[Mageia-dev] DVD install feedback for mga3 beta 1

Mon Dec 31 20:38:04 CET 2012

Hi there,
+I have just installed mga3 beta1 on a brand new machine for my folks and 
+everything went fantastically fine in a first try. Congrats.
+
+So I decided to test other options and managed to end up in an infinite 
+loop that hung the installer. There how to do it:
+
+1) choose additional sources with http
+
+2) accept the default mirror chosen (which was in Germany). 
+Unfortunately that default mirror was very very slow
+
+3) Many packages got downloaded from that mirror with an estimated time 
+of 3-4 hours, so I clicked on "Annuler" (french install)
+
+4) The installer went on with only the DVD package but ended up being 
+frozen soon after.
+
+Playing with the CTRL+ALT+Fi, the do loop was due to pango packages 
+already installed from the network before the "annuler" and more recent 
+that the ones on the DVD.
+
+The log were incessantly showing:
+
+"Chosen pano-1.32.4... for pango
+more recent pango-1.32.5... is installed
+but does not provide 1.32.4...
+Selecting pango 1.32.4...
+Unselecting pango 1.32.4..."
+
+and the same message repeted forever
+
+Hope it helps!
+
+Cheers,
+Chris
