[SOLVED] I cannot explore the network !

[jag]

I have a laptop and a desktop, both have Mageia 2 as OS.
With the desktop I can see the network in a window when I click on the network icon but, when I try to do the same way with the laptop I get an error message. Investigating about the reason of this I discovered that the problem comes from the gvfs-smb file who is missing as the 1.12.1 64 bit version while the 586 ver and the 1.12.3 64 bit are well there (but the last one can break the system, as it seems ?) . I checked all the repository names one by one comparing on each PC and did not find any difference unless...?
Can someone tell me if knows the solution?

[tom_]

in the repos I can see

gvfs-smb-1.12.1-1.mga2.i586.rpm is in updates,
gvfs-smb-1.12.3-1.mga2.i586.rpm is in updates_testing

so you have different repos enabled.

Hello tom,
Yes, I also have the first one but my system is 64 bit and I have another PC using Mageia and I can see the 64 bit version. This is strange !

[tom_]

yes, it is starnge.
probably you have problem with the repository settings.

on my 64bit machine I have these settings,
run these 2 commands and compare the results with yours (expecially 36/64 bit parts)

urpmq --list-url contains more than 15url and cannot be displayed according the forum limitation...

Any idea ?

[isadora]

Jag, you can avoid limitations by using code-tags.
So select the output of urpmq and posting it between [CODE][/CODE]-tags will help you out.

Good luck!!!

Hello !
I've choosen another source and the gvfs-smb for 64 bit computers appaers but when I click for installation I get a message telling it could not be installed . At this point I don't know what to do more !

[jkerr82508]

You have enabled testing repo's. This is not recommended because untested packages can make your system unstable. For this reason, the testing repo's are disabled by default. Since you may have already installed packages from the testing repo's, your problem may arise from version conflicts among the installed packages.
To identify which gvfs packages you have installed, enter the following command in a root terminal:

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep gvfs

I believe that they should all be version 1.12.1-1

Jim

[doktor5000]

Ok, I understand the problem !
I have this :

Code: Select all

gvfs-iphone-1.12.3-1.mga2
lib64gvfs0-1.12.3-1.mga2
gvfs-obexftp-1.12.3-1.mga2
gvfs-1.12.3-1.mga2

I suppose I have now to try uninstalling these packages then, uncheck the testing repo's and after that re-install the ver 1.12.2-1 ver, right ?

I had before the testing repo's I cancelled them according to the advise from jker82508.
I uninstalled the 1.12.1's packages + some others that were automatically uninstalled by the system and
I reinstalled all the 1.12.1 package and some other that were deleted before et checked....
EVERYTHING WORKS NOW WELL !

Thank you very much tom and jker82508 for your help !!!

[jag]

Sorry, I made a mistake :
I uninstalled the 1.12.3's packages + some others that were automatically uninstalled by the system and
I reinstalled all the 1.12.1 package and some other that were deleted before et checked....

[Ken-Bergen]

I'm glad you got it working but you missed one testing repository.

Code: Select all

Tainted Updates Testing ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/mageia/distrib/2/x86_64/media/tainted/updates_testing

As Jim eluded to leaving any testing repositories enabled is like running Cauldron, things will probably break.

[jag]

Hello Ken,
Thank you for your kind attention, it's now done !
