Description Thomas Andrews 2015-11-27 04:36:58 CET

Description of problem:
Neither of the LiveDVDs for Plasma 5 will boot into a live mode desktop. This happens with both real hardware and VirtualBox, on-board ATI or Intel graphics. It will show the Mageia splash screen, getting one or two "bubbles," after which it shows error messages about "no authority," and finally a blank screen.

I will be adding a tarball of several screenshots that may or may not aid in discovering the problem(s).

Created attachment 7241 [details]
screenshots of Mageia 6 Plasma 5 6dev1

These shots were taken at various stages over several attempts to boot into Live mode. The 6.3 shot was taken as what most users would see just before the blank screen. The others were taken after pressing ESC on the keyboard.

@ Thomas Andrews,

Closing this one as OLD, because there was no activity since 9 months ago, which means that if the bug is still valid, there'll be a new 6sta1 or 6RC report for it.
