After a bit longer, I clicked on what turned out to be the reboot icon (I don't spend much time at this screen, typically). Next boot, removal of hardware and locale packages, initial configuration, root and user passwords completed; login was successful. I was able to install fglrx with XFdrake and that worked at next boot. Logout/Power menu does not work, nothing seems to happen, and I've seen that before. Next boot, Logout applet to reboot did work. I noticed that software sources had been automatically added and browsing kcontrol seemed normal.

Hold on - are you getting that message after installation or before installation? (as in during installation or on first boot?) To be more clear, the installation completes normally, with the congratulations, prompt to remove installation medium, and reboot. At first boot, there is a flash of Detecting unused hardware packages or similar, and no further progress until I reboot, after a couple of minutes, in this case. At second boot, the removing hardware and locale packages message displays quite a bit longer, which I take to indicate it completed. Also, the root password and user configuration completes, all of which should have happened first boot. So, there was a failed first boot, essentially, with first time configuration happening at second boot, in this case, for what reason I don't know. Rolf

You know without doubt that I love distributions based on Mandrake/Mandriva and I said and wrote many good things about Mageia . What could I say after an initial rapid use of OpenMandriva? Well, I did not think that having such a fluid and fast Linux system was possible! I did not think any more than we could have a so good integration of KDE! In fact there is a little Gnome-ish stuff inside, even Windows 8 Metro-ish ... The button at the bottom left will open this great dark panel with favorite applications. From here you can access the file navigator. It is also possible to list the applications with the tabs above. Obviously the conventional use of the office is still possible, we are on KDE. A point of interest is that by default, a lot of KDE crap is not included, which makes the system very fast. Reading the OpenMandriva blog, I see that there is a specific kernel version, optimized for faster boot. Indeed, in 10 seconds I'm on my Linux desktop even though I'm using hard drive tray. My Kubuntu well took 1 minutes to be usable, there in less than 10 seconds I'm on KDM. With an SSD it must be fantastic. This is a beta version, all is not rosy either, but after this little discovery, I truly believe in the potential of this distribution , which aims to be more than that in reality.

Re: [OM Cooker] Disabling generation of old hdlist.cz in ABF?
On 03/31/2014 01:02 AM, Denis Silakov wrote:
Hi all,
As many of you can likely notice, package publishing in ABF usually
takes relatively significant time - about several minutes (sometimes
up to 10 minutes).
One of the time-consuming tasks in the publishing is generation of
hdlist.cz file - this is a huge file containing internal urpm
representation of metadata, including file lists, package
descriptions, etc. This file seems to be redundant - nowadays we
generate additional xml files (changelog.xml, info.xml, etc.) which in
combination with lightweight synthesis.hdlist.cz provide the same
information. However, I am not so familiar with hdlist.cz and can't
guarantee that nothing will be lost if we completely drop it.
So the question is - can somebody say what will we lost (if any) if we
drop hdlist.cz files? Or maybe we should just try and see?
Hi,
I hope someone can make some sense of my experience wrt hdlist.cz etc.
Many years ago, iirc, synthesis.hdlist.cz was introduced as an optional
source of media info that could be chosen by those with a slow internet
connection, as it was smaller and took less time to download than the
traditional, default hdlist.cz. I always chose hdlist.cz as my
connection was relatively quick and, I think, there was more information
included, naturally. Also, whenever I used urpmq/urpmf to query the
database, which is my primary usage of this important tool for
investigating packages capabilities, the result was almost immediate,
since the data was already on my computer. At some point, hdlist.cz was
no longer available as a way to configure urpmi. Every time I search
for a package containing a file of interest, I have to wait a long time
for xml files to be downloaded from each media source. Also, when I
look for a changelog in MandrivaUpdate or with urpmq, it must be
retrieved. IIANM, the package info would already be available on my
machine when using hdlist.cz as urpmi.update had already been done.
Admittedly, this is an accounting of the events of a number of years
that is challenging for an aged memory, but my recollected experience is
that the functionality of urpm was better with hdlist.cz than with
anything that has come since. Maybe generation of the others could be
dropped to gain publishing speed? :) Alternately, perhaps an option
could be provided where all the current information is downloaded when
urpmi.update is run and/or with CL switches.
^^^Those words reminded me of the policy option to Always download xml
information in the rpmdrake media manager, which I recall trying,
before, without improvement. I see this in the urpmi.cfg manual about
global options:
xml-info
For remote media, specify when files.xml.lzma,
changelog.xml.lzma and info.xml.lzma are downloaded:
never
on-demand
(This is the default).
The specific xml info file is downloaded when
urpmq/urpmf/rpmdrake ask for it. urpmi.update will remove
outdated xml info file.
nb: if urpmq/urpmf/rpmdrake is not run by root, the xml
info file is downloaded into /tmp/.urpmi-uid/
update-only
urpmi.update will update xml info files already required
at least once by urpmq/urpmf/rpmdrake.
nb: with update-only, urpmi.update will not update
/tmp/.urpmi-uid/ xml info files
always
all xml info files are downloaded when doing
urpmi.addmedia and urpmi.update
I checked and no global policy was defined, so I set it to Always in
media manager, which is reflected, now, in urpmi.cfg:
{
downloader: curl
verify-rpm: 1
xml-info: always
}
This stanza was empty, before, by default, I guess. I then ran a urpmf
query and watched as xml files began to be downloaded, so I quit. This
is what I recall of my previous attempt(s) to replicate the hdlist.cz
behavior. Just in case, I ran urpmi.update (as root), followed by urpmf
(as user). The following lists were all downloaded before the query
finished:
http://mirror.rosalab.ru/rosa/rosa2012.1/repository/x86_64/media/main/updates/media_info/files.xml.lzma
http://mirror.rosalab.ru/rosa/rosa2012.1/repository/i586/media/main/updates/media_info/files.xml.lzma
http://mirror.rosalab.ru/rosa/rosa2012.1/repository/x86_64/media/non-free/updates/media_info/files.xml.lzma
http://mirror.rosalab.ru/rosa/rosa2012.1/repository/i586/media/non-free/updates/media_info/files.xml.lzma
http://mirror.rosalab.ru/rosa/rosa2012.1/repository/x86_64/media/restricted/updates/media_info/files.xml.lzma
http://mirror.rosalab.ru/rosa/rosa2012.1/repository/i586/media/restricted/updates/media_info/files.xml.lzma
A urpmq --changelog query is quicker, since urpmi knows where the single
package comes from, but that sources changelog.xml.lzma is still
downloaded, even after the previous configurations, whereas the old

Re: [OM Cooker] QA ISO Debrief
I'm going to mention it's always been good protocol to verify the downloaded iso with md5sum or other and verify the burn to help ensure a good basis for testing, reporting, or installing. With a verified iso, I've found Volker Kuhlmann's writecd script to seem to provide the verification against a known good iso. I say seem as I don't have an independent way of verifying how the script does the job but I've had it report a 1:1 positive verification and errors, both, that appear to reflect the reality. I use it always with optical media and have just tried it with apparent success when using dd to put the beta iso on a 16GB Toshiba usb flash memory key. As example, after the iso is verified with md5sum or sha1sum, etc: dd if=OpenMandriva.beta.x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdh bs=1M and when that's finished, writecd -cmp OpenMandriva.beta.x86_64.iso /dev/sdh If writecd finds a difference between the two, it stops and reports at what point. In this case, the output declares an encouraging matching number of records in/out and the only difference at EOF of stdin, which indicates a pass: $ writecd -cmp OpenMandriva.beta.x86_64.iso /dev/sdh Logging to writecd.cmp.log Fri 28 Feb 2014 14:32:27 UTC Fri 28 Feb 2014 06:32:27 PST Linux localhost.localdomain 3.12.12-nrjQL-desktop-69rosa #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Feb 21 14:04:09 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux 06:32:27 up 23:09, 8 users, load average: 0.15, 0.16, 0.28 writecd version 4.1.5, 10 Feb 2008 Copyright (C) by Volker Kuhlmann volkerkuhlm...@gmx.de Comparing CD 'OpenMandriva.beta.x86_64.iso' with isofile '/dev/sdh' Size of CD is: 1561915392 bytes = 762654 sectors Using buffer size: 4096 bytes, count = 381327 381327+0 records in 381327+0 records out 1561915392 bytes (1.6 GB) copiedcmp: EOF on - , 78.2123 s, 20.0 MB/s Fri 28 Feb 2014 14:33:45 UTC Fri 28 Feb 2014 06:33:45 PST Total execution time: 0:01:18 Ring bell: [writecd] Ring bell: [writecd] Ring bell: [writecd] Ring bell: [writecd] An analogous procedure for optical medium in burner /dev/sr0: $ wodim dev=/dev/sr0 plpbt.iso $ writecd -cmp /dev/sr0 plpbt.iso Volker Kuhlmann's scriptutils containing writecd can be found here: http://volker.top.geek.nz/soft/ atm.

Acting in near ignorance, I don't feel my security is being enhanced, as I need the browsers to do my thing, and just start pushing buttons. The spying by militaristic governments on one another is nothing new, just more visible and potentially invasive via the same technology that enabled the rapid advancement of Linux. So, it's a hard choice. There is some merit in being approachable, important for what I see OMV is trying to become. Could the installation of the necessary certificates be made more automated/transparent with a package dependency or highly visible and documented widget/button or some such? To RTFM before going to a website is not a user-friendly mechanism, iiuic. Rolf
Re: [OM Cooker] [om-general] OpenMandriva Lx 2013.0 Final

OM Lx 2013.0 comes after a Beta and two RC releases, and is a fruit of months of hard work and community effort. It is important to note that OpenMandriva is purely a community distro, with no corporate involvement. This release is dedicated to the memory of our dear friend, and one of the first contributors, Ronald van Pomeren (Arvi Pingus), whom we lost in the June of this year.

[OM Cooker] Testing bug 254
https://issues.openmandriva.org/show_bug.cgi?id=254 That was closed but I've not found it's fixed, for me, as of the 1951/RC2 build. I've added some testing results and re-opened as UNCONFIRMED. In case, as it appears, that it's a matter of ivtv-driven hardware and not exclusive to my machine, it might be worth an errata as live sessionis not working without intervention and installation fails at first boot, without intervention. Thanks, Rolf

Re: [OM Cooker] Odp.: Re: KDE menus
Hi, I'm one of the old fogies (translated from the Italian, conservative ;P). I like kickoff because I'm used to it and it gets the job done, for me. OTOH, I am, slowly but surely, finding things in the newer systems that I like, such as the desktop chooser that zooms out to show choices, very nice, don't remember what it's called. I could relent on my choice in the interests of progress or making a distinctive distro. What I would wish is that a right-click of the launcher/menu icon could give a quick and easy choice of 2, 3, 4, or more menu styles, but I don't know what that takes. Just a dreamer, Rolf On 11/08/2013 07:13 AM, rugyada wrote: Hi, Kickoff and SimpleWelcome are the 2 most voted launchers. They satisfy users who want a classic launcher like kickoff, and users who want a modern and flexible launcher with many features like SW. While traditional kickoff menu is the same standard in all KDE distributions, SW is a great piece of software which just ROSA and OpenMandriva have, it's a feature that makes us unique and distinguish us from all others. In my opinion, I really believe we should supply both launchers by default. That way we'll make happy both the conservative and the progressive users.

Re: [OM Cooker] OpenMandriva Lx 2013.0 rc1 candidate ISOs
Colin suggested to remove the tuner card that uses ivtv. I would say that missing firmware hasn't got in the way of many other installations. It just got reported every boot until I put it in. However, I thought to copy the wanted file from a working installation to /lib/firmware, easier than removing the card. Also, I commented the blacklist instruction. Next boot was successful to the desktop.

I've built a stick and it boots fine on 4 of my boxes, and doesn't boot on 1. I didn't get around to debugging this a lot yet, but it seems like on the failing box, the USB drivers aren't being loaded for some reason (USB keyboard not working either). One observation that may or may not be relevant is that the 4 working boxes have USB 2.x and 3.x ports while the 1 box that doesn't work is an older box with USB 1.x -- maybe we're loading drivers for USB 2.x+ only.

Hey, that looks very nice! I might suggest to unlink the isos on your server from the Download the latest ISO (64-bit http://distro.ibiblio.org/unity/isos/OpenMandrivaLx/2013.0/OpenMandrivaLx-2013.0-beta.x86_64.iso and 32-bit http://distro.ibiblio.org/unity/isos/OpenMandrivaLx/2013.0/OpenMandrivaLx-2013.0-beta.i586.iso) statement. I understand server load is a concern, atm, and, as I was checking links, it makes it too easy to retrieve the isos from the server, as the first choice in the announcement, instead of giving more thought to employing bittorrent. IMO :) Thanks, Rolf On 10/19/2013 07:33 AM, Anurag Bhandari wrote: Hi Rolf, It seems like the current WordPress theme isn't compatible with the plugin I used to share the draft. Anyway, here's the post: After months of bug fixing and stabilizing the Alpha, we are happy to announce the availability of OpenMandriva Lx’s first ever *Beta*. We’ve put a lot of work into stabilizing the package base and building a solid base for future versions. After this release, work on the new ideas we’ve been collecting can start — people interested in following the development may want to watch Cooker. We extend our thanks to all users who rigorously tested the Alphas and reported bugs. Lx has undergone many changes since Alpha http://blog.openmandriva.org/en/2013/06/openmandriva-new-alpha-is-ready-for-bug-hunting/, and this release fixes many major bugs reported during Alpha’s testing. Most of the boot issues have been ironed out, and Beta is now more USB boot-friendly. Lx Beta comes with KDE 4.11, with a focus on a clean and unified desktop. This release comes with a set of four (!) launchers — Lancelot, KickOff, SimpleWelcome and Homerun — for you to try and give feedback. Eventually we’ll settle for just one, the winner based on your feedback. Installation has also changed. DrakX installer is no longer available. The bundled installer no longer prompts for the removal of unused hardware and language packages.

[OM Cooker] Beta dvd kernel panics
Hi, This is for a verified md5sum of OpenMandriva.alpha.20131015.x86_64.iso, which is the same size and md5sum as the Beta iso, so I assume it's the same, and burn to dvd+r verified by `writecd -cmp` Version 4.1.5, 10 Feb 2008 by Volker Kuhlmann http://volker.dnsalias.net/soft/ The boot tests results seem similar to previous attempts with alpha on dvd, inasmuch as, generally, boot to live or default 'basic graphics mode' tends to end in kernel panic, while boot to the second 'Install OpenMandriva 2013' option proceeds with installation. There were three tests that ended in kernel panic, for which I took a picture of the last screen, frozen, keyboard unresponsive: Boot to live, 'Start OpenMandriva': https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1286780/openmandriva/images/20131019-dvd0001.jpeg After changing to an older, MS ComfortCurve 2000, that has worked a long time, boot to live: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1286780/openmandriva/images/20131019-dvd0002.jpeg Boot to default, 'basic graphics': https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1286780/openmandriva/images/20131019-dvd0003.jpeg As before, the second menu option, 'Install OpenMandriva 2013', loaded and installation to a default ext4 custom / partition finished. On first reboot, Log in for my new user stalled at the first folder icon of the KDE startup splash for about 5 minutes, then the folder disappeared and the wait cursor remained, as in my alpha test: http://ml.openmandriva.org/htdig.cgi/om-cooker-openmandriva.org/2013-October/001424.html Ctrl-Alt-F4 gave me the graphical login screen, at this point, and I was able to run KDE. Most of my configuration attempts were successful, except there is some glitch in Digital Clock Settings of the default clock plasmoid, wherein, if I choose to select a Date format string by clicking the wrench, the locale settings window appears and is unresponsive, will not close. Also, I configured X to use nouveau for my GTX 470, which required I add rpm media, which worked fine, network was automatically configured for ethernet dhcp. However, the next boot proceeded through the splash to a black screen, no keyboard response, apparent freeze. That's as far as I've gone but there are some issues, here. ;) Thanks Rolf

I could never reproduce it on 2 of my boxes, I've seen it 1 time (out of around 100 reboots) on another, and every time on an old box. The new iso boots fine on that box. Please let me know if you're still seeing this issue on any hardware. ttyl bero Hi, Booted verified md5sum and burn of OpenMandriva.alpha.20131010.x86_64.iso to the default, basic graphics install. First time I tried to use the usb keyboard to give a label to my custom disk partitioned reiserfs /, it didn't work. After a re-plug of the cable, it did. Installation proceeded but first boot dropped to a Repair# shell with non-working keyboard, re-plug didn't help. I looked in the initrd: # lsinitrd initramfs-3.10.13-nrjQL-desktop-1omv.img|grep reiserfs lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 10 14:33 sbin/fsck.reiserfs - reiserfsck -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 303208 Oct 10 14:33 sbin/reiserfsck I can see 'insmod reiserfs' in the grub2 menu but can't find out whether or not it's loaded. I tried various edits from a working ROSA installation, such as adding reiserfs to /etc/modprobe.preload but got no further. Following my quackery for the previous beta: http://www.mail-archive.com/om-cooker@ml.openmandriva.org/msg00617.html I generated a new initramfs.img and lsinitrd showed reiserfs.ko was inside, due to the /etc/modprobe.preload edit, I guess. That booted and I could complete the installation configuration. Log in for my new user stalled at the first folder icon of the KDE startup splash for about 5 minutes, then the folder disappeared and the wait cursor remained. I left that for 5 or 6 more minutes. I tried Ctrl-Alt-F[1-12] but I haven't seen a vt in these past two betas. The result is a return to the login screen, where the results are the same. Eventually, I forget the exact head-banging sequence, I was logged in. I configured internet, added repos, and configured X for the nvidia-current driver. The message is to reboot for the nvidia driver, which I did. The next boot returned to the Repair# shell, unresponsive keyboard, and some messages indicating nouveau had not been blacklisted. I have some things to try to resolve that but it seems a bug, no? Thanks Rolf
Re: [OM Cooker] New beta candidate ISOs
Ok. Just to follow-up, I added `reiserfs` to /etc/modprobe.preload and ran `mkinitrd -f /boot/initramfs-3.10.7-nrjQL-desktop-1omv.img 3.10.7-nrjQL-desktop-1omv` against the initramfs image in /boot after chroot to the omv installation from ROSA. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1286780/openmandriva/20131005-mkinitrd.txt Then, `update-grub2` for good measure. After that, for this or some other reason, boot succeeded. There are still some problems with very slow response, as in ark, and I lost mouse function, needed to delete .kde4/ to get login to function. Hard to pin down, maybe some intermittent problems, a freeze in the gui. However, functionality is there, atm, and I'll see how it goes. Again, with the default nouveau driver, artworks are very nice. :-) Thanks to all.

It takes a little time to do the comparison, unless there's a difference, in which case try the other iso. Rolf

It's interfering with my cursor theme settings by resetting them on every login. Surely. We removed it in Rosa already some time ago. And there were no bad side-effects. Cool. Just tested it removed and it basically defaults to whiteglass. Anyone have an objection to that cursor theme (e.g. use Oxygen_White instead or something)? I'll push a new build otherwise. Hi, Once installed, I would want to configure cursor in Systemsettings to KDE Classic or such and have that not be reset to some default. During installation, whatever cursor is not such a big deal, within reason. Recently, on Solydk, debian-based distro, I had that experience of my choice of cursor not being respected. I found some way to configure outside of systemsettings, after much needless exploration, only to have *that* configuration erased upon a system update. I hope that sort of condition is not going to be in the release, at least. Rolf
