rdtsupport Gnome Boxen ( F36 ) EFI enabled [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] 1. works as expected
2. "logout" takes 20 seconds or longer to react, while an open terminal is still working and takes keyboard events. This seems to be a variation of the reset/powerdown timer issue
3. - minor: Added new User with password change on login, but same password as admin user, is not accepted
4. Playback in firefox of a radio stream was interrupted every few seconds.
5. Testsounds in gnome prefs are not all working.
6. sound volumes are at 0% in the beginning, which seems a bit odd
7. works - no delays.

The correct layout remains selected in user's desktop after log in. Password can be created successfully both via settings window and during first log in.

After new start, firmware items offered the Update button. After pressing, updates were downloaded, but while closing the warning dialog, Software crashed (autoreported). After Fedora restarted, the firmware updates were installed during boot. Then Plymouth announced "Rebooting after istalling updates..." but nothing happened for more than 30 minutes. I had to force power off the notebook.

tflink libvirt VM [1] 1. Selecting "Log out" under the "Power Off" brings up the expected dialog box saying that <user> will be automatically logged out in 60 seconds with "cancel and "Log Out". Clicking on "Log Out" dismisses that dialog box bug doesn't log out my user. 60 seconds after clicking on "Log Out" under the "Power Off" menu, my user is logged out. It's almost like the "Log Out" button on that dialog doesn't work and I'm only logged out when the automatic logout would have happened if I didn't click on anything. Clicking the "cancel" button on the dialog box does cancel the logout process.
