I followed a friendrCOs advice to stick with just one Linux
distribution. IrCOm currently using Mageia 9, but there are some
issues IrCOve never been able to solve.

I tried installing Mageia 10 (Cauldron), since the development
version is where problems are more likely to be
fixed. Unfortunately, I failed after three attempts.

First attempt: I installed Mageia 9 on another partition, updated
it, and ran the following commands:

# urpmi.removemedia -a urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist \
'http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.cauldron.x86_64.list' #
urpmi --auto-update --auto

When I tried to install packages, I got a huge number of messages
about signature issues.

Second attempt: I downloaded and burned the network installation
ISO. The installer does show Mageia 10 as an option when selecting
a server, but it doesnrCOt proceed any further. Marja van Waes once
gave me a URL to use in the installer, but that didnrCOt work
either.

Third attempt: I repeated the steps from thefirst attempt but
skipped running:

# urpmi --auto-update --auto

When I tried to install packages, I still got errors related to

package signatures.

I will try again with one of these files. At least they are up to date.
I will report the result here.
Thank you.

Any many more problems introduced. That is why it is "Cauldron". It is
an unholy stew bubbling over a witches fire. IF you want to contribute
to Mageia by finding and reporting troubles, use Cauldron. If you want
to use Mageia, don't.

First attempt: I installed Mageia 9 on another partition, updated
it, and ran the following commands:

# urpmi.removemedia -a urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist \
'http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.cauldron.x86_64.list' #
urpmi --auto-update --auto

See above.

This is the wrong place to report them. Report them to the
bugs.mageia.org so that the people who are trying to chase down the bugs
have a hope of seeing the bug reports.

When using cauldron before public iso testing has started, you should subscribe to and read
the messages on the dev mailing list. https://ml.mageia.org/l/home

The signature problem has been discussed and has been documented in the wiki https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Cauldron#Upgrade_from_the_latest_stable_release_to_Cauldron_using_urpmi

As cauldron is rather volatile, if you do a network install, check https://pkgsubmit.mageia.org/
to make sure nothing is currently building, then do a very minimal install. You can add more
packages later once you have a working install.

At some point I created an account there. Time passed and the password
was forgotten. It was probably created before I started using the
KeepassXC password manager. There isnrCOt a practical way, like on many
current websites, to recover the password.
