[Test-Announce] Fedora 18 Beta Test Compose 3 (TC3) Available Now!

[Andre Robatino]

As per the Fedora 18 schedule [1], Fedora 18 Beta Test Compose 3 (TC3)
is now available for testing. Content information, including changes,
can be found at https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5349#comment:5 .
Please see the following pages for download links (including delta ISOs)
and testing instructions. Normally dl.fedoraproject.org should provide
the fastest download, but download-ib01.fedoraproject.org is available
as a mirror (with an approximately 1 hour lag) in case of trouble. To
use it, just replace "dl" with "download-ib01" in the download URL.

Desktop:

Ideally, all Alpha and Beta priority test cases for Installation [2],
Base [3], and Desktop [4] should pass in order to meet the Beta Release
Criteria [5]. Help is available on #fedora-qa on irc.freenode.net [6],
or on the test list [7].

Did a netinstall of TC3 on a Core I5 system with an Nvidia GTX 460 SE.

Anaconda would not install over an old install.  I had to clear the HD 
with fdisk.

Before the install finished, the screen went black except for the cursor.
I was not able to enter root password or find the reboot  button.
Using the F2 console I disabled selinux, opened up root, and rebooted.

When booting the installed Linux it took some minutes to load Fedora
and start listening to the keyboard and mouse.  These are on a USB
hub, however neither the motherboard BIO nor grub have any delay
listening to the keyboard.

After some uptime I was recording audio with Audacity when Noveau 
spazzed again.
See the attached screen shot.
