Really surprising:

Mga7 chromium version: 89
Mga8 chromium version: 88

this is why chromium rpm is still mga7

It was, and there are only mga8 packages for chromium-browser in the repos:

You should probably check your configured repositories

The error is something like

"curl search failed ...error code 22"
"unable to access distro media (media.cfg not found)"

That's pretty simple, because that URL is incorrect, just try it in your browser. It should be

I have just seen the message about updates that includes rpm, urpmi, kernel, and chromium-browser to version 89. Notice that I've made the update 7 to 8 this morning and only now I received this list of updates ...
It is OK but I don't know what really happened this morning.

Thanks again

Thanks Morgano,

I've seen this updates for kernel, etc, just after adding this correct link.

But then, after updating, I got X server problems:

1: My second monitor was no longer seen;
2: Tried reconfiguring X server with XFdrake and then I got a black screen;
3: Removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf and got my X server with second monitor back but with warnings like this (sorry for the bad translation):

"Problems with the nvidia driver"
It was detected the loaded kernel module exhibition and it is in conflict with the X server driver that is configured to use. Initialization of X server may fail.

4: Well, the X server initialization did not failed but when I try
$ nvidia-settings
(nvidia-settings:132233): Gtk-WARNING **: 18:41:03.489: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:2:33: Failed to import: Error while opening /home/adhefe/.config/gtk-3.0/window_decorations.css: file or directory not found

(nvidia-settings:132233): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 18:41:03.542: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

ERROR: nvidia-settings could not find the registry key file or the X server is not
accessible. This file should have been installed along with this driver at
/usr/share/nvidia/nvidia-application-profiles-key-documentation. The application
profiles will continue to work, but values cannot be prepopulated or validated, and
will not be listed in the help text. Please see the README for possible values and
descriptions.

So, maybe I should describe this in another topic ...

I have to apologize for the last confusing posts in this topic!

The problem is that the last update of MGA 8 has changed something in the way mageia-prime deals with hybrid graphics notebooks.

The first symptom was the lost of the second monitor, then after a few useless tweaks with XFdrake, the X server did not initialized if xorg.conf created by mageia-prime was on /etc/X11/

I've filed bug 28825 about the problem.
