Hello, test-list,
One install attempt report.
Text install of Fedora Core 4 test 1 onto an Athlon64 (so x86_64)
with a Radeon 9000 and no whacky hardware. Only reason for the text
install was the lack of a mouse when I started. The install appeared
to go really smoothly, quickly and successfully, but, in retrospect,
I should have found a mouse earlier.
Two big issues for me:
* firstboot did not run on completion of the install (solution is
to install gnome-python2-gnomevfs, incidentally)
* for some reason the text install did not ask me what language I
wanted the machine to run in, although it did ask what language I
wanted the installer to run in. On first login. it declared my
locale to be POSIX. Urrr.. :)
So, bugs:
Found someone had already bugzilla'd:
151349 up2date "select all" only selects the first package
151867 After installation firstboot errors with numerous python errors stating GtkDeprecationWarning
Added more to the already bugzilla'd:
146862 yelp - "Could not load section" alerts for obviously existing stuff
153214 kernel - media check failure all disks
New bugs:
153269 RH website - Site unreadable with narrow browser window: text continues off-screen somewhere
153272 yelp - Welsh translation missing in yelp, despite presence of .mo file
153285 anaconda - text install did not offer language selections for post-install
153289 anaconda - text install did not ask me to create non-root users
(moved to firstboot, about to be duped, I expect)
153292 xorg-x11 - DDC probe failed on ATI Radeon 9000
153293 xorg-x11 - "mess" on root window after using scrollbar in a terminal (but only at certain resolutions)
153317 gnome-panel - notification applet crashed when I changed the default theme in Gnome
153320 yelp - yelp complains "could not load section" when invoked via right-click on an applet and choosing "help"
There are a range of other issues, but I am currently waiting for
up2date to sort its dependencies out before filing them. (This is
of course a text-mode up2date in order to avoid #151349 :))
No idea what's going on with the language thing at all. It's making
my head hurt, as /etc/sysconfig/i18n had one locale, and root was
resolutely sitting in POSIX despite this.
