Description of problem: When you finish the mageia installation, after creating the user, mageia try to migrate home directory. This step took 15 minutes yesterday on my computer and there is nothing to indicate that there is any progress. I think we should have a progress bar, or maybe a verbose mode more detailed of what happen. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Mageia live KDE (the problem was also in mandriva) How reproducible: I have a seperate home partition of 36 gigabytes almost full. Steps to Reproduce: 1. install mageia on a existing mandriva of mageia distribution 2. restart 3. create user with the same username than the previous one
@ Pierre Sorry for responding so late. There should be a progress bar in steps that take long, you are right. I can't confirm it wasn't there, though, because I only installed the DVD. I must say, I don't remember that this step took so long during DVD-install. I wouldn't be suprised if your almost full /home slowed this step down, nor would I be surprised if a full /home had made this step impossible. Please never use an almost full /home again, unless you want to format that partition first

The question is : how do you reinstall your computer when you have already your partition prepared and a lot of datas inside you home directory. I use all my hard disk of course, I will not let 36 GB free just for reinstallation. I don't want to change username, it's the same everywhere. Usually, I do that to migrate up mageia, or to reinstall it bacause it become totally unstable.(mageia is not so stable). Is it not possible to show progress bar ? I don't think my way to reinstall is so uncommon for a user only on linux.
Your home partition is 36GB and in the description of this bug you say it is almost full. Maybe you should tell how full it is, exactly. Lots of things change on your home partition, a lot of settings in the hidden files are changed, you need a reasonable bit of space to facilitate that. I'm wondering whether your Mageia being unstable, has something to do with a too full /home

I use almost 30 on 36GB usually. 105 000 files. is it too much ? BTW, the migration seems to work, it's just very slow...
(In reply to comment #4) > I use almost 30 on 36GB usually. > 105 000 files. > > is it too much ? No, that's not too much. But something must be wrong, I don't understand why Mageia is instable on your system. Did you go to the forum or file a bug report about the instability issue?
Hi, It was just a general comment, not something related to that point. Sometimes, KDE or others software are just too young and not really finished for advanced user... I filed some other bugs about that.
When I said advanced user, it was the wrong word.. more daily user than advanced.
