[schultz]

So, after 8 months! of development and so so many bugs and fixes, it's finally here.

You can read the full announcement here - http://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/03/06/th ... cing-sta2/

It has been up on the mirrors for a while, however, they are still catching up, so you might have more luck downloading with torrents for now, they are available on the download page here - http://www.mageia.org/6/

Happy testing!

Won't Mageia 6 support SiS video cards? I can't use the graphical interface of this version of Mageia 6.

I know that it's not the final version, but I am still worried.

My video card:

Code: Select all

VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter

As I am asking about hardware support, most of the Mandriva-based distros (Mageia and PCLinuxOS) natively support my Wifi controller, will it still be supported in Mageia 6?

Code: Select all

Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY

Why don't you just try it out?

Why don't you just try it out?

I've tested Mageia 6 sta2 and I couldn't start the graphical interface.

Which driver was used, what did /var/log/Xorg.0.log or the regular journald log contain? Nothing showing up here on the crystal ball, so others also won't be able to tell why it didn't work on your system.
