(VM has 1cpu + 512 MB RAM) + +- after about 10% i see an error message: +i tried to take screenshots of everything... but there was alot. + +* it started with conflicts of /usr/share/doc/HTML/kcontrol/ that was moved +from kdebase to kderuntime or something +* alot of X needed by Y stuff: from perl-base, x11, python, imagemagick + +it seems to (ironically) be bug #404 . the upgrade seems to stop and just move +on to configuration... + +- the users step was skipped (seems normal) however, the item is still there? +- the bootloader step was done +- i don't know if it's a bug or not, but security level was marked as +"unconfigured" in the configuration step. +- i chose yes to updates +- during update the small font is still there (#67) +- it gave an error that "aria2 failed(exited with 127): unable to access +distribution medium (no media.cfg file found)" with a text below: "medium: ()" +(#426) +- it then proceeded to show the screen to reboot +- documentation asked to look on terminal to find out some stuff, but in my +vbox, pressing Function keys with alt didn't do anything, and ctrl-alt +switched me on the host, so i couldn't test that. + +so i rebooted. + +- rebooting showed me the old grub (text + graphic), but seemed to boot into +mageia, (even after selecting mandriva). +- black background in DM +- logging in to KDE gives "could not start kdeinit4. check your installation" +and a second window behind it, about changing names of folders. i was in a +daring mood and clicked update names. and after that on the "okay" button from +the kde error message. it got me back to kdm, so i clicked console login +- seeing tty, i noticed it still said Mandriva linux +- product.id + /etc/issue still unchanged +- urpmq --list-url showed me that the DVD was still listed as medium, so i did +the urpmi --auto-update +- "unable to access core media" but it continued with message: +- "some requested packages cannot be installed: dblatex, gtk-doc", i said yes +- "the following will be removed: " kmail, due to missing kio-* ; and some +others like mdkonline and some python stuff., i said yes +- then installing package step, 276 packages and 39MB will be freed., i said +yes. +- it said, please insert medium "core media" +- i ejected it in vbox and put it back in, that did the trick +- it tried to start and said i needed 86MB on / (out of disk space?) +- i removed tetex (it seemed to take 200M on /usr/share/texmf) with urpme and +it removed also 12 that depended on it dblatex and stuff +- i redid the autoupdate, and it asked again to insert medium core media, but +reinserting it didn't seem to work. also not inserting something else first. +- failing that, i removed the core media and set up urpmi sources from online +local media. alas it seemed aria2c didn't work due to libz and libxml versions +missing... +- specifying --wget option didn't help either, because my eth0 wasn't present, +but renamed to eth1, which didn't have a config, of course. +- after dhclient eth1 and shutting down firewall, and iptables service to +accept, that worked. +- it also showed the "2\n2" isn't numeric warning messages (#201) +- i also had to add --no-md5sum (due to md5sum check failed) +- i also got messages that it was unable to get pubkeys +- urpmi --auto-update --wget gave warnings but seemed to work, only 2 packages +were to be removed due to python < 2.7 +- after it ran, it seemd to be only related to urpmi update, and so it +restarted itself and asked me to remove libktorrent to proceed, i say yes +- it then said 300+ extra MB for 1700+ packages, i say yes +- it's halfway through installing atm, i'll go to sleep and tomorrow i'll +continue this. + + + +this was a cloned machine, so it can be retested at a later date. or in +different ways. + + +my conclusion: + - totally not ready for upgrade via DVD. + - DVD upgrade method seems very unstable to me and takes way too much time. + - I would propose to change the DVD upgrade method, that it just doesn't +upgrade at all, except it installs a mgaupdate applet on the mandriva, then +reboots into mandriva, but sort of does an applet-y upgrade there. +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="003409.html">[Mageia-dev] Chroot problem this evening +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="003443.html">[Mageia-dev] second impressions of mageia 1 alpha 2 (upgrade from MDV 2010 x86_64 PWP) +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#3411">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#3411">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#3411">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#3411">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
