Urpmi tells me there is a conflict between amarok-3:2.4.0.90-2.mga1 +and libampache_account-3:2.4.0-1mdv2010.2, and doesn't propose to uninstall +the later to resolve the conflict. +urpme libampache_account (and amarok with it), then urpmi amarok solved the +problem (as expected). +I don't know if this issue should be handled on mageia's side, or if MIB +should provide an updated package re-integrating libampache_account_login.so +into the main amarok package to provide a clean upgrade. +Looking at current cooker, they also provide libampache_account_login.so in +the main amarok package, so the problem might arise also when updgrading to +mdv2011. + +Looking at mdv packages still installed after the upgrade, I see +kbluetooth-0.4.2 is still there, which, I believe, is replaced by bluedevil +in KDE 4.6. Bluedevil is installed without conflicts, thanks to the name +change, but shouldn't it obsolete kbluetooth? + +Package plasma-applet-yawp did not upgrade to mga's version, as it is +version 0.3.6-1.1mdv2010.2 (also from MIB) and mageia's version is +0.3.6-1mga1, so urpmi think it is older. Not a big problem as the old +package works fine. + +Another strange case with webkit, official mandriva updates provide some +webkit 1.2.7 packages, while magiea has 1.2.5, so I end up with +# rpm -qa|sort|grep webkit +libggadget-webkitjs0-0.11.2-5.mga1 +libkdewebkit5-4.6.2-0.mga1 +libqtwebkit4-4.7.2-1.mga1 +libwebkitgtk1.0_2-1.2.7-0.1mdv2010.2 +python-qt4-webkit-4.8.3-2.mga1 +webkit1.0-1.2.7-0.1mdv2010.2 +webkit1.0-webinspector-1.2.7-0.1mdv2010.2 +webkit-1.2.7-0.1mdv2010.2 + +On the hardware support part, wifi is working fine (with non-free ipw2200 +firmware). +Firewire is also enabled, but I have nothing to connect to it. +Suspend to RAM works fine also. + +The intel graphics works (i810), but compositing is unusable, if I enable +kwin's desktop effects I get huge rendering problem with windows not +updating, still showing at their old position when moved, and so on. I guess +this is more a driver related problem and can't be fixed by mageia, but if +confirmed by someone else with the same hardware I guess it should be listed +in the release notes. With desktop effects disabled it is fully usable. +In mdv 2010.2, compositing was almost usable, but already with some +rendering glithes in plasma. + +I also had a strange problem when connecting one particular USB memory key +(sandisk cruzer 8BG), udisks-daemon and dbus-daemon started taking lots of +CPU (with many context switch wetween each other), disconnecting the key +actually made things worse and I had to disconnect from the desktop to have +it stop. +The strange thing is that two devices shows when that key is connected, the +expected 8GB mass storage, and an optical disk with label "U3 System" which +can't be mounted. I don't know what it is, but there is an "U3 smart" logo +on the key. +I don't have the problem on another computer with KDE 4.5.5 and udisks 1.0.1 + +that's all for now +-- +Renaud Michel +</PRE> + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="003931.html">[Mageia-dev] Importing vdr +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="003935.html">[Mageia-dev] openjdk and icedtea-web +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#3933">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#3933">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#3933">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#3933">[ 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> |
