isobuild Can you give some more details about your system? Like, if you already have a Mageia install, the output of lspcidrake -v yeah Marja i am not installing just running from USB on already installed M7b2, which is on my hard drive. I can't do lspcidrake -v command because either the <grub> screen is... or the "initrd" one's.... i tried again today , the Mageia Main screen shows up, right mouse click functions, but no folder or the palette is visible.... What exactly do you mean by "RAM doesn't load properly"? Please answer always/sometimes/never to the following questions: 1. Do you see the initial GRUB2 boot menu? 2. Can you select an entry in the boot menu? 3. Do you see the boot splash screen (bubbling cauldron)? 4. Do you see the language, time, and keyboard selection dialogues? 5. Do you see anything displayed after leaving the keyboard selection dialogue? 6. Does pressing Ctrl-Alt-F3 after leaving the keyboard selection dialogue switch to a tty login prompt, and if so, can you log in as root? You can run lspcidrake from any working Mageia system on that machine - it doesn't need to be from the Live system. CC:

mageia Yeah Mr. Martin Whitaker i see initial grub2, boot menu selection,splash screen,keyboard selection dialogues. Yeah i can login to tty3 after pressing Ctrl-Alt-F3 and also login as root.. Hi Martin, what's after that …. I couldn't see the folders and panels but the short keys like alt-f2f makes the terminal work and thereby the apps like Firefox and text edit ... Everything is being done in a live-usb system. ... Try adding the option "nowayland" to the boot command line in the GRUB2 boot menu. Summary:

GNOME desktop is not displayed correctly on some [unknown] hardware Got it solved. I was using secondary display. So i didn't configure for desktop settings. Now it was just a simple configuration time consuming effort. But the catch is that the same secondary display didn't err when i was using the Plasma or Xfce. Thanks for your precious time... on plasmaM7b2 there is initial grub2 screen ,choice of os, but afyter that the cauldron buubles don't show up.it keeps on restarting.Its HP notebook. on plasmaM7b2 there is initial grub2 screen ,choice of os, but afyter that the cauldron buubles don't show up.it keeps on restarting.Its HP notebook.

I've just tested a dual-monitor setup. The default for Xfce is to mirror the displays (i.e. display the same content on both screens). The default for GNOME is to extend the desktop. In that case, if you right click on the desktop and select "display settings", you can change which display is the primary display. I believe this is working as the GNOME developers intended, so closing this bug as invalid. Please open a new bug report for your other problem - it gets very confusing if you mix different bugs in the same report. Also, *please* provide more details - I'm not a mindreader ;-) Status:
