One of the problem with cooker is that sometimes we don't know the status for many things. I propose to update this page and show regression and improvement from previous releases known bugs and new bugs. It will not be complete as qa.mandrakesoft.com but it will be a good start just to have a quick idea. Unless if it's about major apps ( OpenOffice, Samba, OpenLDAP, MYSQL/PostgreSQL, Apache, KDE, Gnome, Postfix, NFS, NIS ), apps should not appear. It's easy to perform a query with bugzilla. For example concerning the status of following things. I select some from errata, I know the status as I dig in bugzilla to see the status but I think that this should be explicitly show. I select some from forum where some users have some common problem just after the base install and others from discussion in cooker ML : - Using a loopback root filesystem, / is not mounted after a fresh install - USB coldplug ( I had problems with an USB printer not correctly initialise during boot if it was plug. Need to switch it off, unplug/plug, ... ) - RandR support - Software suspend ( known issues, requires, ... ) - winmodem support ( I know that there are some opensource drivers, have they been include ? which chip is supported ? ... ) - Strange "type read" error after formatting partitions on AMD-K6 systems - Install hangs on systems with 1GB or more of memory - Installation is extremely slow - Special XFree86 keys do not work when using a non-latin keyboard layout - Unable to log back into KDE when screen is locked - Raid on / fails after boot - Mouse goes crazy when selecting a PS2 wheel mouse - X sometimes hangs after a period of inactivity - boot problem with Promise based IDE controllers - nForce2 UDMA/133 reporting - Adaptec SCSI card support ( mostly pb with aic79xx ) - ACL support in XFS filesystem - wireless/wifi support Note : a new entry should be add in hardware compatibility list for wifi hardware. I plan to set a wifi network but I don't know the status of the compatibility with mdk - SATA support - USB Sagem800 installation status ( I see several posts on forum reporting pb with connection/modem initialisation ) http://forum.hardware.fr/forum2.php3?post=27420&cat=11&config=&interface=&cache=&sondage=&owntopic=&p=1&trash=&subcat= - Alcatel Speedtouch status - ATI Radeon status ( which cards are not supported ) - Nvidia status ( which card are not supported, are they issues with nvidia drivers installation/compilation ? ) - FAT32 windows partition normal user write access ( for boot mount partition so user is useless ) http://forum.hardware.fr/forum2.php3?post=27845&cat=11&config=&interface=&cache=cache&sondage=&owntopic=&p=3&trash=&subcat= - integrated AC97 sound card support ( see several post for pb with some i810 sound card with no sound even if it was detect and configure by harddrake ) : http://forum.hardware.fr/forum2.php3?post=27764&cat=11&config=&interface=&cache=cache&sondage=&owntopic=&p=3&trash=&subcat= i810_audio : Intel Corporation|ICH4 845G/GL Chipset AC'97 Audio Controller - Mozilla localisation ( Fr localisation when system is installed with FR ) - LDAP auth - ALSA status ( seems to have some regressions recently ) - DVB support ( issues, working hardware, installation tips ) Note : need to add an entry to hardware compatibility list for DVB card if support will be add - drakxtools status ( drakconnect, DrakX, rpmdrake, XFdrake, draksplash ) - OpenOffice.org 1.1 status ( I know it will be for RC2, but are there problem ? are we goind to faces difficulties ? ) - NFS support ( stable, issues, ... ) - Reiserfs ( issues ? with lilo ? ) - Opengroupware status ( issues, installation/configuration tips ) Please feel free to add entries, but I'd rather see this on wiki ...
