Known issue: The ISO’s in post 1 contain kernel-release-desktop-5.10.1. VirtualBox hosting does not work with this kernel version. There is a patch to correct this for kernel-release-desktop-5.10.2. New packages are first published to main/testing repo. Users can install new kernel version with:
Note: There has been no issue reported with kernel-release-desktop-5.10.1 on VirtualBox guest systems. The above issue has been specific to VirtualBox hosting only.
Another issue reported: One person has reported an issue with the ISO’s not booting on Acer Predator laptop with AMD Vega 10 graphics. This issue is under investigation. There have been no reports of any issue with other AMD graphic hardware.
@Colin reported this issue is fixed with kernel-release-desktop-5.10.2-2. That kernel version is now available in Cooker main/release and Rolling main/testing repos.
1 Does iso burns on usb stick -> N/A
2 Does the grub/boot screen appears -> YES
3 Does the options in grub/boot screen works -> YES
4 Does ISO boot to multi-user.target -> N/A
5 Does ISO boot to graphical.target -> N/A
6 Does autologin for live user works -> YES
7 Does default graphical desktop shows after autologin -> YES
8 Does default graphical desktop is useable (basics, like menu, file manager, web browser) -> YES
9 Does ISO boot in VirtualBox -> YES
10 Does ISO install in VirtualBox -> YES
I’m thinking that the purpose here is to get a test procedure and checklist that we can actually get users to use.
So in that spirit I submit a slightly revised Checklist and am applying it to the ISO’s # 3674 x86_64 and # 3673 znver1
Checklist
(Very basic and simple) For QA and testers:
Do md5 and sha1 checksums match >>> Yes, Yes
Does iso burn to usb stick >>> Yes, Yes
Does the grub2 boot screen appear >>> Yes, Yes
Do the options in grub2 menu screen work >>> Yes, Yes
Does ISO boot to multi-user.target >>> Yes, Yes
Does ISO boot to graphical.target >>> Yes, Yes
Does autologin for live user work >>> Yes, Yes
Does default graphical desktop show after autologin >>> Yes, Yes
Is default graphical desktop useable (basics, like menu, file manager, web browser) (Better if you can check that everything you can think of on the 'Live" desktop at lease opens or functions) >>> Yes, Yes
Does ISO install on your hardware >>> Yes, Yes
Does ISO boot in VirtualBox >>> Yes, Yes
Does ISO install in VirtualBox >>> I did not do this yet. (Experience with recent similar ISO’s suggest this will not be a problem.)
And then:
Use your installed system as you normally would. Check everything you can think of that would be important or essential to you. Report any issues. Issues other users can help with report on Forum. Major issues or issues that need a developer to resolve need to have a Bug Report.
Reminder: Forum is essentially users helping other users, more technical or difficult issue need a Bug Report.
Explanation for # 5 Does ISO boot to multi-user.target > This is Grub2 Menu>Troubleshooting>Start OpenMandriva Lx live in CLI mode You will see a login prompt, use live to login as live or root to login as root (no password)
Explanation for # 6 Does ISO boot to graphical.target > If the answer to #'s 6 and 7 are Yes this is obviously also Yes
Explanation for # 9 Is default graphical desktop useable > Different users find things in this category that others miss. Seems like someone in our contributor group always finds things I miss.
Any other explanations needed will supply upon request.
