Mageia forum

Hi,
I have upgrade my Mageia 2 to Mageia 3 but I have some very unpleasent issues.
1. I can't add medium location manually. It always said that could not connect. in "Configure media sources for install and update" when I press "Add" button it adds $mirrors medias for M2. If I try from menu File > Add a custom medium it said that could not load configuration. Only works command: urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.3.x86_64.list
But baackports mediums are not selected. Also when I try command urpmi --auto-update it said:

mirror list not found
Could not find a mirror from mirrorlist http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.3.x86_64.list

So I have to install updates manually from "Install & Remove Software" selected from combo box "All update"
Also in "Configure media sources for install and update" when I select from menu Fail -> Update and select all mediums it said again:

Unable to update medium; it will be automatically disabled.
Errors:
mirror list not found
Could not find a mirror from mirrorlist http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.3.x86_64.list

2, Second problem is with my Nividia video card. After upgrade and reboot in xorg.conf file "nvidia" driver was replaced with "nouveau". I have run XFDrake to change video driver. Selected GeForce 8100 to GeForce 360 (lshw prints that mi card is: product: G92 [GeForce 9600 GSO]) and then I pressed "Test" buton I got error: "An error occured: no screens found"
in Xorg.9.log file it say: Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0)
in syslog I found this:

May 30 22:43:33 icobgr kernel: NVRM: The NVIDIA probe routine was not called for 1 device(s).
May 30 22:43:33 icobgr kernel: NVRM: This can occur when a driver such as nouveau, rivafb,
May 30 22:43:33 icobgr kernel: NVRM: nvidiafb, or rivatv was loaded and obtained ownership of
May 30 22:43:33 icobgr kernel: NVRM: the NVIDIA device(s).
May 30 22:43:33 icobgr kernel: NVRM: Try unloading the conflicting kernel module (and/or
May 30 22:43:33 icobgr kernel: NVRM: reconfigure your kernel without the conflicting
May 30 22:43:33 icobgr kernel: NVRM: driver(s)), then try loading the NVIDIA kernel module
May 30 22:43:33 icobgr kernel: NVRM: again.
May 30 22:43:33 icobgr kernel: NVRM: No NVIDIA graphics adapter probed!

So, any help for those two issue will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Hristo

The missing mirros thing might have been a temporary problem accessing the servers. They appeared to be intermittently inaccessible yesterday.

I have upgraded to M3 on next day it was anounced. From when I check almost every day and this problem exists. It is not with connection. Something is wron with urpmi configuration and I don't know what. It is not normal to add M2 mirrors mediums when I press Add button.

Please only one problem per thread, create a separate thread for your question about nvidia/nouveau.

For this one, please show the output of the following:

Your mirror location is probably having some problems.
Change to another location from
http://mirrors.mageia.org/distrib
Careful to choose Mageia 3 and the right i586 or x86_64
{copy this url to the <mirror_url> below}

Code: Select all

urpmi.removemedia -a
urpmi.addmedia --distrib <mirror_url>
urpmi --auto-update

Then go to mcc and include whatever repo (tainted, etc) you need and update again.
Good luck

Here is the result:

How you see I cannot add distribution.

Only works: urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.3.x86_64.list

Only works: urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.3.x86_64.list

So this works now? Good.
as for
urpmi.addmedia --distrib <url>

try another one, the url you used
http://mageia.mirror.dkm.cz/pub/mageia/distrib/3/x86_64
may have a problem then.

see
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_3_rc# ... _.28CLI.29

both urpmi.addmedia --distrib <url> and urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.3.x86_64.list works.
The former allows you to select the location you want.

i also see this issue with 2 often when i try to use the mcc add repos control pannel. ie no media.cfg file found

i always get by with the following command instead.

urpmi.addmedia --distrib http://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/mirrors/linux/mage ... /2/x86_64/

for mga2 that is.

i do wonder if its firewalls blocking rsync , as i usualy get this on my work non corperate network, where we are given some free access but some restrictions.

Well, you may want to take a look at http://mirrors.mageia.org/ - if there are some protocols marked red in the rightmost column, that means that the mirror has some problems with that protocol.

You may also want to specify --wget as downloader if curl is not working. Personally i wouldn't use rsync as downloader.

I have wrote that adding URL as distribution DOES NOt work. Only works adding mirrorlist.
Also even that I have added mirror list URL http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.3.x86_64.list after that if I try "urpmi --auto-update" this does NOT work:

[root@icobgr bin]# urpmi --auto-update
mirror list not found
Could not find a mirror from mirrorlist http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.3.x86_64.list

So how much URLs did you try? Did you try to specify a different downloader as proposed?

I dodn't count. Yes, I have tried with wget and aria2 as well but it is the same.
It is not normal when I press Add button in COnfuguration meduims to add mirror list for Mageia 2 not for Mageia 3.

Well, it's also not normal that you can't add repositories from any mirror, even when trying all downloaders.

Hai.. I have the sam problem. I can't add the medium, no mirrorlist can be founded. Have you a solution for your problem?

It might help if you won't reply to threads which are dead since several years, last post before yours is from 3 years ago. Please open a separate thread for your issue, and provide the basic details like which Mageia release you're using, and how exactly you tried to add the repos.
