Fedora 16 Beta RC3: desktop validation requested
by Adam Williamson 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

Hey, everyone. We have one final Beta RC (hopefully!) for desktop validation: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/16-Beta.RC3/Live/x86_64/ We could really use some help ensuring the desktop validation tests are done across all the desktops to make sure they're in shape for Beta. More info and the results page here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_16_Beta_RC3_Desktop It's easy to do the tests and file the results, there's full instructions there, but do feel free to poke me or anyone else in #fedora-qa if you have trouble. At minimum we need the Alpha and Beta tests for Desktop, Fallback and KDE to be complete in order to sign off on the Beta release, but it'd be great to have results for all of the tests for all desktops. We got the tests done for Desktop and KDE in RC2, and there should be no difference with RC3 - the only changes between RC2 and RC3 are an updated libreport to fix a bug with reporting bugs from the installer, and dropping gnome-documents from the default install as it crashes on start - but we still need to check. Fallback mode is highest priority as that wasn't tested in RC2. Thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

PIM version in F16
by Colin J Thomson 25 Sep '11

25 Sep '11

Hi, I would like to start testing F16 but I am not sure what version of kdepim it has. Assuming it has kdepim-4.7.x (kmail2) my question is are there packages available like we have for F15 to allow us to use kde-4.7.x and kdepim-4.4.11 (kmail1) Cheers Colin -- Fedora 15 (Lovelock) Registered Linux user number #342953

KMail Mailing List
by Timothy Murphy 25 Sep '11

25 Sep '11

I see that according to the KMail Handbook (kdepim-4.4.11) ------------------------------- Mailing List If you are going to use the folder for a mailing list then you should check Folder holds a mailing list to associate this folder with the mailing list. Next you should click on Detect Automatically. ------------------------------- What exactly is a "mailing list" in this context? The Handbook does not seem to give any information on this. How does one install a mailing list into a Folder? Could someone give an example of such a mailing list, please. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Fedora 16 Beta RC2: desktop validation requested
by Adam Williamson 24 Sep '11

24 Sep '11

Hey, everyone. It's been a hard trek, but we have a second release candidate for the F16 Beta, and we have live images for the four major desktops: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/16-Beta.RC2/Live/x86_64/ We could really use some help ensuring the desktop validation tests are done across all the desktops to make sure they're in shape for Beta. More info and the results page here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_16_Beta_RC2_Desktop It's easy to do the tests and file the results, there's full instructions there, but do feel free to poke me or anyone else in #fedora-qa if you have trouble. At minimum we need the Alpha and Beta tests for Desktop, Fallback and KDE to be complete in order to sign off on the Beta release, but it'd be great to have results for all of the tests for all desktops.

Fedora 16 RC1 KDE in qemu-kvm
by Martin Kho 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

Hi, Did anyone managed to run the latest Fedora 16 Beta in virt-manager? For me desktop-plasma is crashing after I've logged in. This does not happen when I run it from an usb-stick. The desktop spin runs fine in a vm. Do I have a problem with a kde-component (kdebase-workspace/desktop-plasma) or is it an issue with qemu-kvm/virt-manager? Thanks, Martin Kho

kmail sucking up 100% cpu
by Neal Becker 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

I should just give up on kmail. After enabling 'disconnected' for my google imap, I see a really nasty behavior. When I try to open a folder, I get a spinning graphic effect on the folder name. This is (probably) what causes X to use 100% cpu (nvidia driver). That's really helpful. Because the computer is busy, it's taking a while to update, so kmail helps out with a graphic that uses 100% cpu. A positive feedback loop.
