Hi!

I upgraded Mageia 8 to Mageia 9 - by using the standard upgrade widget.

Now all the plasma desktop widgets that were used to show readouts of various sensors like CPU loads, temperatures, memory usage, and similar stopped working.

Looks like those widgets cannot even open a list of available sensors.

I ran a sensors-detect (carefully), but it changed nothing.

Any tips?

Just a quickie. To log in to a Wayland session, all I needed to install was plasma-workspace-wayland.

`sudo dnf install plasma-workspace-wayland`

There was a couple dependencies but those were also small, total was around 3 megs.

Logged out of X11, logged into Wayland.

I don't know why it isn't installed by default, because of Nvidia? Either way, easy to fix. Was it something I chose during Mageia install? I don't remember.

\*/ Sidenote \*/  
Overall, I like the distro. Dnf is familiar, works well. New, quite fresh packages, works great for gaming with  AMD GPU. Of course I had to compile latest kernel with zen-patches because that is just me. I didn't really need to.

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]?

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.

The release of rc1 brings Mageia 9 stable even more closer to reality

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

Is there a way to work with OpenRC scripts in Mageia?

Maybe somebody found some ressources.

Thx
