Then, though, the "GNOME/openbox" session doesn't work, +probably because GNOME isn't really available in the 700MB ISO (there +is no "task-gnome" in the available packages). + +So I start LXDE instead, try to start the package manager (hoping to +add online mirrors for extra packages) and find that it isn't installed. +I then try to install rpmdrake using urpmi and it fails because of +lib64webgtk1.0 ("due to unsatisfied webkit 1.0"). + +So, it seems the 700MB ISO isn't really usable except if you want to +restrict yourself to testing LXDE and Firefox (or are willing to +configure extra sources by hand on the command-line). + +Regards + +Antoine. + + + +On Tue, 15 Mar 2011 19:12:18 +0200 +Ahmad Samir <<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">ahmadsamir3891 at gmail.com</A>> +wrote: +><i> +</I>><i> Two different issues... +</I>><i> - the drak3d issue, make sure you select a DE from the session list in +</I>><i> the display manager used (assuming you installed a DE, KDE4, GNOME, +</I>><i> LXDE) while installing Mageia +</I>><i> +</I>><i> - Alpha 2 comes with vbox-4.0.4 guest-additions, this mightn't work +</I>><i> with a 3.x vbox host, but first of all, there're no pre-compiled +</I>><i> kernel modules in Mageia yet, so make sure the -devel package for the +</I>><i> running kernel is installed then reboot so that dkms tries to build +</I>><i> the vbox additions kernel modules, (you can check the status with +</I>><i> 'dkms status' as root). +</I>><i> +</I>><i> +</I>><i> - If the modules are built and it still doesn't work, then the easy +</I>><i> workaround is to uninstall all the vbox package from the guest: +</I>><i> dkms-vboxadditions +</I>><i> x11-driver-input-vboxmouse +</I>><i> x11-driver-video-vboxvideo +</I>><i> virtualbox-guest-additions +</I>><i> +</I>><i> then while the guest vm is running: +</I>><i> - select Device> "Install guest additions" +</I>><i> - download the iso, mount it in the vm +</I>><i> - switch to tty1 in the vm (by pressing the Host key + F1) +</I>><i> - mount the iso: +</I>><i> # mount -t iso9660 -o loop /media/cdrom +</I>><i> - Install the additions: +</I>><i> # cd /media/cdrom +</I>><i> # ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run +</I>><i> if you're installed the i586 edition of Mageia +</I>><i> +</I>><i> OR +</I>><i> ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run +</I>><i> if you're installed the x86_64 edition of Mageia. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Hope this works... +</I>><i> +</I>><i> -- +</I>><i> Ahmad Samir +</I>><i> +</I> + +</PRE> + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="003986.html">[Mageia-discuss] Alpha 2 with VirtualBox 3.2.12 +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="003988.html">[Mageia-discuss] Alpha 2 with the 700MB dual ISO +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#3987">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#3987">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#3987">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#3987">[ 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> |
