yum upgrade creates /var/run/nologin
by Andrew Lutomirski
This has happened twice now. I run 'yum upgrade' and, all of a
sudden, /var/run/nologin exists. It contains a message telling me
that my system is still booting. This is, of course, a lie -- the
system has been up for quite a while, *and I'm logged in with the
screen locked*.
This is rather impolite. /var/run/nologin isn't owned by any package,
so I have no clue where to file the bug.

Unresponsive reviewer, glusterfs-openstack-swift,
by Kaleb S. KEITHLEY
Hi,
The gluster community has been trying to get its
glusterfs-openstack-swift package reviewed since August (2013).
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1003089
I realize that reviewers are often unpaid volunteers working on their
own time. On the flip side, the package owner, who is trying to get this
package reviewed, has never done this before and is learning as he goes.
This package is intended to replace an obsolete sub-package
(glusterfs-ufo) that was removed in August; the Gluster and Swift
communities are suffering from the lack of a replacement.
Is there anything that can be done to wrap up this package review so
that we can move forward?
Thanks for your consideration,

"a stop job is running for User Manager for 0"
by Paul Wouters
I'm using a minimal netinstall version of fedora20 for testing using
KVM. We very often cycle these machines (once per test, we run hundreds
of tests)
Regularly, we get tests failing because the VM does not boot within 60
seconds, and seems to hang at:
"a stop job is running for User Manager for 0"
The machine is still in single user mode, so I cannot get any more
information out of it. The message is rather useless, because it does
not tell me anything about the problem. Which job is still running? What
is it waiting for? What's a User Manager? Who is "0"?
I'm not even sure at what component we are looking for to report a bug :(
Does anyone have more information for me?

Good Fedora-compatible multi-monitor video card recommendation
by Digimer
Hi all,
What would be a good (as in, relatively painless) video card for driving
as many 1080p monitors as possible? I'm not concerned about 3D
performance at all... It will be to display terminals/rarely-changing
web pages only.
I know Matrox sort of specializes in multi-monitor setups, but I can't
say I've heard them recommended much.
Fedora 20, fwiw.
Thanks!

additional repository with {experimental,incubating} content
by Marcela Mašláňová
Yesterday we spoke at Env and Stacks WG about Fedora additional
repository. I was wondering what might other products need to put there.
Will be the content experimental? Would it be the content just
developing (not good for main Fedora repository) or simply not good to
became Fedora package, because it contains bundles?
I would love to hear your use-cases, so Env WG could create policy and
workflow for such repo.
Currently, it looks like it could contain also packages, which will be
good for main repo in the future. The repository should have only
minimal rules, not standard review, no conflicts among packages, ... You
can follow whole discussion here [1], but no conclusion yet, just ideas.
Another question is if for example Ruby collection needed by OpenShift
(Cloud WG) will be needed in main repo or it could be installed from
additional repository.
