  • mirrors.cicku.me

    From Jim@2:250/1 to All on Sat Aug 8 15:41:00 2026
    I ran my usual update shell, and it pulled down rpms for
    nss, lib64nww3, and firefox but not from the usual source.


    The source was not a website I remember seeing before, and
    a check of the shells output on what it had done said it
    had failed to connect to a half-dozen or more usual sites
    it can pull from.

    Is mirrors.cicku.me a new mageia source ?

    There was a power outage about 3 hours ago, and things
    may have been scrambled when I restarted my computer.

    Any ideas before I start trying to deal with things
    I have not experienced for years and have forgotten ?

    Cheers!

    I don't know about 'new' but it is a mirror.

    After several hours, I tried again and all worked
    well for my workstation and laptop.

    It seems all is well.

    Thanks for information provided.

    This can all be unsettling.
    Today I decided to locate and check my MAG_9 install stick

    Then I recreated it to be sure
    The boot order in the motherboard bios was an education
    I's been so long I'd forgotten all of it
