 It seems the single-partition requirement has been unreasonable for

 an unpartitioned disk, it creates multiple partition installations.

[Test-Announce] CANCELLED: 2013-06-10 Fedora QA Meeting (blocker meeting still on)

2013-06-10 Thread Adam Williamson
It's been a while, but it looks like we can skip the QA meeting this
week: I'm not aware of any topics that particularly need discussion
outside of 19 Final work, and I don't see that anyone else has proposed
any. Note that we will still aim to do a blocker review meeting at 16:00
- I'll send out a separate announcement for that.

[Test-Announce] 2013-06-10 @ 16:00 UTC - F19 Final Blocker Bug Review #4

2013-06-10 Thread Adam Williamson
# F19 Final Blocker Review meeting #4
# Date: 2013-06-10
# Time: 16:00 UTC (12:00 EDT, 09:00 PDT)
# Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net

We're cancelling the QA meeting for 2013-06-10, but we should still get
together and do some blocker review at 16:00 - we have all the blockers
and anaconda FEs proposed since Wednesday to go through! Please, folks -
including non-regulars, and people who aren't necessarily 'QA people'
but are interested in helping make sure the 19 release goes ahead
smoothly - come out and contribute! Blocker meeting attendance has been
kind of thin lately and it'd be nice to avoid it turning into too much
of a cabal, it's good to have a range of opinions and expertise. Note
that blocker reviews are a joint exercise of QA, release engineering and
development, they're not just a 'QA thing'.

We'll be running through the final blockers and freeze exception bugs.
The current list is available at:
http://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/current

We'll be reviewing the bugs to determine ...

1. Whether they meet the final release criteria [1] and should stay
  on the list
2. Whether they are getting the attention they need

[1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_19_Final_Release_Criteria

For guidance on Blocker and FreezeException bugs, please refer to
  - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process
  - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process

We should just drop that entirely.

Our criteria should not depend on windows ( or any other OS for that 
matter ) nor can we expect all users to own a windows or require it from 
them to obtain it legally or illegally just so this get's tested.


Red Hat can just keep this criteria for RHEL if that's the reason for it 
to exist there in the first place in since it can supply it's employees 
with valid Microsoft releases to test against.

The reason is that Windows dual-boot is very important for our users and we are

sure, dump Windows support.

Microsoft provides Windows 8 evaluation copies that you can use legally and for 
free. Of course, IANAL. And we don't seem to lack for community testers that 
have a Windows installation present.

RAT mouse clicking problem

2013-06-10 Thread Frederic Muller
Hi!

I've installed TC2 and everything seems to run fine so far. I am however
running into an issue I had randomly under F18 (when the mouse was new)
where the (left) clicking seems to lock the mouse into the application
into which it clicks. The issue seems to be more systematic now but
maybe it's just the same.

I did an extensive web search a few month back and came up with an added
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/03-rat.conf file which read this:
Section InputClass
Identifier Mouse Remap
MatchProduct Saitek Cyborg R.A.T.7 Mouse
MatchDevicePath /dev/input/event*
Option Buttons 17
Option ButtonMapping 1 2 3 4 5 0 0 8 9 7 6 12 13 13 13 16 17
18 19 20 21
Option AutoReleaseButtons 13 14 15
Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 6 7
EndSection

On my first login the problem systematically appears, I then go to any
application that has a setting window that will come over the main
window, adjust the click to work properly (by clicking on the mode
button) and then log out and back in. I often use the
Settings/Displays app, disable a monitor, apply and then cancel the
changes. Canceling the changes doesn't initially work until switching
modes (by clicking on the mode/preset button 1/2 or 3 times).

This fixes this issue.

What would be the best way to get rid of this problem?

Thanks.

Fred

Our user base is Fedora users not Windows users or dual booting users 
and  more or less every shipped hardware in the past five years has 
supported virtualization
( even more so HW requirements for running windows Vista/7/8 not sure if 
XP is still supported by Microsoft ) which is the area we should be 
focusing on supporting well as in running Fedora in other OS 
supported/provided virtualization or running other OS in the 
virtualization we provide ( there is no such thing as support in Fedora ).


Quite frankly dual booting is a thing of the past and it should be 
dropped from the criteria.

Unicode and console font problem?

2013-06-10 Thread Tom Horsley
I just installed f19 beta, picking minimal install, which
does not install X - I just get a console login.

The apostrophe-like thing in Schrödinger's cat (which
prints in the login prompt) shows up as a white block
(I do get the 'o' with the two little dots above it though).

I also copied some files from one partition to another
and the message it prints asking about overwriting
a file also has square blocks instead of quotes around
the filename it prints in the message.

Yet another Fedora way to alienate users. While dual booting is indeed a 
thing of the '80's, multibooting isn't going away just because virtualization 
exists. Virtually all my 30+ usable systems are multiboot, regardless whether 
their hardware supports virtualization. Most of them don't.


Virtualization is emulation, faking. Some testing requires using real 
hardware. Some environments require using real hardware. Some users require 
real hardware.


Even if I personally embraced the concept of virtualization as a replacement

Then perhaps Fedora is not the distribution for you to use since it has 
such an short life cycle ( 13 months ) + we are just talking about 
removing this from the release critera not stop supporting this.

Well it's a matter of some recruitment and volunteering of interested parties 
to do some testing before the product goes final, isn't it? I don't think any 
of the hard core testers should be required to buy it. Some impetus is on users 
with a vested interest in it working to do the testing, and presumably they

This is specious. Fedora users depend on dual boot more than RHEL users, not 
the other way around. Fedora users largely depend on another OS as their 
primary OS. Of those perhaps most are virtualizing Fedora in a non-KVM 
environment, and the second is baremetal dual boot.

Dual boot capability is important because it creates the condition to improve 
linux's ability to run on a variety of hardware, video card drivers and so 
forth. If linux runs well to excellent, then running Windows (or OS X) in 
qemu/kvm is then realistic. On a whole lot of hardware that's just not the case.

So in the case of baremetal EFI, X detects something adequately enough that it 
works. But somehow on vbox it isn't. It'd be nice if this worked better. This 
is an old bug.

That's unrealistic.




There is nothing unrealistic removing it from the criteria but still 
retain the test case(s) like we do for other things that people want to 
have tested without having it blocking the release...

  In fed19 beta I also checked with kvm/qemu but the problem remains.

 I'm also able to use fullscreen in my F19beta vm.

What do you mean by 'fullscreen'.
My laptop has a 1600:900 screen. When I install Win7 in kvm-qemu
(or in a gnome-box) I can run the VM in fullscreen but NOT Win7. 

You have to adjust the screen resolution in Win7 and as Win7 only
sees a 'standard vga graphics adapter' you cannot get a 1600:900
resolution. The best you can do is 1680x1050 but this does not
fill up the 1600:900 screen. At the left and the right of the
win7 desktop there remain black stripes. 

If I install Ubuntu-13.04 in kvm-qemu or in a gnome-box Ubuntu has
the 'qxl' driver and I can run Ubuntu fullscreen with 1600:900 resolution.

I thought when looking up info with regard to Spice that there
was better graphics support for Windows but the documentation is
not clear and 'old'.

 Criterion reads: The installer must be able to install into free space 
 alongside an existing clean Windows installation and install a bootloader 
 which can boot into both Windows and Fedora.
 
There was a debate regarding dual boot (here is explained how to install
the bootloader into the first sector of the partition)
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2013-January/429440.html
After all, why to get rid of this way of dual boot capability for non

What is the big advantage to not have that?

How does grub2 know what to boot?

2013-06-10 Thread Tom Horsley
I just installed f19 beta, and it overwrote my MBR with
grub2ness (as expected).

But now I'm wondering - the actual installation of
f19 is entirely on /dev/sda2 (including the /boot
directory which is just a subdirectory of /, not
a separate partition).

My old f18 /dev/sda3 partition is the only one marked
as boot.

So how the heck is grub2 locating and booting the
/dev/sda2 /boot stuff? Is there a pointer stashed in
the MBR telling it where to look?

Just curious :-).

Re: How does grub2 know what to boot?

2013-06-10 Thread Chris Murphy
Yes. The code in the MBR jumps to a specific LBA in the MBR gap where core.img 
is installed. Once that's loaded, grub understands the /boot filesystem, and 
can locate and load normal.mod, grub.cfg, and the modules the grub.cfg 
specifies for loading.

The prefix for where core.img looks is baked into core.img.

This works differently on UEFI.

Re: Unicode and console font problem?

2013-06-10 Thread Kamil Paral
 I just installed f19 beta, picking minimal install, which
 does not install X - I just get a console login.
 
 The apostrophe-like thing in Schrödinger's cat (which
 prints in the login prompt) shows up as a white block
 (I do get the 'o' with the two little dots above it though).
 
 I also copied some files from one partition to another
 and the message it prints asking about overwriting
 a file also has square blocks instead of quotes around
 the filename it prints in the message.

I don't have an actual problem. It is definitely using the
new install to boot from because it offers the new f19
install as a boot option, I'm just curious how it works :-).

It absolutely should block the release as there's no way to fix it after the 
fact. Dropping the requirement for sane multiboot behavior isn't a good idea. 
(Sane being, it's possible and does no harm to the existing system.)

Because anaconda devs don't want to support what grub devs recommend against. I 
think the former is reasonable. Some ext devs think grub devs are being overly 
cautious. But the reality is, grub does support embedding to a partition 
without force for filesystems with a large enough boot loader pad, such as 
Btrfs which has a 64kb pad. Ext's is 1024k, not nearly big enough for grub's

 Criterion reads: The installer must be able to install into free space
 alongside an existing clean Windows installation and install a
 bootloader which can boot into both Windows and Fedora.
 
 a. Since free space is atypical, this phrasing implies the installer
 doesn't need to be able to resize or resize correctly. Since it's an
 offered scenario in the installer, I think at this point it should be
 required to work and thus incorporated into the criterion.

That is indeed the implication, it's intentional, and I wouldn't want to
change it without input from the anaconda team. Their position is that
resizing is inherently a risky and unpredictable operation that we
cannot guarantee the functionality of, but we should be able to
guarantee what's written in the criterion.

I suppose we could try and come up with a tightly-worded criterion that
the resize mechanism in the installer must not be broken - so it should
'do what it's supposed to do', but if ntfsresize fails for some reason,
that wouldn't be a blocker.

 b. For BIOS installs, the requirement for the bootloader to boot both
 Windows and Fedora is reasonable. It's probably not reasonable, still,
 for UEFI. GRUB2+os-prober really isn't acting as a suitable
 replacement Boot Manager, so the user either needs to use the firmware
 boot manager to choose a bootloader (bootmgr.efi for Windows,
 grubx64.efi for Fedora), or some other boot manager (rEFInd or
 gummiboot).

Well, I see the point, but at the same time, we are finding out that in
the Real World, it's a really bad idea to depend on the EFI boot manager
because it just isn't being presented to the user in a sane way in
enough of the real UEFI implementations. So we might actually want to
keep that requirement, and fix up os-prober (which we're currently
working on).

We'll have to see what pjones' take on that is.

 
 Clean Windows installation reveal reads in part:
 The expected scenario is a cleanly installed or OEM-deployed Windows
 installation into a single partition. Issues caused by recovery or
 'system' partitions may not be considered to violate this criterion,
 depending on the specific circumstances. 
 
 I think those two sentences are unworkable. OEM deployed Windows is 
 multi-partition.
 
 
  In particular, what's the default
  'multi-partition' layout of Win7/8?
 
 I've only recently BIOS installed Windows 7, and it's two partitions
 to an unpartitioned disk. I think for EFI installing Windows 7, it's
 three partitions. For Windows 8 EFI, it's four partitions, so I'll
 guess it's one less for BIOS.

What are the partitions?

Error recovery on a device with moving parts is *SLOW*.
For example, recovering from a read error on a physical DVD
can take a whole minute or more.  Just recovering an ATA bus error
can take 30 seconds or more.  I've seen these: one of the SATA

At first I thought it was the DVD drive, but a new drive

So now there's a piece of tape over that SATA connector.

I recently had the fun of installing Fedora beside Windows 7 on more

were required to provide their own laptops.)  The number of Windows 
partitions varied from 2 to 4.  The 4 partition case required me to

More appropriate place then a forum poll or this mailing list would be

Primary as in we should test this but not block the release for it not
working


The dangerous not working mode is screwing up the target so what was 
functional there is no longer. Do you remember as well as I Disk Druid's 
capacity for destruction? Early on it lead me from RedHat to Mandrake and 
away from partitioners included on installation media. First do no harm needs 
testing.



First in our foundation indicates we should be leading not following ;)


Fine, as long as those ultimately responsible for the choice of path and 
those implementing it aren't myopic, and the path chosen is one real users 
are interested to take. It is no success to excel at something none care about.



Newbie: Which Linux distro should I try?



And the opposide part of the coin Fedora just try the live cd/dvd and
see if it works out for you if it does you can install it from the live...


Works from live media does not equate to successfully install from live media.

what could screw up login credentials?

2013-06-10 Thread Tom Horsley
I had a working minimal install of f19.

I booted f18 on the same machine to get work done,
and in background installed a gazillion packages
while chrooted into the f19 partition.

Now when I try to boot f19, it tells me I have
an invalid password for every user I try to login
as :-(.

I tried chrooting in again and running passwd to
update the passwords, but it still says invalid.

Anyone know how the devil to fix this?

Dude, 
I think it is pretty well known that I think Microsoft could take a flying 
at a donut.  However, I know that there are plenty of people that aren't quite
willing to totally commit to Linux.  Therefore, this is a totally valid, and 
even
needed criteria.

As far as RHEL, I rather doubt that RHEL's target audiance would be
dual-booting servers ...

Check the logs for selinux errors or boot with selinux in permissive 
mode.  You may need to relabel the filesystem.

Try comment out the pam_loginuid line in /etc/pam.d/login to see if that 
works around this...

Good idea. I'll check that when I get back to work tomorrow.
I usually turn off selinux, but I don't think I did that yet.
Thanks.

F19 Installer a little better, but...

2013-06-10 Thread Tom Horsley
...I'm still filled with trepidation when the only choice
I appear to have is to click Done after selecting a disk
to install on. I'm not Done :-). I want to pick partitions
to install on, etc, but there is absolutely no indication
you will have that chance unless you actually work up the
nerve to click Done then see that you are provided
additional options. (So apparently even anaconda doesn't
think you are Done).

You are 'Done' picking disks, though, and there's a big chunk of text on
the screen saying They will be left untouched until you click on the
main menu's Begin Installation button. So I'm not sure it's really
that scary now.

Quite a lot of people have said they find the current layout a bit
confusing, but then, we tried two other layouts before this one and
people found both of those confusing too. At this point we are running
out of possibilities, but perhaps we could label the button 'Unicorn'
and have it orbit the screen randomly. That would at least be different.

sound

2013-06-10 Thread Richard Vickery
Hi gang:

It may be my ignorance - I probably know this but am unaware of it at
the moment; since upgrading to tc2 (and perhaps tc1), I lost my sound.
Any hints on how to get it back?

Thanks,
Richard

Relabel the DONE button to SELECTION COMPLETED
or something else that is not ambiguous.

 Resize and refitting another OS along with already installed one on the same 
 hardware ( disks ) is not something I see as we should or could be 
 officially supporting hence we should not be blocking our release for that.

Certainly installing to free space should be uncontroversial. I don't care to 
understand the idea that user choice should only apply to FOSS. You either 
believe in user choice or you don't, it is a fairly binary position regardless 
of the software's license. The installer supports it, and considering the 
damage that could be done is in the category of data loss, yes it needs to have 
a suitable release blocking criterion.


 Windows or Apple or some other OS changes it partition filesystem etc. and we 
 need to delay our release until we have played catchup to those changes.

Please, Microsoft and Apple have file systems from the Pleistocene. And it's 
already the case that HFS+ isn't resized by anaconda (or any linux tools at all 
insofar as I'm aware). If the file system changes, it'll indicate a version 
change in a way identifiable to the installer's support utilities, or it won't 
be an identifiable system at all. In either case the installer should refuse to 
resize.

the 'TC' numbers are only really relevant for the media, for an issue
like this it doesn't mean a lot. So, um - what did you 'upgrade' from,
exactly? Are you talking about going from F18 to F19, here? Or just
regular updates on F19?
