Unable to add package media

I have installed 2010 One. I have a working internet connection.

 

When I try to add media for full sources or updates, I get the following message, "There was a problem adding media. Could not find a mirror from mirror list $MIRRORLIST".

 

How do I fix this, please? I have no commandline experience.

 

Thank you.

You didn't list the command you used, but this should do the trick:

 

$ su

$ urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist '$MIRRORLIST'

$ urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist 'http://plf.zarb.org/mirrors/$RELEASE.$ARCH.list'

The Mirror list problem has persisted for about 24 hours.

I feel certain that Mandriva has had a problem and not your system, I had the same problem for about 5 hours.

It maybe fixed by now so just give a try again.

 

Cheers. John.

Thank you, everyone.

 

The problem resolved itself just as you thought, Aussie John and xboxboy. It must have a thing against us ANZACs (I'm a Kiwi).

 

However!!! While adding software, I got this response:

 

Installation failed, some files are missing:

You may need to update your urpmi database.

 

Try to continue anyway?

 

 

Any ideas how I fix this? The MCC GUI doesn't let me edit the mirror, that I can find.

 

Merry Christmas, all. In NZ we get it first, so I'll be over it before you!!
