[Test-Announce] Fedora 22 Alpha Test Compose 7 (TC7) Available Now!

[Adam Williamson]

As per the Fedora 22 schedule [1], Fedora 22 Alpha Test Compose 7 
(TC7) is now available for testing.

Note a significant known bug in TC7: Workstation live image boot will 
often hang at the point where X should start up. This can be worked 
around by just booting a few times (sometimes it works...) or by 
editing 'rhgb quiet' out of the boot parameters. The bug report for 
this is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1197224 .

Content information, including changes, can be found at 
https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/6102# comment:10. Please see 
the following pages for download links 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.

Ideally, all Alpha priority test cases for each of these test pages 
[2] should pass in order to meet the Alpha Release Criteria [3]. For 
the Fedora 22 cycle we are also trying to run the Beta and Final tests 
at this time, to try and identify later release blocker bugs as early 
as possible.

Help is available on #fedora-qa on irc.freenode.net [4], or on the 
test list [5].

All these display as TC5 not 7.

As discussed in an earlier thread, there's some kind of issue with the 
reverse proxy cache that sits in front of the wiki that sometimes 
leads to redirect pages giving you stale results. Forced reload (shift-
ctrl-alt-r) will usually clear it, or closing/re-opening the browser. 
Worst case you can just hand-edit the URLs in the obvious way.

I downloaded the 32 bit workstation netinst and installed
Creative/Dev on an older computer without problems.
Wine seems to work on the 32 bit install.

I then tried the netinst on my main office machine,
ASUS P8z77-VLE Plus 3770-k  Nvidia GTX 970.
The netinst would not come up in graphics so I
took the VNC option.   The installer could not see
the hard drive.

Hi,
silly situation, probably my fault.
After deletion of ".... rhgb" I could boot "F22 Live Desktop TC7 x86_64" after production
with LiveUsbCreator with F21 to an usb flash media with this flash media.
But I don't find a button to install to harddrive. How to install to an external Disk?
Can You help?

Kind Regards

You should see a welcome screen when it first boots with a choice to 
install to hard disk, or it's the top icon in the Dash (on the left of 
the screen when you open the overview by clicking 'Activities' or 
pressing the start key).

What do you see here? An external drive should appear under Local
Standard Disks.
