Lector de Feeds

As you can see, our blogs are still up and running.

However, the servers hosting most of the rest of our infrastructure, like the forums, wiki and bugzilla, are not.

I assume we are under attack from bots again, but that needs to be confirmed by one of our sysadmins.

Anyway, the issue is known, we will try to update this message as soon as we know more.

1st update : a switch in the datacenter is broken, it should be replaced. A new one is on its way to Marseille. (2025-09-18, at 9:45 CEST)

2nd update: The outage is still ongoing, but we have set up a replica of the mirror list so that updates and new installations are no longer blocked (2025-09-24, at 8:00 CEST).

3rd update: After the mirrorlist replication, www.mageia.org was redirected to blog.mageia.org. (2025-09-24, 08.49 CEST)

4th update: Unfortunately, it appears that users using DNF instead of URPMI (the legacy tool in Mageia for updates) still cannot use the mirrorlist. The reason is, that DNF uses a different mirrorlist, created for downloading ISOs. That mirrorlist has not been replicated. As a workaround you can, in a terminal/konsole as root:

cp -a /etc/yum.repos.d/ /etc/yum.repos.d_original/ cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ sed -i 's/^mirrorlist/#mirrorlist/' * sed -i 's/#baseurl/baseurl/' *

Doing that will set https://mirrors.kernel.org as your fixed mirror, so that you can install packages again. (2025-09-24 15:57 CEST) (Edit: add the forgotten -i switch to sed, 16:20 CEST)

5th update: We were notified that the issue at the datacenter will be fixed ultimately tomorrow (2025-09-25 11:50 CEST) (Edit: put the code above in a code block instead of in a list, 13:31CEST)

6th update: We received no update from the datacenter, but we are sure there is a good reason for that. Note that they have always hosted us for free (2025-09-27 10:50 CEST).

7th update: There was certainly a good reason, they had not yet received the switch. They now expect to receive it today (2025-09-30 12:53 CEST).

8th update: According to the datacenter people, the ordered switch is now expected to arrive at the datacenter tomorrow. It will be then installed and we hope to recover the servers back to normal Monday or Tuesday at the latest (2025-10-02 16:00 CEST).

9th update: the router has been delivered in the DC and the old one replaced, last week someone went in the DC to cable stuff, but there seems to be an issue with fibers now, so our servers are still not reachable. We have not yet information on when the next operation is scheduled in
order to fix that remaining issue (2025-10-07 9:00 CEST).

10th update: The servers are back! (2025-10-07 15:00 CEST)

The Capitole du Libre is one of the biggest events in France’s free software community. It will take place on November 15 and 16. Registration is required, but admission is free. Many representatives of the free software community will be in attendance.

The Capitole du Libre also features:

• Conferences…
• Workshops
• Round table discussions
• Lan Parties (network gaming)

There will also be food trucks for foodies and an association village.

Our friend Dtux has reserved a spot for Mageia to be represented at this major event. If you are a Mageia user or just curious, feel free to come and visit our booth.

For those who are more motivated, if you feel like it, you can come and lend a hand with:

• Carrying, setting up and removing equipment
• Relieving the volunteers at our booth

We hope to meet you there to discuss Mageia and free software!!

In Mageia/cauldron/i586: A program to convert images from PPM format into the control language for the Alps Micro-Dry printers, at various times sold by Citizen, Alps and Okidata. This program drives the Alps Micro-Dry series of printers, including the Citizen Printiva series, Alps MD series, and Oki DP series (but not yet the DP-7000). In the current release, the program drives the standard mode fairly well; the dye sublimation mode very well; and the VPhoto mode reasonably well. It supports all the colours available up to the DP-5000, including the foil colours.
