Is there any chance that Mga5 will get Plasma5 or would I need to run Cauldron or wait for Mga6?

Just curious.

Thnx.

I asked on Mageia's forum and while they never answered exactly, I got the feeling that the answer was that 5 will not get KDE5.

Yes, it does seem that way. `I guess I could switch to Cauldron and install it! Timothy Miller, what are you running, Cauldron or Mga 5?

Thnx.

MGA5. Historically I've found only odd numbered MGA were worthwhile. I didn't like 2, loved 3, hated 4, and like 5. So not sure if I'll ever bother upgrading to 6.

I can't remember what the last release i installed was. It was either 2 or 3. I just installed 5, a couple of days ago and am still getting to know the system. I removed net_applet and installed kde-nm or what ever the new kde network manager applet is called. It was a pain to do that considering i had no internet on Mageia and had to download the rpms on my other partition before i could install them.
It turns out net_applet is a dependency of drakconf so i had to re install drakconf with the no-deps option after removing net_applet. I don't consider this a big issue, in fact if i were trying to do the same thing on Debian, every time i'd use apt afterward it would drag net_applet back, so i'm happy to see things are working smoothly with my manual changes.
So now everything is working as it should, but there is a definite bug with drakconf. I haven't isolated the cause as it doesn't do it all the time, but very often drakconf refuses to launch with the following error.

Anyway, other than that little niggle, the system seems to be working smoothly. I've enabled the trinity repo and running trinity-amarok within kde4. I love it that i'm able to do that. This release seems promising considering the hair pulling problems i had with network manager on the last release i tried out.
