Known release problem

ISO image issues

Run ROSA in basic mode doesn't launch the live mode

There is a mistake in the launching command for this item. Just don't use it for now.

Hardware issues

After installation system fails to boot from time to time

For some video cards (especially embedded in AMD ATI 6300 chipsets) boot process can fail. To solve this problem, edit the following line in the /etc/default/grub file (with root privileges):

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT='splash=silent logo.nologo'

and add nomodeset option:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT='splash=silent logo.nologo nomodeset'

Then update grub2 with the following command:

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Software issues

Proprietary components are missing, as well as many applications

Enable non-free, restricted and contrib repositories in the media sources configuration.

A message about missing update sources is displayed

Update repositories and possibility to update using GUI tools will be available only after release. Currently you can update to the latest versions of packages from console using the following command (under root):

urpmi --auto-update

A lot of gtk/gtk2/gtk3 errors

There can be errors with gtk applications, or such aplications may not work at all. We will be glad to know about such cases since since update of gtk stack is not completed yet.

DEs except KDE4 don't work

Gnome3 and LXDE are supported by community and may not work properly at the moment. Maybe the situation will be improved in RC

New graphical themes are not applied

Since gtk3 theme for ROSA is not ready yet, there can be some differences in appearance of different applications.
