Description Jeffrey Bruton 2012-12-10 07:56:10 CET

Description of problem:
Start with a working box with M2 installed and the Media Sources list populated with a Full Set and selection on the list user defined.  Perform an Upgrade using any M3-A3 install media.  Result is Media Sources list is completely deleted and appears as if from a fresh install with only the install CD media on the list and selected.  Upgrades can not alter user defined parameters (without notice and ability to opt out).  This is a prime example of data loss and is unacceptable. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Mageia 3 Alpha 3

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install M2 off any install media.
2.  Use MMC to download Full Set of Media Sources and user configure.
3.  Upgrade using any M3-A3 install media.
4.  Reboot after upgrade is finished and log into DE.
5.  Use MMC to view Media Sources list and notice list is empty except for install media.

I'm not sure this can be release_critical

CC: (none) => thierry.vignaud
Source RPM: Any M3 A3 Install Media => drakx-installer-stage2
Whiteboard: (none) => 3alpha3

Comment 2 Anne Nicolas 2013-03-13 14:50:37 CET

This is not release critical, it can be easily fixed after upgrade (even if this should be fixed)

This is one thing which brings the most negative comments for mdv/mga, the need to manually configure sources and eg. the dvd being the only media after install/upgrade.

I don't feel we should be reducing priority on this.

Remains relevant.
