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…
