Description of problem: Every time when mgaapplet checks the update availability, a series of windows are displayed with the message "Une erreur fatale est survenue : impossible de trouver un miroir dans la liste $MIRRORLIST" that I could translate by something like "A fatal error has happened : Could not find a mirror from mirrorlist $MIRRORLIST". ksysguard says that it is mgaapplet-update-checker which run this window. The message displayed comes from mirrors.pm. But I think I have mirrors configured because I can, when running MCC, do an update without problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. let the computer running and wait for magaapplet to start 2. 3.
http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.5.x86_64.list?reason=update seems ok. I'm wondering whether urpmi rejects broken mirrors, there are quite some that are broken now, even for Mageia 5 http://mirrors.mageia.org/status Christian, can you please attach (don't paste) your /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg ? and please do also attach update.txt that is the result of running in a konsole/terminal, as root: urpmi --auto-update --debug 2>&1 | tee update.txt Thanks :-)

As I am now under mga 6 (and I hope I will stay with it), I re-activate this bug. What is surprising is that I only get this error on my main desktop, installed from scratch (contrary to the above report where mga 5 was upgraded from mga 4, upgraded itself from mga 3, with the distribution on the DVD and sometimes errors during the upgrade). I have 2 laptops and 2 desktop (1 x86_64, 1 i586) under mga 6 that have no problem.

I have also encountered this bug. I applied the following workaround (== changing the distrib link): 1) urpmi.removemedia -a 2) urpmi.addmedia --distrib http://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/mageia.org/distrib/6/x86_64 3) urpmi --auto-update Now updates work fine, but mgaapplet is still lost. After rebooting my machine, if i wait 5 minutes so that mgaapplet automatically launches a check, the $MIRRORLIST error notification has disappeared, but a new one as "no update media configured". Yet "urpmi --auto-update" works fine. And what's weird is that in logs, it tries to update unselected media, for example all the backports.
Yes, it works. I replaced 6 by 5 because I still can't upgrade (see https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23026#c13) and get the same result. In addition, the "no update media configured" notification is an old story coming from 2013-03-14 for my part (https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9386) and that has probably been lost in twists and turns of bugzilla. Maybe Mageia team lacks maintainers to resolve this problem.
(In reply to Christian CHEVALIER from comment #7) > > Maybe Mageia team lacks maintainers to resolve this problem. We always need more hands on deck, like (afaik) every software project. If you know of anyone who'd be interested in helping, please let her or him have a look at https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Contributing. Anyway, is this issue still valid for Mageia 7? If so, please change "Version:" in the upper left of this report to "7" If not, then please close this report as OLD (since support for Mga6 ended in 2019) Thanks :-)
No reply, so closing as OLD
