Media (repositories) enabled by default after install

Postby JY » Jun 16th, '23, 10:55

Hi!
I tested installing the latest beta with the full iso (not a live DE).

After install, actually i had to click in order to enable the correct 'medias' as only live media was ticked on the installed system.

That could be quite a bump for a first time basic user...

Maybe it could be great to enable all the correct Media from install?

Your description is unclear as the full installer does not contain any "live" medias.

Btw there is already a much more precise bugreport: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16002

Hi!

Sorry yes my description was unclear.

Well the full dvd had only "core" as repository ticked.
and install from live dcd only "live".

I did dismiss updating the system during install process.

Anyhow i think many basic users like me can end with the necessary medias not enabled after install, currently, weather they install from full iso or live iso

On a fresh install, Mageiawelcome pops up and the second item is media sources, the third is updating.

But yes, automatically setting media sources may be good.
Have been a bit problematic until now at least for some users as me a,s the default downloader do not work with nearest mirror or my network.
