Announcing Fedora 7 Test 3 (6.92)
by Jeremy Katz
Welcome to Fedora 7 Test 3.
I am please to announce the third of four test releases for Fedora 7.
Downloads
========
DVD and network installation are available.
http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/
The recommended method of download is via BitTorrent from this site.
http://fedora.redhat.com/Download/mirrors.html
HTTP, FTP, and RSYNC downloads are available from Fedora Project mirrors
listed above. Note that not all mirrors may be synced at this time.
New in Fedora 7 Test 3
========
This test release includes significant new versions of many key components and
technologies. The following sections provide a brief overview of major
changes from the last release of Fedora.
Merger of Core and Extras
========
* The Fedora Core and Extras software repositories are being merged,
resulting in a shared infrastructure and a single repository of packages to
which everyone is invited to contribute.
* Fedora 7 Test 3 is packaged initially as a Desktop/Development
Workstation/Server implementation, called "Prime". This spin is delivered in
DVD iso format only as a trial, see
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-February/msg00993....
for the discussion on this.
* Many more packages are available in the development repositories.
Live CD
========
* This test release includes an i386 ISO for a Desktop Live CD. This Live
CD features the ability to install to a hard disk using the same graphical
Anaconda installer as the non-live CD variant.
* This test release also includes an x86_64 ISO for a Desktop Live
image. Due to size, this will require a DVD. As with the i386 Live
image, the ability to install to a hard disk is available.
* This test release features a new i386 ISO for a KDE Live CD. Note
that as of this writing, this ISO is only available via bittorrent. It
should be available via the mirrors in the near future.
Desktop
========
* This test release features GNOME 2.18
* A brand new Echo icon theme is included as the default in this release.
This icon theme is incomplete, but with appropriate feedback and progress,
may become the default in the general release.
* Fast User Switching is now available via the fast-user-switch-applet.
See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureFastUserSwitching for more
details.
Performance
========
* System performance is generally slower in the test releases as compared
to the general release since we enable several options that help with
debugging.
System Administration
========
* System administration tools may be modified under the testing process.
System Level Changes
========
* Fedora 7 Test 3 features a 2.6.21rc5 based kernel. Current release
information is being tracked on the kernel release notes source page.
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Kernel)
Amanda
Users who upgrade from older releases need to read the amanda.conf and
amanda-client.conf man pages to learn about the the new syntax for calling
amandad, as well as edit the /etc/xinetd.d/amanda configuration file to
follow the new syntax.
Road Map And Release Schedule
========
* http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/7/
Intended Audience for Test Releases
========
Test 1 is targeted for developers, who use it "at their own risk", and
contains many bleeding edge packages.
Test 2 is for early adopters. Most things should work and we need to your help
to find what is broken.
Test 3 is for early adopters. Most things should work and we need to your help
to find what is broken.
Test 4 is for beta users. This is the time when we must have full community
participation. Without this participation both hardware and software
functionality suffers.
Quality Assurance for Test Releases
========
The Fedora Project has a process in place for ensuring the highest possible
quality even in our test releases. Many bugs are identified, prioritized and
fixed during the testing process. We also have a list of known bugs in this
release. Refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/7/Test3TreeTesting for
more details.
Translations of Release Notes
========
Due to the rapidly changing nature of test releases, translations of release
notes for test releases are not practical. The initial goal is to have a
translation of the release notes included in the test4 release and to allow
community review and correction before the general release. As always, the
general release is translated following the established practices for
localization (l10n) and internationalization (i18n)
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N), which result in comprehensive,
high-quality release notes in a variety of languages.
About Fedora
========
Fedora is a set of projects sponsored by Red Hat and guided by the
contributors. These projects are developed by a large community of people who
strive to provide and maintain the very best in free, open source software
and standards. The central Fedora project is an operating system and platform
based on Linux that is always free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute,
now and forever.
You can help the Fedora Project community continue to improve Fedora if you
file bug reports and enhancement requests. Refer to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugsAndFeatureRequests for more information.
Thank you for your participation.
To find out more general information about Fedora, refer to the following Web
pages:

can't install F7T3 off usb hard disk from DVD iso file with boot.iso
by Mark Schlegel
I frequently install Fedora by downloading the DVD iso file
for installation via the boot.iso burned to a CD where the
DVD image iso file is on a usb hard disk (/dev/sdb1 )
On previous fedora's I usually used
boot: linux askmethod
but for FC7T3 it seems you use the menu, and select the top
row "install or update..." and eventually you get to
"Installation Method". I selected Hard drive and
sdb1 as the device (correct for the usb drive with the
DVD image on it). I used F2 to work into the drive
to select the DVD file.
The result is
install exited abnormally [1/1]
tty3 shows:
trying to mount /dev/sdb1 as partition
mntloop loop6 on /tmp/drivers as /tmp/dpart/isos/f7t3/F-6.92-i386-DVD.iso fd
is 11
error umounting: Device or resource busy
I'm guessing install from usb hard disk isn't set for the Test 3?

USB stick not writeable as user
by Guido Ledermann
With F7Test3 my USB stick (FAT32) is mounted /dev/sdd1 on /media/disk
type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal). Being not root, I can't write
on it. I'm sure that I could write on it with F7Test2.
Can anyone confirm this change?

Adventures with FC7T3
by Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX
Here are results of installs on a few machines.
telnetd - where did it go? installing legacy network
servers mentions telnet but doesn't result in telnetd.
Asus P4C800 Deluxe P4, ATI AIW 9600
Generally smooth install, some items missing.
Anaconda detected the motherboard ethernet but
not a PCI wireless card. Kernel detected the
PCI wireless board and gave it the settings meant
for the ethernet.
Asus P5B-E Core Duo 6400
x86_64 graphics and text install both freeze when transferring
install image to HD. This is after a successful mkfs.
i386 installs. Installer and kernel detect the Atansic
ethernet.
Asus A8N-E: a real joyride
This system has 3 IDE HD, IDE DVD, 1 SATA HD. After language
selection, installer could not see the IDE DVD. Sabayon 3.3
did not have any difficulty loading from the IDE DVD. So I
had to use an USB DVD.
Graphical install scrambled the screen oa PCI ExpressNvidia 6600.
Plugging the CRT into the other display connector
took care of this. Note that previously Linux did not care
which connector was used, including Sabayon 3.3 install.
The Nvidia 9755 run file produced a defective server that
would not run. Both 32 and 64 bit. I loaded the x86-64
flavor first, gave up, then loaded thei386 FC7T3.
A number of packages I thought would be loaded weren't.
I was not able to get Samba to serve most of my drives.
When the two month old ethernet reliabilty problem
reared its head I gave up and changed the BIOS back to
booting good olde 2869.

Ethernet still unreliable
by Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX
Previously I reported that every kernel since 2869 has
a reliability problem with PCI ethernet adapters.
(Not exactly a reliability problem - it is certain to
fail within a day or two, usually an hour or so.)
This is with an Asus A8N-E motherboard with 3 GB RAM.
I've tried two or three different brands of ethernet
boards with the same result.
With FC7 the assignment of the motherboard ethernet
and the PCI ethernet is reversed, but the bug remains.
The PCI ethernet connection to the outside world quit
during the initial set of updates. So the bug is still
there.
According to emails I've received, I'm not the only
one with a Fedora that can't keep the networks
running for long.
As before, returning to 2869 restores normal operation.
This showstopper was first reported Feb 1.

F7 T3 selecting wrong type of drive
by Jim
I downloaded the T3 'prime' DVD and it passed the "media test" in the

T3 is trying to select for me a 'sda' drive and it won't allow me to
change it to 'hda', how can I get it to select a 'hda' drive.,

f7t3 after install reboots on qemu but not on qemu-kvm
by Gianluca Cecchi
Installed f7t3 x86 under qemu-kvm (host has kvm-12 under latest kernel
of fc6 x86_64).
At reboot if I start with qemu-kvm, I get
BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!
[<c04061d9>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x1a/0x2f
Instead I can start with qemu without problems.
Tried with and without -no-acpi option and with single or multicpu
(installation was with one).
and same problem
Any hint? Qemu without kvm is very slow.....
Does it make sense to file a bug?
Thanks in advance,
Gianluca
