Mageia Control Center tiny low contrast font

My eyes are failing [cataracts]
MCC is #6 font, grey on an off white background
Dark Reader & various settings make nearly everything else, white print on black, with #15 font

Luckily I'm familar with everyday stuff, so I can muddle through

The forum suggested I fiddle with video drivers, but I can't really figure it [tiny font]. I doubt it will make more than a minor difference

Any way to make mcc follow system settings [KDE]?

Anyone wants to help me package GHC for Mageia 9?

Is there a foolproof way to actually build every dependency for GHC to actually build the GHC rpm package? I have tried and failed and tried and failed and tried and failed, but as our packaging policy prohibits me from using Fedora source rpms it gets waaaay harder to complete the task. Don't get me wrong, I have been able to build stage 1 for 9.4.7 locally, but I wonder what to do next. Anyone here feeling interested in helping me? I have packaged some of the Fedora dependencies for GHC already, but that doesn't help much.

Google Chrome media not updating for Mageia

From https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Installing_Google_Chrome_in_Mageia :

As of Tuesday 13th June 2023, the upstream download site at Google does not seem to have the needed latest media_info/[hdlist.cz|MD5SUM|synthesis.hdlist.cz] files for the most recent release 114.0.5735.106 for 2023-06-06. It seems that Google did not run a "genhdlist2 ." to regenerate the hdlist files needed by URPMI.

This means that you will not get the latest google-chrome-stable when you run: /bin/sudo urpmi --auto-update.

Version 114.0.5735.106 rpm can installed directly with:

/bin/sudo urpmi http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64/google-chrome-stable-114.0.5735.106-1.x86_64.rpm

ask for a package update? even debian-stable, notorious for stability over cutting edge has a newer version of chromium-browser than mageia cauldron. i can always use flatpak for nwer version if need be, just asking.

I found this screenshot from 2004 where I was installing Linux Mandrake on a VM in Japanese to explain to my friends how easy it was to install Linux!

Is Mageia 9 still on track?

According to the Mageia 9 development wiki, the final release for Mageia 9 is scheduled for next Saturday, the 12th. I haven't heard any rumblings about it here or in the forums. Is the plan still on for a November 12th release, or will there be a delay? Does anyone know?

glad Mageia still does 32-bit

To track down a weird bug, I needed a 32-bit distro with gcc version at least 9. The last 32-bit Fedora had gcc 9.0.1, which I would expect has a few bugs of its own.
