Official pre-release testing

Wiki Mageia - 4 Enero, 2026 - 18:47

Initial release, not ready

New page

{{Draft}}
{{introduction|'''Welcome to test Mageia pre-release'''<br>
After some internal testing we release alpha and beta versions officially for interested users.

A preliminary schedule is at [[Mageia_10_Development]]

'''Please DO NOT use pre-releases for evaluation or important work!'''

Problems *are* expected, especially with the alpha release.
Mageia support several desktop systems, much hardware, and software.
We can't test everything, and we are grateful for feedback.
When you test, you also help to make the final version work on your system and usage.

Remember that Mageia is fully community driven by individuals devoting our time. We release when we feel ready.
For various ways to help out, see how to [[contribute|Contribute]] and a short description of our [[Contributing|Teams]].

To get access to earlier test ISOs [[Pre-release_ISO_testing|before they are official]]: until next round you should get used to work in our [[QA_Team_portal|QA team]], and then [[QA_ISO_testers|enroll here]].}}


== Available installation media ==

We have Live, Classic installer, and Netinstaller in a few flavours each. '''For descriptions of them please see [[Mageia_10_Release_Notes#Available_installation_media|here]] in release notes.'''

''Notes about pre release testing them:''

=== Live ===

=== Classic Installer ===

* While it is as usual possible to enable updates repositories during install, it does not give effect now because updates are landed in release repos until Mageia is released.

=== Netinstaller ===

* Netinstaller images are released asynchronously from other installer media. When reporting please state both date of the netinstaller file you downloaded (date listed on mirror then), and date you perform installation.
* [[#Release_repositories_do_change|Release repositories do change]]

== Downloading ==

Pre-releases are available at https://www.mageia.org/en/downloads/alternative/. Remember to check the file checksums before using them, per instructions you get when downloading.

== Creating media ==

The .iso files are hybrid, which means they works both burnt to optical media as an image, or dumped to USB stick as image (which is not the same as copying it as as a file).

Note that Mageia 10 is in contrast to previous releases allowed to go beyond single layer DVD size, so the bigger ISOs may need dual-layer disc.

For USB stick: if you already run Mageia [[IsoDumper_Writing_ISO_images_on_USB_sticks|{{prog|IsoDumper}}]] is the tool. For other methods see [[Installation_Media#Dump_Mageia_ISO_on_a_USB_flash_drive|here]].

== Testing ==

=== Do read first ===

Read up on [[#Current_status|Current status]] below.

Browse and communicate on our [https://forums.mageia.org/ forum] - to ask, get guidance, help other, supply ideas.

This wiki you already is on now, provide a great deal of information too, please look around.

=== What to test ===

* That it boots and works as expected. Tip: The Live is efficient to use to try various machines.

* Your favourite software we have in our repositories

* [[Ways_to_install_programs|Other software of interest]]

==== Upgrading from Mageia 9 ====

Note this is not officially supported before final release, but if you like to test:
* You should be an experienced user
* Do take backups of important files first
* Follow normal [[Mageia_10_Release_Notes#Upgrading_from_Mageia_9|upgrade procedures]]
* And account for: [[#Release_repositories_do_change|Release repositories do change]]

''Alternatively you may like to update to [Cauldron|Cauldron]. Note that you would at Mageia 10 release time probably want to switch repositories from Cauldron to Mageia 10.''

==== Updating an installed system ====

To get updates, you must set your system to get updates from the release repository. [[Release_repositories_do_change|Release repositories do change]]

# Like normal, you need to have set up repositories.
# Then one way is to add a checkmark in updates column for release medias using our tool {{prog|drakrpm-editmedia}}. -But to be able to change updates media you need to launch it in expert mode like so: {{cmd|drakrpm-editmedia --expert}}.

Then after Mageia is finally released, unset release repositories from being update repositories.

==== Found a problem? ====

First search for if it is already described in the errata or if it is told in release notes.

Then see if your problem seems to be described in [[Mageia_9_Errata|errata for our previous release]] - this may help you investigate further and maybe reopen a bug or make a fresh one depending on what seem suitable.

If you are uncertain, please ask on our forum.

For reporting a bug, [[How_to_report_a_bug_properly|this is a great guide]].

== Current status ==

Do read [[Mageia_10_Release_Notes|release notes]] and [[Mageia_10_Errata|errata]] - Note that they naturally are a work in progress at this time.

Check our forum

See our [https://bugs.mageia.org/ bugzilla] to see what is cooking. Like for any such project, don't be overwhelmed by the number of bugs processing... it is a huge project and there are no bugs for everything that works ;-)

== Especially note ==
''' ''Updated 2026-01- '' '''<br>
'' To be revised at each pre-release release (remove old stuff), and updated any time needed -->''

== Expected problems ==

=== Release repositories do change ===

When Mageia release, the "release" repository is locked from changes. But now during development, packages are updated over elder packages in that same repository (instead of being added in the updates repositories). We my also add or remove packages. This have various effects.

* Netinstaller may fail because of changed repository content during install. Remedy: start again.
* For updates: see [[#Updating_an_installed_system|Updating an installed system]] Morgano
