[Mageia-discuss] One Beta more install story

Sun Feb 26 13:01:15 CET 2012

I have now had the udisks problem also on a system into which I had booted.
+
+The problem might be due to bugzilla #145 (urpmi fails to mount a DVD 
+medium). Quite an old one, had been solved during the last weeks of 
+Alpha, is now back in Beta. Workaround: manually create the mount point 
+(/media/cdrom on my system) BEFORE lauching urpmi.
+
+The coming and going of the bug might have contributed to the confusion 
+on whether the udisks problem is still there or not. My (eroneous) 
+experience that the problem does not exist when I boot into a Beta 1 OS 
+partition can be explained by the fact that, after such a boot, I 
+normally fetch packages from the dvd and always had created that mount 
+point (and once it is created, it remains). I also managed to make a 
+system recover from the udisks problem by creating that mount point.
+
+I still and consistently have the problem when I chroot into a system 
+(it might be that mounting dvds / launching udisks is handled there 
+differently)
