<title>Useful notes on upgrading</title>
|
|
<para>When upgrading from previous releases you may run into some of
|
|
the following use cases. Follow the recommended instructions to minimize
|
|
potential problems.</para>

<sect3 id="release-notes-r14.0.8-hints-dbus">
|
|
<title>Removed dbus policy at_console</title>
|
|
<para>A newer version of SystemD has removed the dbus policy at_console.
|
|
Because the TDE does not yet contain a policykit agent (this will be addressed
|
|
in R14.1.0), a plugdev group policy has been added in the default TDE Hardware
|
|
Control daemon dbus configuration. This group should be available on most
|
|
systems. To enable communication with the TDE Hardware Control daemon, add
|
|
users to the plugdev group.</para>
|
|
<para>Note: If a policykit is installed but a policykit agent is not
|
|
available, it does not work well. In this case, it is advisable to
|
|
uninstall policykit to allow the use of dbus rules.</para>

<title>Test failures in r14-xdg-update</title>
|
|
<para>If you experience test failures at login time during the execution of
|
|
the r14-xdg-update script, please try logging out and logging in again. Most
|
|
failures will be automatically fixed. In case of persistent failures that
|
|
don't get automatically recovered, please contact the TDE team on their
|
|
official channels (mailing lists or IRC).</para>
|
|
<para>For example you may experience TEST9 failures if you had previously
|
|
edited your TDE menu and there are references to both 'kde-*' and 'tde-*'
|
|
files for the same application. This will require manual editing to
|
|
determine what is the correct way to fix the problem.</para>

<title>FreeBSD Support</title>
|
|
<para>TDE continues to offer support for FreeBSD, although still partial
|
|
given some of the new issues that have arisen with the latest versions
|
|
of FreeBSD. The TDE team will try their best to improve support for
|
|
FreeBSD but progress will probably be slow. Additional developers or
|
|
contributors willing to help porting the remaining features and
|
|
applications are always welcome.</para>
