Thanks! I'll give it a spin....

VB-Installation went OK.
Network setup did not connect.
And after a reboot there is no GUI - I picked the plug'n play setting. (and I got a "TSC calibration failed" message)
Altering settings in drakx11 in the CLI to VESA made the GUI start nicely.
It turns out that the network is present despite the failed setup during install.
I could set my display as a flat pane with the desired resolution.

So it works here now - But I have forgotten what repos to hook up to this thing?
Edit:
I think I found it:

Code: Select all

urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist 'http://abf.rosalinux.ru/downloads/cooker/repository/x86_64'

I get that TSC calibration failed message on boot in Mageia 3 even. Seems it's not much to worry about, but it never happened before. Search for "TSC calibration failed". It seems there was a some going on with more than one distro in April 2013. Note the bugs filed on the different distros. Fedora, Mageia, etc. Manjaro even got it.

Personally, I think it's to do with the kernel. Really, not much else it could be.

[viking60]

Yes that seems to be minor.
There still is no sound - and the flash implementation crashes constantly in FF.

Hi

Per, you should look for hold the iso smaller than an usb-stick,
maybe ever around 3,5 Gig for enabling dd on an 4 Gig Stick
Only new Bioses works with 8 or bigger usb-sticks

Judging by the mailing list the devs are perfetly capable of fighting without PØK's help. It seems that the blame game is the only game in town, so packagers are leaving.
There is something wrong with the whole setup.
Sad story.

[dedanna1029]

Yep, it was that way with Mandriva for a very long time, and if you're going to include people from Mandriva for OpenMandriva, then it's going to continue to happen. Let 'em fight - they'll end up (once again) with no distro. I've challenged them to prove me wrong on that in this very thread.

I don't think I'm wrong, so let them go on... the distro is the only thing that will really suffer. Oh well. It's always been a "sad story" with Mandriva/OpenMandriva. I think it always will be, until people pull their heads out of that box and get some work done. Real work.

I bet it never happens. Again. Let it be. So mote it be.

Glad as all get-out to be out of the drama now for 3-1/2 years now, and going to stay that way. Almost got suckered in again here, but glad not to have, really.

[viking60]

I guess some fighting cannot hurt and might be necessary. But the problem is that someone seems to think that getting rid of bothersome devs is a solution.

It is not - getting more devs would be a part solution. And there is no roadmap and no goal for when they want the distro to be finished.

I can see how that would be uncomfortable if you do not believe that the distro ever will be finished and how this rapidly would become uncomfortable once the target days have come and gone.
And it would escalate the already popular blame game, but everybody would have that target and chip in extra hard once it is getting close.

This is a lack of courage and leadership so I will make a prediction for a release of OpenMandriva 2012

It will be released in march 2016

Provocative you say? Way to long? Well they only have to set another date - one they think they can handle.
Until that happens I am going to assume that the above is the target date for OpenMandriva.

So they have plenty of time

And nothing would please me more than that they would shock me with a quality product on an earlier date.....

It is not that far off - I have the Moondrake edition mostly working but I did have a short period where sound worked - now it is gone again.
Flash crashes mostly. I just miss the occasional update where things magically start to work again - not the other way around.

Hi,

the most interesting it is maybe , to holding out folks who want really build up and want help and can get help.. but some folks of OM say "bahh, they are troublemakers"
and they want not hold out for not bring up this distro down (but by which reasons ?).... maybe be other fronts who be the part of destructive on this game, and two persons be hold outside who had the possible to make much to build up as they think (or don't want) .. how every, this time and that all make tired (What is perhaps wanted ?) ..

Rapha * <-Frendship-> with Owner from Mandrivauser.de-> Wobo* Destruct the German Mandriva community -> (Mageia exist) <-> and much other crap

2. i have now an other provider with 60 Gig webspace..in my possibility it would have been to pick up even bigger Web space ! but why ?
i be hold out from the Openmandriva Association as Member .. they want pissed me on ? they Pissed his by self, why ? They deprive themselves of the opportunities but my lord.. Maybe it is also wanted .. if is see the whole time from the start last Year up to here and now ... hey sorry, the occurs on the web it's under all pig , the Forum it's for the trash .. the Wiki it's an Smiling page (the once win it's the link to the previous page.. but this it is writing as a ???? Homepage ??? muuaaahhhahaha )

and much other.. which really is the occasion, to think about, if is the whole negative not really intended ! From Persons who want this ! Because.. it is exist Mageia.. *

I feel very sorry only people,the matrimonial want the reconstruction and/but do not see what is really (the Reality) . The Poor peoples who to get the run-around and be ever manipulates :\

Me to feel sorry for the people , who really work to Mandriva again become up, but not really to get it.. but they also do not understand why !

Otherside can the Leadership of Openmandriva Association can sit back and let make the other first build up, and at last can they say:
"why, we are had build up all, you are was only the slaves !"

think about .. think about the Secretary and Leader and his frend (in double sence) ..

best regards

The cooker is all about what big a jerk Per Øyvind is again.
The tech issues are getting in the background. That is not good for the distro - regardless of who is to "blame" .

[dedanna1029]

IMO, evryone is to blame in this, from Mandriva SA in the beginning, on up and down, on all sides, throughout the OpenMandriva phase(s) (if you want to call any "phases" taken place yet). It certainly is not good for the distro, and if you take away that tech element, then you have no distro.

People need to just stop it and get the hell to work. I want to see something come out of it, but like I keep saying, the more people keep their crap up, the less chance there is that something will come out of it.
