Public Service Announcement: NOKEY errors follow-up
Following up the previous post on this topic, the issue with missing pubkey files leading to NOKEY errors is now resolved on the majority of mirror servers. The following servers from the list used by the Mandriva tools have been tested and found to be GOOD:

The following servers have been tested and found to be BAD:

ftp://ftp.rhnet.is/pub/Mandrakelinux/official/2008.0

ftp://ftp.nara.wide.ad.jp/pub/Linux/Mandrakelinux/official/2008.0
The following servers could not be tested as they were full:
ftp://ftp.u-strasbg.fr/pub/linux/distributions/Mandriva/official/2008.0
ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrakelinux/official/2008.0
If you are using one of the servers listed as GOOD, you may be able to resolve the problem by running this command:
urpmi.update --force-key
If you are using one of the servers listed as BAD, or if the --force-key command does not work to resolve the problem, you can resolve the problem by removing your repositories and re-adding them using one of the servers listed as GOOD.
Tomorrow we will test all servers again, and remove those that have still not properly synchronized the fix from the official server list.
Again, we apologize for any inconvenience caused by this issue.

I’m an average Windows user. I just tried Mandriva Linux and found it easy to use. However, India (1,129.9 million/15%+ of world’s population) does not seem to exist in Mandriva’s world, no locale, no language support.

Hello. I come from windows and I have no linux experience. I have donwloaded mandriva 2008 and when I try to install a printer It appears a message “can not install cups server” or something like that. I think this is a big mistake, because I have seen a lot of people in internet that have the same problem, so I can’t understand how can it be possible to have this problem in a new distro, in windows you don’t have this kind of problems, to install a simply printer you don’t have to lose days and days triying to find the solution to a problem that should not exist. At the end I had to return to windows; I can not imagine how it would be to install a scanner or a wireless card. Have a nice day and more.
SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH.
Joan.
