Is anyone running proper rawhide ( not F13 crap )

leigh123linux · #1 27th February 2010, 10:09 AM

I just wondered if anyone is running F14? , it seems less buggy than F13

So far, so good.

Are you running Nvidia or Nouveau?

Nouveau - I read the post about 3D coming to Nouveau http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=240573. Guess it's not quite there yet.

Nouveau didn't work here either for 3D, I will stick to Nvidia as 3D is a must for testing compiz packages.

All is fine in my rawhide, except that my gnome-shell has been broken since quite a few days. Are any of you able to run gnome-shell. I'm on intel graphics.

Gnome-shell crashes here on F13 & F14 ( 7600GT with nvidia driver )

Sounds like someones forgot to move they stock money to the new emerging market.

Not much reason for the average bloke to be running rawhide anymore.

I've been running it on a netbook, but with fluxbox (so no Noveau, no Gnome). Hrrm, say that five times fast.

Big thumbs up for F14 here, everything that I have used works and I like the new gnome theme

F14 does seem smother than F13.

hello,

i am using also F14 without any problems so far, with nvidia drivers (8600M GS) and gnome-shell is not working either..

dd_wizard · #12 28th February 2010, 09:19 PM

The first thing I noticed is the new fonts, nice!

Well, after some F13-F14 repo chaos and missing gpg keys, it works.

I have a silly question. Is it possible to play with gnome-shell w/o having 3D acceleration working? I refuse installing it on my real hardware, mainly because of the rc kernel (I still remember 2.6.27rc and some Intel NIC madness...)

RahulSundaram · #14 1st March 2010, 10:43 AM

Hi

Nope You need 3D acceleration which is one of the reasons why Red Hat is investing on getting ATI and Nouveau acceleration done and there is nothing wrong with trying out RC kernels You can always boot into the older version if necessary If software can damage hardware it is definitely a hardware bug as well and such instances are extremely rare and can happen in non RC versions as well

Maryyy · #15 1st March 2010, 12:13 PM

Thx.

I just got a crazy idea. I never used it, but IIRC, VBox has the ability to pass the 3D accel features to guests, could it work? If nobody tried, I'll definitely give it a shot when I get home. Though, I don't hold my breath.
