I already have Cauldron +running on a small partition, and the only problem there is the bug with +xscreensaver, which I can get around. I had decided that Cauldron was stable +enough to run as my principal system, for a home user who can resolve simple +things. My system is an AMD Sempron, put together by a dealer in April 2007. +I didn't want to download everything, because I nearly exceeded my allocation +last month. I first did an upgrade from the Beta 2 DVD, then updated from the +online repos, to get around the rpmdrake bug and the old one about hal. + +My experience was the opposite of yours, Dave. Putting in the Beta2 DVD and +telling it to upgrade Release 1 produced 2 or 3 conflicts in packages, so I did +a fresh install from the Beta2 DVD. There were two bad bugs. + +1. Sound was enabled everywhere, but nothing heard. Online, I read that I +should enable sound in MCC, but it seemed OK there, and:- + +2. The bug about system settings in MCC appearing frozen was very evident, and +I can't work out its present status. + +I hadn't run kmail on my test system. It wouldn't upgrade to the new version +in Cauldron without errors, and insisted that I store my password in KWallet, +or I would have to type it every time (That will be an upstream issue.) I am +trying to move to Claws-mail, so I uninstalled Kmail, but it was still asking +me for the password, even when it wasn't there. + +So I restored my Mageia 1 system. Everything worked, but the KDE panel was a +mess. I tried deleting files or the entire .kde4 directory, or creating a new +user with default settings, but the result was little better. In the end, I +deleted the panel and installed KDE's default panel, then changed that back to +what I had. I am just waiting until I can ditch KDE, but Xcfe has its own +bugs. + +Doug. +</PRE> + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="006882.html">[Mageia-discuss] Mageia Xen Images +</A></li> + + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#6878">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#6878">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#6878">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#6878">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
