Re: Fedora 22 Workstation Beta Release Candidate 1
Hi, my laptop is an Acer E15 E5-571G. Hybrid Grafics (Intel/Nvidia Geforce 840M). No problems in installing and using Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64_Beta-1.iso so far. -Ursprüngliche Mitteilung- Von: Adam Williamson adamw...@fedoraproject.org An: For testing and quality assurance of Fedora releases test@lists.fedoraproject.org Verschickt: Do, 9 Apr 2015 4:51 pm Betreff: Re: Fedora 22 Workstation Beta Release Candidate 1 On Wed, 2015-04-08 at 13:49 -0700, Luya Tshimbalanga wrote: Downloaded Workstation Beta Release Candidate 1.

Thanks! It'd be good to have more data on how widespread this problem is. Some applications like Libre Office will crash X sesion meaning the bug is possibly related to the driver (xorg-x11-drv-ati). On my installed Fedora 22, these applications will run fine on Wayland. Speaking of Gnome on Wayland, multimedia application like Cheese and Totem and also Gnome-battery-bench will segment fault when trying to start it. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1206809 Known issues on that session are Drag and Drop and the inability to copy and paste from Wayland application (Gedit) to XWayland application (Firefox). On both sessions, there is a lag of plugins in and out the laptop power outlet. Without a proper battery power management and optimization, this laptop lasts about two hours. Those are covering the status of Workstation 22 Beta Release Candidate 1.

I don't know wether this one has hybrid graphics, but the F22 Beta RC1 Workstation live image does not reach a desktop. It hangs with the fedora logo. I think it does, yeah - google results for VN7-571G optimus indicate so. Do you have the same experience as others - you can get to a console with ctrl-alt-f2, log in as 'liveuser' (no password), run 'startx', and the desktop shows up? -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

I've just tried Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-22_Beta-1.iso on a USB-stick. I don't reach the desktop, the session apparently stucks with the message A start job is running for Wait For Plymouth Screen to Quit. startx on another TTY makes me correctly jump to a Gnome session. -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
