Comment 1 Thomas Andrews 2015-03-04 01:31:31 CET

Confirmed on real hardware during an install from a DVD-RW: Fujitsu D1711 motherboard, Sempron 3100+ processor, Geforce 6200OC AGP video card. Server kernel had been installed.

Not seen using same DVD-RW in a Dell Dimension E310, P4 processor and onboard Intel graphics, where the desktop kernel had been installed.

Probably something with the alternatives stuff Luc added in the last update.

That's not an installer issue but a packaging issue.

Component: Installer => RPM Packages

Comment 4 Luc Menut 2015-03-04 11:44:35 CET

Please, could you attach ddebug.log from these installs.

yep, it's probably only a missing
Requires(post): update-alternatives
in mageia-kde4-config-common. I forgot to add it.
But I prefer to verify with ddebug.log.

Thanks William
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.DBf0WZ: line 4: update-alternatives: command not found
%post(mageia-kde4-config-common-5-0.20150204.2.mga5.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 127
mageia-kde4-config-common-5-0.20150204.2.mga5.noarch
and update-alternatives is installed later.

This confirms that it's due to the missing "Requires(post): update-alternatives" in common.

Fixed in mageia-kde4-config-5-0.20150204.3.mga5.

Hardware: i586 => All
