After successfully installing RC3 and adding various
packages to compile gnuradio et al. I issued a
yum -y --skip-broken update
This pparently updated Noveau or something to a
version that doesn't quite work. The cursor does
not appear and I was unable to log in by using
tab and cursor keys.
This Noveau thing has happened once or twice before with F18.
This time I was able to install the latest NVIDIA driver but the
machine then locks up when I try to start X.
Intel Core CPU, 8GB, Nvidia 480GT
Changing "rhgb quiet" to "nomodeset" in grub.cfg results in a
workable system that displays the cursor. Unfortunately it
won't use my monitor's full 1920 resolution but it's better than
something that is profoundly broken.
This sounds like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=857300 .
You only need to drop 'rhgb' to work around it, no need to drop 'quiet'
or add 'nomodeset' (which results in the system using the 'vesa' driver,
which will be slow in addition to the issues mentioned above). To fix it
just grab the kernel update -
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-3.6.0-0.rc6.git0.2.fc18 .
This version is much nicer than the one I downloaded today.
I trust it will be part of the public Alpha!
No, it missed. The workaround of taking 'rhgb' out of the boot
parameters was considered enough for Alpha. I've written the issue up on
common bugs.
Sorry to say, removing the rhgb quite didn't always fix it.
I had to cycle power.
The rc6 kernel is so much better it really should get in.
