Hello the team,

• OpenMandriva Lx version: ROME 25.03

• Desktop environment (KDE, LXQT…): KDE Plasma 6.3.3

• Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant):
  Hello everyone,

I’m starting with Open Mandriva and I’m trying to use dnfdrake to install software (I have no problem when I use OM Welcome). However, when launching dnfdrake, it fails to update the list of packages:

However, I have good Internet access, and I can install flatpaks via Discover.
For your information, here’s what I get when I click on Distro Sync :

Do you have any idea what the problem is ?

Thanks for your support !

Hi, Dnfdrake before downloading the list data runs a ping to verify the connection, it is possible that something goes wrong during the verification. Try to launch from terminal:

ping 8.8.8.8

if I remember correctly the address is that.
post the result and then I’ll see how to solve.

Seems like a problem with dnfdrake I don’t use this so someone else will have to step in and help. For now you can install packages from Konsole with

sudo dnf install pckage-name

you can search for pakages with dnf search search-word for steam for example

dnf search steam

if you’re having trouble finding the correct package names come back and we will help you.

Ok could you post the output of this other command:

ping -c1 -w1 8.8.8.8

Thanks for your cooperation.

I think I’ve found the problem, the corrective update will be coming soon.

P.S. If you can, post the command output anyway.

You’re welcome, thank you for helping me

Here’s the result :

If you can do a test with this preview.
dnfdrake-4.4.2-1-mib2590.noarch.rpm (354,9 KB)

Since the lists are not loaded, give the following from the terminal:

sudo dnf update /home/your_path_save/dnfdrake-4.4.2-1-mib2590.noarch.rpm

Thank you for your responsiveness !
I can confirm that it works on my machine too !

As far as I’m concerned, the subject can be closed.
I’ll be able to have fun with OM
