Fedora 12: Make Dell machines boot again
by Felix Schwarz 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

Hi *, since the last stable kernel update in Fedora 12, a lot of Dell machines do not boot anymore due to a kernel oops... Of course bugzilla has a couple of bug reports (e.g. #578217, #579118, #578663, #578590). There is a known fix/workaround which is already present in CVS (kernel-2.6.32.10-94.fc12) and a koji build which fixes the issue for all users. However there's no update in bodhi yet. Due to the severity of the problem, I'd like to see a push to updates-testing as soon as possible. fs

Orphaned bzr-gtk
by Toshio Kuratomi 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

I've orphaned bzr-gtk in rawhide. I'm no longer using GNOME so I haven't been able to maintain the nautilus integration. Additionally, I've packaged qbzr and use that for my daily work rather than bzr-gtk. If anyone wants to pick this up, I'll be happy to orphan the branches for current releases of Fedora (and EPEL) as well. -Toshio

Upstream bugs vs. Fedora bugs: KDE people do it wrong
by Christoph Wickert 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

I am irritated by the way the KDE SIG and the KDE bugzappers handle bugs. For most bugs that are reported they demand the reporter to file an upstream bug report at bugs.kde.org and set the bug to NEEDINFO. If the reporter doesn't respond, the bug is closed NOTABUG or WONTFIX. But if the bug has been reported upstream, the Fedora bug gets closed UPSTREAM. Ether way, the bug gets closed, no matter if it was actually fixed or not. IMHO filing bugs upstream is a maintainers duty. We are doing the same in Xfce or I do the same with all my packages. The only exception I make are feature requests, because I cannot support a request that I don't understand or that I am not convinced of. The use of a feature should be discussed upstream with the developers because they are in no way specific to the distribution, but bugs that affect Fedora need to be tracked in Fedora. The wiki says: > Deal with reported bugs in a timely manner > * [...] > * If there are bugs which you aren't capable of fixing yourself > because they deal with intricacies of the source code which > you don't fully understand, then you still need to address > these bugs. It can be helpful to work with the upstream > maintainer of the code, obtain help from more code-oriented > people on fedora-devel, or check other distributions for > patches. Always be sure to post to the bug report what you > have done so that the reporter knows what it happening and > what to expect. It is recommended that non-coder packagers > should find co-maintainers who are familiar with the > programming language used by their package(s), and can help > with such bugs as a kind of 'second line support'. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_maintainer_responsibilities#Deal_wit… The Fedora KDE maintainers and bugzappers already have a KDE bugzilla account, while most of our users don't. Thus it is easier for them to file the bug than it is for the user. The maintainer has to act as a proxy between the reporter and the developer. By closing down the bugs, our bugzilla is effectively rendered useless because there is no way of searching for bugs that affect our KDE packages. Bugzilla is for tracking bugs, not for blindly closing bug reports no matter if they are fixed or not! I'd like the KDE SIG and their bugzappers to reconsider their policy: 1. Forward bugs to the upstream developers 2. Leave bugs open until they are fixed upstream and in Fedora Regards, Christoph

Summer Coding 2010 ideas due 9 April
by Karsten Wade 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

While we finish the Summer Coding 2010 page (http://bit.ly/FSC-2010), it is past time for you all to let us know the problems you would like to see solved by summer coding/internship students. By Friday 09 April. Idea page is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Summer_Coding_2010_ideas How-to fill out an ideas page is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_idea_page_for_Summer_Coding Let’s get this filled with serious ideas you are willing to mentor for or help find the mentor. Join the discussion list and be prepared to talk about your ideas or proposals. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/summer-coding-discuss If you were already a mentor and want to help with mentoring, such as proposal reviews, let us know and join the mentors list. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/summer-coding-mentors Tracking these ideas is a PITA and in fact the lack of an ideas page lead to us not getting in the Google Summer of Code this year. This is all part of a larger issue around tracking smaller ideas for beginners and students, but for now this will have to do. Anyone want to hack on OpenHatch.org, please help. We’re hoping some of the functionality we are handling manually may be included in upcoming versions of OpenHatch. If that direction gets us fruit, we may use OpenHatch as an ongoing way to expose projects to students and other new contributors.

[Test-Announce] 2010-04-01 ABRT Test Day report
by Kamil Paral 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

This is a post-event review of the ABRT test day [1]. Thank you everyone who contributed to ABRT testing. Unfortunately there weren't many attendants, probably because it was really close to Easter holidays. But still there were some bugs discovered, the list is here (and I'm sure even more bugs were discovered and fixed by ABRT developers when preparing the test cases): 578875 NEW - SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/abrtd "read" access on sosreport-localhost-20100401160323-61f2.tar.xz. 578878 NEW - Items in context menu on empty list of crashes should be empty 578840 ASSIGNED - Old crashes are deleted when exceeding quota 578969 ASSIGNED - ABRT does not react to unhandled Python exceptions that don't have tracebacks (e.g. IndentationError) 578877 CLOSED DUPLICATE - SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/abrtd "unlink" access on sosreport-localhost-20100401160323-61f2.tar.xz. 578976 CLOSED NOTABUG - ABRT did not report Python segfault (unsigned package) For the full result matrix please see the test day wiki page [1].

X vt selection in F-13
by Orion Poplawski 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

So, how is the select of which VT X is to run on supposed to work in F-13? It appears that kdm can get it wrong, my guess is a race between kdm and mingetty startup. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577482 Do gdm specify which vt X is to run on? How? -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA/CoRA Division FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion(a)cora.nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.cora.nwra.com
