by Jon Stanley
I'm going to try putting just the minutes in rather than the full log.
Is that overly objectionable to anyone?

How to create bootable iso image from existing fedora system?
by Lakshmipathi.G
For weeks now (with a help of google),I'm trying to create bootable
iso image from existing fedora system. Still not getting it right.
I want to creat it from scratch from command line, say using mkisofs
and syslinux .(don't want to use UI)
did you tried this before?Any urls?Any help?
If this is not the correct forum,please ignore this mail.

Bug buddy and gnomebreakpad
by Michel Alexandre Salim
Now that abrt has obsoleted bug-buddy, starting any GTK+ application
results in the innocuous, but rather annoying warning:
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad":
libgnomebreakpad.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
This should probably be addressed -- any idea where this is coming from?
Thanks,

TeXLive 2009 texconfig
by Matthew Saltzman
texconfig from TeXLive 2009 in F11 hangs when I attempt to set the dvips
default paper type. The hang occurs when I run texconfig as a user and
texconfig or texconfig-sys as root.

by James Laska
When: Friday, 2009-09-11 @ 15:00 UTC (11 AM EDT)
Where: #fedora-bugzappers on irc.freenode.net
Join us Friday for the first blocker bug review of the F-12-Beta cycle.
Review will focus on unresolved bugs listed on the F12Beta list [1].
The current list of Fedora 12 Beta blocker bugs [1] includes:
* 519237 NEW - -bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1):
Inappropriate ioctl for device
* 516104 NEW - dracut's plymouth text splash doesn't hide boot
messages
* 520207 NEW - Filesystem label does not match kernel command
line parameter
* 518226 NEW - INFO: possible circular locking dependency
detected - 2.6.31-0.125.4.2.rc5.git2.fc12.ppc64
* 520515 NEW - grubby should add plymouth initrd to grub initrd
line

* 516042 ASSIGNED - Unable to add NFS yum repo during
installation
* 515450 MODIFIED - Stage1: cannot back to last step .
* 518194 MODIFIED - askmethod boot option allows installation
from HDD only
* 517260 MODIFIED - liveinst fails at partitioning screen
* 498591 MODIFIED - Cannot specify mount point for hard disk
partition containing the ISO install image
Have an issue you'd like to propose for F12Beta? Please consider the
following criteria when escalating an issue:
* Can this issue be fixed with a future rawhide update or is it
part of the media kit?
* Is this defect a high (or greater) severity [1] with no, or an
unreasonable, workaround?
* Does the presence of this bug dramatically reduce test coverage?
See you there!
James

Announcing rpmbuild-remote
by Ben Boeckel
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
I started a little script earlier this year (February or so) so
that I could submit singular builds to my desktop back in my room
while out and about campus. I abandoned it for a while for either
other projects or class work, which I can't remember. In any case,
I started working on it lately again since I ordered a netbook and
building RPMs on it is probably not ideal.
It's written in Python, and a little hackish (comments are also
needed, but the code isn't that complicated). I have a git repo
setup on a box, but it's behind a firewall. I put a mirror of it
on fedorapeople.org[1] for convenience.
I'm looking for feedback on it. I was thinking it could get
included into rpmdevtools if the team would accept it. Thanks.

Bugzilla Desktop Client
by Rajkarn Singh
Hi,
I am working on the development of a general Desktop Client for Bugzilla.
Currently it can access Red Hat Bugzilla database, however in future I'd be
working to make it work for other Bugzillas. I have posted a blog having
somewhat detailed information about it. Please check it at:
http://raj-khalsa.blogspot.com/2009/09/bugzilla-desktop-client-first-phas...
Working on this project is my first experience into the world of Open
Source. I'm very new to this field. So I'd appreciate your suggessions and
comments for this work. Also, I'm eager to hear you guide me for my future
endeavours. :)
Regards,
Rajkarn Singh

fedora mini alpha testing
by Peter Robinson
Arriving fashionably late, and mostly intact, to the "Constantine"
Alpha party I'd like to announce that Moblin on Fedora has made it's
initial debut for Fedora Mini :)
Still a work in progress, Moblin is now in a mostly usable state on
Fedora for testing. It has hence come well dressed for the alpha party
in the "Constantine"
theme in that its still very much in the testing stage :-) But if your
still game..... to give your netbook it's first real work out read on!
If its running the Constantine alpha or rawhide, you can test it by
simply do a 'yum groupinstall "Moblin Desktop Environment"'. Once
that's done simply logout or reboot and you can prepare for take off
by selecting "Moblin User Experience" during login. While the core
interface in now there there's still a couple of packages that are
will arrive over the next week so. Running 'yum groupinstall "Moblin
Desktop Environment"' again will top you up :)
I look forward to feedback and help in making it great for F-12, and
all other Moblin and Fedora Mini feedback. I'd also like some help in
documenting supported netbook hardware combinations for F-12 so please
send me smolt profiles, hardware reports or add and update details to
the wiki page here (1).
I look forward to a great start to Fedora Mini!
Peter
