Fixed/Workarounds

GDM and autofs seems to have a problem:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=242464

Was actually an autofs bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=242230 fixed in updates

GIMP plugin symlinks before F7 were broken. After upgrading to F7, execute the following;

su -c "/usr/sbin/gimp-plugin-mgr --install '*'"

Gnumeric has a missing dependency. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=242163

yum install libgsf-gnome solves it.

Evolution hangs https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=245289 fixed in updates-testing.

Misc

The time format of ls has changed.

-rw-------  1 andrew andrew     79 2006-08-07 14:22 route-eth0

vs old behaviour

-rw-------  1 andrew andrew     79 Aug  7  2006 route-eth0

To get back the old behaviour, 2 possible fix's.

In your ~/.bash_profile

1)

alias ls='LC_TIME=C ls --color=auto'

or 2)

--time-style=STYLE
              with -l, show times using style STYLE: full-iso, long-iso,  iso,
              locale,  +FORMAT.   FORMAT is interpreted like ‘date’; if FORMAT
              is FORMAT1<newline>FORMAT2, FORMAT1 applies to non-recent  files
              and FORMAT2 to recent files; if STYLE is prefixed with ‘posix-’,
              STYLE takes effect only outside the POSIX locale

In your ~/.bash_profile

newline='
'
alias ls='ls --time-style="+%b %e  %Y$newline%b %e %H:%M" --color=auto'

cdrecord has been replaced by wodim from the cdrkit project. wodim should be interface compatible with cdrecord.

Firefox

You can run the 32bit version of firefox via firefox-32 (this is available under FC6 also). Once everyone is onto F8 the firefox's from thor will be removed.
