Sorry for the very late reply, BugSquad could use some more members.

If you can reproduce this when installing from live mode, too, then please run as root

   journalctl -ab > journal.txt

after you did those 6 steps, but before rebooting.

And then attach journal.txt to this report

  (you can compress it with xz if it's big:

      xz journal.txt

   and then attach journal.txt.xz )

@ Nikita

I'm closing this report as old, because we don't have enough information to investigate the issue further.

If you do still hit this bug with Mageia 6sta1 or later, then please _reopen_ this report and attach the requested information.

Kind regards,
Marja

Comment 4 Thierry Vignaud 2016-07-12 18:03:24 CEST

yes and it works fine.
So please only reopen if you happen to reproduce and then:
- attach a USB key
- go to tty2
- run the "bug command"
- attach the report.bug file found on the USB key

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