Mandriva Oops?

I've been so happy with Mandriva 2010, and this little oops doesn't ruin it, but it does make me scratch my head.

This is a fresh install of 2010 and the update applet has been working flawlessly until this morning. This morning I got up to a blue icon with a down pointing arrow. This was new. So I clicked it to find this:

Clicking the "more info" bar takes me to the 2009.1 Tour.

I think I'll pass! Big Grin

oops

Submitted by peispud on Saturday 7th of November 2009 03:39:34 PM.

I'm running 2010 updated from a beta build and have had this for a little while now. Do you know if there is a fix ? I also noticed early on ( and corrected the problem ) that both 32 and 64 bit repos were enabled by default. With these two exceptions, Mandriva is the best release this year by far. I should mention that the update from beta was perfectly flawless, something not always easy to do.

Well, I was searching around cuz mine actually was worse than just wanting to update to 2009.1. urpmi and rpmdrake quit working, more or less - it couldn't download anything, kept errorring out.

So, found a thread or two on the forums and they stated that the erroneous live update could be because cooker became unfrozen and it'd straighten itself out or perhaps had to do with manually added repos.

The latter I was guilty of. The suggested fix was to delete all repo sources and let rpmdrake media manager reconfigure new ones.

While that worked for installing new software, I'm not sure where I am on the update applet. I logged out and back in and the update applet ain't come back. So, I'll wait a while (til next check time I guess) to see how that shakes out.

So, I guess long story short, in answer to your question, um, no, not really. Tongue

Update: I guess the fact that it's not trying to update me to 2009.1 means that fixed it. I'll know for sure if the applet is still working when some new updates are released.

repos

I always use easyurpmi ( http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ ) to add or remove Mandriva repos and then just do a quick check with the media manager to delete any I don't need . On the plus side it's a quick reinstall, providing you have a seperate /home partition Smile

Haven't gotten that...

I installed the 64bit Free version, and I haven't gotten that notification... Anyway, this release is absolutely impressive! Mandy's back in a big way!!! Now we have to spread the word...

I'd wait

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
