Yes, i know and i have tested every distro after but unfortunately they lack the functionality of version 5.1.

Thank you very much it work, but i wonder how i can download html repo to my own disk, with ftp it would not be a problem.morgano wrote:Welcome to our forum

This repo is really big, it is a pity that at the end not was released mageia 5.2;)morgano wrote:http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/p ... e/distrib/
For example, was lost after Mageia 5.1:morgano wrote:Curiously, what is the functionality you hunt for?
Before i migrate to new version i always test it and preconfigure on virtualbox. This is amazing tool.morgano wrote:You can run Mageia 8, then install i.e VirtualBox
There is no problem with the Mageia-5.1-x86_64-DVD.iso, i have one, the problem is with all updates after. Fortunately, the morgano has found a place where they still are. But thank you.jiml8 wrote:I have Mageia-5.1-x86_64-DVD.iso in my archives...

- possibility to define own format of time and date (short, long etc.),

- in "foder view" widget not work "sorting"->"manual",
- in "system settings"->"application style" "plastik" disappeared, best for small resoltion screen (is condensed),
- python bindings for kde/plasma
- "kss_clock" the best screensaver, simply, pretty... ehh.
This screensaver is from official repo and for over 10 years of use i have not heard of any vulnerabilities in this screensaver.

The last esr firefox work very well on mageia 5.1.sturmvogel wrote:As example if you are still using the browser from Mageia 5.1 than you are already lost.

I tested it (with and without nopti option in kernel) and vulnerability mitigations for Meltdown is present and it doesnt significant slow down processor in my applications.sturmvogel wrote:....you have no mitigation against actual processor vulnerabilities....
This is not true especially if is used oled screen.sturmvogel wrote:... screensaver (which is no longer needed with new monitors)...
Maybe, but is hard do something without hand.sturmvogel wrote:Security should have always a higher priority over design and gimmicks...
Ehh... it works only for clock widget not in other places especially in dolphin.sturmvogel wrote:Right click on your clock->set digital clock-> apperance-> Timeformat-> user defined
BTW... someone know would it be possible to compile the kernel from mageia 8 in magea 5.1?
I am asking because I am thinking of a device for which support was added in kernel 5.4. But this is not much important for now. But thank you.AstorBG wrote:You will have better chances compiling the latest stable upstream kernel from kernel.org which is 4.4.270...
I have looked at this repository http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/p ... e/distrib/ and i see that the last kernel is 4.4.92 and mine is 4.4.114 but... after your post i checked it again and i see that there is a 4.4.114 kernel, I was confused by the sorting. Sorry for my mistake and thank you.doktor5000 wrote:Why do you think in anything is not fully compatible, any particular example ?

nexus wrote:Maybe it would be good practice to release the latest version with all updates before removing version from the servers.
The size of mageia 5 repo (only x64) is about 140GB the siaze of mageia 5.1 iso is about 4GB assuming one version per year we have 140/4=35 years. For me, it makes dubious sense to keep repositories 6 and 6.1 on the server instead of just 6.1 (similarly 7 and 7.1, etc.), they overlap i think (although there may be some reasons for this) and instead use this space for the latest releases of the disappearing versions. Probably the people who prepare iso versions dont do this file by file but have a script so it shouldnt be difficult to prepare a new iso version i think.doktor5000 wrote:... we have limited ressources,
But the big question is why to do an iso for the old version... for future generations, to preserve hard work of many people, perhaps future computer archaeologists and... for me;), perhaps the last man on the earth who use version 5.doktor5000 wrote:... it doesn't make much sense to offer updated install media for an obsolete release...
