Dear Mrs Hannah,

Thanks for taking the trouble to file a bug report.

Unfortunately, you are using a very old version of Mageia, that's no longer maintained since November 2013
http://blog.mageia.org/en/2013/11/21/farewell-mageia-2/

That means that since then, there were no more security updates for your computer, and that your computer is very vulnerable now.

Please install Mageia 5, the currently supported version, as soon as possible.

It is not possible to upgrade directly from Mageia 2 to Mageia 5, it is better to do a clean install.

I know too little about security to know whether it is safe to keep all of your /home partition while doing a fresh classic install, or not. Please (especially if you're using flash or java, or if you do not know whether you use them) go to the forums https://forums.mageia.org/en/ for better advise on that than I can give.

Closing this report as invalid, because Mageia 2 is no longer maintained

Kind regards,
Marja
