><i> Hello,
</I>><i>
</I>><i> first i noticed that 64bit iso is 3.8GB, while 32bit is more than 4GB.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> upgrading mdv 2010.1 x86_64 PWP with mageia 1 alpha 2 x86_64 DVD:
</I>><i>
</I>><i> - i noticed that the delay in text is still there during boot from DVD(#61)
</I>><i> - in installer, i noticed that some of the blue rounding is gone now(#62)
</I>><i> - ( what shall we do with #66 ? low priority? not valid? discuss more? )
</I>><i> - I chose upgrade, and it almost immediately started upgrading.
</I>><i> - I absolutely love the artwork during install: 1.5 thumbs up!
</I>><i> - upgrade did tell me it would take more than 1hour, after a while it told
</I>><i> me it would be more than 4 hours
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I remember from earlier mdv upgrades that upgrade from DVD always took a
</I>><i> huge amount of time, so i haven't tried it since it was mandrake... at
</I>><i> later times, i upgraded using urpmi sources and even later just by the
</I>><i> applet. or sometimes did a fresh install.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> i noticed on my vbox3 that the disk and DVD gave 1sec activity and then
</I>><i> 2sec nothing... so i suppose this could be more a CPU issue rather than a
</I>><i> disk issue... (VM has 1cpu + 512 MB RAM)
</I>><i>
</I>><i> - after about 10% i see an error message:
</I>><i> i tried to take screenshots of everything... but there was alot.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> * it started with conflicts of /usr/share/doc/HTML/kcontrol/ that was moved
</I>><i> from kdebase to kderuntime or something
</I>><i> * alot of X needed by Y stuff: from perl-base, x11, python, imagemagick
</I>><i>
</I>><i> it seems to (ironically) be bug #404 . the upgrade seems to stop and just
</I>><i> move on to configuration...
</I>><i>
</I>><i> - the users step was skipped (seems normal) however, the item is still
</I>><i> there? - the bootloader step was done
</I>><i> - i don't know if it's a bug or not, but security level was marked as
</I>><i> "unconfigured" in the configuration step.
</I>><i> - i chose yes to updates
</I>><i> - during update the small font is still there (#67)
</I>><i> - it gave an error that "aria2 failed(exited with 127): unable to access
</I>><i> distribution medium (no media.cfg file found)" with a text below: "medium:
</I>><i> ()" (#426)
</I>><i> - it then proceeded to show the screen to reboot
</I>><i> - documentation asked to look on terminal to find out some stuff, but in my
</I>><i> vbox, pressing Function keys with alt didn't do anything, and ctrl-alt
</I>><i> switched me on the host, so i couldn't test that.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> so i rebooted.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> - rebooting showed me the old grub (text + graphic), but seemed to boot
</I>><i> into mageia, (even after selecting mandriva).
</I>><i> - black background in DM
</I>><i> - logging in to KDE gives "could not start kdeinit4. check your
</I>><i> installation" and a second window behind it, about changing names of
</I>><i> folders. i was in a daring mood and clicked update names. and after that
</I>><i> on the "okay" button from the kde error message. it got me back to kdm, so
</I>><i> i clicked console login - seeing tty, i noticed it still said Mandriva
</I>><i> linux
</I>><i> - product.id + /etc/issue still unchanged
</I>><i> - urpmq --list-url showed me that the DVD was still listed as medium, so i
</I>><i> did the urpmi --auto-update
</I>><i> - "unable to access core media" but it continued with message:
</I>><i> - "some requested packages cannot be installed: dblatex, gtk-doc", i said
</I>><i> yes - "the following will be removed: " kmail, due to missing kio-* ; and
</I>><i> some others like mdkonline and some python stuff., i said yes
</I>><i> - then installing package step, 276 packages and 39MB will be freed., i
</I>><i> said yes.
</I>><i> - it said, please insert medium "core media"
</I>><i> - i ejected it in vbox and put it back in, that did the trick
</I>><i> - it tried to start and said i needed 86MB on / (out of disk space?)
</I>><i> - i removed tetex (it seemed to take 200M on /usr/share/texmf) with urpme
</I>><i> and it removed also 12 that depended on it dblatex and stuff
</I>><i> - i redid the autoupdate, and it asked again to insert medium core media,
</I>><i> but reinserting it didn't seem to work. also not inserting something else
</I>><i> first. - failing that, i removed the core media and set up urpmi sources
</I>><i> from online local media. alas it seemed aria2c didn't work due to libz and
</I>><i> libxml versions missing...
</I>><i> - specifying --wget option didn't help either, because my eth0 wasn't
</I>><i> present, but renamed to eth1, which didn't have a config, of course.
</I>><i> - after dhclient eth1 and shutting down firewall, and iptables service to
</I>><i> accept, that worked.
</I>><i> - it also showed the "2\n2" isn't numeric warning messages (#201)
</I>><i> - i also had to add --no-md5sum (due to md5sum check failed)
</I>><i> - i also got messages that it was unable to get pubkeys
</I>><i> - urpmi --auto-update --wget gave warnings but seemed to work, only 2
</I>><i> packages were to be removed due to python < 2.7
</I>><i> - after it ran, it seemd to be only related to urpmi update, and so it
</I>><i> restarted itself and asked me to remove libktorrent to proceed, i say yes
</I>><i> - it then said 300+ extra MB for 1700+ packages, i say yes
</I>><i> - it's halfway through installing atm, i'll go to sleep and tomorrow i'll
</I>><i> continue this.
</I>
continuing:
- after installing, i rebooted
- no 2secs delay
- no F1 F2 F3 text bug, colors looks nice
- but, text and graphic of grub is updated
- choose mageia 1
- kdm displays, and looks ok
- the konsoles that were open still open fine
- indexhtml page seems still not to work (#72)
- firebug doesn't work for the 4.0 rc1 (i suppose this is the disadvantage of
shipping firefox 4.0 branch, there is hardly any addon support) which reminds
me, there isn't a KDE plasma notifier addon installed as well.
- all games submenus have this weird cardlike icon, even arcade and others
- the "more" thing is still there and in it, is the "pulseaudio config
settings" ?
- the configure your computer icon is below the line in the system tools menu
- weird artifact bug when showing shutdown menu (#439)
- i sent missing rpms from mdv (#440)
voila! upgrade test complete.
><i> this was a cloned machine, so it can be retested at a later date. or in
</I>><i> different ways.
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> my conclusion:
</I>><i> - totally not ready for upgrade via DVD.
</I>><i> - DVD upgrade method seems very unstable to me and takes way too much
</I>><i> time. - I would propose to change the DVD upgrade method, that it just
</I>><i> doesn't upgrade at all, except it installs a mgaupdate applet on the
</I>><i> mandriva, then reboots into mandriva, but sort of does an applet-y upgrade
</I>><i> there.
