Hi,

I've got 2 mga installed on my computer, One was still mga7, but today I easily updated to mga8 as: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_8_Rel ... m_Mageia_7 sais. (I used urpmi/cli mode to upgrade)
I switched off energy saving for screen and it did everything, only the 'unlock screen - loginctl unlock-session c2', so I haven't switched off the screen locking, that is not the same option the correct place:


my question is, if I would like to update this new mag8 to mga9beta which MIRRORLIST I can set at

Code: Select all

urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist 'http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.8.$ARCH.list'

?

ty

I've tried to change the 8 to 9 in mirrorlist and it did...



I little problem I found while I'm capturing/editing this image, when I open img in gnview, the "open with" menu starts different app I've chosen. Eg. okular,gimp,kolourpaint in list, but if I choose gimp it opens with okular, if I choose kolourpaint it opens with gimp, ... but it works well in dolphin...

Have a look here:

Ty,

I'm using external package lightzone, it depends on javahelp2 I haven't found in mga9, I've installed rpm from mga8. Now it works

Just one more little, when booting the old mga8 bootscreen visible for a while, then it changes to new mga9 style...

Not all backgrounds etc are updated yet. Coming.

Ty,

I just indicated
I've tried some thing fast, and as I see Libreoffice,Firefox,Gimp,Blender,Digikam,Lightzone,apache,php,mariadb,mdadm(raid),opengl worked well in the fast try.
Now I start living with it, so now comes the compilers and editors and real useage...

Nice job, everything looks working after double version upgrade Ty

I've tried some more things like cmake,qtcreator, apache netbeans with c++ project... I can recompile old codes and the executables worked for me.
I've tried Kdenlive, VLC player and I think works better than last mga8 version. (on mga8 if I pause small mkv created in kdenlive, and rewind/forward on slider it hangs, but in mga9 it works well now)

I close this as solved...
Ty

Just one error I've made...

I've installed some old qt5 libs to compiler older codes, but after a reboot there are missing icons on menu/desktop. Unfortunately I have selected qt5ct too, after I removed and restarted sddm the icons came back...

Steam client and vulcan games:
(e.g. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, quits with the default softrender)

still need to setup:

Code: Select all

export VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.x86_64.json

viewtopic.php?f=23&t=14308

Can't find obs-studio package...
There was a package in mga8, wasn't it?

Obs-studio is in the tainted repository in MGA 9.

ty,

I thought it went to external, but then I'll find there... and that works for me...
(Sometimes I captured my gameplay with it, so not really necessary for me, but if I have to I can install from steam too)

Thank you for the icd tip.
Added to wiki https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Setup_the_gr ... orcing_icd
Also see there the referenced bug.

Ty,

but I think it is not depends on VGA: 'Warthunder (with Nvidia) and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (with Intel)', currently I don't have NVidia card, but Warthunder had the problem with Intel too, and when I had NVidia it was set for Steam Games (e.g.Deus Ex) too...

I think almost everything works as in mga8.

I've copied php7/php8 from mga8, and installed apache-mod-fcgid and set the conf file and drupal8 works with different php version. (viewtopic.php?f=8&t=14324)
(I will compile them with this new environment)

I've started K3B fast, I can add files/folders to project well (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=14848)

I just can say Thanks, it works.

I've realized a difference:
I had started learning bullet collision, but I'm at the start now.

on mga8 (Linux localhost 5.15.110-desktop-2.mga8 #1 SMP Mon May 8 17:24:35 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) with ( gcc version 10.4.0 (Mageia 10.4.0-3.mga8) + bullet 3.08 )
I've just include

Code: Select all

#include <btBulletDynamicsCommon.h>

to my code for bullet.

on mga9 (Linux localhost.localdomain 6.3.5-desktop-1.mga9 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue May 30 19:04:59 UTC 2023 x86_64 GNU/Linux) with ( gcc version 12.3.0 (Mageia 12.3.0-3.mga9) + bullet 3.24)
I have to set BT_USE_DOUBLE_PRECISION before include

Code: Select all

#define BT_USE_DOUBLE_PRECISION 1
#include <btBulletDynamicsCommon.h>


(The difference comes from libBullet*, so they may be compiled with different settings)

All right, it comes from compiling bullet:

Code: Select all

./premake4_linux64 --double gmake
or
./premake4_linux64 gmake

This creates the makefiles with double_precision set or not set...

The two types of libs not crossuseable if I'm rigth. cause segfault and/or ld errors... Which type will be the standard for mga9?

If you have actual questions it would be better to create a new thread for those, instead of mangling all of those in a thread marked as solved which is about a completely different topic.

Ty,

I've just collected everything about upgrading to mga9 beta to one topic. I will create new one if it necessary...

Back to bullet, I prefer the new DOUBLE_PRECISION version, you do no have to edit the code you can add -DBT_USE_DOUBLE_PRECISION param to compiler(g++) instead.
The prev style binaries works if prev style libraries copied with it. eg. libBullet*.so.3.08.
Thanks
