Description of problem: Package media editor in taskbar is a questionmark on a red background, and repeated grey popup windows say Warning: no medium found, You must add... This is untrue. Media have beeen added and are normally usable. Popup is very confusing for new user, and popups repeat at sometimes frequent intervals. We've discussed this in qa. I've tried the suggestion there to use other than gdm display manager (which led to just-filed but 24959: Xorg display manager doesn't allow login!) Using kacage media editor from a different display manager doesn't prevent the popups continuing to appear when back using gdm. The appearance of package media editor in the taskbar is flakey: it can disappear for a while, but is back with its white questionmark on red background as I type this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Created attachment 11099 [details] urpmi.cfg with some enabled media, with which the bug occurs I see this, too, but don't think gdm causes it. I use sddm. Maybe mgaonline has a problem talking to urpmi?

1. Please show the output of ls -l /var/lib/urpmi and cat /etc/security/msec/security.conf 2. When/how did you add the media (e.g. at end of install, from MCC started from desktop menu or shortcut, from command line)

Created attachment 11120 [details] output of ls -l /var/lib/urpmi see attached 'urpmifiles' for output of ls -l /var/lib/urpmi
$ cat /etc/security/msec/security.conf BASE_LEVEL=standard media were added after reboot following initial install, from MCC started from desktop toolbar (xfce)
And were you starting Xfce from GDM when you added the media?

Yes, although had done classic install and selected the full range of desktops to install, I'd not actually used any of these - only xfce
OK, this is definitely a duplicate of bug 24636. You should be able to fix your existing system by going into "Configure media sources..." in MCC, removing the media, and then re-adding them (without leaving "Configure media sources..."). @Marja, check the file permissions in /var/lib/urpmi. If the files aren't world-readable, you'll see the same symptoms, even if the cause is different. One known cause is setting the msec security level to high (which I think is bug 9386). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 24636 ***
