Initial FC7t4 impressions
by Tom Horsley
The good
--------
Hey! It recognized my DVD drive this time, I didn't have to
install from hard disk.
Even more amazing, I turn on desktop effects, and for the
first time ever, they have worked with every application I've
tried so far (previously about half the apps I'd start would
have their titlebar wind up underneath the panel, making them
hard to move :-).
Dependency checking on packages is indeed faster, I'd now call
it merely annoying rather than glacial :-).
Most amazing of all (knock on wood), so far xorg bugs 2859
and/or 8790 have not cropped up. No flickering on and off of
the display (even with GL stuff which had the habit of
triggering it previously). Needs to be up longer for me to be
confident of this one though.
The bad
-------
I'm running updates, it finally finished downloading, and the
first thing I see is a popup message that says:
Unable to verify exiv2-0.14-1.fc7.x86_64
Details: Not installing key
I click on apply updates again, and now I get a popup asking
if I should import the key (did not see that the first
time). Did it grab the $#@! focus away from my emacs while I
was in the middle of typing something it interpreted as cancel
when I wasn't even looking at the screen? If you are gonna
have an app that runs forever like the updater does, the last
thing on earth it should ever do is grab focus. By the time it
wants input, people have forgotten it is even running.
The IMSmap screensaver (I downloaded all the screensavers from
extras to beat on the ATI driver) locks up the system for
several minutes. I can move the cursor, but nothing else
responds, not even Ctrl-Alt-F1. As I was reaching for the
reset button after trying lots of stuff, the Ctrl-Atl-F1
finally happened, so I went ahead and logged in and typed
"reboot" to get back here into FC6.
Will you for God's sake figure out what category the
"terminal" application belongs in and leave it there! Every
single release I have to play "find the terminal" (better yet,
put it in the panel by default - that's the first thing I
always do :-). Did you pickup this habit from Microsoft, who
also moves the "console" entry around in every single Windows
release?
The ugly
--------
The 3 icons for office apps that show up in the gnome panel
(word processor, presentation, spreadsheet) are, without a
doubt, the ugliest icons I have ever seen. They are garish
colors that clash with everything else I see on the screen
when I first login, and they look like they are drunk and
about to fall over.

fc7t4 hpt66 drives not found
by Joshua Andrews
I did an upgrade from fc6 and have had many problems getting the system
to boot fc7t4.
My system has an old highpoint ATA66 controller with 2 drives on it, hde
and hdg under fc6, but they are not found by fc7 even after labeling
them and editing fstab to use labels. The system would only boot after I
removed all reference to the drives from fstab. I tried making a new
initrd --with=pata_hpt66 but still no joy. `fdisk -l` only lists the
drive on the primary IDE controller.
any ideas?
thanks

FC7 Test 4 GNOME based i386 Live CD - problems with SCSI CD-ROM booting
by Arch Willingham
I have gone around our building trying the two versions of the live CD almost all of them boot just fine except for two. Two of our computers have SCSI based CD-ROM's. In both cases the controllers are Adaptec AHA 2940UW......one computer is an old piece of junk (Intel P3, 256 MB RAM) and the other is a newer computer (clone with ASUS motherboard and 1 GB of memory, AMD 3800).
In both cases, the CD starts to boot and then gets to a point where it says something to the effect of (I have a hard time reading my handwriting so this may not be exact):
Warning: cannot find root file system.
Create symlink /dev/root and then exit the shell to continue the boot sequence.
Bash: no job control in this shell

FC7 Test 4 Gnome based i386 Live CD - problems with login
by Arch Willingham
I booted the FC7 Test 4 GNOME based i386 Live CD. This may seem intuitive to people that are test users (and it may not be this way in the final release) but when it asks for a user login, how would Joe Blow know what to put in for a user name and password? I ended up guessing to use "root" and no password but how would an end user know?

FC7 T4 impressions
by Fulko Hew
I just installed T4 on my Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop (for testing)
and here are my observations:
1/ Kweather is missing.
2/ Whats the difference between Klaptop and KPowerSave?
I seem to get both, and as usual with competing software,
they each have their features, and each are missing
useful features from the other. :-(
3/ I'd like to test Intel 3945 wireless support, but I have
no idea what the procedure would be to install whatever
needs installing. Do I use the same process I used in
FC6? or is it different because of new software in FC7?
4/ ACPI w.r.t. closing the lid is now built in, and auto-invokes
Xscreenlock. (FC6 would have kept the display black unless
you manually added additional software.) Yipee!
5/ W915 resolution is no longer needed. Wide screen works
properly, out-of-the-box. Yipee!
6/ When I plug in my USB disk drive that has two Ext3 filesystems
on it, I get two icons on the desktop, but when I click on
either icon, and select 'safely remove'... both filesystems
are unmounted. (KDE) Note: You can still use the umount
command to unmount each filesystem individually, Its just
the icon that behaves inconsistently? ;-|
Having written this, maybe its a feature that...
If you unmount one partition of a USB device,
all partitions on the device are unmounted,
so you can remove the device without
forgetting about the 'other' partitions.

Upgrading on a LVM based system
by Martin Sourada
Hi all,
Since Fedora 7 Test 4 is finally out, I am about upgrading my FC6 and thus help
with testing F7. The problem is I created one logical group with three logical
volumes in it: /, /boot and /home and I'd like to keep this layout and the /home
volume. Is there any way how can I do clean install of F7 into this layout
without having to erase the /home partition?
Thanks for your suggestions,
Martin

openldap-2.3.30-2.fc6 upgrade logic still not work for me
by Kazutoshi Morioka
Although it's not a common problem, but only for peoples enabling
updates-testing repo. After I update to openldap-2.3.30-2.fc6 from
openldap-2.3.30-1.fc6.1, slapd always respond with zero result.
It seems that /var/lib/ldap/upgrade.ldif is left and database is empty.
I restored database by hand from /var/lib/ldap/rpmorig/, and slapd
is responding query again now.
