November 2010 - test - Fedora Mailing-Lists

by Jan Wildeboer

(Sorry for top-posting, blame blackberry and me) IMHO - if preupgrade doesn't work for those running F13 - it would be a blocker for F14 release IMHO.

A few days after would be rather bad and should have been previously clearly communicated, given that preupgrade is one of our official 'Good Ways To Upgrade' and lots of people want to upgrade on release day. If there's a significant chance preupgrading to F14 won't be possible on release day, could you please co-ordinate with the appropriate teams to ensure the PRs that go out on release day explain this and give an ETA for preupgrade? -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

Fresh install, no network

by Patrick O'Callaghan

I just did a fresh install of F14-RC1 (i.e. the gold version, x86_64) with default options and have no network. My F13 system on the same h/w and net had no problems. This is a bog-standard wired Ethernet using DHCP to a Belkin hub. The net itself is fine as other machines can connect, but F14 is dead. The "Edit Connections" dialogue is completely normal, IPv4, DHCP for everything etc. The LAN interface is an onboard Intel e1000. The kernel module is loaded. Running "ifup eth0" (after "ifdown") times out after 90 seconds. Attempting to run nm-applet gives a mysterious message about "Could not get the session bus". It then dumps core. This is about as uncomplicated a setup as it's possible to imagine, and yet it doesn't work out of the box. Suggestions would be welcome. poc PS Sending from my F13 netbook on the exact same network.

Changes towards previous version 0.6.34: * New API function iso_write_opts_set_part_offset() controls creation of an MBR with a first partiton table entry that bears non-zero start address. A second set of volume descriptors and directory tree+tables gets created which can be used to mount the image at the partition start. * Hiding all non-API symbols from the linker by use of --version-script * Automatic C++ detection in libisofs.h by using macro __cplusplus * Corrected several memory leaks and potential NULL pointer evaluations in case of memory shortage. This release can use libjte to produce jigdo files along with the ISO image. Further filesystem images may be appended as MBR partitions 1 to 4. The capability was added to produce boot blocks for computers with MIPS CPU. Changes towards previous version 0.6.36: * New API calls iso_write_opts_attach_jte() and iso_write_opts_detach_jte() allow to use libjte for jigdo production. * New API call iso_write_opts_set_tail_blocks() for tail padding inside ISO image. * New API call iso_image_generator_is_running() to learn when the write thread is done. * New API calls iso_image_add_mips_boot_file(), iso_image_get_mips_boot_files(), iso_image_give_up_mips_boot(). * New API call iso_write_opts_set_partition_img() for appending e.g. a small empty FAT12 filesystem which may be used on USB stick. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Sun Oct 31 2010 Robert Scheck <robert(a)fedoraproject.org> 0.6.38-1 - Upgrade to 0.6.38 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ libmikey-0.8.0-0.2.20100127svn3750.fc13 (FEDORA-2010-17013) A C++ library implementing the Multimedia Internet KEYing protocol -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Initial build -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #626701 - Review Request: libmikey - A C++ library implementing the Multimedia Internet KEYing protocol https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=626701 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ libmsip-0.8.0-0.1.20100629svn3775.fc13 (FEDORA-2010-17014) A C++ library implementing the SIP protocol -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Initial build -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #626726 - Review Request: libmsip - A C++ library implementing the SIP protocol https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=626726 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ pootle-2.1.2-1.fc13 (FEDORA-2010-16998) Localization and translation management web application -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Update to 2.1.2 - Fix XSS on translate page - Improved monolingual support - Improved GNU style project support - New translations: Zulu, Greek, Danish, Acoli and Fulah - Completed translations: Uighur, Chinese (China), Catalan, Asturian, Akan and Ganda - Various bug fixes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Oct 29 2010 Dwayne Bailey <dwayne(a)translate.org.za> - 2.1.2-1 - Update to 2.1.2 - Fix XSS on translate page - Improved monolingual support - Improved GNU style project support - New translations: Zulu, Greek, Danish, Acoli and Fulah - Completed translations: Uighur, Chinese (China), Catalan, Asturian, Akan and Ganda - Various bug fixes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #647832 - pootle: XSS via 'match_names' parameter on translate.html page https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=647832 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ postgresql-plparrot-0.04-2.fc13 (FEDORA-2010-17019) A PostgreSQL procedural language for the Parrot virtual machine -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #634091 - Review Request: postgresql-plparrot - A PostgreSQL procedural language for the Parrot virtual machine https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=634091 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ q4wine-0.120-3.fc13 (FEDORA-2010-17008) Qt4 GUI for wine -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Q4Wine is a qt4 GUI for wine.

Re: Devices (was Re: Preupgrade change?)

by Jan Wildeboer

Oops. I meant correct use of the "refers-to" header. Thread completeness relying *only* on refers-to is based on an incorrect assumption that refers-to is compulsory and not optional. IMHO. Jan

Re: Devices (was Re: Preupgrade change?)

by Jan Wildeboer

And as a closing one for OT stuff - the correct use of reply-to is unfortunately optional in the RFC. I knew all of this hence my excuse. Still noone has reacted to the point I raised. But as at least one person on this list values thraed-completeness over content, I gather it is better to simply accept that no matter what argument is used, if it isn't done in whatever artificial definition of correctness it will be ignored. Thanks for showing me. Jan

NVidia Driver question???

by Rob Healey

Greeting All: First of all, I would like to say thank you for whatever information that you can give me... I would like to know if it is better to use the supplied video drivers by fe xorg-x11-drv-? or would it be better to use the video driver from NVidia? My video card is: nVidia Corporation NV44 [Quadro NVS 285] (rev a1 Would anyone also be able to tell me if I will be able to gnome-shell/ gnome 3 with this video card as it currently says that I will need 3d acceleration now when I try to go to Desktop Effects if I were to use the NVidia supplied drivers? I do not even know if it would be wise to use the NVidia drivers anyway? Sincerely yours, Rob G. Healey

2010-11-01 - No QA meeting planned

by James Laska

# Fedora Quality Assurance Meeting # Date: 2010-11-01 # Time: 15:00 UTC (11:00 EDT, 16:00 CET) [1] # Location: #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.net Greetings gang, I have no planned topics for a meeting today. Please keep up the great work in discussion F-14 issues encountered. Your discussion has helped fuel a list of issues [1] requiring Common_F14_bugs documentation [2]. Adam and I will likely be scrubbing that list later today to clear out the CommonBugs? requests. If you'd like to add any issues to the list, there are instructions on the wiki [2]. Just a heads up, daylight savings time has ended for some locations, and will end in the US this coming weekend. Please update your calendars accordingly. Also, now is a good time to discuss next weeks meeting time. The last few DST changes, we've kept the meeting at localtime() instead of following UTC. My vote would be to continue that trend and meet at 16:00 UTC (11:00 EST, 17:00 CET) next week. But I'm certainly flexible based on what works for everyone. Thanks, James [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=dorem&remaction=run&named... [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F14_bugs
