Description Dick Gevers 2013-05-13 21:01:36 CEST

Description of problem:

Install on real hardware, 64 bit classical iso of 12 May 2013.

Release notes during accepting of licence works, but once set of packages is selected and installing runs, the "Release Notes" button does not produce any result:

Neither when details of package installing is shown, nor when advertisements are being watched.



Reproducible:

Comment 1 Thomas Backlund 2013-05-13 21:05:40 CEST

seems the initial reader reads the correct release-notes.html, but later code seems to insert ".<arch>" wich is wrong, as it searches for release-notes.x86_64.html

See in particular line 2532:

* Cannot open /tmp/media/x86_64/release-notes.x86_64.html: No such file or directory

Comment 4 Thomas Backlund 2013-05-13 21:17:00 CEST

yep. perl-install/any.pm is adding the arch part... I'll review the svn log for the rationale...

Comment 5 Thomas Backlund 2013-05-13 21:36:58 CEST

seems the .arch adding is in initial mga import:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/drakx/trunk/perl-install/any.pm?revision=446&view=markup at line 1043

so it seems the changes to release-notes viewing after mga2 exposed it...

I'll drop the . arch() for mga3

Comment 6 Dick Gevers 2013-05-14 20:26:48 CEST

Same for 32 bit classical dvd

Hardware: x86_64 => All

Comment 7 Dick Gevers 2013-05-14 20:31:31 CEST

command 'bug' produces a bug report with similar lines as mentioned in #c3

Comment 8 Thierry Vignaud 2013-05-15 09:48:42 CEST

This "fix" is bogus. That has nothing do with this bug.
This was for supporting distinct release_notes.<arch>.html:

2005-03-17 16:53  Gwenole Beauchesne <gbeauchesne at mandriva.com>

       * perl-install/install_steps_interactive.pm: MERGE: make it
         possible to read arch-specific release notes in addition to
         global (default) ones

I guess we do not really care anymore anyway (but for ARM?).

Real fix commited into SVN (similar to bug #9939 fix)

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Comment 9 claire robinson 2013-05-15 11:55:45 CEST

If it helps at all, the release notes are displayed later on when installing nonfree drivers.

also works part way through the installation, clicked it again at about 50% done and they opened ok.

Valid 2nd build (15th May)

as the packages build was done after isos, that is normal.

Comment 13 claire robinson 2013-05-15 22:07:04 CEST

2nd build was said to fix this one Manuel, it's in hand though now.
