Guest arise Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 Hi, im having some problems with URPMI...i wanted to install K3B and if i type "urpmi k3b" it displays 2 packages, then when i try to "urpmi k3b-0.74mdk......" it says it cannot find the file. 1. How can I see the sources list (MD9 original DVD which has "all" 3CDs, plus internet sources)? 2. How can I add an internet source, and actually CHOOSE it as source over the CDs? 3. Which are good internet sources? I tried to use the PLF (Penguin Liberation Front) source for installing DVD::Rip (and all 10000 dependent packages it needs....cdrecord,mkisofs,etc), but it says it cannot find the packages. Regarding the PLF repository, i checked it out using FTP, and the packages ARE in the right directory on the server...somehow my URPMI doesn't see it, or use it properly... Help please :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 if you have downloaded the rpm already then cd /path/to/where/the/rpm/is urpmi ./k3b.x.x.x.rpm will install it 1. you can see the sources by urpmi.update (with no arguments) 2. adding others sources is easy, and this link will make it even easier http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/urpmiweb.php 3. PLF, texstar, and MandrakeClub (if you're a member) is all you should ever need (mostly) if you're getting errors post them here, maybe we can help more then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest arise Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 Thanks Paul... I did not download any RPMs yet, that's why i'm trying to install them from the Internet...I tried to compile K3B 0.8 yesterday and "make" breaks down cos there are a lot of libraries missing (liblasound, for example)...so i don't know which packages to install in order to satisfy dependencies. I was going to install K3B 0.74 using URPMI, then upgrade to 0.8 once 0.74 is installed (with all deps). Will post the errors later on today, when i get back home...
