I didn't find them in the default repos.

Code: Select all

[marc@Laptop ~]$ urpmq -ayf hdparm
hdparm-9.43-3.mga4.x86_64
[marc@Laptop ~]$ urpmq -ayf smartmon
smartmontools-6.2-2.mga4.x86_64


you should check you repos. You can check with

Code: Select all

urpmq --list-media active

and if that looks okay

Code: Select all

urpmq --list-url

Does this look fine (despite my locale-problem, the other thread)?

Code: Select all

[jaa@localhost ~]$ urpmq --list-media active

urpmq -ayf hdparm
shows the package for me too, but MCC Software Management didn't find it.

[edit]
Only now I realize, there is a selection that read "Packages with GUI". Changed it to "all" and the package was found.
It seems like only my ignorance is a match to my incompetence.
(I already have a prescription for stronger glasses.)

Thanks anyway.
(I'd still like to know if my repos are OK.)

Looks good so far, but you don't have tainted release and tainted updates enabled.

So I should get them enaabled too?

Yes you should enable them too.
Read this page it tells you lot of mageia to beginners.
