URPMI Sources in Mandriva 2006

[Bruno]

URPMI SOURCES MANDRIVA 2006Want access to 100 GB extra software ??There are the new sources you can add to the package manager of Mandriva 2005 to get extra software. Some of them everybody can add, but a few ( the last two ) are only for Club Members.For those new to this concept, here how it´s done:

Go to a console, log in as 'su' and paste the line after the prompt and hit enter.Now it should work and get the list . . . be patient, it takes a while.Then as you get the prompt back, close the console ( Ctrl+d , 2x ).Now that we have added the source to your software manager, we can have a look at all the packages:Go to the MCC --> Software Management --> 'Look at installable software and install software packages' ( the icon with the + ). Now you will see the text : 'All packages' under the search-box., 'All packages' 'by group' change the by group in: 'by medium repository' and you will get a list with the sources you can choose from: CD1, CD2, CD3 and also the Update source and the just added source. Click in the little triangle in front of the new source, and a list will fold out with all the packages you can choose from . . . . FUN, MAGIC, BLISS !

Please remember that after a while your sources might be outdated, so before searching and installing new packages you will have to update your sources with "urpmi.update -a" !!Here they are: ( Don´t click on the links but paste them in a root-console ) YOU HAVE TO BE ON LINE ! All commands are ONE line.Contrib

hi bruno,i thought this might be important. i get this while trying to add the jpackage.

Hi cybor!Diddo for me! I had no problem with the previous ones, however. Did you? I guess not. If you and/or I would have encountered the same problem with all the urpms then I would have suggested moving to a different mirror ( because I had problems with nluug before ) or trying again a few times in case the mirror was overloaded but since it is only the jpackage there could be something wrong with the url ( although Bruno is always careful making sure the links work properly ).Just for the record here is what happened to me ( I am not including the first urpms since they worked );

Sorry guys . . my mistake . . . . . please try this:

# urpmi.addmedia jpackage ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandrakelinux/official/2006.0/i586/media/jpackage with ../media_info/hdlist_jpackage.cz

And to make sure my errorous command did not mess up things please show me:

# cat /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg

Bruno* Corrected info above !

[réjean]

[Satbunny]

I already have a CONTRIB source at Warwick Uni, the official one from the Manriva mirrors list. Do I replace it with the one you showed above or can I stay with that?

When I try and add the CONTRIB in post 1 above this is what happens:

[WizDog]

I got the same error message .. Trying to install OO2 into a fresh CD install of Mandriva 2006

[Bruno]

Hi Satbunny & WizdogSorry about that . . . . . Looks like they removed the hdlist.cz . . . . . Please try this one:

# urpmi.addmedia contrib  ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandrakelinux/official/2006.0/i586/media/contrib with ../media_info/hdlist_contrib.cz

( UPDATE: tested and works )BTW: Satbunny, if you have the contrib from Warwick Uni you might want to replace it by the nluug one ( just to be sure they are in sync ) Bruno

[Bruno]

Two more sources added to first post in this thread:SeerOfSouls

# urpmi.addmedia SeerOfSouls http://seerofsouls.com/RPMS-2006/ with hdlist.cz

BrunoNOTE: Please do not keep all those extra sources "active" all the time . . . only make them "active" ( in MCC ) when you are looking for software you can not find on the CDs . . .and de-activate them when you have those installed.Also do not forget to do "urpmi.update -a" before searching software from an extra source . . . the lists on those mirrors do change from time to time because new software is added or replaces by newer versions.
