Bug 30257

Strange. I installed the 64bit version on two different machines and they startet right away. Could you provide the output from console? Maybe there are some additional messages which could help to nail down the problem on your machine.

Ever confirmed: 1 => 0
Status: NEW => UNCONFIRMED

@kalagani
Is this on two separate machines, 64 & 32 bit? Or two VMs on a 64-bit box?
To describe the systems briefly, please post the outputs of
 $inxi -MSD
Wondering whether the dektop matters re previous comment.

I apparently already had 'fio-3.24-2.mga8', and added 'kdiskmark-2.1.0-1.mga8'.
Running 64-bit real hardware from terminal under LXDE:
 $ kdiskmark
showed no further terminal output, but did indeed pop a window saying:
"KDiskMark
No FIO was found. Please install FIO before using KDiskMark"
exactly as reported. Same result from menu.
May try under Plasma.

This application is nursed by wally, so assigning to you. Ask for anything you think might help.

Regarding Lewis comment: I testet it on two Plasma machines.

Just re-tried this under Plasma, and the reported error occurs; from menu or terminal - no terminal ouput at all.

@Lewis Smith
yes, I am launching on 2 separates machines, not in VMs!

@sturmvogel, 
like I have a third 64 bits PC under Plasma, I installed the kdiskmark and his dependency fio
rpm -qa --last |grep -E "kdisk|fio"
kdiskmark-2.1.0-1.mga8.x86_64                 ven. 08 avril 2022 11:16:58
fio-3.24-2.mga8.x86_64                        ven. 08 avril 2022 11:16:57

Then launching it is NOK with same error dialog box
"KDiskMark
No FIO was found. Please install FIO before using KDiskMark"

Thanks for all the system information - especially the variety of hardware & desktops.
I started to wonder whether the error occurs with >1 disc: your 32-bit box (OK) has 1, the two 64-bit boxes (not OK) >1.
Do not know for sturmvogel, but alas, my 64-bit box (not OK) has just 1:

kdiskmark-2.1.0-1.mga8
fio-3.24-2.mga8

So we are stuck with the fault occuring often, but not always; and it does not depend on the number of disks nor desktop. I found nothing with an Internet search.

Summary: kdiskmark not run in 64 bits while run in 32 bits => kdiskmark often does not run in 64 bits "No FIO found", while runs in 32 bits
CC: lewyssmith => (none)

I could not recreate the problem. On two x86-64 and one aarch64 systems.

Hi,
I discovered the difference between 64 and 32 bits when I wanted to upgrade an old PC with a 32 bit processor, Mageia8/Cinnamon 32 on an IDE HD.
As the motherboard was able to do it, I changed the processor to 64bit and installed Mageia8/XFCE in 64bit on a SATA HD.
On this new configuration I also have the same error

on the old PC now with MGA8/XFCE 64 bits on a SATA DD
(previously MGA8/Cinnamon 32 bits on a IDE DD like in Comment 5)
