Hi Luca
nope nothing useful there - I am re-installing from scratch now to see if I can reproduce it. If I cannot then it must have been Gizmo who walked over my keyboard again

Blacky, I did that very thing 2008-2010 on Mandriva's cooker, it was just easier for me than to remember urpmi --noclean at every update. I did it on stable Mageia as well, as I'd get buggy updates from them. I also save Arch's cache.

The rpms you've already missed saving, you've missed. There is no back-dating this. You'll have to go to the server and download the old version.

Puh I did re-install the entire enchilade and reprodced all the steps I have dokumented here.
Installing drakwizard LAMP phpmyadmin tmux openbox cairo-dock etc. :coffee_smile:

I lent back and got ready to arrogantly present the very reason for this bug (it is still there in my other VB) :ugeek:
So I rebooted and fired drakconf over and over again - and it works :shock:

There is no telling what Gizmo has done with my other install so we should forget that bug.

One thing that really should be in the repos though is glances

Ok new bug
libreoffice-l10n-nb-4.1.1-1-omv2013.0.x86_64 is not installed, It is the same as with kde. Now I have the locale nb in kde and also as the default in Libreoffice - but the interface stays english because Norwegian Bokmål (nb)is missing.

Yes I can find it an install it - but this would not be considered user friendly in Norway.

Uh? Arch saves the cache by default so you can roll back anything. You can clean it with

Code: Select all

pacman -Scc 
After you have done that you will not be able to downgrade anymore.
This will also free up lots of space if it is a long time since you have done it.

When I pick settings for startup in Drakconf I get the message that it cannot find any boot system (grub2) so it will set one up for me.
I don't think this is a feature even if I have a working boot system so there is no need to set up a new one.
It should have popped me in to the current boot settings if you ask me....

I'll report the bug and see if this is a feature or a bug:

OpenMandriva owes me one years supply of free beer now :cheers
Edit
And as luca pointed out; this bug was already reported and fixed in bug 28 - since my iso is from the 18th of Oct I did not have the fix.

Code: Select all

sudo nano /boot/grub2/drakboot.conf

And putting this content in there:

Code: Select all

boot=/dev/sda

Worked nicely. :s

A Release Plan has been published:
http://wiki.openmandriva.org/en/2013.0_release_plan

The release manager has expressed some concerns about the tightness of this schedule (he was not present at the meeting which adopted it) and so it may be changed.

Remember, I also said I move the files into a self-created folder in /home. Read it all, boss. lol.

Thanks Jim
Since it is Friday I guess there is a release today... :-D
The plan is good and having a distro ultimo November sounds possible. In any case OMA cannot afford to let this one slide into next year.
There has been enough time spent already...
