Mageia Users Take Note

[wizardfromoz]

For any Mageia users out there:

You may know that 6.1 has just been released a couple of days ago.

If you frequent Distrowatch.com as I do, there is an incorrect sha512sum recorded there.

Available there are the .isos for

Download (mirror list, pkglist): Mageia-6.1-LiveDVD-Plasma-x86_64-DVD.iso (2,382MB, SHA512, signature, torrent), Mageia-6.1-LiveDVD-GNOME-x86_64-DVD.iso (2,127MB, SHA512, signature, torrent), Mageia-6.1-LiveDVD-Xfce-x86_64-DVD.iso (1,974MB, SHA512, signature, torrent), Mageia-6.1-LiveDVD-Xfce-i586-DVD.iso (1,935MB, SHA512, signature, torrent)

All of the downloads are likely OK, but there is one (1) sha512sum which is incorrect, and that is for the 64-bit of Xfce DE. The result you get is for 6.0, not 6.1

The i586 one is OK.

So just the 64-bit in Xfce flavour.

The correct sha512sum is

834fb5085c7b1b16499c123fb46afc5cc3d31fff109a30f50a95e1b2db294671564543bf9646d677c734373d6263042a7b8dfe6fa4b5e013618693f36cffd6ab

I have reported the error to Mageia's Forum, and no doubt they will work to fix it with DistroWatch.

Enjoy your Linux

Regrets on taking a week to get back to this.

My Post to their Forum was here

... and martinw there grasped what I was talking about straight away and emailed DistroWatch.

All is good.

It should be noted that there was not ever a problem with the .iso Downloads, just that a couple of the hashsum links were to the wrong files.
