# Type | Comment | Name and email
#
# first field ("Translators") is translatable, it is the main section
# second field is the subsection for language, it is half translatable,
# and half non translatable, eg: "French (Français)", "French (%s)"
# is translatable, but "Français" is not; so when displaying under
# Spanish locale it would look like "Francés (Français)" and
# under Russian locale "Француска (Français)"
# last field is the translator name (and possibly email), it is not
# translatable.
# maybe also the language section may be made into a clickable
# link to the url of the translation status page?

<p>Upgrading between releases always has the potential to cause some problems. Upgrading is supported and we do test upgrades, but due to the huge range of possible packages and hardware configurations ,it is always the case that in your particular situation, the upgrade may cause a problem we did not anticipate. Therefore we recommend that you always <b>back up your system prior to upgrading</b>.
</p><p>If you tested one of the Mandriva Desktop 2011 pre-releases (beta or RC), we advise you to remove all package sources and add them back using the <span style="color: green; font-weight: bold;">Mandriva Control Center <img alt="Image:Drakconf-icon.png" src="/en/uploads/f/f2/Drakconf-icon.png" width="36" height="36" border="0" /> &gt; Software Management &gt; Configure media sources for install and update</span> to be sure you have stable release media sources.
</p>
<a name="General_Upgrade_Steps" id="General_Upgrade_Steps"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline"> General Upgrade Steps </span></h2>
<p>After taking the necessary precautions pointed out above, you can upgrade using the Free or Powerpack editions respective DVD's, and it should work well. You can also upgrade on-line. What that means is that the Mandriva update notification applet, Mandriva Online, will notify you that a new Mandriva Linux release (2011) is available, and ask if you wish to upgrade. If you agree, the upgrade will be carried out from within your running system, just like a regular system update. You should then be able to reboot into a working 2011 system. If you have disabled the applet or it is not automatically running for some reason, you can upgrade manually either using the GUI or the CLI. Both methods are outlined below.
</p>
<a name="Upgrade_using_the_command_line:_urpmi" id="Upgrade_using_the_command_line:_urpmi"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline"> Upgrade using the command line: urpmi </span></h3>
<p>You can upgrade using urpmi in a terminal. Below are the steps you need to follow:
</p>
<ul><li> First ensure your system is entirely up-to-date with the latest updates (when upgrading it's assumed that you have the latest updates available for your installed release, so for a smoother upgrade always make sure you have the latest updates) using this command as root in terminal:
</li></ul>
<dl><dd><span style="font-family: courier; color: #7a4707; background-color: #e8e8e8;">su -</span>
</dd><dd><span style="font-family: courier; color: #7a4707; background-color: #e8e8e8;">urpmi --auto-update -v</span>
</dd></dl>
<ul><li> Remove your existing repositories, either using:
<ul><li> The <span style="color: green; font-weight: bold;">Mandriva Control Center <img alt="Image:Drakconf-icon.png" src="/en/uploads/f/f2/Drakconf-icon.png" width="36" height="36" border="0" /> &gt; Software Management &gt; Configure media sources for install and update</span> OR
</li><li> Using this command as root:
</li></ul>
</li></ul>
<dl><dd><dl><dd><span style="font-family: courier; color: #7a4707; background-color: #e8e8e8;">su -</span>
</dd><dd><span style="font-family: courier; color: #7a4707; background-color: #e8e8e8;">urpmi.removemedia -av</span>
</dd></dl>
</dd></dl>
<ul><li> Add 2011.0 repositories. To do this, use <a href="http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/" class="external text" title="http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/" rel="nofollow">Easy URPMI</a>. Set the Version field to 2011 also make sure the Architecture field is set correctly then click <b>Add official medias</b>. Next <i>open</i> the file it offers you with the default handler (gurpmi aka Software Installer).
</li></ul>
<ul><li> To start the upgrade process, run the following command, as root:
</li></ul>
<dl><dd><span style="font-family: courier; color: #7a4707; background-color: #e8e8e8;">su -</span>
</dd><dd><span style="font-family: courier; color: #7a4707; background-color: #e8e8e8;">urpmi --auto --auto-update --replacefiles 2&gt;&amp;1 &#124; tee upgrade.log</span>
</dd></dl>
<p>This will save the output of the process to the file upgrade.log in the current directory, in case you need to check it later, or you have any problems. Once the process completes (without errors), you should reboot, and you should find the system has been fully updated to 2011.
</p>

<div style="margin-left:54px"><b>Caution&nbsp;!</b><br />
If you get any errors you should try and fix them before you reboot so as not to end up with a broken system e.g. without a graphical desktop (text console, aka tty, always works and can be used to fix most problems but is not as easy to use as a graphical desktop).</div></div>
<a name="Advanced_upgrade_options" id="Advanced_upgrade_options"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline"> Advanced upgrade options </span></h3>
<ul><li> You can add <span style="font-family: courier; color: #7a4707; background-color: #e8e8e8;">--download-all</span> to the above command when upgrading, this is a brand new option in urpmi and will make it download all the packages first before trying to install them, this is useful in the case of internet connection failure during the upgrade process, since you can just relaunch the command and continue the process. Be aware though that this will requires quite some free space on the root / partition. Notice that urpmi displays info about the total size of the packages it's going to download, 10GB would usually be enough, but that depends on how many packages you have installed. You can also specify a location to download the rpms, in case the / partition is full and you have more free space say in your /home, you can do this using:
</li></ul>
<dl><dd><span style="font-family: courier; color: #7a4707; background-color: #e8e8e8;">urpmi -v --auto-update --download-all /path/to/download/folder</span>
</dd></dl>
<ul><li> Another option, <span style="font-family: courier; color: #7a4707; background-color: #e8e8e8;">--noclean</span>, will make urpmi not delete the rpms it downloads, you can then copy the rpms from <i>/var/cache/urpmi/rpms</i> to another machine and use them when upgrading. To use the cached rpms in a different installation, first remove the old sources and add the new ones as was explained above, then use one of the following methods:
<ul><li> Copy the rpms to <i>/var/cache/urpmi/rpms/</i> on the machine you want to upgrade so that urpmi detects that they're already present and doesn't re-download them
</li></ul>
</li></ul>
<dl><dd><dl><dd><i>OR</i>
</dd></dl>
</dd></dl>
<ul><li><ul><li> Add the directory containing the rpms as a urpmi source, you can do so using something like this:
</li></ul>
</li></ul>
<dl><dd><dl><dd><span style="font-family: courier; color: #7a4707; background-color: #e8e8e8;">su -</span>
</dd><dd><span style="font-family: courier; color: #7a4707; background-color: #e8e8e8;">urpmi.addmedia -v local-repo <i>/path/to/directory/containing/the/cached/rpms</i></span>
</dd></dl>
</dd></dl>
<ul><li><ul><li> replace <i>/path/to/directory/containing/the/cached/rpms</i> with the actual path to the cached rpms directory.
</li></ul>
</li></ul>
<div style="margin: 1em 0.5em 0em 2em; border-top:1px solid #ccc; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc; padding:2px; background:#F9F9F9; text-align:left; min-height:48px;"><div class="floatleft"><img alt="" src="/en/uploads/2/2a/Notepad.png" width="48" height="48" border="0" /></div>
<div style="margin-left:54px"><b>Please note!</b><br />
Due to the compatibility reasons, some new packages will not be installed. In this list: systemd, knetworkmanager. If you need a full functionality of Mandriva 2011 you need to install these packages manually.</div></div>

Contribution packages from the Mandriva community are available for
these desktop environments however. Starting from Mandriva Desktop 2011
only KDE4 is officially supported. If you need Mandriva with another DE
or WM you can use unofficial packages or distributions prepared by
community members (which are described below).
Available media
This release is available:
* As Free live-DVD for the x86-32 and x86-64 architectures, on one
DVD each.
* As One live-DVD for the x86-32 and x86-64 architectures, on one DVD
each.
Upgrading
Upgrading from previous releases
Upgrading between releases always has the potential to cause some
problems. Upgrading is supported and we do test upgrades, but due to
the huge range of possible packages and hardware configurations ,it is
always the case that in your particular situation, the upgrade may
cause a problem we did not anticipate. Therefore we recommend that you
always back up your system prior to upgrading.
If you tested one of the Mandriva Desktop 2011 pre-releases (beta or
RC), we advise you to remove all package sources and add them back
using the Mandriva Control Center > Software
Management > Configure media sources for install and update to be sure
you have stable release media sources.
General Upgrade Steps
After taking the necessary precautions pointed out above, you can
upgrade using the Free or Powerpack editions respective DVD's, and it
should work well. You can also upgrade on-line. What that means is that
the Mandriva update notification applet, Mandriva Online, will notify
you that a new Mandriva Linux release (2011) is available, and ask if
you wish to upgrade. If you agree, the upgrade will be carried out from
within your running system, just like a regular system update. You
should then be able to reboot into a working 2011 system. If you have
disabled the applet or it is not automatically running for some reason,
you can upgrade manually either using the GUI or the CLI. Both methods
are outlined below.
Upgrade using the command line: urpmi
You can upgrade using urpmi in a terminal. Below are the steps you need
to follow:
* First ensure your system is entirely up-to-date with the latest
updates (when upgrading it's assumed that you have the latest
updates available for your installed release, so for a smoother
upgrade always make sure you have the latest updates) using this
command as root in terminal:
su -
urpmi --auto-update -v
* Remove your existing repositories, either using:
+ The Mandriva Control Center > Software
Management > Configure media sources for install and update OR
+ Using this command as root:
su -
urpmi.removemedia -av
* Add 2011.0 repositories. To do this, use Easy URPMI. Set the
Version field to 2011 also make sure the Architecture field is set
correctly then click Add official medias. Next open the file it
offers you with the default handler (gurpmi aka Software
Installer).
* To start the upgrade process, run the following command, as root:
su -
urpmi --auto --auto-update --replacefiles 2>&1 | tee upgrade.log
This will save the output of the process to the file upgrade.log in the
current directory, in case you need to check it later, or you have any
problems. Once the process completes (without errors), you should
reboot, and you should find the system has been fully updated to 2011.
Caution !
If you get any errors you should try and fix them before you reboot so
as not to end up with a broken system e.g. without a graphical desktop
(text console, aka tty, always works and can be used to fix most
problems but is not as easy to use as a graphical desktop).
Advanced upgrade options
* You can add --download-all to the above command when upgrading,
this is a brand new option in urpmi and will make it download all
the packages first before trying to install them, this is useful in
the case of internet connection failure during the upgrade process,
since you can just relaunch the command and continue the process.
Be aware though that this will requires quite some free space on
the root / partition. Notice that urpmi displays info about the
total size of the packages it's going to download, 10GB would
usually be enough, but that depends on how many packages you have
installed. You can also specify a location to download the rpms, in
case the / partition is full and you have more free space say in
your /home, you can do this using:
urpmi -v --auto-update --download-all /path/to/download/folder
* Another option, --noclean, will make urpmi not delete the rpms it
downloads, you can then copy the rpms from /var/cache/urpmi/rpms to
another machine and use them when upgrading. To use the cached rpms
in a different installation, first remove the old sources and add
the new ones as was explained above, then use one of the following
methods:
+ Copy the rpms to /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/ on the machine you
want to upgrade so that urpmi detects that they're already
present and doesn't re-download them
OR
*
+ Add the directory containing the rpms as a urpmi source, you
can do so using something like this:
su -
urpmi.addmedia -v local-repo
/path/to/directory/containing/the/cached/rpms
*
+ replace /path/to/directory/containing/the/cached/rpms with the
actual path to the cached rpms directory.
Please note!
Due to the compatibility reasons, some new packages will not be
installed. In this list: systemd, knetworkmanager. If you need a full
functionality of Mandriva 2011 you need to install these packages
manually.
End of life distributions
When your distribution is no more officially supported (aka reached its
end of life), a notification will be displayed through the mdkonline
applet. It will offer to upgrade to a supported release. Currently
2009.0 will no longer receive desktop updates but will continue to
receive base and security updates. 2008.1 and older releases have
reached their End of Life and will no longer receive updates.
Mandriva tools
Mandriva installer
Version 2011 of Mandriva uses a hybrid iso-image. It allows to you to
use it in various ways:
* as live-DVD (with possibility to install from live mode)
* as install-DVD
* as image for flash where you can boot to the live and/or install
modes
To create live/install-DVD, you can use your favorite CD/DVD writer (
for more information, see the section called Writing CD and DVD
images). To create bootable flash drive, you can use several methods:
Create a bootable flash drive via dd
For creation of a bootable flash drive using 'dd' command, open console
and type the next commands:
su -
dd if=/path/to/iso/image of=/path/to/flash/drive bs=1M
Create a bootable flash drive via livecd-iso-to-disk
For creation a bootable flash drive using 'livecd-iso-to-disk' command,
open console and type the next commands:
su -
livecd-iso-to-disk /path/to/iso/image /path/to/flash/drive
Where /path/to/iso/image paths to a your copy of Mandriva iso-image and
/path/to/flash/drive - path to your flash drive (usually it is
/dev/sdb).
SimpleWelcome
SimpleWelcome is the completely new kickoff menu which is used in
Mandriva 2011 instead of Kickoff. Compare to Kickoff, SimpleWelcome has
many benefits:
* Simplicity
* Clearness
* Good look
* Tolerance for the newbies
While it has many features, you do not need to learn how to work with
the SimpleWelcome. SimpleWelcome is a very simple application - like
its name.
TimeFrame
TimeFrame is a new utility for Nepomuk. It allows you not to think in
which folder you saved your photography, video or documents. You need
only a date. If you know the date you will find everything. Information
in TimeFrame is represented in "cloud" form, thus you can easily find
what you need.
RocketBar
RocketBar is a next step in the KDE panel development. It has many new
superb features:
* A 'program oriented' interface. RocketBar is divided in 3 zones. If
you add an icon to the left zone it will not appear on the central
zone while the application is running. If you run an application,
using an icon that you don't have in the left zone, it will appear
in the central zone.
* Possibility to increase panel height as you wish. No more
limitation in panel size.
* Complete compositing effects support.
StackFolder
StackFolder is the next step in development of
plasma-applet-folderview. It allows the user to obtain quick access to
the frequently used directories. To use StaskFolder just drag-and-drop
a folder from Dolphin file manager to the panel.
Sphere
Mandriva Sphere is the client for technical support. It allows the user
to address directly to the technical support on several languages. For
now it's available in two languages:
* English
* Russian.
Language is chosen automatically based on system locale settings. It is
planned to add main European languages support in future releases.
Users may use client in two modes:
* anonymous (ticket tracking is based on provided email address)
* authorized with dedicated support account.
Improver
Improver is a software and hardware reporting tool for finding errors
in Mandriva and Rosa software by community users. It consists in :
* client software
* server applications
* web-application
Client software is a GUI utility called Improver_client. It creates a
user account, downloads testing plans from the server, and collects the
hardware and system data from the user's PC. The user can select
desired testing plan from the available list, fills report, then the
program sends it to the Improver's server. The web interface provides a
public access for statistical summary about errors in Mandriva.
MandrivaSync
MandrivaSync is the cloud service from Mandriva. Like Ubuntu One, Apple
iCloud and Dropbox it allows the user to store its data on the
Mandriva's servers. Then, the user can get access to its data from any
device that have MandrivaSync Client or access to the internet. Main
features:
* 2 Gb of free space for the any MandrivaSync user.
* Possibility to get access to the data from the any device with
MandrivaSync Client (currently only in Mandriva Desktop 2011) or
through web-browser.
* Personal room.
* Possibility to specify an object for the synchronization and set
auto-synchronization time.
Please note!
Currently service is in beta version only. We still not recommend to
use it for the everyday work. Follow the news!
Mandriva Package Manager
Mandriva Package Manager (MPM) is a new package manager for Mandriva.
Currently it is under heavy development and is not included in the
distribution by default, but you can install it from repository.
Please, help us to test MPM. After some period of testing we will
include it into Mandriva by default (approximately into Mandriva 2011
LTS).
Desktop environments
KDE
KDE 4.6.5 is an upgrade in stability and functionality over KDE 4.4.5.
This release will add many new features to KDE 4 with some brand new
features. It should also provide a more stable desktop experience than
KDE 4.4.5.
Nepomuk integration: Nepomuk technology has been further integrated.
You will be able to organize your desktop depending on your projects,
annotate documents, watch your documents, photos and videos through
TimeFrame, search files in the Dolphin file manager and more.
Desktop applications
LibreOffice
Mandriva 2011 comes with LibreOffice 3.4.2. Compared to LibreOffice 3.2
