tonight's observations on F21 -> F22

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

 



Old old host gx260, i845G video, single core 2.4GHz P4, 1G RAM; KDE.

Method used:
(update F21; reboot; suffer through (clock-related/superblock last mount time
in the future) boot fsck on all 8 previously mounted partitions)
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum
# rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-22-$(uname -i)
# yum update yum
# yum clean all
# yum --releasever=22 distro-sync

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1186018 hit me (again)

/ freespace on start: 43%
/ freespace on completion: 35%
packages upgraded, ~660
new packages installed, ~168

Reboot command failed to reboot. After several minutes waiting with nothing
apparently happening, I forced it via power switch. On reboot, I ran 2
commands, then '#reboot', and fsck was required on / again. Repeat, another
forced / fsck, and again, ad nauseum.

Startx produced the first KF5 desktop I've ever seen. All installations here
before this always crashed trying to get KDE to start. Yuck! WRT the artwork.
I can't recall ever being displeased with Fedora's KDE startup splash or
default desktop background image before.

Font settings doesn't offer bolding of window title. :-( It's font style
chooser doesn't fit even 3 full rows, reminds me of idiotic Windows 95 select
windows only 3 rows tall on a screen with room for 40+ rows. I suppose blame
for this belongs on upstream.

By country/location UI for date/time selection is horrid. I want iso 8601 for
everything. Where is it? What does "Default - (C)" mean? Upstream to blame
for this too. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340982

Trying to have time set automatically via settings fails.

Settings panel bad as KDE4, still doesn't provide enough item width to
display all item text even on wrapped items. (DPI>96)

I saved the journal for the upgrade boot in case anyone wants it for anything.
