Description psyca 2017-03-14 23:08:18 CET
Description of problem:
Theres no question if i want to add online media (repositorys) before starting the installation.

The errata says e.g. ( https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_6_Errata#Upgrading_a_system_that.27s_received_updates_since_the_iso_was_released ) that you need to activate online media, because it could occur errors if you have newer Mageia 5(.1) (packages) than are available on the Mageia 6 isos.

The menu : http://doc.mageia.org/installer/5/en/content/add_supplemental_media.html is missing.
Comment 1 Marja Van Waes 2017-03-15 11:01:43 CET
Ah, of course it's missing during an upgrade :-(

I've fixed the wrong wiki advice.

It would still be nice to have the "Media Selection (Configure Supplemental Installation Media)" screen available during install, though, even if it won't help when wlan doesn't work.

Comment 2 Marja Van Waes 2017-05-01 09:12:15 CEST
Bug #20750, comment #8 convinced me that this is a regression, so increasing from enhancement request to release blocker.

I understand now that the original wiki advice, to activate online media while upgrading, was made because that did really work, as LpSolit reports in Bug #20750, comment #8

However he also reports that the http://doc.mageia.org/installer/5/en/content/add_supplemental_media.html screen no longer appears in normal installs, either.

Btw, we need /root/drakx/report.bug.xz from a 6RC install (and maybe also from an upgrade) where that screen was skipped.

Severity: enhancement => critical

screenshot of the installer, Mageia 5

I just tested with the Mageia 5 DVD, and the screen to ask remote media is present....

... and then you can see new media listed. So clearly a regression in the Mageia 6 installer.
Comment 5 André DESMOTTES 2017-05-01 18:47:20 CEST
I confirm, the add media screen was present with mga 5 and isn't any longer with Mga6, in both situations clean install or upgrade.

Please say so in your commit chlog, that makes changes easier to understan by other & history easier to read.
You can use sg like "regression introduced in commit 560f9ca9" and one will get a nice link in gitk (sadly not in tig or gitg though)
Just my 2 cents
