I have two other distributions installed on this computer.
In Slackware 15 all I have to do to access the wifi network is click on the network icon, choose the network and provide the password. In the previous version I needed to give permissions to the rc.networkmanager
file but the knowledge about Slackware doesn't help to solve the problem
with the Mageia distribution as Slackware doesn't use systemd.
openSUSE Tumbleweed uses systemd but I don't need to go into detail about how it works. I just need to choose the network and provide the password.
Providing a means of connecting to the internet is one of the most basic functions of an operating system. I hoped this was already resolved.
The whole Mageia has languished . The Brazilian Portuguese Mageia mailing list has not received any messages for years. I can only get
some help in English.

I like the Mageia. I'm using it at the moment but I want to be realistic. One indication of the loss of interest on the distribution is
it appears in position 57 in the distrowatch.

Gathering user info is useful for distributions that sell advertising,

You can submit your own reviews to Distrowatch if you love your distribution so much. At PCLinuxOS Forum we remind people of such

Something else must have been changed too.
Boot to run level 3 (aka multi-user.target) by editing the kernel
parameters at
boot. Append " 3" (without the quotes) and remove (if present) the
options splash
and quiet.
Login and try startx. If that fails check "journalctl -b --no-h" for messages
indicating what's failing.
That works. So it's something in the runlevel 5 stuff in systemd.
Dammit, I wish for sysvinit because then I could debug it without help.

Especially with Mageia. There is no "phone home" function built in to
Mageia that
gathers user's info about the number or type of installs. We

try to collect statistics on the user base.
I've tried several times to use Debian but I can't like him. However it

I still have the PowerPack 2010 Mandriva DVD. I recently installed it on
a virtual machine. Since MCC no longer works, there is nothing more
useful than doing with the Mandriva. It was in my plans to buy a
Powepack license annually. The plans had to be aborted as a result of
the closure of the company.
I quote DistroWatch because it is the only place known to me that
provides some statistics on the number of users for distributions. I've
seen other people saying they don't like DistroWatch but have not
provided a better alternative even provided an alternative.

Some years back, I used Debian on an old 32-bit laptop (manufactured =
e2005). If I recall correctly, it used WiCD and for WiFi to work on th=
dlaptop, I had to edit a particular file. With all other distros I use=
onon it until the laptop finally gave out, including (the original)
Mandriva, WiFi worked right out of the box.
I still have the PowerPack 2010 Mandriva DVD. I recently installed it =
on the machine i hada virtual machine. Since MCC no longer works, there is nothing more=20
useful than doing with the Mandriva. It was in my plans to buy a
Powepack license annually. The plans had to be aborted as a result of
the closure of the company.

When I was using French, I never learned to think in French so was always
translating in my mind, which makes conversations difficult.
This process of thinking about a language and trying to translate, in addition to being laborious, tends to create wrong sentences. I can understand texts in English from seeing things written in that language
so much, but I can't write.

In Grade Six, there, we did Introductory Classes in French and Latin

For those born in environments whose English is the language, must
consider the other almost useless languages. Anywhere in the galaxy to
which Enterprise goes, everyone speaks English. Back to land, airlines, airports, tourist places, technical manuals, data sheets etc is all in English. For English speakers, other languages are less useful than
their own.

I have two other distributions installed on this computer.
In Slackware 15 all I have to do to access the wifi network is
click on the network icon, choose the network and provide the
password. In the previous version I needed to give permissions
to the rc.networkmanager file but the knowledge about Slackware
doesn't help to solve the problem with the Mageia distribution
as Slackware doesn't use systemd.
openSUSE Tumbleweed uses systemd but I don't need to go into
detail about how it works. I just need to choose the network
and provide the password.
Providing a means of connecting to the internet is one of the
most basic functions of an operating system. I hoped this was
already resolved.
You should probably try a Mageia 8 gnome live iso to see if that
works properly in your situation. Gnome uses networkmanager by
default rather then drakx-net.
I used the instructions here: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/switching_to_NETWARKMANAGER Link
indicated by Marja Van Waes. Now the wireless connection is
working.

I tried to follow that link again after installing Mageia 8 on an SSD but that link doesn't work anymore.
