User and Superuser Management +

+
+
+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
+
+
+
+

Set Administrator (root) + Password: +

+
+
+
+ + + +

It is advisable for all Mageia + installations to set a superuser or administrator's password, usually + called the root password in Linux. As you type a + password into the top box the colour of its shield will change from red to + yellow to green depending on the strength of the password. A green shield + shows you are using a strong password. You need to repeat the same + password in the box just below the first password box, this checks that + you have not mistyped the first password by comparing them. +

+ + +
+ + + + + + + + +
[Note]Note +
+ +

All passwords are case sensitive, it is best to use a mixture of + letters (upper and lower case), numbers and other characters in a + password. +

+ +
+
+ +
+ + +
+
+
+
+

Enter a user +

+
+
+
+ + + +

Add a user here. A user has fewer rights than the superuser (root), + but enough to surf the internet, use office applications or play games and + anything else the average user does with his computer +

+ + +
+
    +
  • + +

    Icon: if you click on this button it will + change the users icon. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    Real Name: Insert the users real name into + this text box. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    Login Name: Here you enter the user login + name or let drakx use a version of the users real name. The + login name is case sensitive.

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    Password: In this text box you should type + in the user password. There is a shield at the end of the text box + that indicates the strength of the password. (See also Note) +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    Password (again): Retype the user password + into this text box and drakx will check you have the same password in + each of the user password text boxes. +

    + +
    • +
+
+ +
+ + +
+
+
+
+

Advanced User Management +

+
+
+
+ + + +

If the advanced button is clicked you are + offered a screen that allows you to edit the settings for the user you are + adding. Additionally, you can disable or enable a guest account. +

+ + +
+ + + + + + + + +
[Warning]Warning
+ +

Anything a guest with a default rbash guest + account saves to his /home directory will be erased when he logs out. + The guest should save his important files to a USB key. +

+ +
+
+ + +
+
    +
  • + +

    Enable guest account: Here you can enable + or disable a guest account. The guest account allows a guest to log + into and use the PC, but he has more restricted access than normal + users. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    Shell: This drop down list allows you to + change the shell used by the user you are adding in the previous + screen, options are Bash, Dash and Sh +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    User ID: Here you can set the user ID for + the user you are adding in the previous screen. This is a number. + Leave it blank unless you know what you are doing. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    Group ID: This lets you set the group ID. + Also a number, usually the same one as for the user. Leave it blank + unless you know what you are doing. +

Here you see the Linux partitions that have been found on your + computer. If you don't agree with the DrakX + suggestions, you can change the mount points. +

+ + +
+ + + + + + + + +
[Note]Note
+ +

If you change anything, make sure you still have a + / (root) partition. +

+ +
+
+ + +
+
    +
  • + +

    Every partition is shown as follows: "Device" ("Capacity", "Mount + point", "Type"). +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    "Device", is made up of: "hard drive", ["hard drive + number"(letter)], "partition number" (for example, "sda5"). +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    If you have many partitions, you can choose many different mount + points from the drop down menu, such as /, + /home and /var. You can even make + your own mount points, for instance /video for a + partition where you want to store your films, or + /cauldron-home for the /home + partition of a cauldron install. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    For partitions you don't need to have access to, you can leave the + mount point field blank. +

    + +

+
+ + +
+ + + + + + + + +
[Warning]Warning
+ +

Choose Previous if you are not sure what to + choose, and then tick Custom disk partitioning. In + the screen that follows, you can click on a partition to see its type + and size. +

+ +
+

If you are sure the mount points are correct, click on + Next, and choose whether you only want to format the + partition(s) DrakX suggests, or more. +

Choosing packages to be + installed +

+
+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Depending on your selections here, you may + be offered further screens to fine tune your choices. +

+ + +
+
+
+
+

Desktop Selection +

+
+
+
+ + + +

Choose whether you prefer to use the KDE + or Gnome desktop environment. Both come with a + full set of useful applications and tools. Tick + Custom if you want to use either or both, or if you + want something other than the default software choices for these desktop + environments. The LXDE desktop is lighter than the previous two, sporting + less eye candy and fewer packages installed by default. +

+ +
+ + +
+
+
+
+

Package Group Selection +

+
+
+
+ + + +

Packages have been sorted into groups, to make choosing what you + need on your system a lot easier. The groups are fairly self explanatory, + however more information about the content of each is available in + tool-tips which become visible as the mouse is hovered over them. +

Minimal Install +

+
+
+
+ + + +

You can choose a Minimal Installation by de-selecting everything in + the Package Group Selection screen. Minimal Installation is intended for + those with specific uses in mind for their Mageia, such as a server or a + specialised workstation. You will probably use this option combined with + Manual Package Selection. If you choose this installation class, then the + next screen will offer you a few useful extras to install, such as + documentation and X. +

+ +
+ + +
+
+
+
+

Choose individual + packages +

+
+
+
+ + + +

Here you can add any extra packages to customise your + installation. +

+ + +

After having made your choice, you can click on the + floppy icon at the bottom of the page to save your + choice of packages (saving to a USB key works, too). You can then use this + file to install the same packages on another system, by pressing the same + button during install and choosing to load it. +

Adjust the layout of your disk(s) here. You can remove or create partitions, change the filesystem of a partition or change + its size and even view what is in them before you start. + +

+ + +

Push Clear all to wipe all partitions on the selected storage device +

For all other actions: click on the desired partition first. Then view it, or choose a filesystem and a mount point, resize + it or wipe it. +

Continue until you adjusted everything to your wishes. +

In this screen you can see + the content of your hard drive(s) and see the solutions the DrakX + partitioning wizard found for where to install + Mageia. +

+ + +

The options available from the list below will vary + depending on your particular hard drive(s) layout and content. +

+ + + + +

+
+
    +
  • + +

    Use Existing Partitions +

    + + +

    If this option is available, then existing Linux compatible + partitions have been found and may be used for the + installation. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    Use Free Space +

    + + +

    If you have unused space on your hard drive then this option + will use it for your new Mageia installation. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    Use Free Space on a Windows Partition +

    + + +

    If you have unused space on an existing Windows partition, the + installer may offer to use it. +

    + + +

    This can be a useful way of making room for your new Mageia + installation, but is a risky operation and should be a last resort! +

    + + +

    Note that this involves shrinking the size of the Windows + partition, which is not without some risk. The partition must be + "clean", meaning that Windows must have closed down correctly the last + time it was used. It must also have been defragmented, although this is not a guarantee that all files in the partition + have been moved out of the area that is about to be used. You should check this carefully before proceeding. +

    + +
    • +
+
+
+
    +
  • + +

    Erase and use Entire Disk. +

    + + +

    This option will use the complete drive for Mageia. +

    + + +

    Note! This will erase ALL data on the selected hard drive. Take + care! +

    + + +

    If you intend to use part of the disk for something else, or you + already have data on the drive that you are not prepared to lose, then + do not use this option. +

    + +
    • +
+
+
+
    +
  • + +

    Custom +

    + + +

    This gives you complete control over the placing of the + installation on your hard drive(s). +

Whether you are new to GNU-Linux or an experienced user, the Mageia + installer is designed to help make your installation or upgrade as easy as + possible. +

+ + + + +

The initial menu screen has various options, however the default one + will start the installer, which will normally be all that you will + need. +

If there are problems during install, then it may be necessary to use + special installation options, see the section called “Installation options”. +

+ + +
+
+
+
+

The installation steps +

+
+
+
+ + + +

The install process is divided into [a series] of steps, which can + be followed on the side panel of the screen. +

+ + +

Each step has one or more screens which may also have + Advanced buttons with extra, less commonly + required, options. +

+ + +

Most screens have help buttons which give + further explanations about the current step. +

Installation options +

+
+
+
+ + + +

If the installation fails then it may be necessary to try again by + using one of the extra options available by hitting the F1 key (Help) see + Figure 1, “Very First Installation Welcome + Screen”

+ + +

This will open the following text based help.

No graphical interface +
+
+
+
+ + + +
+
    +
  • + +

    After the initial screen you did not reach the language + selection screen. This can happen with some graphic cards and + older systems. Try using low resolution by typing "vgalo" at the + prompt. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    If the hardware is very old, a graphical installation may be + impossible. In this case it is worth trying a text mode + installation. To use this, type text at the prompt. + Note: this mode may not work in Mageia + 2.

+
Install freezes +
+
+
+
+ + + +

If the system appears to freeze during the installation, this + may be a problem with hardware detection. In this case the automatic + detection of hardware may be bypassed and dealt with later. To try + this, type "noauto" at the prompt. This option may also be combined + with the previous options if necessary. +

+ +
+ + +
+
+
+
+
Kernel options +
+
+
+
+ + + +

These will rarely be needed, but in some cases the hardware may + report the available RAM incorrectly. To specify this manually, you + can use the mem=xxxM parameter, where xxx is the correct amount of + RAM. e.g. "mem=256M" would specify 256MB of RAM. +

+

Using the Mageia + bootloader +

+
+
+
+ + + +

By default Mageia + writes a new GRUB bootloader into the MBR (Master Boot Record) of your + first hard drive. If you already have other operating systems installed, + Mageia attempts to add them to your new Mageia boot menu. +

+ + +

This works + correctly in the majority of cases for Linux and + Windows® + systems. +

+ + +
+ + + + + + + + +
[Warning]Warning
+ +

Linux systems + which use the GRUB2 bootloader (e.g. more recent Debian/Ubuntu + derivatives) are not currently supported and will not be recognised. One + possible solution for this is to follow the steps explained here the section called “Adding a GRUB2 based system + manually” before installing Mageia next to such a + system, however there is no guarantee. +

+ + +

If you are + already installing Mageia without having taken those steps, (and do not + already know the GRUB2 version and/or it's root partition) then install + the Mageia bootloader in the root partition for now (see next section), + and inspect your GRUB2 based system after rebooting at the end of the + installation. Note that you will not yet be able to boot Mageia, however + you will be able to use the Mageia install DVD to perform a quick + "upgrade install" at a later date to correctly install the bootloader to + the MBR. +

+ +
+
+ +
+ + +
+
+
+
+

Using an + existing bootloader +

+
+
+
+ + + +

If you decide to + use an existing bootloader then you will need to remember to STOP at the + summary page during the installation and click the Bootloader + Configure button, which will allow you to change + the bootloader install location. +

+ + +

Do not select a + device e.g."sda", or you will overwrite your existing MBR. You must select + the root partition that you chose during the partitioning phase earlier + e.g. sda7. +

+ + +

To be clear, sda + is a device, sda7 is a partition. +

+ + +
+ + + + + + + + +
[Tip]Tip
+ +

Go to tty2 + with Ctrl+Alt+F2 and type df to check where your + / (root) partition is. Ctrl+Alt+F7 takes you back to + the installer screen. +

+ +
+
+ + +

The exact + procedure for adding your Mageia system to an existing bootloader is + beyond the scope of this help, however in most cases it will involve + running the relevant bootloader installation program which should detect + and add it automatically. See the documentation for the operating system + in question. +

+ +
+ + +
+
+
+
+

Bootloader + advanced option +

+
+
+
+ + + +

If you have very + limited disk space for the / partition that contains + /tmp, click on Advanced and + check the box for Clean /tmp at each boot. This helps + to maintain some free space. +

+
+

Adding a GRUB2 based system + manually +

+
+
+
+ + + +

A GRUB2 based system + may be added to the Mageia boot menu as follows: +

+ + +
+
    +
  • + +

    Boot into the + system in question. In order to determine the GRUB2 version run the + following command in a terminal: +

    + + +

    sudo + grub-install --version

    + + +

    or if that + fails try: +

    + + +

    sudo + grub2-install --version

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    If this returns + "GNU GRUB version 0.97" (possibly with a custom suffix), then it is + using GRUB (otherwise called GRUB legacy) not GRUB2 and your system + should be correctly identified by Mageia during installation and added + automatically to the menu. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    If this returns + (GRUB) 1.98 or 1.99 or 2.xx, then you are using GRUB2. +

    + + +

    Make a note of + the version and enter this command to identify the root + partition: +

    + + +

    df -h + / |(read; awk '{print $1; exit}')

    + + +

    This will + output something like : +

    + + + + +

    /dev/sdb11

    + + +

    sdb11 is the + root partition - make a note of it. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    Now check that + the /boot folder is in the same partition by entering the following + command: +

    + + +

    df -h + /boot |(read; awk '{print $1; exit}')

    + + + + +

    If the /boot + partition is different to the root partition then make a note and use + the /boot partition in the "root" line when editing menu.lst + below. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    You can now + shut down the system and install Mageia. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    In your new + running Mageia system, open a terminal and as root edit the file + /boot/grub/menu.lst as follows: +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    To become root + use: +

    + + +

    su + -

    + + +

    (enter root + password) +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    To open the + file in an editor use: +

    + + +

    kwrite + /boot/grub/menu.lst

    + + +

    (replace + "kwrite" with "gedit" if you are using Gnome) +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    Add the + following entry for your (e.g. Ubuntu) system, possibly as the second + stanza. The position the item appears in the menu will depend on its + position in the file: +

    + + +

    title + Ubuntu

    + + +

    root + (hd1,10)

    + + +

    kernel + /boot/grub/core.img

    + +
    • +
  • + +
    + + + + + + + + +
    [Note]Note
    + +

    In the second + line, "hd1" means the second hard drive, the "10" indicates the 11th + partition. Drives and partitions in Mageia's legacy GRUB count from + zero. +

    + + +

    Therefore: +

    + + +

    sdb11 = + (hd1,10)

    + + +

    sda1 + = (hd0,0)

    + +
    +
    + +
    • +
  • + +

    If the GRUB2 + version is 2.xx then change the last line to : +

    + + +

    kernel + /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img

    + + +

    If you needed + to use "grub2-install" earlier then change "grub" + to "grub2" in the last line. +

    + + +

    If /boot was + on a separate partition, then remove "/boot" from + the last line. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    Save the file + and re-boot. You should now see your "Ubuntu" entry in the menu and be + able to boot from it. +

    + +
    • +
+
+ +
+ + +
+
+
+
+

Using an + existing GRUB2 bootloader +

+
+
+
+ + + +

If you didn't read + the general part about using an existing bootloader yet, do so now. See + the section called “Using an + existing bootloader”

+ + +
+ + + + + + + + +
[Note]Note
+ +

There is a known + bug in OS-prober used during GRUB2 installation in some older versions + of Debian/Ubuntu that incorrectly creates grub.cfg when adding Mageia + (or Mandriva) systems. This is simple to work around and details of a + fix can be found in the Mageia forum here: + https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?p=13547#p13547 +

+ + +

To make the fix + permanent so that it will survive an Ubuntu kernel update, the Mageia + entry should be added to /etc/grub.d/40_custom
