Description Ezequiel Partida 2022-12-07 21:34:56 CET

Hello,

I´ve been searching for a way to check which repositories are active / disabled inside the shell or konsole, probably there is a way to check and enabled them, but the only way is to run drakrpm-editmedia with GUI.

The reason is that I do mageia updates via ssh and sometimes I get errors since some repositories (Mostly main) have been disabled when an error was found on past updates.. This is really annoying, it would be great to have an option to "Avoid repository disable when error found", it would also be handy to have the configure media sources in text mode.

I have mageia running for digital signaging and I get connected thru ssh, make changes or updates then restart it without getting noticed.

Regards

See the man page for urpmq.
"urpmq --list-media" lists all media.
"urpmq --list-media active" lists just the active media

"urpmq --list-url" will show which mirror is being used.

The "urpmi.addmedia" command can be used to add a mirror.

Using the command line to enable/disable media requires using a text editor
such as mcedit to alter /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg

Add the ignore keyword for media that is not used, update for media that
is searched for updates.

Closing as invalid as bugzilla is not the place for user education.
