99% of my problems were related to this iso. snapshot.20250420.3876-plasma6x11.x86_64.iso
I don’t want to sound rude, entitled or anything, but putting RC release as the release on main site under big download button is not the greatest idea.
I really do not want to sound like a total hell of a dipstick knob.
But what testing, iso has been doing under main official download button for stable release on a main site in a first place.
If I knew it is testing in a first place, I would not even dare to write a single post.
I would wait and took a different approach to the issues I have had.
Testing does not equal stable, stable does not equal testing
Take care People
PS OML Is great system.I have never used a better one.
It is pointless to hurry up things just before finish line
ISO build #3876 is not even in the list (anymore?)
We build a lot of isos before release for one or the other reason: fix last minute bugs, add some improvements, and so on.
Does it mean that they are all good/Final? Of course not.
Tutorials on how to switch ROME to Rock, how to upgrade 5.0 to 6.0 have been published soon after the official release for reasons…
Not sure to understand.
Where? Can you provide more info or the direct link?
The DOWNLOAD button opens this page
The SourceForge green buttons will download the iso uploaded to sf.
I edited “Here come ROME and Rock (5.0)” to “Here come ROME and Rock (6.0)” at the same time of official announcement fwiw.
you downloaded the ISO from the ABF days before the announcement. It did not come from the download button on the https://www.openmandriva.org/ page. Granted, you may not have known it was testing, but you installed it. You even stripped Plasma out of it and replaced it with XFCE.
Hopefully, you got it all sorted out now. If not, just ask for some help. We will be glad to give you a hand.
EDIT:
I will see if there is a way to get a note on the ABF Product Build Lists page stating that this is not the approved download area and builds placed here are testing and may or may not fail. We had no way to know that you did not want to help with the testing of this ISO.
Everything is peachy now. Yup i downloaded from abf then from link provided by forum boot Christmas edition and then from a button on site all that iso s where weird.
Like said, I have no issue right now. System as is always a crazy reliable and solid but last 72 or little more than that were nightmare
Maybe I had a brain fog nevertheless that was all rough and i really used main downland button at some point, and i did get an iso with some random numbers in its name.
PS if I offend anyone then I’m deeply sorry. I didn’t write all of that to bring disturbance, or to upset anyone. I was a juggling of iso images at some point
Let me show you what i did and why from start to finish
And please excuse my horrifying English
It is 3:02 minutes video put on some free video host site. Just o not spam storage on forum server
Take care people, have a great day.
Lesson for me - do not install any system at 3 AM in the morning or you may and ap in a weird place under the sourforce button the green one we had old stable or rome i cant remember now which exactly it was
@grafi, I am sorry you downloaded a testing version. To be able to have everything ready for the release, things have to get pre-staged before the announcement is made.
If it’s any consolation, your feedback helped to fail that ISO and get it rebuilt.
By the way, your English is quite good. I had no problem understanding any of it.
It is all ok and great. I could wait few days, then the whole situation would not even have place.
I have few tinny glitches. But they definitely are present because i stripped a system of all kde and few other things. Debian would fall apart after such huge surgery. OML have just one tinny glitch in shotcut, that may be a shotcut problem, not a OML problem.
So at that point, I’m more than amazed with a system in the best possible way.
None other system would survive that kind of stripping down operation without manual package pinning and package holding. Not to mention a ton of config edits.
Is ISO #3896 not #3876. It is the correct ISO and it works well for me. It is the just released 6.0 Plasma6 X11 ISO. I have the Wayland companion ISO #3898 installed on my laptop and will be installing #3896 in VBox VM for the second time soon as I get some time.
It is just to make sure that others realize that when they click the button, they will get the right ISO. The button is set to grab the newest version in the folder. When you saw 6.0 a few days ahead of the announcement, you thought you were getting 6.0 ahead of time and you didn’t get what you thought you were getting. You got the latest testing version and that has been replaced by the release version. You had no way to know.
When you were complaining about it, we just thought you were testing, just like the rest of us were. We had no reason to think otherwise. It happened. Let’s just move on.
I’m just glad to see you got everything working.
