Mandriva PWP adding medium
I've got Mandriva 10 powerpack installed, so it wants to add the powerpack medium as part of my available packages. Unfortunately when I enter my user information and password I get a nondescript error message - there was an error adding the medium.
It's not my password as I tried using a different password and it then gives me a message saying my password is incorrect. When I use the right password, I just the an error adding the medium. THoughts? Could it be because I subscribed to powerpack 2009? SOLVED: Solution, as root, in a command terminal, run the following: mdkapplet-restricted-helper 2010.0 |
Redundant post deleted - OP has found the solution.

Follow up question - related.
I've got Mandriva 2010 PWP installed on a web server and want to add the powerpack distribution medium. I can't use the solution I posted above; the mdkapplet isn't installed on my system. I suspect that's because I didn't install KDE or GNOME (it's a webserver, so no UI installed). So question - how do I add mandriva pwp medium from a command prompt without having mdkapplet installed. |
Yes, mdkapplet needs X, a gui.
The console command to use is urpmi.addmedia. See Code:
man urpmi.addmedia On the machine where you have the gui, do, as root, for example: Code:
[root@localhost Pan]# urpmq --list-url This is on a 64-bit installation, which adds both architectures. For i586, you just need the 32-bit repos. From the manual: Code:
SYNOPSIS So, for example, Code:
urpmi.addmedia restricted https://user%40myisp.com:xxx@dl.mandriva.com/rpm/comm/2010.0/i586 |
