Wow - that's a big improvement here. Thank you, Scott. I was running "ifup pci7p1" after every boot. Now I don't have to log in as root at all, I can just startx (until I figure out how to install qingy, that is).

Sonoron,

Can't reproduce that and comps certainly does list twm in that group. No idea what you are doing that is different.

@both of you (Rahul and Sonoran), I *think* that you will find:

If you install from DVD and choose minmal, you will find that /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-pciSomething will have onboot no and nm_controlled yes. If you install with net.iso, it has onboot yes, but still nm_controlled, so doesn't work. I'm pretty sure it's this way in RHEL6 and its offshoots as well. It's been this way awhile, it's become almost automatic for me to fix it.

I agree it's a bug, but it's one that doesn't bother me enough to file bugzilla on it. I don't have that much time these days, so I save it for the ones that are important to me.

Hi Rahul~
That groupinfo list is certainly different than what I got using groupinstall. My guess is the minimal netinst.iso install caused this. Notice I also got matchbox-windowmanager in addition to openbox, but not twm.

If I succeed in messing up my F15 Beta RC2 - which is likely - I will try the same install again and save the yum output of the groupinstall.

But thank you for looking into it.

@smr54 -

If you install with net.iso, it has onboot yes, but still nm_controlled, so doesn't work.

That sounds right. My minimal install logs were full of Network Manager and Modem Manager error messages.

created Beta RC2 desktop 64bit live-usb-media

it starts booting; half way it stops; black screen with something about changing into debug-shell; error shown was about the new /run directory and dracut.

tried it with Dell Latitude and Acer Travelmate

Adam explained on the mailing list that my selinux bug was due to a network install--it was grabbing from mirrors that probably hadn't been synced. Doing an update today fixed that one (the selinux dbus thingie).

[RahulSundaram]

Boot with enforcing=0 and do a yum update

[smr54]

Sorry, I should have been more specific--that was Adam's advice and what I did. @sonoran, that does seem to fix the selinux issue. (The selinux-targeted should be version-13---if it's <version>-12 it will have the problem.

Installed Fedora 15 RC2 with netinstall. NM kept screwing up both wired and wireless network with full update. I am not sure if dhcp is the culprit on x86_64 because that bug does not happen with Gnome 3 Lived based on i686 Fedora 15 Beta.

[Dan]

I suspect the x86_64 version does indeed have some individual issues. it has vapor-locked on my AMD Phenom quad-core badly and often enough in all iterations tried that I have not attempted to install it on the desktop machine. The i686 on the laptop, however, is running reasonably well.

[smr54]

In my case, I've been working with the x86_64 on VirtualBox without too many issues, save for the two I mentioned, and that selinux one is either completely fixed or will be once all mirrors sync.

The network issue with minimal install is, as I said, a minor one for me, and has been that way for awhile.

You Gnome folks have far more of an adjustment to make. What I find interesting, as an objective (i.e., non Gnome using) observer is how those who are new to it seem to like it.

[Dan]

Indeed. And entirely understandable. To those who have never tasted Chicken Cordon Bleu served with iced Constant Comment, deep fried Critter McNuggets and a diet Coke seem like a pretty good meal.
