report.bug.xz of such an install

both when installing KDE and when installing KDE + XFCE with the 4th round classical 64 bits iso from a USB stick, when setting up WLAN there is a message that wpa_supplicant  needs to be installed.

It can't be found, though

Confirmed with a default kde installation from classic dvd 64.

When configuring wifi it asks to install wpa_supplicant and then can't find medium Core Release.

wifi for me is a usb one which was plugged in during installation, wired connection also present.
Comment 4 Marja Van Waes 2014-01-28 16:55:04 CET
for me the wlan adapter is an on-board one, lan adapter is present, but was not connected during install

32-bits does *not* have this issue
Comment 6 Marja Van Waes 2014-01-28 17:26:30 CET
Mageia-4-x86_64 wpa_supplicant-2.0 (x86_64)
is listed in the Mageia-4-x86_64-DVD.idx
Comment 7 Dick Gevers 2014-01-28 19:39:25 CET
To complete the picture (not confuse it, I hope): when same iso is installed from a DVD, and in summary wpa_supplicant is selected, this package is installed and can be used to work after install completes.

Mate is also affected, it appears to be DE's without NM.
Comment 9 Colin Guthrie 2014-01-28 19:57:48 CET
So wpa_supplication is a require only of nm and conman. meta-task includes in the rpmstrate for "wireless" class.

drakx-net will pull in the packages too (code path seems unrelated to any recent change).

Does 32-bit install it as part of regular package install or is it pulled in after configuring network in the summary stage?

It looks like it could be an rpmstrate miss on x86_64 or something similar?

>It looks like it could be an rpmstrate miss on x86_64 or something similar?

In x86_64 I did not configure wifi in summary, I only selected wpa_supplicant as needing to run service in summary -> services, so apparently that pulled it in.

HTH

No, the network wasn't configured

I looked at the ddebug.log of the 32-bit install, it seems NM pulls it in

* requiring dnsmasq-base,libnl-route-3.so.200,mobile-broadband-provider-info,modemmanager,ppp[== 2.4.5],wireless-tools,wpa_supplicant for networkmanager-0.9.8.8-2.mga4.i586

which is odd, because it isn't installed

[u@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep manager
xfce4-taskmanager-1.0.0-6.mga4
xfce4-power-manager-1.2.0-8.mga4
[u@localhost ~]$

Did this one end up getting fixed? It smelled like some strange dep issues somewhere which perhaps just magically disappeared :p

sorry for never having replied, RL was too busy.

However, yes, the issue magically disappeared :-)
