Unable to add Core Release repo [solved]

[Guest dwightpaige79]

Just installed Mageia Alpha 1 and very much looking forward to testing it. So far looks pretty darn good for a Pre-Alpha release. I've run into a snag though. Can't get the Core Release repo enabled. Error:

 

Unable to update medium, errors reported:

 

...retrieving failed: aria2 failed: exited with 3

problem reading synthesis file of medium "Core Release (distrib1)"

 

Is anyone else seeing this? Is there anything like easyurpmi for Mageia? Admittedly I don't know much about Magiea ins and outs yet. I do use Mandriva Cooker though. Will keep looking and learning.

Ok, this was a waste of a post. Coffee hadn't kicked in yet. [Mardi Gras].

 

# urpmi.addmedia --distrib ftp://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64

 

Fixed it. Dwight appologize for wasting time/bandwidth...

Yeah, even when it's embarrassing I try to follow up on posts and mark things that are solved as 'Solved.'.

Nothing is embarassing, we've all been there and done that :)
