Re: Moving away from reporting to RH bugzilla and adopting pure upstream reporting mantra.

2013-09-23 Thread Jan Wildeboer

How will you track blocker bugs?

How can we see a global view of all open bugs? Aggregate from X upstream bug 
report systems? Which not all are Bugzilla?

How can we track critical bugs?

 There's no need to post special feedback about it.


Isn't the special feedback here that the shell accepts the input but 
thunderbird does not? And isn't that a potential bug/ missing quirk?

Hi,

running a top command shows a process smfpd consuming a lot of my CPU.
It is /usr/sbin/smfpd. But rpm -qf /usr/sbin/smfpd says that is does
not belong to any package.

Q1: What is smfpd?
Q2: Who installed it? (not myself).
Q3: What's the pkg it belongs to?

Replying here only once, this is not content for test@ IMHO

 I disagree with the propaganda pumped out by RH et al about Fedora being 
 a only test bed for RHEL.

I don't know who is telling that, but people at Red Hat for sure do not.
We think of Fedora as the upstream for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

 Fedora is community driven and owned by the 
 commuinty, but sometimes I really get the feeling there is another 
 agenda at work here, namely the disrupted changes added with each new 
 Fedora release which prevents it becoming really stable, an example of 
 this is indeed systemd, (other examples are Network Manager, Pulseaudio 
 back in 2007), these pre-alpha where dumped into fedora, replacing 
 major subsystems with little or no testing whatsoever and have caused 
 huge amounts of pain and time wasting, this of course backs-up the 
 propaganda and agenda I mentioned earlier.

Well, Ubuntu isn't anything better in that regard. That's what
development is for IMHO. If you are looking for a rock-solid, stable OS
with support - Red Hat has a subscription for that ;-)

Fedora is fast moving, sometimes more experimental as others, brave to
try where others discuss, based on technical advancement.

 I don't use RHEL (unless there is a really good use case e.g. production 
 DB) because it's basically just OLDWARE, and CENTOS is even OLDEWARE.

Progress, stability, free - pick two, getting all is a real problem ...

You want progress and free? -- Fedora
You want Stability and free? -- CentOS
You want Stability and Progress? -- Red Hat Enterpise Linux

At least IMHO

 Great one!  Yes April 1st is a day to be careful taking in news

 I heard that kernel developers wants to take an example from the

WRT MacBook Air and Fedora

2010-11-15 Thread Jan Wildeboer
All,

BZ #651019 [1] contains a patch that would make the new Macbook Air a 
lot more useable with Fedora - how can I raise this BZ to be included 
into updates?

BZ #650949 [2] contains hopefully enough info for someone to start 
digging why nouveau fails on new MBA (most evil problem is that suspend 
works, but resume fails - with proprietary nvidia drivers suspend/resume 
just works). Again - how can I raise awareness for this issue?

Yes, this query is out of egoisn as I hope to get Fedora working on this 
machine so I can ditch MacOS X completely.

Fedora 14 x86_64 on new Macbook AIR - mostly success

2010-11-05 Thread Jan Wildeboer
Just a short report:

- Dualboot setup with rEFIt
- Default install with nomodeset to avoid broken graphics (seems nv 
driver doesn't like the M320 in the MBA)
- Using USB Ethernet adaptor to have network - added rpmfusion
- Installed kmod-wl (for the wireless card)
- Installed kmod-nvidia
- ran nvidia-xconfig as root

What works:

- Suspend/resume, no prob
- Webcam Just Works (tested with cheese)
- network works

What fails (partly)

- no sound
- external monitor via Minidisplayport doesn't work OOTB, needs fiddling 
with nvidia tool
- Touchpad options are missing, only basic functions (no right-click, no 
multi-touch)

So I would give it a 90% success ATM. Will file BZs on the #fails

 Yes, possibly a few days after.

A few days after would be rather bad and should have been previously
clearly communicated, given that preupgrade is one of our official 'Good
Ways To Upgrade' and lots of people want to upgrade on release day. If
there's a significant chance preupgrading to F14 won't be possible on
release day, could you please co-ordinate with the appropriate teams to
ensure the PRs that go out on release day explain this and give an ETA
for preupgrade?

But as at least one person on this list values thraed-completeness over

a proper cost analysis. How much extra burden is now generated in 
ripping systemd out compared to fixing the known/open bugs?

We definitely lose a key component here and the reward is seemingly a

Understood. It is however a royal PITA ;-) In the beginning, F13 was 
unable to use the external VGA at all in a decent manner, this started 
to work after a few kernel updates. So I was a happy camper.

The .34 kernel starts to suspends, switches to the spalsh screen and the 
gets stuck. I didn't notice the first time, so after two hours I had a 
wonderful sauna in my laptop bag and a broken fan.

Now I am back on the previous kernel and can only hope the next update

Re: Why was a kernel-2.6.34 pushed to updates that had un-addressed bugs.

2010-09-05 Thread Jan Wildeboer
In my case (F13, x86_64 on a Lenovo X200) the .34 kernel made suspend fail. 
On laptops I think working suspend/resume should be blocker for release. It 
worked before, hence it is a regression.

Note that I am not running rawhide. Just plain F13 with its support promise. 
Suspend/Resume failing is a problem for me. The X200 is not that uncommon 
(at leat inside Red Hat).

I am forec to boot into the older kernel to work.

If they don't have time to look at everything, then maybe they should stop
shipping kernels they haven't looked at! Really, people who needed 2.6.34 
could
pull it from updates-untested and the rest of us could have working 
systems.

Back in the FC3-4-5-6 days stuff released seemed to work, but in the last 
two
years there have been more and more things shipped which broke existing
installations. It feels like there is more effort to get lots of stuff out 
fast
even if it doesn't work, if it breaks things for users, etc. ...

This is alpha test, and one objective should be to get wider testing of
new kernels (and other software) in order to have experience that directs
the choice of what to ship in the scheduled release.

However stable they may be, there is a downside to a choice to keep
old versions of software:  upstream maintenance and testing will focus on
the latest code, and users are typically told Upgrade to the latest
release, which fixes your bug.  If Fedora chooses to keep an old kernel
or other component, it incurs what can become a serious maintenance cost
to fix problems in what has become the Fedora version of software.

Of course, there is a balance here.  Fedora intentionally chooses to
favor new software and technology, and a very aggressive release
schedule.  Fedora caters to software developers and users who want the
latest code, and provides a vehicle to deliver this technology to a wide
community of users.

For users who want software where the focus is on stable environment,
longevity, and more predictable support, Red Hat offers several products
that have been praised by users.  Other organizations also offer Linux
products that addres these goals.

Your question is reasonable: Why was a kernel-2.6.34 pushed to updates
that had un-addressed bugs. but I think it has been answered correctly
and well.  In the larger sense Does Fedora achieve a good balance
between new function and bugs fixed relative to regression problems
and old bugs? I think the popularity of Fedora answers that
affirmatively.

Were more bugs shipped in F13 than with F3-4-5-6?  Probably, but the code
base is much larger and the release schedule more aggressive.  Also, with
many more Fedora users, more bugs are likely to be observed.

Nevertheless, there is certainly opportunity to ship fewer bugs in a
release.  We may not be able to do a lot about code quality from upstream
(aside from choices about what function to include in Fedora) but release
testing is where bugs can be identified, and where your efforts and those
of others do improve the quality of a release.

And sometimes, however uncomfortable it is, a release schedule forces
choices between alternatives that all contain problems.  A delay in
release date may help sort out critical problems, but is no panacea - it
simply changes the problem set.

Re: Some or all of your votes have been removed

2010-09-02 Thread Jan Wildeboer
IMHO it is an unfortunate decision. But I understand the reasoning.

Take a look at how google handles this for android.

Very simple solution which would adapt to our bugzilla like this:

- once you are logged in to Bugzilla, you can star a bug.
- you can star/unstar at any time
- so you have as many votes as bugs exist, but only one single vote per bug
- maintainers/packagers can see the total amount of votes and drill into 
stuff like how many stars added in the last 24 hours/week/month
- you can graph this data and see the hot spots of the last day, week, 
month etc.

I don't know how hard it is to implement it, but it is a simple, 
straightforward solution worth thinking of.

  abused it's existence and it's purpose one can even go so far and
  say you managed to voted your self out of it :)

 That's not quite the way it used to work (at least until today.)  One
 has X amount of votes, and could choose to use as many, or as few as
 one, as desired, depending upon the importance, to the individual, of
 the bug.

 I imagine someone decided to change the rules, and announced somewhere
 that none of us who were surprised by it look.  'Tain't the first
 time. :)

I'll repost what I posted to devel just a few ago.
Sorry for any confusion. I didn't think it would be sending emails, and
particularly with such a poor subject. ;(

 Has it been disabled recently?

Short answer: Yes. It has.

Longer answer:

FESCo looked at trying to use voting data to give us an idea on 'hot'
bugs that we might be able to send more resources to fix. Sadly, voting
isn't at all good for this, as people have many votes (100 or 1000, I
forget which), so it's hard to tell if an issue affects 10 people or
100 by that. Many people didn't see the voting interface, so they
wouldn't have used it even if the problem was severe or affected a lot
of people. Some people were using the voting interface, even though no
maintainers ever noticed it (ie, thinking this could help the bug get
solved, but it's like the maintainer and voter were in seperate worlds
without any communication).

So, we decided it would be less confusing to just disable it.

We decided to look into using CC or comments to tell when a bug had a
lot of people affected or was 'very active'. Unfortunately, this also
is proving to be difficult to implement. See:
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-engineering-services/ticket/24
any help there would be appreciated.

Re: Mouse button stops working?

Dunno why, will file BZ tmrw.

 I've posted about something slightly similar many weeks ago (with F13
 and F12) with nobody commenting on it. With a combination of at least
 Emacs, Firefox, xterm and tvtime running, all of a sudden something
 activates the Shift key, and it affects everything I can enter (in the
 open apps *and* newly started ones) via the keyboard and the mouse.
 Pressing Shift or Shift-lock is no cure, but at least makes it possible
 to type in lower-case characters again. ;) Logging out of GNOME and back
 in is a quick fix.
 Obviously I meant shift indeed, but this wasn't the same; it didn't
 affect the keyboard, that worked as usual. Only the mouse behaviour was
 affected, for me.

The only mouse pointer problem I've experienced in F13 is that the mouse
pointer goes playing hide and seek ( bug 537065 ) on only one of my
monitors.
from time to time.

However I know of a touchpad on one old German laptop ( I think it was
branded Medion or something ) that experiences weird behaviour similar
to what you describe and couple of interesting intel based graphics
twirks which I unfortunately dont have in my possession or unlimited
access too to file bugs to get those things FIXED or at least look at.
