Hey,
i've just installed Fedora 8 Test 1 on my acer notebook and was surprised to see that the resolution of my screen was used during the installation (1280x800). Good job there!!
Once Fedora 8 Test 1 was installed and started i ran into some problems.. I was used to kNetworkManager (the KDE network manager) but had no idea what gnome's manager was for this.. (nothing was started for this..!!!) so i looked in the session settings for gnome and there i saw: "Network Manager" and enabled.. so it should have started right? well it didn't it did start when i opened a console and typed the line that is in the Network Manager session command line: "nm-applet --sm-disable"
Once that was started and once i had entered my wlan information it was working all over again.. than the updates window popped up.. it said that there where 280!!! updates!! so i did the update and tested it again (NetworkManager) and it's still not booting up when Fedora boots not even now when i write this post.
So is this done intentionally or is it a bug? and if it is.. is it worth reporting it or already known? Also nearly no programs in the session list (applets) seem to start except the power manager, sound and update things.
And about Fedora 8 so far (just a few hours) I know it's a test release and i know that it can be expected that some bugs are in it but i just like to test out the latest stuff and help a little where possible.
It looks good (specially the new icon theme (not everywhere applied yet!?) and the window decorations. Fedora is gonna get a nice authentic look in this release (or so it seems).
Good job so far!!
Some reply's on this please.
I did some further investigation and found out that i am able to make a qireless connection IF i make a cable connection first (big bug). Also the nm-applet icon is sometimes not visable!! and most of the time the nm-applat only shows when i run: "NetworkManager" under root.
When it's not run under ruut but as a user i get this error:"Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": libgnomebreakpad.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
Any solution for this??
Thanx.

I was wondering about that error, so I looked into it. The latest upstream bug-buddy has some code in it from google which enables the gnomebreakpad functionality. Unfortunately, it doesn't even come close to building on non-i686 platforms, which is probably why we haven't bumped to that version.

That bug seems to address the issue i'm getting with nm-applet. stranger is that knetworkmanager is working just fine..
i just entered a new bug report just in case: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=254009
And a temporary solution for it: install knetworkmanager and use that one instead of nm-applet.

That and there are some other questions upstream about where to place some of its files/libraries. We're waiting for that to settle down before we bump.
