F21 testing - experience with the workstation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi!

I installed F21 from Alpha-TC3 yesterday. The installation went
smoothly. However, anaconda tends to flicker a lot. I've now seen this
on two machines. There's a bug filed here[1]. 

Now, I keep the same /home partition between my installs. I created an
admin user in anaconda but gnome still asked me to create one. Weirdly
enough, this only happened on one machine. On the other one,
gnome-initial-setup didn't come up, it just brought up gdm.

The difference was in the user login name, I *think*. For F20, the login
for "Ankur Sinha" was "asinha". This time, it appears to have changed to
"ankursinha". I had to manually delete stuff and set my permissions etc.
Not too big a deal. I'll see if I can reproduce this on a VM and file a
bug if I can. While I was fixing this, I ran into another interesting
issue - there's no way to differentiate users with the same name in gdm.
I've filed a bug for this too[2].

F21 workstation itself is quite stable. I haven't had any crashes. A few
nitpicks:
- dnf is unable to install groups at the moment[3]
- some packages are unsigned so --nogpg is sort of compulsory at the
moment. known issue iirc.
- shotwell is still unusable for me[4]
