I had problems with 3.0 iso that I have reported here and hope will not 
be on the new 3.01 release. The simpler one but cause for many 
experienced users to complain was that SDDM had NUM LOCK key on by 
default. In many laptop models NUM LOCK key alters the character of many 
keyboard keys preventing authentication of some passwords.

The more complex to me was the unnecessary denial of 3.0 installer in 
putting grub2 at MBR in a computer with BOOT EFI Bios option. I was told 
to create a /boot/efi partition as the only option to have a bootable 
system. This created dual boot problems really difficult to face and 
certainly a cause for many users to give up from having OMV. The same 
configuration was not a problem for OMV 2013/2014 to work with MBR dual 
booting, so why would OMV 3.0 refuse to work analogously? Reference for 
the problem and the simple form to install grub2 in MBR in such a 
configuration is found at this reference,

After update over 2014.2, OMV LX 3.0 installation refuses to activate 
swap and do not allow for dual boot

    I've reinstall OMV LX 3.0 and, after some corrections, everything
    seems fine now! Thus, it follows a summary of what I did, what
    happened, and so on. It is a kind of a long report but I don't want
    to skip some points. My desktop has a SDD (MBR boot, MSDOS
    partitions) with Window 8 (ntfs) and OMV 3.0 (f2fs), and a HDD (no
    boot, GPT partitions) with Windows 8 (ntfs data), Linux Swap, and
    /home. This disks configurations were probably chosen because it had
    Windows 7 which was not EFI boot co…

Here's criterion for release testing. This is a "work in progress" 
document but is a sufficient guide for thorough testing. Link to 
document.

Bear in mind that this release is a respin with many updated packages 
and bug fixes. If you have Lx 3.0 fully updated and up and running that 
is basically…
