No Bugs while Upgrading from Mageia 3 to Mageia 4

Postby holystarfire » Jan 22nd, '14, 19:25

My process :

1) Installed virtual box and got it working (had some issues with it, but that's a different story)
2) Installed Mageia 3 in virtual box with "Mageia-3-x86_64-DVD.iso"
3) Updated Mageia 3 in virtual box
4) Upgraded to Mageia 4 with "Mageia-4-RC-x86_64-DVD.iso"
5) No bugs found, so posted this...post

If anybody needs more information on certain things about my process or computer hardware/software specifications, just let me know and I will try my best to give the requested information.

Thanks holystarfire. Nice to read that. It would be nice if you give that information to the QA team.

Could you please tell me how I can give this info to the QA team ? I'm new to using forums and I don't know how :oops: . Is there a specific forum on which I should post this ?

No specific forum but a mailing list qa-discuss@ml.mageia.org (https://ml.mageia.org/l/lists/qa) and an irc-channel #mageia-qa on chat.freenode.net
for windows problems reboot; for linux problems be root

This is nice to know. With it so cold out I have decided to give it a shot. I've read the errata, release notes and known issues. I have Mageia 4 downloading now with about an hour left.

I don't have any questions other than am I correct that it should be basically ok and should be up-gradable to final with no problem? By basically I mean if something don't work I'm not completely new and can probably fix it...I thought it would be nice to help out and see how it runs on my machine.

I have an i5 with onboard video and a ATI 6870 and SSD's with UEFI so if it can do that and run afterwards then it's pretty good.

I have so many tweaks I hate to re-do them so I hope it keeps most. I'll report back...and I like to mess with stuff...I won't just go back to web browsing and call it ok...I'll play around with stuff and see that they run etc.

I still have a couple of minor bugs I have not found for 2>3 upgrade, one being Kmail...hitting Check Mail doesn't get the mail...I have to hold down the button and select the account...been through it a thousand times and gave up, it does work, so I won't report that as a Mageia 4 bug, but I'll report if it fixes it and I bet it does...new KDE.
