Attachments: report.bug.gz from current Mageia 2 i586 FreeDVD default installation

Description Florian Hubold 2011-07-25 11:52:50 CEST
Description of problem:

After doing a default KDE installation of Mageia 1 i586 from the Free-DVD,
when setting up my wireless connection (and activating enabling Traffic Accounting) dhcp-client and dhcp-common need to be installed.

Shouldn't this be contained in a default install?
Comment 1 Ahmad Samir 2011-07-25 16:38:27 CEST
dhcp-common and -client get installed by default in a KDE installation.

Did you customise anything while installing?

Comment 2 Florian Hubold 2011-07-27 13:36:58 CEST
No, plain default KDE installation from Free DVD i586, no customizing.

But looking with urpmq --whatrequires and --whatrequires-recursive seems nothing in a default installation requires one of these packages.

Will try to reproduce with a fresh virtual machine, anything special to lookout for?
Comment 3 Ahmad Samir 2011-07-28 08:25:17 CEST
dhcp-client and -common are installed via meta-task, IIUC; check /usr/share/meta-task/rpmsrate-raw .

I did try a fresh install, however it was x86_64 (I don't have the i586 DVD).

What about this bug report ?

I'll try to reproduce with a fresh default installation, just had no time so far. Maybe it'll be difficult as this only occurred when setting up the wireless adapter after installation and enabling vnstat (traffic accounting and statistics) for that interface.

But so far noone else seems to have reported this, so maybe bogus ...

Unfortunately not because i can't spare a physical machine for testing this, maybe i can try over the weekend in a vm.

Ok, this happened again with a pretty default Mageia 2 install from i586 Free DVD, on the same laptop where it happened the first time, same conditions. Only thing what was changed, was on summary screen of the installation, i clicked on firewall, and clicked OK and OK, although the network was not set up, no wired nor wireless.

After the first boot, i've removed the DVD repo and tried to setup wireless connection (no firmware needed, Atheros hardware, driver in-kernel) and at the final step, drakconnect complains that dhcp-client is not available and cannot be installed (logically, as the DVD repo was removed prior to that)

But why isn't it installed in the first place, can somebody tell me what the cause of that is? Will attach report.bug.gz

Comment 11 Manuel Hiebel 2012-08-19 16:41:13 CEST
what is your interface name ? and maybe the output of lspcidrake -l

in other logs I see:

* easy_dhcp: found eth0
* easy_dhcp: found eth1
* adding alias eth0 to tg3
[...]
* do_pkgs_during_install::install
* selecting packages dhcp-client

Comment 12 Florian Hubold 2012-08-20 21:36:12 CEST
Didn't take a look during installation. It's wlan0, and an Atheros chip, directly supported by the kernel, no firmware needed. Although i didn't do any setup for it during installation, as i prefer to do that afterwards.

Will provide more information when i get my hands back on the laptop. But i don't think i can repeat installation soon, as my parents want to use it :/
