Mageia forum

https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2685 Got me thinking as I had noticed that performance seemed to have slowed right down since moving from Mageia 1 to 2. In case its relevant that was (after a failed on line upgrade attempt) by a install from the DVD reformatting all Mageia partitions except for home, enabling the tainted and Nonfree repositories and installing the proprietary NVideia drivers (for a GTX 460).
So I ran

Code: Select all

rpm -V

and saw errors. The listing shows these:

I assume that I should

Code: Select all

urpmi -- replacefiles

for all the above listed packages
I am not very familiar with the command line would someone be kind enough to advise if there is an easy way to 'strip' these package names out of this file and into urpmi?
I am thinking

Code: Select all

cat errorlist | xarg -n 1 | urpmi --replacepaackage

but am very uncertain and I don't want to damage my system more:-)

im not a fan of xargs, but a similar way using awk would be

cat errorlist|grep rpm | awk '{print $3}'|while read LINE
do
urpmi --replacepaackage ${LINE}
done


theres a dozen ways to do everything in programing, so pick what ever works for you.

Please be so kind putting any output between [CODE]-tags to keep the forum readable, thanks.

Sorry used List instead - have now changed to code.

Thanks, looks great now.
