FC6T3 Install results

[Gerry Tool]

Fresh install from DVD

1. During install had error messages “Error opening /dev/sda. No medium
found.” This occurred for all four slots (sda, sdb, sdc, sdd) in USB
memory card reader.  This has never occurred before.  Is it useful to
probe these devices during install, perhaps in case they are USB drives
to which an install might occur?  I'm not sure the error messages are
useful even then.

2. Selected all 3 software categories plus Fedora Extras. Could not
continue install due to message:

“An error occurred unmounting the CD. Please make sure you're not
accessing /mnt/source from the shell on tty2 and then click OK to
retry.”

I restarted the install and left the Fedora Extras unchecked this time.
Installation proceeded as expected, and customization of packages worked
fine.

Post Install setup went flawlessly.

3. I have a zip drive, in which I have a disk. I clicked on the desktop
Computer icon and then Zip drive icon. A nautilus window opened with /
contents instead of zip drive contents. Second attempt opened Zip
contents. This is repeatable on reboot, but not on logout/login.

4. There is no longer a check box in the nautilus Properties > Behavior
tab to set nautilus to open in browser format by default.  This means
each time I want a browser (95% of the time) I need to right-click and
select an option.  Is there another way to set the default?

5. The desktop Create Launcher dialog no longer has a URL type.
However, using the file type and setting the Location to an internet URl
does create a proper launcher.

6. Overall appearance is great.  The gdm login screen is very sharp,
though some would judge it to be foreboding.

The error dialogs aren't supposed to pop up -- clumens tracked down why
it was happening yesterday, it was just a smidge too late for the
freeze.

Yeah, selecting Extras on a CD install right now isn't likely to work.
I unfortunately ran out of time with traveling last week :/  If there's
interest in testing it, I can put together an updates.img to try to let
people test and see if things work

There's an option in gconf I believe

No nautilus pref selection for default browser mode (was FC6T3 Install results)

Yes, once I realized I hadn't selected gconf-editor for installation, 
installed it with yum, found my way through the XML tree, and checked 
the box, browser mode is now default on my FC6T3 system.

However, I think it is a serious omission to not have this as a 
selection in the nautilus Edit > Preferences > Behavior tab as it is in 
FC5 and as I believe it was in FC6T2 - too late to check since I 
overwrote it with FC6T3.

The first harm this omission will cause is create another round of 
argument about spatial mode being forced on people who do not like it. I 
do like spatial mode for some uses, but after using it as default for 
more than a year, I recently decided that browser mode was more useful 
to me.

Do I need to report this as a bug against nautilus?

Thanks.

I'll answer myself.  This checkbox most likely requires that 
gconf-editor be installed.  It makes sense that it is so.  The checkbox 
now appears in the Behavior tab after installing gconf-editor.

There is no such dependency. And it seems very weird that something
entierly unrelated like installing a package would affect the nautilus
configuration dialog. Are you sure it wasn't there before installing
gconf-editor?

I am now sure that I must have overlooked the checkbox item when I first 
looked for it.  I just did a fresh install as close as possible the same 
as the previous one, and indeed the checkbox item is there without 
installing gconf-editor.

I apologize for my inaccuracy and the false alarm and will look for some 
kind of brain enhancement pills to take.

Thanks.

Thats odd. I still see the "Always open in browser windows" checkbox 
in the behavior tab in my test3 installation...

I'm glad that this is still in preferences for selection. I hope that 
the always use text-entry location bar is there as well.

One thing that I do not understand is putting preferences selections in 
gconf-editor instead of the application you want to get to work as you 
may desire. Also, why is gconf-editor mot installed by default if it is 
needed to configure sanity into applications?

I'm still downloading the DVD image so I did not install test 3 yet. I 
hope that the choices are still there in preferences > behavior.

Hi Jim,

Please do me a favor and check whether gconf-editor is selected by 
default when you do the install.  I suspect I caused my own problem by 
deselecting it, but can't remember that I did for sure.  I agree that 
the application itself should have sufficient facilities to provide the 
selection mechanism.  The "always use text-entry location bar" 
preference is there if gconf-editor is installed.

Thanks.

I'll check to see if gconf-editor is installed by default. I believe 
that the last clean install did not pull in this program. If the choice 
only shows up with gconf-editor installed, something is a little out of 
the ordinary.

gconf-editor is not in the default install for FC6. But the presence or
absence of gconf-editor has no influence on what preferences are
visible. And in fact, I see the "always open in browser window" checkbox
in a default install without gconf-editor.

Hey, it's not nice to make an old coot think he's losing his mind!  I 
tested your statement by removing gconf-editor and rebooting, and guess 
what?  The checkbox is still there!

I swear I was sober and lucid the first time I went looking for it to 
get rid of the spatial view, and could not find it.  If I have time 
tomorrow, I'll try a new install and try to duplicate the package 
selection as closely as I can. If it isn't there this time, I'll make a 
screen shot.  If it is there, I'll ....

Thanks.  Gerry

Well.... it is also in mine now that I have installed the gconf-editor 
package in order to set this feature.  That dialog must depend on 
gconf-editor to set this feature - actually makes sense to me.

I suspect it was my bad - I probably deselected gconf-editor while 
making detailed software selections.

Thanks.

FC6T3 + updates: system_configure-display and system_configure-soundcard crash or cant start from text mode

[ron flory]

hi-

  After a fresh install system-configure-[display,soundcard] started
and interacted with the user (but didn't really work, but thats
another bug report) when launched from text mode.

  After applying the 100+ or so updates both progs fail to start or
segfault when launched from text mode.

  Neither (especially the display setup) should require X to be running
prior to launch.

  Running an Acer Aspire 5601AWLMi laptop.

kernel-detected exception during startup (SELinux ? )

[ron flory]

hi-

  I saw this during first post-install startup and after
the 100+ updates.  This happens with SELinux enabled and
disabled.

  Running Acer Aspire 5601AWLMi laptop (recent system w/ 2 cores).
The same problem seemed to exist in FC6T2.

FC6T3 Install on Acer Aspire 5601AWLMi laptop (long)

[ron flory]

hi-

  Fresh install of TC6T3 using DVD.

1. intel 82801G (ICH7 Family) Sound card is silent (same problem under
    FC6T2).

    correctly under FC6T2 once I told it the LCD capabilities.

A few weeks back there was a long thread on either fedora or fedora-test
list about the sound on an Acer laptop not working. There was a solution
posted. Iirc the solution is getting a recent alsa version and
installing that one.

X does not even come up if I don't add something likethis to xorg.conf
in the videocard section:

Options MonitorLayout "LVDS,NONE"

Maybe try that since 1024x768 looks like the max output of the tv out.

Patrick

The default i810 video driver can only set modes to those listed in the 
video BIOS, and you bought a machine with a sufficiently broken BIOS to 
not list the native panel size.

You can either yell at Acer to fix their video BIOS, or try using the 
'intel' driver instead, by changing the line

     Driver "i810"

in xorg.conf to

     Driver "intel"

If this works for you, please post the output of 'lspci -v -n -s 0:2' so 
I can add this machine to the whitelist for the new driver.

  Thanks, that rattled my memory.

  Running the '915resolution' prog from
http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/download.html in a rc. startup
to hack a proper video bios mode line lets X choose the correct
resolution.

Using the intel driver is a better solution and will work better with
things like suspend/resume :)

Given that we are never, ever, going to ship 915resolution in Core, I 
would appreciate it if you'd test the 'intel' driver as well, since the 
next major release of the i810 driver is expected to be based on that 
branch.
