This is a tracking bug for Change: ACPICA Tools Update
For more details, see: http://fedoraproject.org//wiki/Changes/AcpicaTools
For developers working with the ACPI subsystem, there are tools available from
the reference implementation at http://www.acpica.org. These tools have been
restructured over time and the current Fedora packages as a result contain
either outdated versions or do not make available a complete set of tools. We
propose an acpica-tools package that replaces both the existing iasl package
and the the existing pmtools package in order to make all current tools
available, and make it more straightforward in the future to keep them
up-to-date.
--- Additional comment from Al Stone on 2013-08-28 18:08:23 EDT ---

acpica-tools obsoletes pmtools, but it appears it should also obsolete iasl:

--- Additional comment from Petr Hracek on 2013-08-23 03:53:55 EDT ---
Main Developer Assistant GUI is finished and testable.
Problem with aborting project creation was already solved.
GUI for creation of user assistants depends on some devassistant-lint engine
which is not implemented yet (will be in future).
devassistant-lint program should check whether yaml assistant is correct and
runnable by devassistant engine.
Developer Assistant Creator GUI can be used only for beginners which do not
want to use any command line or IDE editor for YAML files.
Field "Fixed in Version" will be filled during next week when will be a new
release
--- Additional comment from Bohuslav "Slavek" Kabrda on 2013-08-28 07:57:30 EDT

Testable in devassistant-0.6.1-2.fc20 by invoking "da-gui".

Summary: 9.14.5 Recommended Partition Scheme, outdated info
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Component: install-guide
Assignee: pbokoc(a)redhat.com
Reporter: bugzilla(a)colorremedies.com
QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
CC: pbokoc(a)redhat.com, zach(a)oglesby.co
Existing documentation with the problem is here:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/20/html/Installation_Guide/s2-di…
Here's a minimal list of problems and proposed changes for this page.
1. 9.14.5.1 recommends a layout the installer doesn't use by default. To fix
it:
a. Change "partitions" to "mount points", to be consistent with newui
terminology, and to apply to either partitions or LVs since the default is
swap, root, home on LV, and only boot is on a partition.
2. The first NOTE, under "A /boot/ partition (500 MB)":
Let's just remove this. We haven't dealt with cylinders on drives for over 5
years, but rather Logical Block Addresses. I'm not sure what problem this is
trying to solve, other than 2.2+TB drives in which case they need to be GPT and
hope the BIOS doesn't puke. If it does, a separate /boot isn't going to fix it.
Seems like very antiquated advice.
3. A root partition (3.0 GB - 5.0 GB)
Change to 3 GB to 20 GB to be consistent with the body text "full desktop
installation, a minimum of 20GB for the root partition is recommended". Please
also drop the insignificant digit
4. Side bar "Root and /root"
Both sentences are confusing, suggested rewrite:
The / mount point is the top of the Linux Filesystem Hierarchy, and is referred
to as the root file system, or root.The /root directory, sometimes pronounced
"slash-root", is the home directory for the root user.
*I consulted the v2.3 FHS to come up with this.
5. A home partition (at least 100 MB)
100MB is useless for gnome which is our default installation. Its indexer
consumes 3GB for just one person. So if present, it needs to be a lot bigger
than this or it should just be in /.
6. "To store user data separately from system data, create a dedicated
partition within a volume group for the /home directory. This will enable you
to upgrade or reinstall Fedora without erasing user data files."
This is really confusing because it conflates partitions and Logical Volumes in
one sentence. Rewrite as follows:
"To store user data separately from system data, create a mount point for
/home. This will enable you to reinstall Fedora without erasing user data."
7. "If you create many partitions instead of one large / partition, upgrades
become easier."
This should be removed as it's based on partitioning mythology/religion, not
fact. We even say separate /usr is proscribed. Fewer volumes to assemble is
less complex which is easier, but so long as we can upgrade what we permit
users to create, the "ease" of upgrading should be the same and if not then
it's a bug. I'd just strike this whole sentence.
8. 9.14.5.1.1 Advice on partitions.
"Each kernel installed on your system requires approximately 220 MB on the
/boot partition."
Untrue. On /boot, kernel 3.14 takes up 18.1MB total. That includes config*,
initramfs*, System.map*, and vmlinuz*. Debug kernel with a generic non-host
initramfs is 45MB. Even fully installed (to both /boot and /lib) is 141MB. This
should be changed to "approximately 25MB" which leaves a bit of headroom for
growing kernel sizes.
9. Find all instances of "partition" and make sure we mean partition (i.e.
related to an entry in the MBR or GPT) and not either "mount point" or
"volume". Partition is not a good generic term for applying to Logical Volumes
and Btrfs subvolumes.

2.1.1. How Do I Download Installation Files?
To follow a Web-based guide to downloading, visit
http://get.fedoraproject.org/. For guidance on which architecture to download,
refer to Section 2.1.2, “Which Architecture Is My Computer?”.
Would the meaning be more clear if the title started with the word "Of" as in
"Of which Architecture Is My Computer?"
(sections 2.1.2 and 2.1.3)
--- Additional comment from Pete Travis on 2013-08-08 20:59:31 EDT ---
The "Typographic Conventions" content is defined by publican, the publishing
tool used to create the guide.
--- Additional comment from Leslie Satenstein on 2013-08-15 15:36:18 EDT ---
In the installation guide, I noted that chapter two and following that
"the discussion is about downloading the various versions of Fedora
(netinstall, dvd, etc)."
Then aas a follow up, there is a long discussion about which version of Fedora
is the one to select from a list of options based on architecture and the like.
Should not the latter documentation section precede the downloading
information? As the comments in the guide were "for new users of Linux and
experienced ones", the guide may (in my opinion) be presenting information that
the individual should know about before downloading or acquiring any version.
Most users of technical manuals do a two pass read.
The first read is to get an appreciation of the product and guide, and the
second pass is to follow the recipe. By following the recipe, it should be
a) step one, determine your version and suitability of hardware
b) step two determine the version of Fedora you want to install (32bit/64bit)
etc.
c) Download/acquire
....
and so forth.
The guide is almost in the step by step recipe sequence,
If you go forward, would the improvements be present before Fedora 20,so the
new sequence could be ready for a reviewer and his comments? And if you keep
the sequence, I presume the update draft would also be ready for the reviewers
and their comments.

Depends On: 889887
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #889887 +++
Description of problem:
If one boots the netinstall to install over nfs (or anything that is not
closest mirror) one needs to wait for closest mirror to be ready. In my case it
is about 20 minutes, but that will be different for other people.
The issue is that anaconda has already selected (correctly) closest mirror for
the netinstall iso, but it is cannot be interrupted. I wanted to install from
nfs source over wi-fi but i must wait my SLOW(TM) internet connection prior to
selecting nfs as an INSTALLATION SOURCE.
If anaconda has access to the internet, everything has to wait for closest
mirror to be ready.
Please, consider adding a small timeout that allows one to enter INSTALLATION
DESTINATION to override the closes mirror.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F18-TC2
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot anaconda netinstall
2. wait for closest mirror to be ready
3. select your nfs installation source and install.
Actual results:
long wait for an installation source to be setup which will not be used.
Expected results:
some time to enter INSTALLATION SOURCE and be able to select nfs (or other)
without waiting for closest mirror.
Additional info:
--- Additional comment from Chris Lumens on 2013-01-22 15:30:11 EST ---
I do somewhat agree, given that we've got this shiny installation source UI
that we then don't really let you use. On the other hand, our threading/spoke
stuff doesn't really work in this direction. Threads can wait on other things
to be completed but there's not really any way to stop a thread when you enter
a spoke. So, I think implementation of this would be very difficult.
Would you settle for a check for the old "askmethod" command line parameter and
not immediately fire up the mirror checking stuff if that parameter exists?
--- Additional comment from Reartes Guillermo on 2013-01-23 16:46:11 EST ---
> Would you settle for a check for the old "askmethod" command line parameter
> and not immediately fire up the mirror checking stuff if that parameter exists?
I have no objection for such proposal.
The current workaround (Fedora Release NetInstall ISO) is:
1. Start Anaconda and reach the MAIN HUB
2. Enter NETWORK CONFGURATION and 'disable' the Network
3. Wait for INSTALLATION SOURCE to be back in 'Nothing Selected'
4. Enter NETWORK CONFGURATION and 'enable' the Network
5. Enter INSTALLATION SOURCE and now select NFS or other.
In my test (KVM Guest) it works, but i don't know if this workaround
do work with all network cards at them moment. (It should but there
could be bugs).
Since this workaround is somewhat simple, maybe it should be documented
as the default way of aborting the automatic selection of closest mirror
by Anaconda for NetInstall Images. In that case, nothing new is needed.
Cheers.
--- Additional comment from Adam Williamson on 2013-05-11 02:33:13 EDT ---
Tested with F19 Beta TC3. The askmethod behaviour described in c#1 has been
added. It works, though it's somewhat ugly: it leaves the Installation Source
spoke in an 'error' condition. But it works.
--- Additional comment from Adam Williamson on 2013-05-13 12:38:48 EDT ---
Note, Reartes took the testing further than me, and found that if you actually
try to complete an install with the new parameter, it fails:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=962098 .
--- Additional comment from Reartes Guillermo on 2013-06-01 17:05:55 EDT ---
There parameter 'askmethod', it is still not usable due to the issue in comment
#3.
Re-Tested with F19b RC4 (19.30-1)
--- Additional comment from Adam Williamson on 2013-06-02 13:54:58 EDT ---
How do you mean 'not usable'? It does what it's meant to do: lets you go into
the spoke immediately. I wouldn't call that 'not usable'.

Rewrite the Making Media section. It should include two major parts:

create a bootable DVD or USB drive on Linux, Mac and Windows, including

Update the Kickstart chapter.
Most of the surrounding text (howto) can be taken directly from RHEL7 Install
Guide[1].
The Kickstart Syntax reference section can be taken from there as well, but
note that many commands and options changed in Fedora since then, so it needs a
review and additional work. Some of the changes are described in the F21
Release Notes on the wiki[2].
Also: It has been reported that currently the syntax reference is really hard
to read and that it could use a table of contents. To do that, we should
probably consider moving it to a separate chapter and either turning each
command into its own section, or at least creating a few categories and
sections for them - so that a ToC is generated at the top of the chapter.

Current instructions on using VNC during the installations kind of work, but
they're fairly confusing and a little too general. The VNC chapter has been
completely rewritten in RHEL7[1], which means we just grab it and copy it into

with MD5 algorithm. The use of MD5 hash algorithm for certificate signatures is
now considered as insecure and thus all the main crypto libraries in Fedora
were patched to reject such certificates.
Certificates signed with MD5 algorithm are not present on public https web
sites anymore but they can be still in use on private networks or used for
authentication on openvpn based VPNs such as in bug 1157260. It is highly
recommended to replace such certificates with new ones signed with SHA256 or at
least SHA1. As a temporary measure the OPENSSL_ENABLE_MD5_VERIFY environment
variable can be set to allow verification of certificates signed with MD5
algorithm.

Summary: Fedora 20 Release Notes imply that rsyslog is no
longer installed
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Component: release-notes
Assignee: relnotes(a)fedoraproject.org
Reporter: toby(a)ovod-everett.org
QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
CC: relnotes(a)fedoraproject.org, wb8rcr(a)arrl.net,

Description of problem:
The Fedora 20 Release Notes imply that rsyslog is no longer installed (section
2.8.1) during normal installs. It appears, according to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talk:Changes/NoDefaultSyslog, that it got moved
from @core to @standard. However, I suspect that a lot of users will do
installs that include @standard, and as a result they will get rsyslog
installed and perhaps be confused as to why they got it when the Release Notes
imply it is no longer included. I can confirm that the
repodata/ac802acf81ab55a0eca1fe5d1222bd15b8fab45d302dfdf4e626716d374b6a64-Fedora-20-comps.xml
file on the x86_64 install DVD contains rsyslog in the @standard package group.
Also, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talk:Changes/NoDefaultSendmail implies
that sendmail got moved from @core to @standard, whereas it appears to me that
it actually got removed from both of them (at least I can't find it anywhere in
the comps.xml file).
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 20 x86_64
DVD.

--- Comment #21 from Stephen Wadeley <swadeley(a)redhat.com> ---
Please try this:
1. Start the system and, on the GRUB 2 boot screen, press the e key
for edit.
2. Remove the rhgb and quiet parameters from the end, or near the end,
of the linux16 line, or linuxefi on UEFI systems. Press Ctrl+a and
Ctrl+e to jump to the start and end of the line, respectively. On
some systems, Home and End might also work.
Important
The rhgb and quiet parameters must be removed in order to enable
system messages.
3. Add the following parameter at the end of the linux16 line, or
linuxefi on UEFI systems:
init=/bin/sh
The Linux kernel will run the /bin/sh shell rather than the system
init daemon. Therefore, some functions may be limited or missing.
4. Press Ctrl+x to boot the system with the parameter. The shell
prompt appears.
5. To preserve the SELinux context of the files that are to be
modified, load the SELinux policy into the kernel. Use the -i option
as this is the first time the policy is being loaded since boot:
~]# /usr/sbin/load_policy -i
6. The file system is mounted read-only. You will not be allowed to
change the password if the file system is not writable. Remount the
file system as writable:
~]# mount -o remount, rw /
7. Run the passwd command and follow the instructions displayed on the
command line to change the root password. Note that if the system is
not writable, the passwd tool fails with the following error:
Authentication token manipulation error
8. Remount the file system as read only:
~]# mount -o remount, ro /
9. Run the exec /sbin/init command to resume the initialization and
finish the system boot. Running the exec command with another command
specified replaces the shell and creates a new process; init in this
case.
