arctic Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 when installing software and updating your system, you should do this preferrably by using easyurpmi. this saves you the well known problem that exists with dvds and it gives you access to the latest versions of the apps you need, including patches and bugfixes. once you have set up the mirrors, type "urpmi <packagename>" as root and you are done.

Guest B3Nji Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Great man, only one problem... it keeps saying addmedia command not recognised when i go to input that information the tool creates in root. nothing is ever simple for me EDIT egnor this, gone into the console in the control panel, seems to be downloading OK. cheers for the help.

arctic Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 open a terminal (small black monitor), then log in as root (type su, followed by the root password). now enter one by one the information easyurpmi gives you, e.g. urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://ftp.u-strasbg.fr/pub/linux/distribu...6/media/contrib with media_info/hdlist.cz and press enter. it should set up the mirror by downloading the hdlist information. if it complains about already installed mirrors, remove the mirrors from your repositories before adding the new ones. this one is the command you need for that: urpmi.removemedia -a here is a good howto: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=17480 good luck :) edit: added "removing urpmi mirror" command Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Be sure you are typing exactly what the instructions say. It's important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 and don't worry about that "Bad signiture" message you get. A lot of us just ignore that and usually just means we never set up the key to the download site. Just continue on. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 I've had this before, and had to reinitialise urpmi. This was done by: urpmi.removemedia -a and then I used easyurpmi to add all the sources again for main, contrib, jpackage, plf-free, plf-nonfree, updates.
