Surprises on upgrading to F13

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

 



I finally managed to upgrade, after a day or so of frustration with what
appears to be a bug in Anaconda
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=596387) and have a few
comments to make:

1) Contrary to previous Fedora upgrades, the upgrade proceeds as soon as
you hit Next on the Grub config dialogue. No chance to change your mind,
you are now committed. Even though the docs say that this happens, it's
still a surprise. It would be nice to have a final confirmation before
committing to the upgrade. I seem to remember that's how it used to be
but maybe I'm raving.

2) The documentation at http://docs.fedoraproject.org mentions several
ways to install, check media etc., which include the phrase "type the
following command at the <boot:> prompt:". What it doesn't say is how to
get the boot prompt. In fact as far as I can tell there *is* no boot
prompt. Instead, there's the line-editing mode we know from the usual
Fedora boot screen, including the full set of boot options. i.e. the doc
is misleading. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=597012

3) If you have an existing nomodeset in grub.conf, Anaconda just leaves
it there, even though the new video driver (Intel in my case) requires
KMS. This means the system won't boot correctly until you edit
grub.conf. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=597016

4) kdm wouldn't start on first boot,
because /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes/Goddard was missing. Had to
install it by hand. I'll report this to BZ if someone tells me what to
report against.

5) Currently qbittorrent won't run, with this error:

qbittorrent: error while loading shared libraries:
libboost_system-mt.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory

However I have libboost_system-mt.so.1.41.0. What's going on here?

That's about it for now.
