adamw Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 I guess it didn't get mirrored yet. I'd wait for it to turn up in official, I'd hope it won't be long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thac Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 (edited) I just noticed a strange thing. I have upgraded my rc2 install to 2005 dvd and now i used easy urpmi to add the stable main and contrib official repositorys for 2005 and it showed up 116MB of rpms to upgrade newer then on dvd ???? if it had been in updates it would have been ok but not this. the official repositorys should have been same as dvd. some of them is upgraded because they are from contrib and not included on dvd and others is newer on dvd then in official repository. a quite important package is missing from dvd subversion and half of the new xine is missing from dvd another package missing from dvd is xorg-x11-server xorg-x11-Xnest libxorg-x11-static-devel the last 3 is really bad that they are missing from dvd !!!! Update the missing rpms is there on dvd but obviously not included in hdlist.cz this does not mean that the install does not work it will probaly work anyway it was only i who made an update that saw this. So my advice is use easy urpmi and add online repositorys for main and contrib at once after install and upgrade.

solarian Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 I'd say that xorg-server is critical component Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 yeah, that sounds wrong to me, as if xorg-x11-server was really missing, you wouldn't be able to get a graphical boot at all. And I'm sure _someone_ would've noticed that before we shipped the DVD. :) Anyone else experienced anything like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarian Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 (edited) And I'm sure _someone_ would've noticed that before we shipped I heard NASA say the same when they confused centimetres for inches in some ESA made components. And ESA when they forgot to turn on one out of two transmitter channels in their Titan probe. ;) Edited April 16, 2005 by solarian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thac Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 The hdlist problem is confirmed read mandriva cooker mailinglist http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-c...63245813557&w=2 and http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=111364267400001&r=1&w=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 I think it ought to work so long as you use /devel/2005 not /official/2005 . The tree in /official appears to be broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solarian Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 I'm patient. Besides it will give plenty of time to the early adopters to hunt out bugs which weren't predicted or noticed in the beta/rc stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 My experiences with Mandriva 2005 LE: I did the network install. Downloaded the boot.iso, burned a cd and rebooted. It's idiot proof and worked flawlessly (I had to try 3 servers though to get one with decent speed). I liked the new splash but ofcourse it's better to keep away from your kids. Starry eyed penguins are not for the little ones. The system feels nice and snappy. No need to build a new kernel. KDE is all messed up (well only kicker) because of my kde 3.4 configs. Installed thacs rpms and noticed I had menu problems (no text! and double entries). And I can't install a kde-devel package so I can't compile all my favorite programs from kde-apps (taskbar v2, komics, kio-locate :) ) Tried to configure the ivtv driver from the MCC. What a mess. It works but only because I knew what to do. Someone new to Mandriva would run away screaming. Freevo is broken. I can't get it to play or record from /dev/video0. No errors so probably a python problem. I don't know what mandriva is doing with python but there is always something wrong. XMLTV and the Dutch tv grabbers don't work. And why don't Mandriva include tv-grab_nl_gert. It's the best of the lot. (I hope gert from tv_grab_nl_gert is on to it :) ). The Wacom tablet doesn't work correctly. That has to do with the usbmouse module. I wish Mandriva wouldn't include it. Nobody needs it anyway. Mandriva still comes with lirc 0.66 instead of 0.7x and that ancient version doesn't work with my remote (0.71 installs without problems though) So I exchanged a stable, perfectly working Mandrake 10.1 install for a bug infested mess but for what.? What did I expect? That it would be better? Impossible. That it would be faster. Well it feels a bit snappier but I'm afraid that is just my imagination. I guess the only reason why I upgraded is because I always upgrade ............... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
