Hi there. I would need some help around media configuration on mageia 2. There has been some time I have installed mageia 2 in a virtual machin on my job. Right now I need to update a package, but I really can't get to configure update media. When I got to MCC and then to media settings I get

Code: Select all

Impossible d'ajouter le média, erreurs rapportées :

mirror list not found
... échec de la récupération :
impossible d'accéder au média de distribution (pas de fichier media.cfg trouvé)

Média : distrib ()

No difference when I try it with wget or curl:

The message

Code: Select all

aria2c: Exception: [AbstractCommand.cc:858] errorCode=1 Failed to establish connection, cause: No route to host

makes me think that it might be a security problem of the virtual machine network, which belongs to the university network...

Can you ping one of the mirrors from http://mirrors.mageia.org/ directly, or dowload from it? The use urpmi --distrib to point directly at a mirror.
