Just finished clean install of latest 'release' Mageia-6-dev1-i586-DVD.iso on netbook.

Installed cleanly, but on reboot still fails to provide a Plasma login (got IceWM(?) instead.

  Älso, failed to provide a working ethernet connection, but WiFi connected normally.

Comment 6 Maurice Batey 2016-05-03 19:19:38 CEST

Ditto with Mageia-6-sta1-i586-DVD.iso (2016/05/03), I'm afraid.

  (Did 44-package update  after first reboot.)

Comment 7 Maurice Batey 2016-05-21 14:16:44 CEST

Just finished clean install of 20/5/2016 32-bit Mageia-6-sta1 on netbook.

Installed cleanly, but on reboot still fails to provide a Plasma login (got IceWM(?) instead).

  Älso, failed to provide a working ethernet connection, but WiFi connected normally.  (Installer still showing Ethernet as "eth0" and WiFi as "wlan0")

Comment 8 Maurice Batey 2016-06-08 19:43:13 CEST

Just finished clean install of 6/6/2016 32-bit Mageia-6-sta1 on netbook.

Installed cleanly, but on reboot still fails to provide a Plasma login (got IceWM(?) instead).

Also an installer error: 'Unpack' failed for ffmpeg-2.8.6-3.mga6.i586".

Comment 9 Thierry Vignaud 2016-06-17 14:10:16 CEST

Duplicate.
drakx & meta-task hasn't been adapted to the KDE->Plasma switch, hence when you selected "KDE", it didn't do the right thing

>...hence when you selected "KDE", it didn't do the right thing

 I'm sure it was "Plasma" I selected not "KDE" (which earlier .iso's offered)

(Will check after return to base; 
On holiday in Le Crotoy, Picardy, at the moment).

Comment 11 Thierry Vignaud 2016-06-17 17:36:42 CEST

Sure but internally, we were still using the KDE keywoard which didn't match the PLASMA keyword in http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/meta-task/current/SOURCES/rpmsrate-raw?revision=1021749&view=markup

Comment 12 Maurice Batey 2016-06-25 22:47:29 CEST

Have just installed the 20/6 32-bit classic Mageia-6-sta1 on the Samsung NC110 netbook (non-EFI non-GPT real h/w) and am happy to report that a Plasma login was FOR THE FIRST TIME with Mageia-6 - offered!

No problem with initial testing after reboot. Obtained WiFi connection and a 114-package s/w update (incl. LibreOffice & Kernel).
  Will carry out detailed testing of apps with Plasma.

So on this evidence this bug report can be closed.
