Forking around with OpenMandrivaLx.3.01.1-PLASMA.x86_64

[Bobbie Sellers]

Hi Typers and Readers,
Well I said I would be back about this.
I will try a re-install tomorrow but I don't have much hope
of it working very well.
I was updating my other installed OSes this evening.
I got to the OM install and it had 751 updates.
I left it downloading and went to do something
when I came back it had a screen lock on that was broken
and could not be released following on screen directions
to do alt cntrl F2 and then "loginctl unlock-sessions"
I tried the command as given then tried the
next suggestion alt ctrl F1 but it just went back to the
same unlockable screen which cannot be unlocked. I
tried a 3 finger salute but had to shut down with the
power button. Attempted to reboot but it hung X2
before we had a open terminal or a graphics screen.

Avoid OpenMandrivaLx.3.01.1-PLASMA.x86_64.
Oh yes did I say the window resize does not work
in the horizontal. It does not.

Well this time the downloaded file from the
Distrowatch torrent site did match the given checksum.

Just off the top of my head I think we have
a real stinker here. If I make any progress with it
I will be posting here about it. So discouraging.
