Installing Mageia Linux 10 RC1 on VMware Workstation

The first release candidate of Mageia Linux 10 was announced yesterday, and it brought some awesome lock screen pictures, along with some updated packages, such as the Linux kernel. This release candidate was released after the beta version to add in some improvements. Mageia Linux was released as a fork of Mandriva Linux, which is a successor of Mandrake Linux.

In this article, we will showcase how to install Mageia Linux 10 RC1 to a VMware installation. First, we will configure the virtual machine as follows:

After that, open the virtual machine settings, navigate to New CD/DVD, and select the Mageia ISO file.

Then, we’ll go ahead and turn on the virtual machine. We’re greeted with a rather nice GRUB boot screen.

As soon as we press ENTER, the Mageia installer starts with this:

After that, the GUI version of the Mageia installer starts, asking us for a language to use.

After that, we’re greeted with the license agreement.

After the license agreement, you can choose the timezone. The default selection is New York.

After that, you can configure the clock, including the hardware clock configuration (local time or UTC), and choosing whether to sync with NTP server or not.

Then, you can choose the keyboard layout.

Now, we get into the partitioning stage. You can choose either the guided partitioning or custom partitioning. As we have no installed operating systems, we can choose to use the whole disk.

Media selection comes after the partitioning stage in the installer. The installer has automatically selected both the Core Release and the Nonfree Release media. Currently, we’ll be installing the base system entirely from the installation ISO file.

After this stage, the installer provides us with options for the desktop environment, with KDE as the default. We have chosen to go with the KDE Plasma environment.

Afterwards, the installation begins.

When the installation finishes, the user configuration comes afterwards. You can set the root password, the username of your account, and the password.

Afterwards, the display configuration comes. The installer asks us to choose a monitor. As we’re on a virtual machine, this is likely not relevant. So, we kept it at Plug-n-Play.

As soon as we go to the next step, the installer shows you the summary of the system configuration, just like below:

Before the configuration finishes, the installer asks us if we want to configure the online media. We have approved it. Then, we allowed the installer to automatically choose the best mirror and download method available.

After that, the installer is now finished.

Then, we let the system reboot to the GRUB menu.

We let the system boot to the simplistic-looking login screen.

After we log in to the newly-created account, we’re presented with a desktop and a welcome window.

Awesome! Now we’re on the Mageia Desktop!

We have checked for available package updates by going to the Update screen. It shows a list of packages that were available for updating.

We have selected all the packages to upgrade them. As soon as we clicked on Update, the software update manager starts downloading package files and installing them to the system.

Afterwards, we have restarted the virtual machine for the new kernel to be used.

Lock screen wallpapers

The Mageia 10 RC1 announcement has stated that there are awesome screensavers included in the release candidate. However, it was actually referring to the lock screen wallpapers.

You can find those 20 wallpapers (found in /usr/share/mga/screensaver) through the lock screen settings.

Once you apply the changes, you can now see the login screen with one of the 20 lock screen wallpapers chosen.

VMware Workstation Pro 26H1 is now live!

The virtualization program, VMware Workstation Pro, has been updated with a brand new version, 26H1, which was released yesterday. This version of VMware Workstation brings several feature additions, as well as general improvements and bug fixes to improve your virtualization experience and to make this program more secure.

VMware Workstation Pro used to be a 32-bit application that provided compatibility for systems that are still using 32-bit hosts, especially on Windows. Now, with the release of 26H1, it has migrated to a 64-bit only application, which presents you with optimized binaries and components for 64-bit.

VMware Workstation now supports the following systems (guest and host):

Additionally, the following changes have been made:

• You can now easily take a look at both the creation date and the last power on date, which will make it easier for you to identify when the virtual machine was first created and when it was powered on.
• VMware Workstation Pro now supports remote connection to ARM-based ESX hosts, which enables basic virtual machine operations on those hosts.
• On folder tabs, you can now easily take a look at notes for each virtual machine.
• The saved credential format has been updated so that you can easily identify encrypted virtual machines and remote servers in the host’s credentials manager.

You can learn more about the new release of VMware Workstation here.

I appreciate free software, but this is a damn joke, Broadcom. The newest releases of VMware Workstation and Fusion are unable to check for updates, and Broadcom says it's intentional.

Anyone know why Windows 2000 does this in #VMWareWorkstation and if there's a way around it?

Hi #Linux people! I'm looking for #help. I'm running #LinuxMint as a virtual machine, primarily to use Rhythmbox to rip CDs.

I've got it in a 20GB virtual machine, which is running out of space.

I've attached a screenshot of the Disc Usage Analyzer. The vast majority of the bloat is in \usr\lub\modules

Is there any way to pare this down, or do I just need a fresh install and/or figure out how to expand the #VirtualMachine size.

I'm using #VMwareWorkstation 16 if that helps.

Thanks!

Just finished installing #VanillaOS in #VMwareWorkstation 17, and have a couple of tips:

* Everything lags unless you temporarily disable 3D acceleration until open-vm-tools are installed.
* The Norwegian keyboard layout defaults to Dvorak, which I suspect isn't the most common one ;)
* The default installer resolution was a tiny 800x600. Click Activities and type Displays to get to the relevant settings.
