Bug 2927

What do you have in /etc/release and /etc/version ?

Probably also a good idea to attach /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg.

Per your request.

cat /etc/release
Mageia release 1 (Official) for i586


cat /etc/version
1 2 cauldron

Looking through /usr/lib/libDrakX/drakfirsttime/mgaonline.pm, I realize it's
using /etc/product.id.  Can you add the contents of that file please.

cat /etc/product.id
vendor=Mageia.Org,distribution=Mageia,type=Basic,version=1,branch=Official,release=1,arch=i586,product=Default

The only thing that appears strange to me, is the mirror format in the
urpmi.cfg file.

On a clean install, urpmi.cfg has entries like
Core\ Release  {
  key-ids: 80420f66
  mirrorlist: $MIRRORLIST
  with-dir: media/core/release
}

If you delete the existing repository entries, and add a full set of
sources, it has ...

Core\ Release\ (distrib1)  {                                                                                       
  key-ids: 80420f66
  mirrorlist: $MIRRORLIST
  with-dir: media/core/release
}

How did you add the repositories?

Try running (as root) drakrpm-edit-media, select all repositories, remove,
then add a full set of sources.

I followed the upgrade instructions at: http://www.mageia.org/en/1/migrate/

$ su
# urpmi.removemedia -a

followed by:
# urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.1.i586.list

urpmi.cfg

urpmi.cfg per your request.

With the changed urpmi.cfg, are you still being prompted with
"A newer version of Mageia distribution has been released"?

I haven't rebooted or logged off, but if I place the cursor over the tray icon I do see the popup message "A new version of Mageia distgribution has been released."  If I click the tray icon I get a dialog box that says the same thing.

My understanding, is that once mgaapplet has detected updates (either normal
updates or a distribution update), it won't forget it, till you restart it
either by running "killall mgaapplet && mgaapplet &", or by logging off/on.

Please do one or the other, and then see if it is still reporting a new
version is available.

No difference after having the machine powered off overnight.

Everything that I know of that should have an impact on this is
identical on your system and mine.

Can someone on the bugsquad assign this bug to the maintainer
of the mgaapplet package please?

mgaonline nobody :/

Thierry, maybe do you have an idea ?

@ Richard

Sorry, we still don't have a maintainer for mgaonline

The problem is still there, I suppose?

I can't find how you installed Mageia 1, did you upgrade from Mandriva 2010.x, or did you do a clean install, or...?

@Marja: well I'm the maintainer of mgaonline, it's just not known.

Actually the problem has gone away.  Not sure why.  Anyway, I did an upgrade from Mandriva 2010.x.  (Whichever Mandriva release was current at the time.)

Thanks for the feedback, apparently an update fixed it. :)
