It is really weird! After rebooting, I could launch drakconf again but crashed after I try to manage packages,
$ drakconf

I still cannot launch drakconf. Digging around I’ve found the mageia bug 3782 that relates the problem to a change in the hostname and, yes, the hostname here has changed! As in the bug 3782, I don’t know where and how this change happened!
It is confirmed! drakconf launching problem is related to changes in the hostname. After changing the hostname again to the default one, drakconf can be launched again.
I’m afraid I can’t. I use to read new messages in this forum in a daily basis mainly looking for tips/experience that helps me working with this distribution. Occasionally I feel I can help somebody else and in these cases I try to share my own experience. But I cannot have a commitment …
In a post above, I said that after installation of nvidia, sddm stopped to work. I did something wrong in fact.
This is a nvidia optimus laptop. It has an intel graphic card (the main graphical support) and a nvidia graphical card for gpu demanding applications.
Probably, the point is that after installation of nvidia drivers, intel graphics was set apart and the graphical support was off. Whatever the proper explanation to the problem, I solve it calling XFdrake to reconfigure the intel graphic card and marking it to start at boot.
Would you be interested to join QA team btw? People like you are gold…
