The move was sensible; I needed the machine to work in my office at the university and, as they are shaking IT everywhere, I wanted to have software that was more up to date.
However, the upgrade was complicated. The installation part was flawless and fast but, after finishing, when I attempted to upgrade the packages, I would lose display at a given point.
I remember that something like that happened to me when I tried to upgrade OpenMandriva Lx 3. on my ZaReason Strata the first time. Eventually, I solved the problem then. On the HP Pavilion, there was no such luck.
I tried installing from scratch multiple times, both with MCC and Discover, and even with urpmi on the CLI. It seems that the culprit is a package called gtk-lib.
Oh, well. I decided to leave it like that while I figure out if that was a bad repo sync or what. The machine works nice and, if I could survive last year using a 2-year-old system, I guess OpenMandriva Lx 3 will be fine.
