MIB - Mandriva International Backports

For me nvidia 304.37 driver won't install because of a dependency: # urpmi -v --auto-select getting lock on urpmi examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/main/synthesis.hdlist.cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/main updates/synthesis.hdlist.cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/con...

urpmi and drakrpm are crapy softwares. you must unactivate 32 bit packet sources. if you don't do this then urpmi and drakrpm install 64 bit soft with 32 bit parts !!! activate 32 bit packet source just during installation of a 32 bit soft which have not a 64 bit version then unactivate them. Thank...

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

Okay. Something to report. In a fresh install today of 2010.2 x86_64. Current KDE: # rpm -qa | grep task-kde4 task-kde4-minimal-4.4.3-1mdv2010.1 task-kde4-4.4.3-1mdv2010.1 1. Updated with official repos Main, Main Updates, Main32, Main32 Updates, Contrib, Contrib Updates, Non-Free, and Non-Free Upda...

What is the best sequence of procedures to take a fresh install of 2010.2 x86_64 and update it to 2010.3 including KDE 4.8.4? I've tried this twice and am screwing things up royally. Edit: What I'm trying to do is something I've done at least 20 times on various machines. Today for some reason I can...

Good to know. And thanks for your good work.

What I know is that in ROSA Marathon both versions of multimedia 3.5.4 work. In ROSA devel aka ROSA 2012.1, both versions of MM won't boot. Selecting either in grub menu restarts machine. And most unfortunately in Mandriva Cooker there are no new kernel versions other than kernel-linus whose purpose...

I very much appreciate your work with packaging including kernels for Rosa and Mandriva. Is there available some where a nvidia 295.59 for Rosa 2012lts and Mandriva 2010.x? In Rosa 2012lts I'm still at: # rpm -qa | grep nvidia dkms-nvidia-current-295.40-2-rosa.lts2012.0.x86_64 x11-driver-video-nvid...

Here's what happens when I try to install: Downloads # urpmi -v kernel-nrj-desktop-devel-3.4.6-1rosa.lts-1-1-rosa.lts2012.0.x86_64.rpm kernel-nrj-desktop-3.4.6-1rosa.lts-1-1-rosa.lts2012.0.x86_64.rpm ... getting exclusive lock on rpm Marking kernel-nrj-desktop-devel-3.4.6-1rosa.lts as manually insta...

For Rosa 2012lts: $ rpm -qa | grep nvidia dkms-nvidia-current-295.40-2-rosa.lts2012.0.x86_64 x11-driver-video-nvidia-current-295.40-2-rosa.lts2012.0.x86_64 nvidia-current-doc-html-295.40-2-rosa.lts2012.0.x86_64 $ rpm -qa | grep kernel kernel-firmware-extra-20120219-1-rosa.lts2012.0.noarch kernel-fir...

For some reason the 3.4.x kernels don't build nvidia module for me in 2010.2 or Rosa 2012lts. Here's current packages in 2010.2: $ rpm -qa | grep nvidia nvidia-current-doc-html-295.20-69.1mib2010.2 dkms-nvidia-current-295.20-69.1mib2010.2 x11-driver-video-nvidia-current-295.20-69.1mib2010.2 $ rpm -q...

Would be great if this package could be made available for Mandriva 2010 and 2011 as well...
