Re: Monthly snapshot announcement
No problem, BTW, I added a zsync-snapshot.sh in Snapshot folder, hope that helps a bit to download the latest ISO.
1. Download the script
2. Make it executable
3. Run it with
Or:
In the last case it will try to find the latest MX*.iso in the folder and use that as a base (it might not be the most appropriate input file, so it's better to specify manually).
BTW if you use zsync you need to download only like 17% of the file so it's a considerable saving both in term of time and bandwidth (if you have limited or pay for it).
Tip: if you want to download different arch you can use 64bit as an input file for 32bit and the other way round, it still saves you 44% of the download.
1. Download the script
2. Make it executable
3. Run it with
Code: Select all
./zsync-snapshot.sh MX-17.1_August_x64.iso MX-17.1_July_x64.iso

Re: Monthly snapshot announcement
@Adrian,
I'm having a problem with the http://mxrepo.com/snapshots/MX-17.1_August_x64.
Starting in the following thread:
http://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php? ... 10#p458094
Recapitulation:
Gerson had a problem of not being able to update after install in Vbox.
He downloaded the above ISO, installed in Vbox, and was unable to update/upgrade.
Curious, I
1. downloaded the above http://mxrepo.com/snapshots/MX-17.1_August_x64.iso. md5 OK.
2. Copied to Easy2Boot stick (as I've done for the last 4 years with MX).
3. Installed to 16 GB Verbatim Stor&Go USB, rebooted, update gave error, as follows:
4. To rule out Easy2Boot, used MX Live USB Maker on 8 GB Lexar, installed anew to same 16 GB Verbatim Stor&Go USB (which has been working fine with MXLUM). Had same error again with the newly installed version.
5. There may be a problem with the mirror at http://mirror.upb.edu.co.
I know that I was unable to change the mirror with MX Repo Manager.
I'll try again when I have more time to change out the sources.list.
Would like to see somebody else try installing direct to HDD to see if it is only a problem in Vbox and USB.

Re: Monthly snapshot announcement
Seems like a wrong repo that came from an antiX repo localization package, thanks for the report, we'll fix it. It's not a problem with the snapshot, it's a problem with the package. Actually it's good we do these snapshots because we can catch this kind of issues.
On the second issue, why is mx-repo-manager not able to change the repo? What happens when you try to change it?

Re: Monthly snapshot announcement
the isos are on that mirror, but not the repo.
that appears to be the only one not working.

Re: Monthly snapshot announcement
This is /media/root/MX171AUG64/etc/apt/sources.list.d/antix.list:
and this is from my current MX171 install:
going to copy my current into any changed *.list files and then see if it will update/upgrade.
Thanks.
CORRECTION:
antix.list is NOT the only one affected. Also mx.list.
Both must be replaced by files from a current, MX-17.1 works, install.
Code: Select all
# Use with Debian Stable/stretch repositories. Set as default for antiX-17. Note new repos
deb http://mirror.upb.edu.co/mx-workspace/antix/stretch stretch main

CORRECTION:
Both
antix.list and mx.list
Must be changed.
MX looked correct but would not
update until both changed.
Don't know if this actually fixed it;
or, if you fixed the mirror?
But, now, logged in and posting from the USB install.

@Adrian,
Can I confirm to the OP that the repo problem has been corrected?Seems like a wrong repo that came from an antiX repo localization package, thanks for the report, we'll fix it. It's not a problem with the snapshot, it's a problem with the package. Actually it's good we do these snapshots because we can catch this kind of issues.

Re: Monthly snapshot announcement
Not yet. I emailed the Columbia mirror operator but I have not heard back.
The solution is to change the mx repo to a different mirror. IF we.don't hear from the mirror operator soon we will remove it from the list that's used for automatic section of mirror during first boot.
