Announcing Fedora 8 Test 3 (7.92)!
by Jeremy Katz 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

Fedora 8 Test 3 is here! This is the last test release before the development freeze and a great time to test all those packages that you know and love. Test 3 is for beta users. This is the time when we must have full community participation. Without this participation both hardware and software functionality suffers. Fedora is a Linux-based operating system that showcases the latest in free and open source software. Fedora is always free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute. It is built by people across the globe who work together as a community: the Fedora Project. The Fedora Project is open and anyone is welcome to join. Up-to-date release notes for Fedora 8 Test 3 can be found at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes. == Changes from Fedora 8 Test 2 == * Online Desktop provides a desktop experience designed around online services. A preview of Online Desktop is provided via BigBoard, which is a optional sidebar in GNOME. * KDE 3.5.7 is available in the KDE Live image as well as the regular DVD. The KDE 4 (Beta) Development Environment is available in the repository. * Live installations are faster and require a smaller root filesystem. The file system layout has also changed somewhat. System files for the Live images are now under `LiveOS/`, and a new `README` file has been provided as a short introduction to the live image. * Package management now features much better performance via `yum` and friends. * The completely free and open source Java environment called Iced Tea is installed by default. Iced Tea is derived from OpenJDK, includes a browser plugin based on GCJ, and is available for both x86 and x86_64 architectures. GCJ is still the default on PPC architecture. * CodecBuddy is now included, and promotes free, superior quality, open formats to end users trying to play multimedia content under patent encumbered or proprietary formats. * Bluetooth devices and tools now have better graphical and system integration. * Laptop users benefit from the "quirks" features in HAL, including better suspend/resume and multimedia keyboard support. * There is now improved power management thanks to both a tickless kernel in `x86` and `x86_64` architectures, and a reduction in unnecessary processor wakeups via `powertop`. * Eclipse 3.3 (Europa), a new release of the great IDE and development platform, is available as part of this release. * The `pam_console` module has been removed in favor of access control via HAL, which modernizes the desktop. * NetworkManager 0.7 provides improved wireless network management support. It includes support for multiple devices and provides the capability of system-wide configuration, among many other enhancements. This transition may induce some regressions temporarily, and more testing and feedback is appreciated. * Secure remote management capability is now provided for Xen, KVM, and QEMU virtualization. * Transifex provides a web-based translation interface to allow users to contribute translation work for Fedora hosted projects as well as being able to provide translations to upstream directly to any upstream project. * Integration of unique build IDs into Fedora's software building infrastructure now provide enhanced debugging capabilities and core dumps. * Fedora now offers easier rebranding of Fedora derivatives via a `generic-logos` software package. Changes in Fedora's mirror structure also make creation of derivatives easier. * Fedora now includes support for Nepali Language, extending its reach to many more users. === What's New in Fedora 8 === * A major list of features is available at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/8/FeatureList. === Release Schedule for Fedora 8 === * The Fedora 8 release schedule can be found at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/8/Schedule. Fedora 8 is scheduled for general release on 8 November 2007. === How to Get Fedora 8 Test 3 === * Fedora 8 Test 3 can be installed via Live image, regular DVD, or via network installation. You can find the DVD images as well as the primary live images at: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/7.92/ * You can also download the DVD and Live images via bittorrent at: http://torrent.fedoraproject.org * More information on the various spins available with the release of Fedora 8 Test 3 is available at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F8Test3/Spins People who are already running the rawhide (development) branch of Fedora or any of the previous test releases can simply run `yum update`. (Some current Rawhide packages might be newer than Fedora 8 Test 3 packages.) We also appreciate new installation testing for feedback on changes to the Anaconda installer. == Known Issues == * [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=302381 Bug 302381] If you are installing via DVD or also possibly NFS-mounted ISO images, the Add/Remove Programs application (`pirut`) may crash when run, with a traceback about HAL. Running `yum update` or using `yum` to update at least `pirut` should resolve the issue. * [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=298991 Bug 298991] The KDE NetworkManager frontend `knetworkmanager`, a graphical interface for switching between networks easily, is currently broken. This is intended be fixed before Fedora 8 release. The KDE Live images have `nm-applet`, which works with KDE, enabled by default as a workaround. * Other Common issues can be found at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/F8Common. === Bug Reporting and tracking === You can follow the procedure outlined in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugsandFeatureRequests to report any bugs found in your testing. The Release Engineering and QA teams keep track of bugs that are considered release blockers. To see that list, visit: * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/showdependencytree.cgi?id=F8Blocker To see a list of additional non-blocker bugs that should hopefully be fixed for Fedora 8, visit: * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/showdependencytree.cgi?id=F8Target Please check these lists before reporting new bugs!

totem and totem-xine in f8?
by Gianluca Cecchi 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

Under gnome 2.20 release notes there is this about totem: Not all distributions like to install all multimedia codecs by default, due to the need to obtain patent licenses for some codecs in some countries. This means that applications can not always read every file format by default. But applications such as GNOME's video player, Totem, can now offer these new codecs to the user for installation. This is actually implemented by your distribution, which may make its own decisions about how to obtain the codecs. How is/will be implemented for f8? At the moment under livna development tree I can notice that there is only totem-xine 2.18.... Does this mean that in f8 we, european users, could finally avoid deinstalling totem from fedora and installing instead totem-xine from livna (or other alternative repos)? And how is backend for totem in f8? If gstreamer, was it fixed to support dvd navigation and play? Thanks for your answers, so that I know how to better test and feedback it Gianluca

SELinux is preventing /sbin/ip (ifconfig_t) "write" to pipe (unconfined_t).
by Antonio Olivares 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

Summary SELinux is preventing /sbin/ip (ifconfig_t) "write" to pipe (unconfined_t). Detailed Description SELinux denied access requested by /sbin/ip. It is not expected that this access is required by /sbin/ip and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385 Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package.
