Description Jim Beard 2014-11-20 16:53:11 CET

Attempt to use mcc > local disks > manage disk partitions fails with a Warning, This program has exited abnormally.

Mcc run from the command line as root yields the following after manage disk partitions is clicked on in the gui:

[root@jdb ~]# LC_ALL=C
[root@jdb ~]# mcc

This may be related to Bug 10062, which also involved /proc/bus/usb.

System is Mageia 4.1 newly installed over Mageia 3 on a generic desktop with cpu an Intel i7 870.
urpmq --not-available turns up 74 rpm packages, mostly /lib64 rpms and old kernels.
urpmq --auto-orphans turns up 156 rpm packages, including most or maybe all of the lib64 and kernel rpms, plus a duplicate:
 lib64llvmradeon9.1.3-9.1.3-1.1.mga3.tainted.x86_64
 lib64llvmradeon9.1.7-9.1.7-1.1.mga3.tainted.x86_64

Months ago I installed Mageia 4 as a clean install on a Gateway with an AMD Athlon dual-core cpu, and that system fully updated is working fine when I use mcc to manage disk partitions.

Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer 
maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug 
fix updates.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't 
able to fix it before Mageia 4's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and 
change it against that version of Mageia. If it's valid in several versions, 
select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release.
Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the
packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you 
most [2].

@ Jim

It seems you missed that request. Please do it now, but slightly different:

Please attach (not paste) the "mga-not5.txt" file resulting from running the following command:
rpm -qa |grep -v mga5|sort > /tmp/mga-not5.txt

Comment 6 Marja Van Waes 2016-06-05 14:16:26 CEST

Closing as invalid, because the requested information has not been given.

Sorry Jim :-(

Please reopen and supply that informtion, if this bug is still valid in Mageia 5,

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