So it is advised to run this operation separately from the system release upgrade to avoid a long lock on the RPM database and allow to control it.  We suggest to before upgrading Mageia 10, adding docker to {{file|/etc/urpmi/skip.list}} to avoid it being updated, and after successful Mageia upgrade and you are sure you have time and disk space, remove it from list and perform system update.      ===== LiveCD Tools ===== ===== LiveCD Tools ===== Bcornec

The Mageia team wishes the the whole community a happy 2026 filled with peace, happiness and joy!

Mageia has new things in store for a new year: a new stable release and new servers. The team is currently track with the release schedule for Mageia 10 announced earlier. The alpha release is still in testing and we hope to release it to users soon. As the prior post indicated, there have been a number of challenges for this release, but most are being resolved. We look forward not only to the alpha release, but to an update after the next developers’ meeting.

The latest stable kernel, 6.18.x, runs beautifully, an observation from personal experience, both in Cauldron and backported to the stable Mageia 9 machine on which I am writing this.

As has been discussed in prior posts, Mageia also has new servers that will help with development. There has been work on configuring them and the team is currently working with the data centre to tune the network connections.

Upcoming this year is a general assembly meeting to assess the past year and chart the path forward for 2026 and beyond. The council will also have to evaluate the increasing shift to Wayland – a topic that has seen some discussion among the developers — and other changes in the Linux ecosystem as we move forward.

Stay tuned for more – and may we all have a truly marvellous new year!
