First look at FC2T2

[Féliciano Matias]

Sorry for my poor English.

My hardware :
$ lspci

My mouse is a "Generic - 3 Button Mouse (PS/2)" .

I do a fresh install of FC2T3. I have copied initrd.img and vmlinuz in
my hard drive and add :
title Fedora Core (install)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192 askmethod
        initrd /initrd.img

in grub.conf

I use hard drive method to install FC2T3. The installation is done in
French. Profile workstation.

When anaconda start X11, if I move my mouse at the same time, X11 failed
with :
XIO : fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":1.0"
after 0 requests (0 know processed) with 0 events remaining.
Install exited abnormally.

Bug already filed :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=107231

In firstboot, the keyboard is qwerty. Known bug (reopen):
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=100686
NB : Component=rhgb   Is this correct ?

Firstboot doesn't configure the display. Known bug :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121729

xorg-x11-truetype-fonts is not installed by default. Normal ?

Mouse not configured for gpm. Known issue :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=114591
Product: RHEL

btw, why do we need /etc/sysconfig/gpm if gpm seams to not use it.

The sound is muted. Known bug :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119866

mdmpd failed to startup. Known issue :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=117498

rhnsd is start by default. Is this useful for Fedora ?
$ chkconfig --list rhnsd
rhnsd           0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off


In /etc/X11/xorg.conf, i have :
Section "InputDevice"
[...]
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection

Why ? I have a "real" 3 buttons mouse.


Questions :
Where is ~/.xsession-errors ?

RFE :
Can Fedora load pcspkr module by default ?
I do this with /etc/rc.d/rc.local .

Please, add :
alias mv="mv -i"
alias cp="cp -i"
alias rm="rm -i"
in /etc/skel/.bashrc

Conclusion : Good job ! FC2T3 is far better than T2.

Another bug here :
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119982

Perhaps the more annoying in FC2 for me. It's take some times to find a
workaround.

don't think so! Why not have the fonts if xorg was installed?

was the option Emulate 3 Buttons
checked in anaconda? It should be
unchecked by default if 3 buttons mouse selected.

it is not the first time I install a RedHat/Fedora system :-)
I use RedHat since 4.2.

I'll do a new fresh install to confirm.

After a new fresh install, everything is confirmed.

There is no checkbox in anaconda to emulate a 3 buttons mouse in
anaconda with FC2 (unlike FC1).
