Re: Resend: 17 Beta-RC3 netinst.iso in vbox fails
I found that there is a glitch of some kind in the video of virtualbox-4.1.10_Gentoo under kernel 3.3.1 (Radeon REDWOOD system video) Trying Fedora 14 boot.iso and Fedora 15 boot.iso work normally Fedora 16 boot.iso and F17 boot.iso while booting do not show the plymouth bottom bars (just a blank /white/ screen!) This started when I moved to gentoo 3.3.1 kernel. I'll persue other avenues of getting this fixed. Sorry for the noise Adam. -- G.Wolfe Woodbury -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
[Test-Announce] [Fedora test day report] Gnome Shell Software Rendering 2012-03-29
Hi, last Thursday/Friday was Gnome Shell Software Rendering Test Day. Numbers of attendants exceed my initial expectations. We have 15 configurations tested, some modern as well as some older hardware and also virtualized machines. Unfortunately, I spent most of Thursday building custom test images[2] with lastminute Mesa fixes from Wednesday, but all testing was successfully done during Friday and on weekend.

new Release Criterion proposal: kernel+initrd boot
Recently we found out that we don't have any criterion for PXE boot. Also F17 anaconda separated its root image from initrd.img, adding new ways where things can break. In the QA meeting we decided that new criterion is required [1]. Relevant bugs are: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=805166 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=790348 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=810513 The new proposed criterion is this: The installer must be able to boot using kernel+initrd pair (some boot arguments might be needed), e.g. booting a VM or from PXE. Fetching the installer's root image must work using the same access protocols as are required for fetching package sources in currently active milestone. Installer must work correctly even if the remote location doesn't contain a full installable tree including package repository, but just the root image and files relevant to it. I propose to add it to the Alpha milestone. It covers several things: 1. booting over PXE 2. remote installer fetching 3. partial repositories (missing package repository) I deliberately re-used the the definition of protocols from another criterion related to package source fetching options, because it is tightly related. This makes sure that PXE booting works since Alpha, but the number of supported protocols increases just gradually as we reach Beta and Final. The last sentence could be split to a separate milestone (and worded a bit differently), because we might not require it really since Alpha. OTOH this is more succinct, and I have a vested interest in having this in Alpha anyway (because of our automated test suite). Better wording (and translating into proper English) is welcome.

Re: Install Fedora Button for LiveCD
The discussion died off, so I'll sum it up: * Almost everyone agreed that current situation is highly unsatisfactory. * We have several ideas how to remedy it, which include: top bar button, notification and welcome screen. * We have just a single implementation, which is the top bar button. Since ideas are cheap and implementations are expensive, I'm going to try to push the current implementation to the default LiveCD desktop. If another implementation appears and is considered superior to the first one, let's replace it. But I want to have at least some solution ready for F17 Final. It might not be the best one, but it's better than having nothing at all. I think the best approach here is to contact anaconda team and ask them to adopt the code. Ideally this would be a part of anaconda. If you have better ideas how to proceed, please let me know.

mouse scroll -- switches desktop
I'm using KDE and I'm running F17 in virtualbox so I'm not sure where the problem lies. Using the mouse wheel scrolls the virtual desktop even with the mouse inside an application window. This is very annoying. I have looked at all the desktop settings, configurations, whatever I can find that deals with mouse, desktop switching or shortcuts and I have yet to find anything that effects this annoying behavior. This started somewhere around the first beta release. -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
is the name ok
There is no release criterion in the Testing/QA group for the release name. Before millions see the latest great work from a multitude of contributors, should this group pause to reflect if the release name is appropriate for world wide release. I ask your attention that the name/ logo/ and parody may offend many and may refuse to use it. Do you have concerns after looking at http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=beefymiracle.git;a=shortlog;h=HEAD and beefymiracle . org. The image of a hot dog in a bun (and in some logo pictures, the use of the tag line mustard indicates progress) is too laden with symbolism. Is there concern in this, the last group in the process to concur with a release GO decision, that what has been published in support of the release name will not offend women, parents, and many who are spiritual or profess a religion? No mater how liberal a guy I might be, this expresses a concern for how open source might be perceived by the general public. Even if these pictures and words were done in fun, isn't the association now caustic. -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

Where many a Deise guy/gal brought their blas. Now just imagine the scene less than a decade ago, when the first people of African decent started to arrive in the town and county. yes, the racist card was brought out. But if someone takes offence at something that has been in vogue for countless generations. That's their problem. At times the offence or indeed perceived offence is purely in the eye\ear of the listener, or the naive do-gooder.

You can't clone a partition with cp, only files. Better to use something like rsync -av --exclude 'lost+found', and still you wouldn't have a partition clone, but only a complete filesystem copy, which _is_ the kind of clone you want for this purpose, as long as it isn't performed using a currently booted OS as source. Also there is software specifically made for cloning like you need. I do all my cloning with DFSee, which isn't free, but is multi-platform executable, and compatible, meaning among other things I can run it any time I want without a reboot first. The part of Grub that initiates boot isn't in the filesystem though. Grub's files will get copied, but it still needs to be installed to the clone if it is to be used by the clone for booting. -- The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive.

[Test-Announce] [Fedora test day report] Gnome Shell Software Rendering 2012-03-29
Hi, last Thursday/Friday was Gnome Shell Software Rendering Test Day. Numbers of attendants exceed my initial expectations. We have 15 configurations tested, some modern as well as some older hardware and also virtualized machines. Unfortunately, I spent most of Thursday building custom test images[2] with lastminute Mesa fixes from Wednesday, but all testing was successfully done during Friday and on weekend. Thanks to following people, who attended this Test Day: People from Fedora community: Sagitter Adsllc n4rC0t1C satellit_ adunsmuir mkertt MartinK Know people from Red Hat: msimon Martix tjamrisk Sesivany _Bugreports_ Red Hat Bugzilla bugs: 808710 NEW - llvmpipe driver doesn't render correctly on Dell Inspiron Mini 10 810192 NEW - [Dock] [T520] [HD3000] DVI output doesn't work, only VGA. 806693 ON_QA - swell-foop missing icon in Applications menu 810130 CLOSED UPSTREAM - Right Win key does not cause the Activities menu Gnome Bugzilla bugs: 648899 NEW - No visible notification for attention in group chats 643595 UNCONFIRMED - Does not show urgency hint 610589 UNCONFIRMED - enable notifications when chat is not focused 673559 UNCONFIRMED - System and gnome-control-center doesn't remember monitor mirroring after second monitor reconnect.
