You set the bug report status to ASSINGED, are you working on a patch/fix?

No, as you noticed, that was the status right after I entered it.

Can the whole log be attached?
What environment was used?
Comment 6 Frank Griffin 2011-03-30 13:28:09 CEST
Is there an available log this early on ?

My environment was an HTTP install of x86_64 from a local cauldron mirror.  It was a standard desktop system with a PS/2 mouse and keyboard accessed through a KVM.  The install has worked on this hardware since forever.

I would not say this is a fix, this is an ugly workaround as a patch in the package...
A proper fix is still needed

pinging. because nothing happened to this report since more than 3 months ago, and it still has the status NEW or REOPENED


@ Pascal
Please set status to ASSIGNED if you think this bug was assigned correctly. If for work flow reasons you can't do that, then please put OK on the whiteboard instead.

Comment 12 Pascal Terjan 2012-04-11 17:16:51 CEST
Hmm forgot about that one. I'll try to have a look tomorrow.
Comment 13 Marja Van Waes 2012-05-26 13:03:27 CEST
Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

> drakx is frozen for mga2

That is true. Now putting (MGA2) on the whiteboard, only to make clear this isn't some old cauldron bug that was only valid long before Mageia 2 stable (or in this case even before Mageia 1 stable), but that it was still seen in Mageia 2. It doesn't count as setting version to "2"

Whiteboard: (none) => (MGA2)

This has been effectively fixed for ages, but I'm not sure the solution is the ultimate one desired (based on comments above).  It needs a judgment call on where it goes from here.
