[SOLVED] Kernel update failure

[harkelyn]

I used to have Mageia 5 on a 32-bit PC. Then for several years I did not use Mageia at all, until I installed Mageia 7 on a 64-bit Dell laptop last week. It's a very basic installation, not dual-booting, Cinnamon desktop and there are no encrypted files. Booted this laptop on 29 December and got my first notice of updates ready to install. Started the process using Mageia Control Center and updates seemed to install okay (I wasn't paying close attention) except for a kernel update failure message. I restarted and now MCC seems broken- it won't open. So, I opened the terminal and tried completing the update, however, "package kernel-desktop-5.4.6-2.mga7-1-1.mga7.x86_64 does not verify". I possess only rudimentary skills with Linux. How can I remedy this?

hi,

It is likely that there was an issue with the mirror when you downloaded the update.
it may have been updating when you were updating.

anyway, when you now try to update, urpmi tries to install from your cache, rather than downloading a new package.

to fix that as root:

Code: Select all

urpmi --clean

then

Code: Select all

urpmi --auto-update

.

let us know if there are further problems

[harkelyn]

Hello, thank you for the suggestion, which I followed. Once again, Installation failed: package kernel-desktop-5.4.6-2.mga7-1-1.mga7.x86_64 does not verify: the same result. I'll be traveling for the next couple of days, might not get back into this until Wednesday.

oh!

under MCC Software Management => Configure media sources for install and update => (File, top left) add a specific media mirror.

please change your mirror to a specific one, see attached - princeton seems to work ok .
(I am obviously running a i586 system),

then re-run

Code: Select all

urpmi --clean

, and

Code: Select all

urpmi --auto-update

again, let us know if there are problems.

* also

Code: Select all

free -m

likelihood of 2 suspect mirrors is low.
you may have suspect ram, that is affecting the ~50MB kernel download, likewise, a suspect HDD sector that the var/cache/urmpi is saving to,

[harkelyn]

This => Configure media sources for install and update => (File, top left) add a specific media mirror. -worked, so the issue is fully resolved now. Thank you!
