The distro is quite +usable, Alpha 3 DVD installs without a glitch. Upgrade from Alpha 3 to +Cauldron also went smooth, with the exception of some failing %post +scripts (namely, for at, cronie and speech-dispatcher). Though, of +course, I've found several issues, which I decide to dump here first, +prior to filing Bugzilla bugs. Maybe somebody recognizes the bugs that +have already been reported. So, here we go: + +1) URPMI didn't work with DVD media after installation, complaining on +some udisks problem. After upgrade to Cauldron, though, everything seems +to be OK; +2) Totem was not capable of playing any single video from my collection, +until I've installed gstreamer0.10-{ffmpeg,faad,a52dec,dts}. Probably +these packages should be suggested by totem, because video player is +pretty useless without codecs; +3) adding a VPN interface in GNOME 3 network settings doesn't work. And +I wonder why doesn't it allow to add broadband or PPPoE connection? Is +it just unimplemented or what? +4) Russian input in framebuffer console doesn't work, and I remember it +worked pretty good in Mandriva. /etc/sysconfig/i18n contents are the +same. Ctrl-right/left command line navigation in bash doesn't work, too; +5) if any /etc/fstab entry becomes unavailable (for example, after +secondary disk having been pulled out), the system fails to boot - first +waiting for about a minute, and then bailing into a recovery console; +6) network-up service slows down boot process, always waiting for about +a minute and failing afterwards. The network is actually up and running. +Had to disable it with chkconfig; +7) audio is suspended when you switch to console from X (unless you are +logged on to this console). This affects Rhythmbox, Totem and any other +application that plays back audio (play, paplay, ffplay etc.). This is +due to ConsoleKit doing nasty things to /dev/snd/* entries' ACLs (though +adding a user to "audio" group doesn't help either). The problem is +described in detail here: +<A HREF="http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/multimedia/464721-audio-stops-playing-when-switching-console-xorg.html">http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/multimedia/464721-audio-stops-playing-when-switching-console-xorg.html</A> +8) after upgrading to Cauldron, gnome-terminal started to pop up a menu +upon pressing F10 (to quit Midnight Commander, for example - this can be +very annoying), though accessing menu with F10 is turned off in the +profile; +9) Cantarell font, used by default in GNOME Shell, doesn't cover +Cyrillic glyphs at all, so for Russian messages it gets substituted with +default sans-serif font. This mixture of fonts looks really ugly. Maybe +some other quality free font could be considered when using Cyrillic +locales, like, for example, PT Sans: +<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PT_Sans">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PT_Sans</A> +10) sending mails in Evolution is broken - Evolution (3.3.5) doesn't remember authentication settings for SMTP anymore; +11) finally, the least significant, but the most annoying for me - can't +turn off NumLock in GNOME! Neither with the NumLock key itself, nor with +numlockx. The LED just dims for a fraction of second, and goes back +again tauntingly :) + +So, if anyone notices an issue that has already been reported, please +let me know so I don't file a duplicate. Again, thanks guys for great +distro! Won't be coming back to Mandriva :) + +Mitya + + + + +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="011824.html">[Mageia-dev] [changelog] [RPM] cauldron nonfree/release drakx-installer-images-1.64-1.mga2.nonfree +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="011890.html">[Mageia-dev] First impression on Cauldron +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#11835">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#11835">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#11835">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#11835">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
