I do use a firewall, i thought that it might be a problem indeed. Can i just open some port in order to enable URPMI's connection (same happend to Emule on XP) ?

It happens to me very often, so i've learned to ignore that...

It's not there... I mean this:

I'll try your sourse, thanks, but now i have that problem: [root@Linux ilia]# urpmi.addmedia --update updates ftp://ftp.song.fi/pub/mirrors/Mandrake-linux/official/updates/10.1/main_updates/ with media_info/hdlist.cz added medium updates retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "updates"... ftp://ftp.song.fi/pub/mirrors/Mandrake-linux/official/updates/10.1/main_updates/media_info/hdlist.cz ...retrieving failed: curl: (7) couldn't connect retrieval of source hdlist (or synthesis) failed no hdlist file found for medium "updates" examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.updates.cz] problem reading synthesis file of medium "updates" unable to update medium "updates" [root@Linux ilia]# Is this the problem you mentioned above?

How do i bring back the icon of the network connection status, after i removed it from a panel? I can't find it anywhere... Thanks

It simply stucks... what next? [root@Linux ilia]# urpmi.addmedia main ftp://sunsite.mff.cuni.cz/OS/Linux/Dist/Mandrake/mandrake/official/ 10.1/i586/media/main with media_info/hdlist.cz added medium main examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Installation CD 2 (cdrom2).cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Installation CD 3 (cdrom3).cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Installation CD 1 (cdrom1).cz] ...and that's it

Yes!!! Finally i managed to set up a LAN internet connection at home! Now, i'm ready to start with URPMI again

I found an intresting article about comparison of web browsers such as Firefox, Netscape, Mozilla, MS Explorer & ... on different platforms: Linux, Mac, Win. A very disappointing findings for FireFox supporters, such as me :o [moved from Software by spinynorman]

<== My was made in Adobe Photoshope 7.0 (before I adopted Linux). It is an altered picture from Daft Punk 'Interstella 5555' movie. I like that guys, great music!

Thank you guys, but i've chenged my internet connection, so i don't have internet on my linux box for a wile... :( I'm connecting it through a router to an ADSL, maybe that will change the whole thing :D Thanks again for your help!

I tried other servers too and got the same results...

How does urpmi connects to the internet? I use a proxy on a local PC to share the connection. Maybe the problem is that it can't connect to the internet?

Hi, yesterday i tried to add a source to the urpmi and that's what i got: [root@Linux ilia]# urpmi.addmedia mud_GPL ftp://mandrivauser.de/rpm/GPL/10.1/RPMS/ with hdlist.cz added medium mud_GPL examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Installation CD 2 (cdrom2).cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Installation CD 3 (cdrom3).cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Installation CD 1 (cdrom1).cz] retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "mud_GPL"... ftp://mandrivauser.de/rpm/GPL/10.1/RPMS/hdlist.cz ...retrieving failed: curl: (52) Empty reply from server retrieval of source hdlist (or synthesis) failed no hdlist file found for medium "mud_GPL" examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.mud_GPL.cz] problem reading synthesis file of medium "mud_GPL" unable to update medium "mud_GPL" [root@Linux ilia]# What is wrong and what are possible solutions? Thanks.

Thank you chalex20, i'll definetely try it!

Yes it does, but for MDK 10.0, i use 10.1 Will it work for me too?

Lockheed Martin steps up with a little help from open source OS... Linux enlisted for mission-critical defence app Published: Thursday 1 December 2005

me too :D

Sometimes it is easier to use CLI indeed, but unfortunately i don't know so mush commands (it is hurd to memorize them all :sad: ) so i use GUI. I think that one day i'll sucrifise some of my time to learn & memorize more commands.

I voted freshman. I think that i know the basics of linux and that's all. I had some experience in manual driver installation and a little bit of samba, but i still have to learn & learn till i could make it my defoult OS.

The main idea was to check the popularity of Linux at younger ages, becouse as i can see now, it's not so popular. It doesn't really matter for me when you started using linux. Many users started at 30+. I think that Linux should be spreaded at younger ages in order to avoid that linux/windows transition and make linux more common. If linux was common, then maybe it'll push hardware produsers to support it more. Everyone will benefit, except M$ :D .

The same for me, but i don't really know what coused me to start using Linux, i think i just was bored...

Have any toughts about that?

Hi, once again i had an argue with my friend about Linux. He claims, that linux is popular among people in 19-23 ages. They are young, impulsive and feel rebellious, they angry with no reason at M$ - that is why they use linux. I partially agree with him, except that i'm not angry at MS. I also think that linux must be presented in front of youth (under 15) - in order to drow attention and possibly make it more common. I installed my first distro at 20. What do you think?

Exactly... I've realized that after switching several distros :D
