Description DariuszSki 2011-06-06 19:21:38 CEST

Description of problem:
After a successful beta then full install of Mageia 1 on my netbook, tried the x86_64 install on my main machine.

When I run MCC, when clicking to install software, update the system, or configure sources, I get the warning message "This program has exited abnormally", then nothing.

I can run urpmi in Konsole to add packages, I cannot add media using command


urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist '$MIRRORLIST'
...retrieving failed: aria2 failed: exited with 0

unable to access the distribution medium (no media.cfg file found)
unable to add medium

Pretty much my system is stuck because the install DID NOT automatically install all the packages that were in my Mandriva setup.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Mageia 1

How reproducible:
Install Mageia 1 as an update to Mandriva 2011.2

Forgot to mention, I do not get any such errors with the netbook install of Mageia 1, which was installed the exact same way as my main machine.

I think it's mgaonline/urpmi.addmedia which updates the urpmi list

I've already upgraded, having installed from burnt ISO earlier in the day.

Because of the MCC problem, I removed all the media then tries to re-add them, but it won't let me re-add the media, with error already mentioned.

After more testing and reboots, the bug is more interesting.

I managed to run
urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist '$MIRRORLIST'
When NOT in KDE4 (not in X), and all main media were added.

But, when running KDE and I use a Konsole session to do a update of packages, I get...

urpmi.update -a
...retrieving failed: aria2 failed: exited with 0

...retrieving failed: aria2 failed: exited with 0

...retrieving failed: aria2 failed: exited with 0

...retrieving failed: aria2 failed: exited with 0

...retrieving failed: aria2 failed: exited with 0

...retrieving failed: aria2 failed: exited with 0


There is no other visual indication in log files I can find that say what is going on, something seems to be wrong in KDE, but don't know what.

Closing this bug as I resorted to a clean install of Mageia which makes this bug report no longer relevant / testable.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
