Hi Jorma, Thank you for having taken the needed time to report this issue! This bug was filed against Mageia 5. Did it get fixed? If so, please change its status to RESOLVED - FIXED. If it didn't, then we regret that we weren't able to fix it in Mageia 5. Mageia 5 has officially reached its End of Life on December 31st, 2017 https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/11/07/mageia-5-eol-postponed/ It continued to get limited extended support since then, but that support has now ended, too. As a result we are closing this bug report as OLD. If you still see this issue in a newer Mageia version, then please reopen this report and say so. ==> If you didn't reset your password after February 2018, then you'll need to reset it here https://identity.mageia.org/forgot_password to be able to log in and comment in this report. <== Note that we are a community distribution, which means that we, the Mageia users, make Mageia together in our free time.
