Description Derek Jennings 2012-05-29 12:41:47 CEST

Description of problem:

It is clear from reports in the forum that some Mga1 users have had difficulty doing an online upgrade to Mga2 because they have hardware requiring non-free drivers/firmware, and mgaapplet-upgrade-helper only enables Core Repositories. So when the upgrade has finished the user is left without working hardware.


Since the user has already indicated their preference for using Non-Free or Tainted repositories I believe the correct action for mgaapplet-upgrade-helper should be to enable those repositories if they were previously enabled.

Alternatively the user should be asked if they want those repositories enabled before the upgrade starts.



This bug applies to Cauldron, Mageia 2, and Mageia 1 


Upgrading using the DVD poses similar problems, but I suppose that should be another bug report.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mgaonline-2.77.33-1.mga2


Steps to Reproduce:
1. set up a vbox with Mageia1 and all updates
2. When prompted by mgaapplet start an online upgrade
3.  Observe only Core repositories are enabled in /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg
