Mageia forum

I just got my lenevo y510p

I was able to install mageia 3 on the ssd internal drive.

The system does not see dual boot

But I can still dual boot with the lenevo boot manager.

My main problem is that during the mageia boot the system hangs.
I
I only install the NVIDIA driver and not the intel on board drivers

Any suggestion?

I tried Mageia 4 alpha 3 and it even worse.
The screen reset

I can deal with a hang...

Any ideas

Sorry, but I don't understand your problem.
In the first post you write "My main problem is that during the mageia boot the system hangs."
In the second: "I can deal with a hang..."

What's the issue at all? Where does it hang exactly?

I ment that Mageia 4 I get a system reset... This is hard to trouble shoot...

In Mageia 3 the systems hangs at Authorize Manager.
It stops.

Any ideas?

You mean Starting Authorization Manager... ?

That would be polkit.

Can you try a failsafe boot and then run as root

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd | tee polkit.log

and post the contents of polkit.log here?

Ok this is the result I got

I tried to re-install and do updates...

I still get the same message after

Any idea

Which installation media did you use? Did you check the md5sum of it?

I used a DVD
I did check the md5sum

I also tried with letting the updates and without the updates

Which DVD did you use? 32bit or 64 bit, LiveDVD with KDE or GNOME or FreeDVD, 32 or 64bit?

This is the link I used

This is a strange problem. after all

What does the Autherize Manager do exactly?

Can I pay anyone to fix this?

Hi, I have the exact same problem. In the boot process it just hang after displaying the line "[OK] Started Authorization Manager.". It's what I can see in the boot.log file. On the screen I just get the Mageia logo full screen. The tty1 is then locked and I need to switch to another tty to be able to log in. When I check in the log file boot.log I can also see these messages.

nvidia-current (319.17-1.mga3.nonfree): Already installed on this kernel.

The command cat /etc/issue give me this.

The command cat /var/log/boot.log | head -n3 give me this.
Welcome to Mageia 3!

My first guess would be that it has something to do with the graphical driver.

Thanks in advance for the help!

If you select failsafe boot from the boot menu, how far do you get? If you get a login prompt, can you switch to X via

Code: Select all

init 5

Hi doktor5000, if I boot in failsafe it boot up to my prompt. Then if I execute init 5 all I get is a blinking cursor in the upper left corner of the screen.

Thanks again for the help!

I finally found my answer somewhere else. It appears that the problem is coming from buggy driver from NVidia. Check this link for more information. https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/567297/linux/linux-3-10-driver-crash/1

Thanks anyway for the help!

Well, it's about kernel 3.10, Mageia 3 only has 3.8. What do you have installed?
And what nvidia card do you have?

Hi doktor5000, the command cat /etc/issue give me this: Kernel 3.8.13.4-desktop-1.mga3 on an 8 processor x86_64 / \l. And it's a Lenovo Y510P with an NVidia GT 750M. The problem is exactly the same with kernel v3.8 or v3.10 it seems.
