Welcome message
Welcome to OpenMandriva and our forum. This forum is for users of OpenMandriva Linux operating systems.
OpenMandriva forums are mainly users helping other users.
You can talk to our developers at OpenMandriva Chat.
Users with problems need to read How to get better results when posting about problems before reporting any issues or problems. The article is not too long and Do Read.
When a new user has a problem please search the OMLx documentation. OpenMandriva wiki, Forum Resource Guide and the “Search” function of the forum.
If you don’t find what you are looking for, try an Internet search. A lot can be found in the documentation or forum posts for other Linux distributions. If the user finds something written for another distro but has a question, ask in OpenMandriva Chat.
For serious technical problems and package/feature requests please submit a bug report here.
Note: We are a small group. All contributors and developers are unpaid volunteers.
You can make OpenMandriva grow and improve by getting involved.
Any help with testing will be appreciated, whether you are a technical expert or not. The more people and hardware we can get involved, the better we can do OMLx releases and packaging. We also do a lot of testing on virtual machines. Developers tend to use Qemu, most user-level testers use VirtualBox..
Some suggestions that we hope will be useful:
We ask that problems reported in the forum or in a bug report be limited to one problem per thread or report.
We suggest that if your problem reported in the forum or in OM-Chat is not resolved within a few days, please file a proper bug report.
If you have not already done so, scroll through the “Big Warning” at the top of this page and read the information or use the links provided.
Before reporting any problems, read this.
We are simply and respectfully trying to make people aware that as a very small group we are volunteering, without remuneration, our time, expertise, etc, to help you.
