test install after updates

Comment 2 AL13N 2011-04-05 23:17:21 CEST

looking with "ps" it seems "urpmi --auto-select --update" is running...

Comment 3 AL13N 2011-04-05 23:20:59 CEST

looking with ifconfig , it seems that nothing is being transferred over network...

Comment 4 AL13N 2011-04-05 23:24:57 CEST

it seems it passes on it's own (nothing updated atm), but then that is possible.

i wonder why it took like 15min

Comment 5 Thierry Vignaud 2011-05-24 10:01:36 CEST

text installer is low priority

@ AL13N

Was this still an issue with Mageia 1 or 1 rc?

likely, afaik nothing happened since mageia startup with text installer as it's low priority.

thinking about this now, i think it's likely that it's the same issue as with the graphical, maybe it's a wrong network setup or whatever, but it doesn't fail, it just silently continues. why it hangs for 15min, perhaps it's some sort of network timeouts.

the problem here is that it should give a message so that i know something is wrong and i can retry or abort or something.

Pinging, because nothing has happened with this report for more than 3 months, it still has the status NEW or REOPENED.

Comment 11 Manuel Hiebel 2012-02-16 17:38:58 CET

(the priority is in the low state)

Comment 12 AL13N 2012-04-07 12:29:46 CEST

it seems now the text installer seems to sort of work, it does give some warnings about updates not working, but maybe that's because the cauldron core/updates isn't doing anything.

the user and password dialog, does give issues with backspace and the display of typed characters, but that's maybe bug 4894

AL13N 2012-04-07 12:30:08 CEST

Severity: critical => major

Comment 13 Marja Van Waes 2012-05-26 13:04:42 CEST

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja
