[Mageia-discuss] Upgrade from mga1 to mga2 from desktop

Thu May 24 14:09:21 CEST 2012

Hi all,
+
+yesterday, as expected, I got on my desktop the notification that a new
+release was available. When I launched the upgrade, a window opened with
+two checkboxes: one for downloading all the packages before starting to
+install them, and one for something else which I don't remember right now.
+
+I checked none, but I guess I should have checked the "download first" one.
+Never mind about this.
+
+As it was late, and it was going to be a long task, I went to sleep hoping
+to find my system upgraded in the morning. In the morning I found a small
+window saying that the installation of 2 packages had failed and buttons to
+abort or continue. I clicked on continue and the task went on. That window
+blocked the whole installation during most of the night.
+
+Now I'm at work hoping to find my system upgraded at the end of the day,
+but I'm afraid that the window waiting for an answer pops up again and
+blocks my upgrade.
+
+So I wonder if it would be possible to avoid this situation for the next
+mayor release (Mageia 3). I can imagine that the initial window could have
+a third checkbox that users could check to tell the applet (or urpmi, I
+don't know which handles this) to continue on errors (just as it they had
+pressed the Continue button) and show a list of errors at the end; but
+other solutions might also work.
+
+Well, this is my proposition. What do you people think about it?
+
+
+Alejandro.
