I'll check 64bit iso next.

Nov 06 14:18:38 localhost pkexec[1707]: root: The value for the SHELL variable was not found the /etc/shells file [USER=root] [TTY=unknown] [CWD=/] [COMMAND=/usr/libexec/drakrpm-addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist $MIRRORLIST --silent-success]

could be related to something else (I have not read all recent bugs)

Same with 64bit Gnome LiveDVD.

Kde 32bit did add medias. I'll check the other live ISOs too.

Might be another gnome only issue.

KDE 64bit LiveDVD adds medias also, so it appears to be just Gnome affected.

[root@i4v ~]# cat /usr/bin/gurpmi.addmedia

if  [[ "" != "0" ]] ; then

else
    exec /usr/libexec/drakrpm-addmedia $""*
fi

The extra double quotes seem to be causing the command to append all files
listed in /, rather then the parameters that were passed.

Also, as Colin suggested, in the if stmt, might be better to use $UID,
rather then $(id -u). I got into the habit of using id -u, several years
ago, due to it being used in some hacks, but now that it's a read only
variable in bash, I don't think we need to worry about that.

the patch works, it's gnome / gdm that is borkes and does not init the environment properly...

otherwise kde isos would show the same issue.

still valid gnome livecd (Nov 10th build)

Still valid kde4 x86_64 live dvd.

In the installed system, running 
"gurpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist '$MIRRORLIST'"
displays a dialog with the message
"bad <url> (for local directory the path must be absolute
 tmp".

After editing gurpmi.addmedia, and changing both $""* to "$@",
it's still failing with a message
"Unable to add medium, errors reported:

...retrieving failed: unknown protocol defined for $MIRRORLIST at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.18.1/urpm/download.pm line 989.
unable to access the distribution medium (no media.cfg file found)

Medium:  ($MIRRORLIST)"

urpmi.addmedia is working, but not gurpmi.addmedia.

Ignore the no media.cfg file found. That seems to have been a
temporary mirror problem.

With "$@", it's now working. Note that it must be "$@", not "$*",
or '$*, or '$@", in the resulting bash script, for it to work
properly.

Not sure where the '$*, or '$@" examples come from. I think perhaps people were confused with the workaround for Makefile handling of the $* and $@ variables before and thinking they had special meaning. They do not. The $""* that appeared in the generated files was simply due to not changing the double quotes to single ones when the expression was converted to be single quoted overall.

It was intended that I only used $* before but as you point out "$@" is better as it handles spaces and other special chars in arguments. In Makefiles speak assuming a single quoted echo, this will be "$$''@" which I've now committed in drakrpm and drakx itself (so covers stage2 and drakxtools)

I need to roll out to other Makefiles in time.

was fixed

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

$ drakrpm
/usr/bin/drakrpm: line 5:  4770 Segmentation fault      /usr/bin/pkexec /usr/libexec/drakrpm "$@"

this isue after i use this commands:
       
       urpmi.removemedia -a
       urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist            'http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.cauldron.x86_64.list'
       urpmi --auto-update --auto 
       urpmi --auto-update
      *and have an problem then fix with 64-65-66-67*
  
   64  rm -f /var/lib/rpm/_db*
   65  rm -f /var/lib/rpm/.RPMLOCK
   66  rpm --rebuilddb
   67  rpm -q rpm
   68  urpmi --auto-update

Sorry-i cant speak english well.
