JonEberger Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 does anybody use the mirrors.secsup.org as their urpmi repository? if so, has anyone had difficulties connecting to it? [moved from Software by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxplayer14 Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 I have them as mirrors. I think yesterday there was some problems connecting just because I got some errors. But usually I connect ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyme Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 there's no fluxbox in the official updates on that server. there's some command for urpmi to update your hdlists, i can't remember what it is, but man urpmi should reveal it. run that, then try again.

JonEberger Posted April 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 well the difficulty being that i'd gotten flux from those servers for another machine not a week ago. so i was shocked to see that it didn't work. but i waited until tonight and it worked like a champ. i'm running flux as we speak. it's so much easier to do it the urpmi way. it may not be the newest release...but oh well.

domtar Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 there is a fluxbox in contrib which is where urpmi was looking and could not connect using curl curl is the app that urpmi uses to browse and download packages optionally, you can tell it to use wget but curl is just fine the command to update your entire urpmi database is urpmi.update -a try again because the fluxbaox rpm is there and it is the same version. curl, as the error indicates, just couldn't connect. mirror must have been down. It happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
