Description Omer I.S. 2020-11-10 04:38:40 CET
Description of problem:
Can not use/install from "Core release" and "Core updates" media.
Comment 1 Morgan Leijström 2020-11-10 08:42:01 CET
Thank you for reporting.

Have the medias worked before and stopped working, or never worked?

Mageia 7 or Cauldron?

How did you install Mageia?

Did you configure media sources?


The Mageia Welcome app that is shown after login (and you can also start it manually) contain more info on this and other things good to know to get started, and links to further information.

If you are new to Mageia, maybe better seek advice using our forum.

Hello, the media never worked on Mageia Cauldron. This bug happened with upgrading from version 7 and with clean installation. This bug happened by default and configuration of the media sources can not fix it.

Upgrading is not supported currently.
But, after a new try on my side, Cauldron Repositories are OK now.

I let you to do a new try.

Comment 7 Lewis Smith 2020-11-12 22:27:55 CET
This looks likea mirror problem. What country are you in?
 $ urpmq --list-url
will show what mirror repos you are actually using.
Worth trying to change the mirror:

This is described in the MCC manual (you may need to install the package
 mageia-doc-mcc-<language>
to see this), from the main application menu Documentation-MCC Manual:
Software Management
 Configure Media
  The menu
   File -> Add a specific media mirror
which says you should first remove all your current media, then select a mirror, then re-select the media you want.

Hello, using a specific mirror very helps, thank you. In the menu of the mirrors, I tried to use the mirror of Israel (my local mirror), a mirror from France, and a mirror from the USA, but only the mirror from USA worked correctly.

Yes, and I'll reopen this bug if there it will back.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED

Comment 11 Omer I.S. 2020-12-01 16:55:47 CET
This bug happened because the order of the packages. The installer media sources should not be the main sources. Please move the installer sources to the end of the order to prevent other users experiencing this bug.

Resolution: WORKSFORME => (none)
Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED
Severity: major => minor

Comment 12 Aurelien Oudelet 2020-12-01 17:07:34 CET
If you do an offline installation from M7 ISO or Cauldron Beta 1,install medias are not activated after first reboot. Also, launching mgaapplet (updater systray icon) or rpmdrake will ask you to add online repos.

After you added online repositories, Installer ones are not activated by default and they never should not be activated.

Resolution: (none) => INVALID
Status: REOPENED => RESOLVED

There is a bug in the installer about the internet connection, I'll open a new bug.
