Depends on: 15653 => (none)

Comment 2 Martin Whitaker 2015-05-24 10:49:21 CEST 
N.B. Just noticed I made a typo - that should be 2D acceleration, not 3D.
Comment 3 Rémi Verschelde 2015-06-02 11:35:59 CEST 
We'll have to do with an errata entry for this one.

Whiteboard: (none) => FOR_ERRATA

Rémi Verschelde 2015-06-02 11:36:07 CEST

Priority: release_blocker => High

Comment 4 Lewis Smith 2015-06-10 12:43:27 CEST 
Added to Errata 'Hardware Issues' as "Possible boot failure from DVD with some Radeon hardware". Whiteboard changed to IN_ERRATA.

Whiteboard: FOR_ERRATA => IN_ERRATA

Comment 5 Lewis Smith 2015-06-16 11:07:02 CEST 
Confirm that this problem persists in the Final**n Gnome Live x64 DVD dated 14 June, on real EFI hardware with AMD/ATI/Radeon video:
- Booting from DVD, Live -> "Oh No! something has gone wrong"
- Booting from USB, Live runs OK.
(I erroneously reported this on Bug 16032 rather than this one).

I hope the IN_ERRATA Whiteboard status does preclude sorting this.

I don't understand what you mean. Or you mean't doesn't?

Sorry Samuel, you are right! Re-stating my Comment 5:
"I hope the IN_ERRATA Whiteboard status does *not* preclude sorting this".
Comment 8 Martin Whitaker 2015-06-16 22:27:17 CEST 
I did spend some time trying to debug this, but I couldn't find any difference in the system configuration when booted from DVD compared to when booted from USB. The only thing I can postulate is that the difference in read speed from DVD means system services start in a different order - but even then I can't see how that would lead to a dynamic linking failure.
Comment 9 Martin Whitaker 2015-06-17 00:47:19 CEST 
The same problem occurs when using legacy boot and selecting the vesa xdriver - then it fails when trying to load the swrast_dri.so module, but with the same

  undefined symbol: _glapi_tls_Dispatch

message. Also fails the same way on my laptop with Optimus graphics (when trying to load the i915_dri.so module).

These tests done with the latest Mageia-5-LiveDVD-GNOME-x86_64-DVD, dated Sun Jun 14 00:45:00 CEST 2015.

Now I can answer :)
It does not preclude sorting this for Mageia 6, nor improving the errata entry with more relevant information if possible. However as you know there's very little chance at this stage that we can add more fixes in the ISOs. Hope it answers the question.
Comment 11 Martin Whitaker 2015-06-24 10:05:17 CEST 
See also bug 16088, and try the workaround:

 - boot to "Oh no" screen
 - Ctrl-Alt-F2 to tty login
 - log in as root
 - type
     ldconfig
     systemctl restart dm.service

Tested Mageia 5 DVD GNOME live 64x (from DVD).

 Oh no ! still there. here the offending part of the log file:

The workaround by Martin (thanks !):
boot to "Oh no" screen

 - log in as root
 - type
     ldconfig
     systemctl restart dm.service

DOES work

In this case the Martin workaround (see my previous message) DOES NOT work: I get a white screen with the Mageia welcome, but nothing else (no arror mouse etc, and the screen appears to be frozen.

Is this bug valid in Mageia 6?

I think this can be closed as one of those things which vanish with progress. It must have related to Mageia 5 Gnome Live DVD (literally), but the "Oh No!" problems which bedevilled that was largely resolved by its eventual release. Nor did it re-surface in 5.1 (although I doubt whether I tried the Gnome Live for that).
It has not been a problem with Mageia 6. I might try installing that from DVD to confirm, but do not await that.
Comment 18 Alberto Girlando 2017-01-11 08:28:00 CET 
I also think it can be closed, I had no problems (so far) with Mageia 6
Comment 19 Samuel Verschelde 2017-01-11 09:22:04 CET 
Closing then

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