Description Martin Whitaker 2018-08-12 13:34:03 CEST

Suggested Advisory
==================
This update fixes a bug in drakboot that prevented the main "Mageia" entry being selectable as the default entry for GRUB2 (mga#23393). In the installer, this caused the default entry to be set to a specific kernel version, which could lead to users continuing to boot an old kernel even after a kernel update had been installed if they didn't notice this.

This update also fixes a bug in the classical installer where, if the user chooses to install updates at the end of the installation process, installation can fail with an error message that the udisks-daemon is not running (mga#19742).

Test Procedure
==============
To test the mga#23393 bug fix, on a machine using GRUB2 as the bootloader, in the MCC select "Set up boot system". Click through the first screen. In the second screen there is a drop down box allowing you to select the default boot entry. Before the update this will not include the simple "Mageia" choice. After the update it should include that choice.

Other than that, just live with the updates for a while to make sure there are no regressions.

The installer fixes will only be testable after the next round of ISOs is built.

on mga6-64 

packages installed cleanly:
- drakxtools-17.88.3-1.mga6.x86_64
- drakxtools-backend-17.88.3-1.mga6.x86_64
- drakxtools-curses-17.88.3-1.mga6.x86_64
- harddrake-17.88.3-1.mga6.x86_64
- harddrake-ui-17.88.3-1.mga6.x86_64

On a multi-boot system (mga5, 6 and 7)

in drakboot the first option offerred was "Mageia"

In the Grub2 menu selecting the default "Mageia" entry
correctly launched mga6 with the latest kernel
$ uname -r
4.14.62-desktop-2.mga6

In order to test what would happen after a kernel update I booted an older kernel, 4.14.56 and ran drakboot and re-booted

Selecting the default "Mageia" entry from the grub2 menu launched the newest kernel, 4.14.62

This update looks good to me for mga6-64

On mga6-32

in a dual boot with mga6-64

this update also looks good to me for mga6-32
