mga6 sta2(?) virtualbox - screen goes wonky during install

[ca-on-adam]

Hello,

Using the nonfree network 64bit install. It says "Mageia 6 sta2" on the sidebar. During the install process, the screen will go black at around 10 minutes remaining. When you move the mouse, it starts to uncover the image again, except it looks like
(or view the attached image file).

As you will see, the installation was able to proceed beyond package installation, so the installer itself is still working fine. It is just the visual that is wonky.

Hi ca-on-adam,

If you have not already done so, please create a bug report for this, if after a search, no other report has been made.
Attach your virtualbox report.bug.xz. for this install to the report.
It may be helpful to attach also "lspcidrake -v" output of your host (if it is Mageia also).

Please, then put a link in this thread to your report, so that others that are also affected may add to your report if they so desire.

You might also like to report your findings here: https://pad.riseup.net/p/mageia6-sta2.

best regards

Oh, I didn't know that sta2 isos were given to qa-testers already. What I will do is run those installers on the same machine to see if this problem shows up with them. I am aware that the network installer is frequently changing and is difficult to isolate bugs. So I will only report a bug with the network installer if it doesn't show up on the other isos.

I have this problem too can confirm it,best would be making bug against drakx-installer-stage2 and let our devs look it.
