 Sorry it took a little time here. It's been a couple of atypical days with
 little online time. I'm all set and ready to test :)

yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install wine

or

yum distro-sync 

then yum install wine. 

The problem is that you had updates-testing enabled with the beta
image, but it was disabled in a fedora-release update recently. This
causes some mismatch of packages between the two repos.

Perhaps. I'm sure the feature owner would welcome help with it.

Yes, this was way too late for f14, but is already in rawhide.

The rc came out a while ago, and has been branded gold release. 
We are ready for release next week.

have installed Fedora Beta via KDE nightly builds some feedback

[Antonio Olivares]

Dear folks,

Several days ago, I managed to install Fedora Beta via LiveCD KDE 10 17 build 
don't remember exactly the name.  Did not install before because had no 
internet available to test/download updates & new packages.  I have some 
feedback here, but have not been able to post bug reports konqueror fails to 
work correctly(*might be a yahoo problem :( *)

1)  Cannot install wine :(, package conflicts so. _ package is newer than the 
 package that wine requires, process ends.  Have tried this three times 
with no success.

2)  Tried to install kile/texmaker, but requirements are texlive-2007, that is 
a no brainer, wasn;t texlive 2010 going to be in the default build?  I 
dismissed the install.  This was a feature that was going to be implemented and 
it is not, this is a sad story to me.  I have installed texlive 2010 by livedvd 
the upstream version, wanted to get the Fedora one, but *it :( sadly did not 
make its way* to Fedora 14, maybe Fedora 15?

3)  Tried to setup automatic login, but the prompts don't prompt me for root 
password, and the process fails with error 6?  abrt does not come up to report 
the bug :(, nothing I could do.  

4) I guess it was too late, but now LibreOffice will replace OpenOffice, and 
Fedora 14 will come with OpenOffice, might need to switch to rawhide and track 
LibreOffice?  Maybe developers can make a repo? available for those users that 
would like to help out in testing LibreOffice?  

Have installed it on two machines, have two more machines (x86_64 bit) ready 
for more testing when an RC comes out.

Thanks in advance,



Antonio


P.S.  Sorry for coming to the testing later on than usual, we have moved to a 
new school and we had no internet access till now and now we can try to help 
out more, maybe Fedora 15?  Thanks for all the efforts and work that you guys 
put in.  and sorry for the desilusion on texlive :(

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/TeXLive

IT was slated for Fedora 14, but did not make it :(
Current status

* Targeted release: Fedora 15
* Last updated: 2009-10-22
* Percentage of completion: 60% 

If it comes to this, I am content to build it on my own, or installing it from 
the DVD on Slackware & FreeBSD since they keep [tetex alive and kicking :( ] 
because of issues like texlive is HUGE, and other reasons.

 Time to set a schedule for Fedora 15

 Based on what we experienced in Fedora 13 and Fedora 14, should we
 continue with the same schedule methodology as it pertains to test
 releases, etc?

 It would be helpful to get feedback within the next week so Release
 Engineering can discuss and pass the schedule on to FESCo for approval.

Proventester feedback needed for pygpgme update (F-14)

[Adam Williamson]

Hi, everyone! Another priority proven tester feedback request, for this
update:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/pygpgme-0.1-21.20101027bzr69.fc14

it's significant because it resolves a bug which could result in yum
being unable to update repos with signed metadata. Fortunately, this
apparently doesn't affect the official updates repo (which is the most
important), but it's still something we should have fixed for release
day. There's apparently more details and test instructions in the bug
report - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=647059 . Thanks!

Thanks for the correction.  What I meant to type was ...

# yum -y install /usr/bin/bodhi

I too have installed on 2 machines, and working fine. Just one issue is 
there that the system on first boot don't pick the hostname set during 
the installation. Its OK since defining it again works fine.

I can confirm this is a workaround. I just managed to make it happen 
again after a hibernate on a Dell 8600 laptop, and a quick C-A-F2, 
C-A-F1 and all the options were available again.

different output between yum and gpk-update-viewer behind proxy

[Gianluca Cecchi]

Hello,
I just installed f14 beta as a vm inside rh el 5 host some days ago
and didn't have time to test a lot.
This morning I wanted to update and with graphical window I got "all
software is up to date" (see attachment)
Doubtfully, I ran "yum update" and actually got

[r...@f14 gcecchi]# yum update
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Adding en_US to language list
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for
repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again

This probably because my host itself is behind a proxy and I suppose I
have to configure the same proxy inside the vm (I'm using virbr0 in
guest).

Anyway I think output messages should be consistent between the two tools...

I don't know if already fixed in upcoming finale release...
BTW: after putting
proxy=...
inside yum.conf
I correctly got both by console and by gui the list of packages...

Correct this is an Multi Desktop DVD that ambassadors have been pushing 
through and is a essentially a show case for ambassadors to distribute 
to people at shows and stuff and it contains the live spins of Gnome, 
KDE XFCE and LXDE so you should be presented with four Grub boot entries 
Fedora Gnome, Fedora KDE, Fedora XFCE, and Fedora LXDE ( or something 
similar ).

It does not need any formal testing validation that has been taken care 
of by the individual spins and ambassadors themselves and far as I know 
this is the first time in Fedora history this is done so kudos to 
everyone involved I'm pretty sure it has been a bumpy ride pushing this 
through so certainly play around and poke at share you're thoughts and 
ideas with the rest of the community .

Greeting All:

First of all, I would like to say thank you for whatever information that you 
can give me...

I would like to know if it is better to use the supplied video drivers by fe 
xorg-x11-drv-? or would it be better to use the video driver from NVidia?  My 
video card is:


nVidia Corporation NV44 [Quadro NVS 285] (rev a1

Would anyone also be able to tell me if I will be able to gnome-shell/ gnome 3 
with this video card as it currently says that I will need 3d acceleration now 
when I try to go to Desktop Effects if I were to use the NVidia supplied 
drivers?  I do not even know if it would be wise to use the NVidia drivers 
anyway?


Sincerely yours,
Rob G. Healey

I've never had any problems with the manufacturer's drivers for Nvidia.  You 
need to check and see if your card is supported with the current Nvidia driver 
release.  If not, you will have to go with nouveau.
