NEEDINFO BASE_LEVEL=standard To more precisely state what happens when the system first boots, the icon is initially orange and mousing over it reveals an indication that it will check for updates a few minutes later. After the time to check for updates is reached, the "Fatal error" relating to $MIRRORLIST occurs. After dismissing four such dialogs in series, the icon turns red.

Permissions for media.cfg are supposed to be 644, as for the other two files in this directory. Could you chmod 644 media.cfg and try again?

After > dismissing four such dialogs in series, the icon turns red. Could you try these steps and see if this fixes the problem for you? 1) Run drakrpm-editmedia as root. 2) Select all media and remove them. 3) Open the File > Add a specific mirror menu, and select the mirror you want, for instance http://mirrors.kernel.org/mageia/distrib/6/. 4) Click OK. Probably a reboot is needed for mgaapplet to correctly take these changes into account. Ok, well, it is not possible to uncheck anything from the Updates column, but I did uncheck all Enabled. I'm not sure how this removes media, but I'll take your word for it. I would have thought "removing media" had more to do with getting urpmq --list-media to return nothing. With all this recent activity, now I see some 272 media listed by `urpmq --list-media`. I think this did we did was add more media to urpmi.cfg. It's starting to look like a mess of duplicates. in fact, what this did was cause the count to go from 227 to 272... that seems broken somehow. I didn't believe that the drakrpm-editmedia suggestion worked because I still got the same Fatal error dialogs (4) afterward, but now I am not entirely sure because I did something else, and get (8) Fatal error dialogs, but the mgaapplet icon is now a blue one that says "Your system is up to date". What I did was use urpmi.removemedia to remove all media so that `urpmq --list-media` returned nothing, Then I used `drakrpm-editmedia` to add new media. I used the "Add" button instead of File > Add though. As I also saw that `urpmq --list-media` by my desktop user (without wheel access) returned: $ urpmq --list-media mirror list not found Could not find a mirror from mirrorlist $MIRRORLIST I also added this user (it is the one whose desktop mgaapplet is running in) to the rpms group, but I think this is not related nor effective as `urpmq --list-media` for this user still returns an error. As my system is presently up-to-date, I don't really know if mgaapplet will update it now, but since the red icon is gone, perhaps the underlying issue is fixed. The Fatal error dialogs, however, are still a malfunction. They grab focus from whatever I am doing and I have to repeatedly dismiss multiple dialogs. These dialogs happen at the interval that mgaapplet tries to check the state of the system. They should not occur. I believe that the difference between 4 and 8 dialogs may be related to /etc/urpmi/mediacfg.d/Official-6-x86_64/url. After doing all of the above, this file has changed. Sadly I don't have a copy of the original, but I know it is different. I think it used to look like the following, and though I'm not absolutely sure both final entries were 100% identical, I think they were: /tmp/image http://mirrors.kernel.org/mageia/distrib/6/x86_64 http://mirrors.kernel.org/mageia/distrib/6/x86_64 Now the looks like: tmp/image\nhttp://mirrors.kernel.org/mageia/distrib/6/x86_64\nhttp://mirror.nexcess.net/mageia/distrib/6/x86_64http://mirror.nexcess.net/mageia/distrib/6/x86_64 This looks broken. Notice the literal \n occurances and the malformed nexcess.net url that seems to have two urls butted up against each other. Confirming that after some hours, still no red (?) icon, and blue checkbox icon persists even after mgaapplet checked for updates again - as evidenced by eight (8) more new Fatal error dialogs to click through. So part of the problem appears to be fixed - presuming that updates apply when more come out. mgaapplet is blue checkmark and indicates "Your system is up-to-date", BUT, urpmi tells another story: $ sudo urpmi --update --auto-select To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed: Package Version Release Arch (medium "Core Updates (distrib3)") copy-jdk-configs 2.3 1.mga6 noarch cpupower 4.9.40 1.mga6 x86_64 gdk-pixbuf2.0 2.36.7 1.mga6 x86_64 java-1.8.0-openjdk 1.8.0.141 1.b16.1.mga6 x86_64 java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless 1.8.0.141 1.b16.1.mga6 x86_64 kernel-desktop-4.9.40-1.mga6 1 1.mga6 x86_64 kernel-desktop-devel-4.9.40-1> 1 1.mga6 x86_64 kernel-desktop-devel-latest 4.9.40 1.mga6 x86_64 kernel-desktop-latest 4.9.40 1.mga6 x86_64 kernel-userspace-headers 4.9.40 1.mga6 x86_64 lib64gdk_pixbuf-gir2.0 2.36.7 1.mga6 x86_64 lib64gdk_pixbuf2.0_0 2.36.7 1.mga6 x86_64 lib64graphicsmagick3 1.3.26 1.1.mga6 x86_64 lib64javascriptcore-gir4.0 2.16.6 1.mga6 x86_64 lib64javascriptcoregtk4.0_18 2.16.6 1.mga6 x86_64 lib64pq5.7 9.4.12 1.1.mga6 x86_64 lib64webkit2gtk-gir4.0 2.16.6 1.mga6 x86_64 lib64webkit2gtk4.0_37 2.16.6 1.mga6 x86_64 rpm-mageia-setup 2.20 9.1.mga6 x86_64 webkit2 2.16.6 1.mga6 x86_64 91MB of additional disk space will be used. 113MB of packages will be retrieved. Proceed with the installation of the 20 packages? (Y/n) This problem was originally reported against: mgaonline-3.24.1-1.mga6.src.rpm Progress made as of this point was lost when an update applied: mgaonline-3.24.1-1.mga6.src.rpm In other words, upgrade from mgaonline-3.24.1-1.mga6.src.rpm to mgaonline-3.24.1-1.mga6.src.rpm reverted the state of the system to a red (?) icon again, and once again mgaapplet indicates no sources have been added, so it seems clear there is something broken in the package definition that is to blame. To re-iterate the problem, no automatic updates take place. A user must update by other means. mgaonline will not perform this action. Furthermore, as long as the system is up, periodically mgaapplet with throw fatal groups of four fatal error dialogs at periodic intervals apparently tied to the configuration that defines how frequently it checks for updates. Sometimes the fatal error dialogs stay behind an app the user is running, but often they disrupt user activity by grabbing focus away from the application of choice. In my opinion, in a day and age when security is important, this is a serious issue - even if updating is manually possible. Source RPM:

kbulgrien Mageia 6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-09-30. It is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't able to fix it before Mageia 6's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you most [2].
