sunnyjamiel Posted November 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Okay, I was finally able to download The LE2005 Mini CD and installed LE fine. Now all I have with me is the Terminal. It's using IceWM thing for Windows X. 1. How do I connect to the internet? I cant find anything inside the minimal install from where I can configure my Lan setting. Although during install it asked me to configure proxy which I did. 2. How do I install stuff? I think I need to get the Package Manager first or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyjamiel Posted November 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I reinstalled LE2005 from the CD1.iso. Then as told earlier I added the urpmi stuff. But this doesnt seem to work as I can't see any thing to install in the Software Install. I am using Cable net and have already set up my connection and proxy settings. On the Win XP I use the setting along with an ISA server but on Linux Its just the settings, DNS, Gateway, IP, Proxy....... I got the following messages in the Terminal; [root@localhost sunny]# urpmi.removemedia -a using different removable device [/dev/hdc] for "Installation CD1 (cdrom1)" removing medium "Installation CD1 (cdrom1)" found 0 headers in cache removing 0 obsolete headers in cache write config file [/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg] [root@localhost sunny]# urpmi.addmedia main ftp://ftp.clinet.fi/pub/mirrors/Mand rake-linux/official/2006.0/i586/media/main with media_info/hdlist.cz added medium main write config file [/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg] reconfiguring urpmi for media "main" retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "main"... ftp://ftp.clinet.fi/pub/mirrors/Mandrake-...0/i586/media/ma in/media_info/hdlist.cz retrieval of source hdlist (or synthesis) failed no hdlist file found for medium "main" examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.main.cz] problem reading synthesis file of medium "main" found 0 headers in cache removing 0 obsolete headers in cache write config file [/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg] unable to update medium "main" [root@localhost sunny]# urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://ftp.caliu.info/pub/distribu cions/mandrake/official/2006.0/i586/media/contrib with media_info/hdlist.cz added medium contrib write config file [/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg] reconfiguring urpmi for media "contrib" retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "contrib"... ftp://ftp.caliu.info/pub/distribucions/ma....0/i586/media/c ontrib/media_info/hdlist.cz retrieval of source hdlist (or synthesis) failed no hdlist file found for medium "contrib" examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.contrib.cz] problem reading synthesis file of medium "contrib" found 0 headers in cache removing 0 obsolete headers in cache write config file [/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg] unable to update medium "contrib" [root@localhost sunny]# urpmi.addmedia jpackage ftp://ftp.caliu.info/pub/distrib ucions/mandrake/official/2006.0/i586/media/jpackage with media_info/hdlist.cz added medium jpackage write config file [/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg] reconfiguring urpmi for media "jpackage" retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "jpackage"... ftp://ftp.caliu.info/pub/distribucions/ma....0/i586/media/j package/media_info/hdlist.cz retrieval of source hdlist (or synthesis) failed no hdlist file found for medium "jpackage" examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.jpackage.cz] problem reading synthesis file of medium "jpackage" found 0 headers in cache removing 0 obsolete headers in cache write config file [/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg] unable to update medium "jpackage" [root@localhost sunny]# urpmi.addmedia plf-free ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/p lf/mandrake/free/2006.0 with hdlist.cz added medium plf-free write config file [/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg] reconfiguring urpmi for media "plf-free" retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "plf-free"... ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/plf/mandra...006.0/hdlist.cz retrieval of source hdlist (or synthesis) failed no hdlist file found for medium "plf-free" examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.plf-free.cz] problem reading synthesis file of medium "plf-free" found 0 headers in cache removing 0 obsolete headers in cache write config file [/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg] unable to update medium "plf-free" [root@localhost sunny]# urpmi.addmedia plf-nonfree ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pu b/plf/mandrake/non-free/2006.0 with hdlist.cz added medium plf-nonfree write config file [/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg] reconfiguring urpmi for media "plf-nonfree" retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "plf-nonfree"... ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/plf/mandra...006.0/hdlist.cz retrieval of source hdlist (or synthesis) failed no hdlist file found for medium "plf-nonfree" examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.plf-nonfree.cz] problem reading synthesis file of medium "plf-nonfree" found 0 headers in cache removing 0 obsolete headers in cache write config file [/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg] unable to update medium "plf-nonfree" [root@localhost sunny]# urpmi.addmedia --update updates ftp://ftp.caliu.info/pub/distribucions/ma...0/main_updates/ with media_info/hdlist.cz added medium updates write config file [/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg] reconfiguring urpmi for media "updates" retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "updates"... ftp://ftp.caliu.info/pub/distribucions/ma..._info/hdlist.cz 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" found 0 headers in cache removing 0 obsolete headers in cache write config file [/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg] unable to update medium "updates" [root@localhost sunny]# urpmi --auto-select --auto The package(s) are already installed [root@localhost sunny]# So what seems to be the problem here and how to solve it?

jboy Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 You have a syntax error in the with clause of your urpmi.addmedia command: WRONG: with media_info/hdlist.cz You need to use: with ../media_info/hdlist.cz The media_info subdir is a subdir off the media directory, not the main, contrib, jpackage, etc. directory.

sunnyjamiel Posted November 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 ANOTHER WEIRD PROBLEM Everytime I click the Arrow Keys OR Delete Key on my keyboard the Ksnapshot pops up. How to stop that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyjamiel Posted November 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 After trying the ../ fix told above I get the following message [root@localhost sunny]# urpmi.addmedia main ftp://ftp.clinet.fi/pub/mirrors/Mand unable to access hdlist file of "main", medium ignored medium "main" already exists [root@localhost sunny]# rake-linux/official/2006.0/i586/media/main with ../media_info/hdlist.cz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboy Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Oops! After taking a look at that media_info directory, the hdlist files are: hdlist_main.cz hdlist_contrib.cz etc So use: with ../media_info/hdlist_main.cz etc. Take a look at that media_info directory to see.

sunnyjamiel Posted November 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Now I'm getting this same message; [root@localhost sunny]# urpmi.addmedia main ftp://ftp.clinet.fi/pub/mirrors/Mand unable to access hdlist file of "main", medium ignored medium "main" already exists [root@localhost sunny]# rake-linux/official/2006.0/i586/media/main with ../media_info/hdlist_main.cz How to find the media_info directory? And plz how to stop the annoying Ksnapshit everytime i use arrow keys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboy Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 medium "main" already exists <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It looks like main already exists in your urpmi sources, and perhaps the others as well (contrib, jpackage, etc). Do this first to remove them all. urpmi.removemedia -a Then issue the corrected command to addmedia for each of the sources. Can't help you with the ksnapshot issue. Don't know what's going on there.
