Works for me on both mga2 & cauldron (x86_64): - clicking the "set up autologin" icon results in displaying the autologin settings - clicking the "set up boot system" icon results in displaying the boot loader settings

No, Thierry, you need to type drakxconf in root console. The bug is not present with drakconf.
Why do you run it directly? That's a internal simple wrapper that I wrote which is run by mcc when in text mode...

Workarounded in SVN by preventing using it in graphical mode.
Thanks, but the workaround is not correct. Since the point is that selecting 'Boot loader' should give the good option, whether in graphical or console mode. Basically, the use case is: when X fails for a reason or another, using drakxconf in console mode is a normal thing to do. It's how I discovered the bug. And it's definitely linked with bug 7160 where, without X, typing drakboot in console mode makes sense, but without the expected behaviour of configuring the boot loader.
This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life. Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life.
