I like Mageia. Some thoughts...
I installed the 64 bit version and was just amazed at the speed of things.
Dolphin is also very nice and up to date. At this time, I am unable to update the installation. It just won't work. Also want to mention that the interface is a bit confusing but I was able to figure it out. I had 7 or more tabs open in Firefox when the screen suddenly went black. In a second or two, it came back at the log in screen. No harm done but I wonder what caused it. I tried to download the latest version last night, but it failed. May have to purchase a disc. |
What happens when you try to update? How are you trying to update? Which Mageia release are you running? What are your computer specs?

Remove your current mirror and add a new one.
The Graphical Way: ================== Open package manager--> Configure media sources for install and update--> Select all the entries then click remove. Goto File--> Add a specific media mirror--> Click Full set of sources. Now goto File--> update--> Select All, then click Update. Click ok to go back to previous screen, then click Update your system. The Commandline Way: (You can copy and paste these commands one at a time to the terminal) =================== Open a terminal, type su press enter. Type in your root password, press enter. Now type: Code:
urpmi.removemedia -a Code:
urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist '$MIRRORLIST' Code:
urpmi.update Code:
urpmi --auto-select |
Got it. Thanks.
