GNOME 3 Test Day #3 recap
by Vitezslav Humpa
The final of the three Fedora 15 GNOME 3 Test Days took place on
2011-04-21.
It drew 23 testers which is little more than previously, while less
original bugs were reported this time - a fact connected to some great
work developers did on GNOME in recent months. Also this time the
final 3.0 packages were included in the Test Day and everybody who
attended the first one could see the difference.
Most bugs were again reported into Fedora bugzilla and a couple in the
GNOME bugzilla. Bugs relate to all parts of gnome-shell and are mostly
centred around standing issues like multi-head configurations etc.
Here is the list of original bugs. As most have already been triaged,
pre-existing bugs and duplicates are not listed.
Fedora bugzilla:
680147 NEW - gnome control-center and gnome-user-share crash on
manually created account
698148 NEW - [abrt] empathy-3.0.0-1.fc15: Process
/usr/bin/empathy-accounts was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)
698807 NEW - Icon disappears when I try to connect to hidden network
699359 NEW - Firefox doesn't respect the desktop's default URI
handlers in GNOME 3
695227 NEW - Notification Area and Window Cursor Boundary on Dual Head
Systems.
698817 NEW - Icon disappears when trying to rearrange on the dash
699422 NEW - There is a non-empty Other category in the Applications
menu in the GNOME3 test day Live Image
698711 NEW - Generic video multihead test failure
699023 NEW - Adding small files fails
698556 NEW - Bluetooth can't find any device
698244 ASSIGNED - app icon exposed in gnome-shell is fuzzy
695222 CLOSED UPSTREAM - Inconsistent Behaviour Changing Virtual
Desktops on Dual Head Systems | OLDER
698585 CLOSED UPSTREAM - Some dragged applications do not work in the
Corresponding workspace
698698 CLOSED UPSTREAM - 12/24 time format doesn't get updated on panel
when changed in control center
GNOME bugzilla:
648556 UNCONFIRMED - Date and Time application doesn't correctly
control the ntpd service
648599 NEEDINFO - System Info -> Default Applications doesn't remember
the changes

The Cloud Test Day is Tomorrow
by Tim Flink
The Cloud SIG test day for Fedora 15 is will be this Thursday [1]. The
focus will be on using BoxGrinder [2] and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud
(EC2) [3] with Fedora 15.
BoxGrinder is "a set of projects that help you grind out appliances for
multiple virtualization and Cloud providers." Another way to put it is
that BoxGrinder makes it easy to create and deploy custom installations
of Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS to your favorite KVM, Xen
or VMWare based clouds. This includes private clouds and EC2.
Live images, prebuilt EC2 amis and meta-appliances [4] will be available
on the test day if you don't already have Fedora 15 installed. Detailed
instructions for how to test are available on the wiki [1].
There are test cases for BoxGrinder that can be run without an AWS
account for EC2 but testing on Amazon's infrastructure and other cloud
providers (BoxGrinder also supports ElaticHosts, SKALI Cloud, Open
Hosting and Serverlove) would be very much appreciated.
Get ready for some cloudy good-ness and please help test if you have the
time!
