I tried to login on a desktop session in the current rawhide. It greats me with a big alert about XKB errors. This alert has a long text which cannot be copied with a mouse but in any case it asks for some data which boil down to this: $ xprop -root | grep XKB _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "us", "", "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp," _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "us", "", "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp," $ gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard model '' $ gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard layouts @as [] $ gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard options @as [] After that nautilus does not start, a deskop background is not set (although background preferences clearly "know" what was expected only it is ignored), a keyboard is broken and keyboard preferences settings are a sorry joke as they do not have any options for layout changes, a sound volume cannot be changed with a mouse (a slider jumps to 100% when touched and that is it) and everything is slow as molasses. A mouse pointer does not move but jerks from time to time. What gives and is this expected now? I am not sure even where to start with bugs filing. After typing login data to the moment panel menus started to react it was 125 seconds (you are reading that correctly) of a wall clock time. This is on x86_64 machine with model name : AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 142 stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 1600.065 It does have "only" half gig of memory on board. With System->Preferences->Keyboard picked up it took 35 seconds for a "Keyboard" window to appear and in this windown you can find only some keypress and cursor blink delays and a keyboard shortcuts for things like muting sound or launching a calculator. The first things first. How to fix now a keyboard layout? Those things which were under "Options" in "Layouts" tab in Fedora 13. Anybody knows?
