Fedora 29 Beta status: RC4 incoming
by Adam Williamson
Hi, folks! Just a quick mail to let everyone know where we are with F29
Beta.
We managed to throw together fixes for all the currently-accepted
blockers (thanks to the dnf team for help there), so an RC4 (aka Beta-
1.4) is currently composing. Compared to RC3 it contains a newer libdnf
with a fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1629340 . It
also includes a newer gnome-shell with fixes for FE bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1628263 and also
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/140 (which kinda
snuck in there), new builds of dnfdragora and dnfdaemon that fix two
significant bugs for users of those -
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1624652 and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1629378 - and an updatedgnome-documents which actually works (that was
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1628244 ).
The second Go/No-Go meeting will be on Thursday, so it would be awesome
if folks could pitch in and help get as much testing done as possible
on Beta-1.4 when it arrives. There will be an announcement mail sent to
test-announce@, so look out for that. It will have links to the
validation pages, which have the download links at the top. General
exploratory testing would also be great to find any significant issues
not specifically covered in the validation tests. It should arrive in
around 8-9 hours, assuming the compose takes about as long as the
previous one. Some of the media will actually be available from Koji a
little sooner than that, for anyone who wants to get a head start on
testing; to find the live images, for instance, go to this URL:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/tasks?state=closed&view=flat&method=c...
and look for tasks with the string 'Fedora-29-20180919.0' in them (*not*
'Fedora-29-20180919.n.0', those would be nightlies, which don't have
the extra fixed packages).
Thanks a lot, everyone!

Cubietruck no VGA - Fedora-Xfce-armhfp-29_Beta-1.2-sda
by Robert Moskowitz
I pulled out my test Cubietruck and set up the F29 beta.
I plugged the VGA into my KVM and powered up. When it got to the GUI
part, the system hung. I unplugged the VGA and plugged in the HDMI. No
change.
I powered cycled and with the HDMI pluggd in, I got into Initial Setup
and things progressed well from there.
After a bit with the HDMI, I unplugged it and plugged in the VGA.
Nothing. Switched back to HDMI and it worked.
I seem to recall some previous work, maybe F24, of having VGA working.
Memory is cobwebally.
Is VGA support in the uboot for Cubietruck? Or is this some other problem?
thanks

Fedora 29 Talking Points
by Alberto Rodriguez Sanchez
Hello Teams,
I'm Alberto from the Marketing team, I'm asking for help to complete
the Fedora 29 Talking points[1].
Talking points are key highlights of the new release. There are
different types of talking points for different types of people:
general desktop users/everyone, developers, and sysadmins. They are
meant to provide a short, effective answer to the question "What cool
stuff is in the latest release of Fedora?" They are compelling, not
necessarily comprehensive.
Best Regards.

After the dnf update, updating some 130 rpms from testing-update, I did

Udoo Neo : USB known to work ?
by Ken Harris
I bought a Udoo Neo and put Fedora on it.
It works well, but when I plug in USB devices, they don't show up.
Is USB on Udoo Neo known to work ?
I thought I'd ask before trying to isolate it (I'll download "udoobuntu").
Please share any tips on how to isolate the problem.
It could be a personal problem : I bought it from EBay.
Thanks,
Ken

No audio - Fedora-Xfce-armhfp-29-20180911.n.0-sda
by Robert Moskowitz
Cubieboard2
On my Xfce desktop (well VNCed into it) as me. 1st time I ever tried
audio on a Cubie...
I plugged a speaker into the headphones and played an mp3 via Parole
media player (No vlc or mplayer available to install).
No sound.
I plugged in a USB audio device:

And no sound from it. Plus it is not showing as an audio device to
pulseaudio control.

Inserted a blank CD and started K3B. Got the message:

K3b did not find any optical device in your system.
What do I have to do for the K3B to see the drive?
