Description Dave Hodgins 2015-04-07 20:34:35 CEST
With online media added to the dvd, or using the boot.iso, selecting just
the plasma desktop, as the only desktop results in an installation that
doesn't show any output, at least in vb.

At this point, I think the best option would be to not show the plasma
"desktop" as an option in stage 2.

Comment 1 Manuel Hiebel 2015-04-07 21:10:56 CEST
yep should be removed as it also cannot work if installed with kde
Comment 2 Jüri Ivask 2015-04-08 06:15:54 CEST
Well, it has been working OK - at least with real hardware...
I even created an according posting in the forum currently at the thread "The magician suggests...": https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=9002

Also attaching your /root/drakx/report.bug.xz and relevant errors from journalctl output would be nice...

i would be in favor of not showing plasma for mga5 ( and only allow people to install via urpmi if they want ).

We will work a lot on plasma for mga6 and mga5 updates
Comment 6 Thierry Vignaud 2015-04-08 12:12:38 CEST
Help yourself: just remove it from SOURCES/compssUsers.pl in meta-task
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/meta-task/current/SOURCES/compssUsers.pl?revision=667077&view=markup

Source RPM: task-plasma5 => meta-task, task-plasma5

Comment 7 Anne Nicolas 2015-04-08 20:44:16 CEST
Thanks Nicolas for the input. Fixed in meta-task-5-24.mga5

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
