Fwd: Rawhide experiences

[Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX]

I did another fresh Rawhide install today.
All the issues I reported on the 27th remain.

As per suggestion, I have been experimenting with Rawhide downloaded with:
/usr/bin/rsync   -vaH --numeric-ids --delete --delete-after
--delay-updates --progress  --stats  \
    mirrors1.kernel.org::fedora/development/rawhide/x86_64/os /z/rawhide

I then installed this on my office machine via PXEBOOT.  Most of the
time I had to use the
Heisenbug pxeboot files as the rawhide files could not perform an install.

The main flaw in the rawhide experience is the Noveau driver for the
Nvidia GTX 670
on my Asus p8z77-v le plus motherboard and 32gb 3770-k.   Noveau had
undergone a
series of regressions similar to ones seeen during Heisenbug
development.   Rawhide Noveau
will not drive my Dell u3011 at its native 2560 resolution most of the
time.  Yesterday Noveau
was driving the U3011 at full resolution but the display was sluggish
and one CPU was near
100 percent utilization.  These are historically familiar problems.

Other problems:  USB to serial converter plugged into the Asmedia USB
3.0 port is not recognized.
This has not been a problem in previous Fedora versions.

Network Manager is continually trying to configure virbr0, without success.


Otherwise, most of the things I typically do with my office machine
function nominally.
