+Hello,
+
+I'm trying to install Altera's Quartus v11 on 64-bit Mageia 1, but the
+install fails very quickly with the following error stored in the
+install log:
+
+ImportError: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2: symbol gzdirect, version
+ZLIB_1.2.2.3 not defined in file libz.so.1 with link time reference
+
+I think the problem is libxml2 because it's looking for a specific
+version of libz.so.1.  I found a couple of references a similar problem
+on the Internet, but the problem always seems to be libxml2 not
+supporting gzdirect.
+
+Also, I found a post in the Altera forums from a user of Mandriva having
+the same issue.  The Quartus install specifically states that it works
+with RedHat, Fedora and CentOS.
+
+There is an INSTALL.TXT file that lists some libraries that must be
+32-bit, but I seem to have all of them installed as 32-bit libraries.
+
+Has anyone gotten Quartus v11 working on Mageia?  I also need to get it
+working on a 32-bit machine.
+
+Do I need to compile libz and/or libxml2 from source?
+
+Thank you,
+
+Jeff

+
+Well, what I'm saying is that "top requirements" is not how I function,
+and I don't think it's how most users function either.
+
+I mean, I certainly want no crashes (who wants crashes in the middle
+of an editing session?) and I certainly want hardware support (otherwise
+how would I use my computer?), but I also want stability, good support,
+a nice community, a good choice of software, etc. I don't draw a
+hierarchy of these criteria: they are *all* important.
+
+This poll sounds like you might end up concluding "ok, our users value
+features over stability, so we're gonna make a crashy distro with many
+features". Surely you understand how unreasonable that is: even these
+users which said they values features will still get angry about the
+crashes.

[Mageia-discuss] Can't access floppy drive

+ TJ + andrewsfarm at gmail.com +
+ Sat Jan 28 21:56:54 CET 2012 +

+
+ +
A Gnome user brought this up on a.o.l.mageia and a.o.l.mandriva. The 
+issue, apparently, affects both distros. Both of us are using the 32-bit 
+Mageia 1. I can't speak for him, but here is my problem:
+
+I don't do it often at all, but what I'd like to be able to do is have 
+Dolphin detect when I put a floppy in the drive and add that to the 
+Places panel, just as it now does when I put a CD or DVD in one of those 
+drives. As it is now, when I put a floppy in the drive, nothing happens.
+
+lsmod shows that the floppy module is present. My fstab shows this for 
+the floppy:
+
+> /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto umask=0,users,iocharset=utf8,noauto,exec,flush 0 0
+
+I can't even seem to be able to mount it by hand. $ mount /media/floppy 
+appears to work. At least, the drive spins and the busy LED comes on for 
+a while, then goes off. But, nothing shows in /media/floppy, and if I 
+give the mount command again without unmounting the drive, it still works.
+
+But, $ mount /media/floppy; mount /media/floppy results in these error 
+messages:
+
+> mount: /dev/fd0 already mounted or /media/floppy busy
+> mount: according to mtab, /dev/fd0 is already mounted on /media/floppy
+
+But if I look at mtab, the floppy isn't there. And giving the mount 
+command again, on a separate line, produces no errors.
+
+It's as if the drive is mounted, then unmounted almost immediately. Or 
+as if the driver didn't allow enough time for the disk to be read before 
+deciding it couldn't be mounted.
+
+BTW, Windows XP, on the same hardware and with the same floppy, has no 
+problem with access. This is an old-style floppy drive, connected to the 
+motherboard. It is not usb.
+
+Any ideas?

+
+The issue is that they cannot be done all at the same time.
+
+You cannot have te latest hardware support and at the same time expect a
+crash free support of the same hardware, we unfortunately do not write
+bug free softwares at the first time.
+
+While I appreciate Wobo efforts to get meaningful numbers, I am rather
+doubtful about a few things. First, the choice of questions make me
+wonder, since my memories tell me that for doing such kind of polls, you
+first need to do preliminary research to find the options.
+There is for example various things like :
+"networking out of the box", and "good hardware recognition" that are
+the same.
+same for "latest software" vs "quick update".
+And LTS go hand to hand with "stable as top priority" ( since LTS mean
+the system do not change for a long time, and usually, once enough bugs
+are fixed, softwares are rather stable ).
+
+Not to mention that a poll may give incorrect expectation to people, and
+usually only measure a fraction of the users.
+
+And more importantly, it doesn't help us on the crucial thing ( IMHO ),
+how to expend the contributeurs pool.
+
+I think asking "where would you want to put efforts in the next year for
+Mageia" would allow us to better see what kind of priority we should
+have to grow the community. ( followed by discussions of "why don't you
+do it now" that would help finding potential weak spots in the system ).
+
+This or asking directly, "why don't you work on $FOO". Users will come
+when we have a great product ( ie, grow naturally up to a point ). And
+product will be great with enough contribution, hence the focus on that.

+Hi All,
+
+I'm new here (a couple months) but I registered on the forum so I could 
+vote. However I agree with Antoine in that there are quite a few more 
+than 3 of those choices that are "deal breakers". My reasons for coming 
+to Mageia weren't listed specifically, so I thought this might be an 
+appropriate time and place to tell you why I use Mageia.
+
+I'm a longtime Linux user (Redhat 6.2 was my first boxed set, but I 
+tried a few before that). Over those years I've used a handful of 
+distros and demoed a dozen others. I started with Redhat, then SUSE, 
+Mandrake, openSUSE, Fedora, and now Mageia. That may sound like I'm 
+fickle or hard to please, but as someone who manages a number of 
+desktops and servers I assure you there were solid reasons for each 
+switch. I'm not going to go OT with all the gory details of each change, 
+but I can sum it up in a couple points that I hope are more valuable to 
+the community that my vote on the forum.
+
+First, why I leave a distro: This is easy to describe but probably hard 
+to accomplish. Regressions. When something that worked in the last 
+release stops working in this one, that's a problem. If it's trivial to 
+fix, then it's a small issue. If it takes days to fix or can't be fixed 
+at all it's a deal breaker.
+
+Second, why I chose a distro: This is also easy to describe, but much 
+harder to accomplish. It needs to install cleanly. Minor things like 
+changing a checkbox during installation are no big deal. A failed 
+install or a barebones desktop with no/poor configuration tools is a big 
+deal. Also, I don't use any unusual or poorly supported software, so the 
+software that I use must be in an official repo and easy to install.
+
+Third, my humble suggestion: If I were to describe a dev/release policy 
+that was sure to make me happy it would be this:
+
+1) Zero regression policy - I know this isn't possible, but I think it 
+should be the highest priority.
+
+2) If there will be a known regression or deprecated feature, it should 
+be announced one release prior to being effective. This would give users 
+time to adjust, find other software, or find another distro if need be.
+
+3) Stable. With Linux I consider this a given, but it needs to be listed 
+so that it doesn't get ignored.
+
+4) Keep the community friendly and vibrant. I listed this as one of my 3 
+choices on the survey, not because it was a deal breaker, but because I 
+think it is the strongest feature of Mageia and it would be truly 
+unfortunate to lose it. This is the most respectful and friendly online 
+community I've come across and you should all be very proud of what 
+you've done in a short time. I wish my life were different and I could 
+contribute.
+
+Good Luck,
+Jeff

+I installed the updated kernel-server today. I was unable to get into 
+kde. The reboot took me to init 3. I tried startx and got errors. I had 
+to remove the kernel. This might be a good time to see if my graphics 
+card is supported. If I reinstall the kernel-server it will take me to 
+init 3. Can I use XFdrake at this point to install the proper nvidia 
+drivers? And then startx to go into kde?
