F7 and iwlwifi using ipw3945 hardware
by Peter F. Patel-Schneider
Is the iwlwifi package going to work in F7?
The current signs aren't great, as my Thinkpad T60p with a ipw3945
wireless still has the oft-reported problems in F7t4.
I'm willing to put some testing time in, but things are a bit
discouraging so far, I mean F7t4 is supposed to be a beta release. (Or
maybe there is some simple thing that needs to be done to get everything
to work, but what is it?)

I had previously shrunk the NTFS partition to allow me
to install fedora. I had created a swap space before.
I used the option "keep all linux partions and create
default layout".

Fedora Core 6 Test Update: policycoreutils-1.34.1-9.fc6
by Daniel J Walsh
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2007-479
2007-04-30
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 6
Name : policycoreutils
Version : 1.34.1
Release : 9.fc6
Summary : SELinux policy core utilities.
Description :
Security-enhanced Linux is a feature of the Linux® kernel and a number
of utilities with enhanced security functionality designed to add
mandatory access controls to Linux. The Security-enhanced Linux
kernel contains new architectural components originally developed to
improve the security of the Flask operating system. These
architectural components provide general support for the enforcement
of many kinds of mandatory access control policies, including those
based on the concepts of Type Enforcement®, Role-based Access
Control, and Multi-level Security.
policycoreutils contains the policy core utilities that are required
for basic operation of a SELinux system. These utilities include
load_policy to load policies, setfiles to label filesystems, newrole
to switch roles, and run_init to run /etc/init.d scripts in the proper
context.

Fedora Core 6 Test Update: glibc-2.5-13.fc6
by Jakub Jelinek
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2007-478
2007-04-30
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 6
Name : glibc
Version : 2.5
Release : 13.fc6
Summary : The GNU libc libraries.
Description :
The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by
multiple programs on the system. In order to save disk space and
memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is
kept in one place and shared between programs. This particular package
contains the most important sets of shared libraries: the standard C
library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a
Linux system will not function.

Bingo! It was that!
Now I'm able to use internet again in my win xp guest attaching to the
configured virtual network (isolated bridge + NAT to the public LAN as
you told).
The only problem is that the win guest clock is always 2 hours back:
I'm in Italy and on the PC I also have a native windows XP so that my
f7 host is configured with system clock not using UTC...
Can I directly write options to any conf file for virt-manager created
virtual machines?
In particular the "-localtime" one?
Also, I don't know if by default the "-no-acpi" one is used or not...
and don't know if it is furthermore necessary with recent qemu and kvm
versions...
Thanks anyway,

Slight schedule change
by Jesse Keating
Instead of deep freezing for F7 Final this Thursday, the release team has
decided to kick it out a week to next Thursday. This will give us a bit more
time to shake things out with the merger happening this Wed. and allow for
some builds for new BuildRequires (IE Core building against Extras) to happen
and be tested.

FC7T4 on AMD64 - KDE completely broken?
by Amir E. Aharoni
Hi there,
I installed FC7T4 i86-64 on my AMD64 from the DVD.
Installation was mostly OK. I wrote down a few minor comments, but i
don't have them here. I'll post them some time soon.
One major issue is that KDE doesn't work at all.
I installed both Gnome and KDE. The first time i logged in, it was
Gnome and it worked mostly fine.
But when I tried to log in to a KDE session and received an error
saying that the desktop closed after less than 10 seconds and showed
the .xsession_errors file. I looked through it and saw that it failed
to open a lot of libraries (sycoca, kdedm etc.), but the most alarming
error was that it tried to look for an i386 version of some library
but found that the architecture signature in the relevant file was
i86_64.
I'd gladly send you the log, but i think that it was overwritten by
later logins. (Is it possible to recover the older logged messages?..)
When i try to login to a KDE session now, i don't see that error about
i386 vs. i86_64, but there are many other errors and the desktop
doesn't start at all.
