Got this when i did testing in a virtual machine too. Was hoping it wouldn’t be a issue once installed on my hardware.
That error occurs because 4.0 repositories have not been created yet. Currently we are using cooker repos. I have to base what I say here on x86_64 install as I don’t have a Ryzen box. The repo files are in /ect/yum.repos.d. Edit the one called (for me) openmandriva-x86_64.repo and change the first to entries from enabled=1 to enabled=0. I think for znver1 the repo file would be openmandriva-znver1.repo but am not sure. You want to end up with it looking something like this:
Sweet, no more errors with that! Unfortunately i guess I’ll have to continue relying on flatpak’s for my software as i don’t have access to steam or much else. (steam flatpak annoys me :/)
Steam is available but I’m not a gamer, the @AngryPenguin knows far more about Steam and gaming and multimedia apps in general than I. I do know you need to enable a couple of the i686 repos to install steam.
The Plasma theme I’m using is K10ne-blue mainly because I like an opaque black menu panel. Otherwise my desktop is just a colorful default Breeze, in other words nothing all that special.
The repos and welcome menu will definitely need a little work. Speaking of which, where could i apply to help out? This is looking to be an extremely promising release (especially with the rolling alternative) despite it’s teething troubles.
I learned a few things myself. I’m trying to re-write that bit about editing repos but I won’t finish it tonight. But for you for now to have all OpenMandriva Cooker repos available for znver1:
At #openmandriva-cooker on Freenode IRC. That is the developer/QA/contributor channel. We also have #openmandriva for user problems or conversation. I’ll also make a point to let people know this weekend you have asked to be contributor.
We do look forward to your contributions. And I can assure you there is much to be done. I believe@bero is working on a repo manager and I know @rugyada is working on OM-Welcome and OM-Control-Center.
