F8 blocker bug status report - testers needed!
by Will Woods 28 Oct '07

28 Oct '07

Hi folks, The QA team went through the F8Blocker bug list today. The good news is that a lot of the things that would have blocked the release are fixed - we're down under 20 blocker bugs (not including trackers). The current blocker list can be found here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=235703&hide_resolved=1 We need help testing and evaluating some of these bugs - some of them only affect certain hardware or less-common software configurations. We need to know how widespread the problems are in order to decide whether a given problem is actually worth delaying the release to fix. Please look through this list and see if there's anything you could help to test. In order by bug ID, here's a look at our current blocker bugs, with commentary: * Bug 208607: ASSIGNED - kernel-maint(a)redhat.com - mkinitrd: iSCSI root requires crc32c module iSCSI is a tricky beast. This didn't work right in F7 either, so it's not a new problem, just something we were planning to have fixed properly for F8. Instead we will probably end up building crc32c into the kernel so that iSCSI-root works properly. If you've got iSCSI hardware, it would be excellent if you could help us test installation (after we get this change in..). Adding yourself to the CC list for the bug would be a great idea. * Bug 242536: ASSIGNED - alan(a)redhat.com - [pata_via] Anaconda failed after formatting the / partition * Bug 242766: ASSIGNED - alan(a)redhat.com - [pata_via via82c596a] hard drive not found during install attempt If anyone has pata_via hardware, please speak up! We need to know how much impact these bugs will have, testing help, etc. * Bug 253892: ASSIGNED - vcrhonek(a)redhat.com - There is no usable romanian keymap for the linux console An earlier fix didn't work. It's unclear whether this actually prevents Romanian users from using their systems (which would make it a blocker) but the fix should be simple, so it stays for now. * Bug 264901: NEW - notting(a)redhat.com - oops, we have multiple sources of persistent network names active at the same time notting says that this is (more or less) fixed for things in the default install. We're trying to work out ways to test it. This may get dropped from the blocker list and fully fixed in F9-rawhide. * Bug 311511: NEEDINFO - dcbw(a)redhat.com - x86_64 iwl3945 NM crash after Keyring loop Deny A fix for this has been committed, we're waiting for the reporter to confirm. If you can confirm this fix, that would help. * Bug 323371: ASSIGNED - dcbw(a)redhat.com - NM 0.7 doesn't support WPA/WPA2 Enterprise (certificate-based authentication) This is also fixed, in theory, but the original reporter is having problems beyond WPA/WPA2 Enterprise. If you can confirm WPA or WPA2 Enterprise is working with current NetworkManager (NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.3.svn3016.fc8, in koji or tomorrow's rawhide) please comment on the bug. * Bug 330931: NEEDINFO - katzj(a)redhat.com - liveinst fails - sg devices confuse anaconda? This involves some interesting hardware - Dell PowerEdge 2650 - so if you have some of this hardware and can help test / debug, please grab a copy of the LiveCD and give it a shot. * Bug 335161: MODIFIED - triad(a)df.lth.se - multilib file conflicts in gnokii A fix for this has been committed and should show up in rawhide tomorrow. * Bug 338551: NEW - davej(a)redhat.com - kernel 2.6.23.1-23.fc8 does not boot anymore on SK8V Again, this is a bug with specific hardware - if you have an SK8V motherboard, we could use testing help. * Bug 345841: MODIFIED - dwalsh(a)redhat.com - SELinux denial from cron This should be fixed in today's rawhide, hopefully the reporter will retest and close the bug (COUGH COUGH JESSE COUGH SLACKER COUGH) * Bug 346471: NEW - lvm-team(a)redhat.com - F8T3 Live CD detects LVM groups inside RAID1, without using RAID1 This one is kind of nasty - LVM startup problems on the LiveCD can cause it to mess around with one mirror of a RAID1 set, which could lead to desynched mirrors and other badness. It's being investigated. * Bug 348931: MODIFIED - ehabkost(a)redhat.com - virt-install --nographics --paravirt is broken There's a fix for this in the kernel-xen-2.6 package in today's rawhide. If you're a xen user, testing and commenting on this bug would be much appreciated. A few more bugs have been added since the QA meeting - I'll comment about them in a status report later this week. Thanks for any help, and keep on testin', rawhiders! -w

7.92 DOA
by Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX 28 Oct '07

28 Oct '07

After returning from a month long overseas trip I updated my office machine which was running 7.91. It ceased to initialize. I downloaded and installed 7.92 x86_64 on an Intel DG33BU motherboard, Core Duo, and 7950gt pci-e video. Graphic install failed with the screen scrambled. Text install proceeded normally but did not detect any other operating systems including XP. Once loaded, Fedora fails the boot with repeated init[1] trap divide error rip:2aaaab563c44 rsp:7fff7c51eba0 error:0 I had to reinstall Ubuntu Studio 64 7.10 to get access to the machine. Ubuntu now detects most other operating systems and offers to put them in Grub. Summary: 7.92: no graphical install. Text install misses XP. Fedora init fails. Ubuntu Studio 64 7.10: Text install OK, systems runs fine. Sabayon Professional 1.1 live: boots and runs, motherboard ethernet not seen. -- Chuck Forsberg caf(a)omen.com www.omen.com 503-614-0430 Developer of Industrial ZMODEM(Tm) for Embedded Applications Omen Technology Inc "The High Reliability Software" 10255 NW Old Cornelius Pass Portland OR 97231 FAX 629-0665

notification-daemon not running
by Mads Villadsen 28 Oct '07

28 Oct '07

Recently (within the last week or so) I noticed that the notification-daemon was no longer running. This of course means that I don't get any nice notification bubbles from network manager, the update system or anything else. I can manually start notification-daemon and then everything works fine again. What package is responsible for starting notification-daemon? And I am the only one seeing this problem? -- Mads Villadsen <maxx(a)krakoa.dk>

Fedora 8 blocker update - testers needed (still!)
by Will Woods 28 Oct '07

28 Oct '07

As promised, here's an update on the current Fedora 8 Blocker list. As a note: the deadline for blocker fixes is Tuesday, October 29. If we still have unfixed critical bugs Tuesday, the release will have to be delayed. But I don't think that'll happen. Things are looking OK. We currently have 14 bugs on the blocker list, which I'll talk about in detail below. About half of them have fixes that are waiting for confirmation, and a couple of them could be dropped if necessary because they only affect particular, uncommon hardware. What we need help testing is: 1) ALSA - 1.0.15 was released last week, and we decided it was a low-risk update that would fix audio problems. for a lot of people. You probably saw mail from Chuck Ebbert about this already. 2) Intel wireless - John Linville, our fearless (and handsome) wireless maintainer, just added a fix for iwlwifi that should help some Intel wireless users. Both of the above patches are in kernel-2.6.23.1-37.fc8, which should land in rawhide tomorrow. You can get it from koji in the meantime: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=22511 3) dmraid, especially Intel See bug 349161 below. Something is causing mkinitrd to mess up the /init script, which leaves the reporter's system unbootable. We can't reproduce it at all. If you've got dmraid (aka BIOS RAID aka fakeraid) hardware, ESPECIALLY the one mentioned in this bug (ICH9R chipset + Intel Matrix Raid), please try to install rawhide and let us know if it works or not. Here's the full blocker list, in detail: === Miscellaneous bugs from last time === * Bug 208607: ASSIGNED - kernel maintainers - mkinitrd: iSCSI root requires crc32c module I believe we plan to fix this by building crc32c into the kernel for release (which would make this a non-blocker). We'll hopefully have a smarter fix for F9 that will actually close the bug. * Bug 242766: ASSIGNED - alan - [pata_via via82c596a] hard drive not found during install attempt All testing with pata_via seems to indicate that it works for most people. Alan's debugging efforts indicate that this is a drive-specific failure on a machine with a buggy BIOS. Fun. This will be dropped from the blocker list, since it works under normal circumstances. (By the way- thanks to everyone who answered the call for testing here. You guys rock!) * Bug 335161: ASSIGNED - triad (Linus Walleij) - multilib file conflicts in gnokii Fix was incomplete, needs a rebuild. This prevents people from being able to yum upgrade from F8Test3 to F8 final. * Bug 330931: MODIFIED - katzj - liveinst fails - sg devices confuse anaconda? This was waiting on some info from the reporter, which has been provided. It involves some uncommon hardware so this bug may be dropped from the blocker list if it can't be fixed easily. === NetworkManager bugs === * Bug 311511: NEW - dcbw - x86_64 iwl3945 NM crash after Keyring loop Deny Comments indicate that the crash is fixed, but it still loops on bad passwords. * Bug 323371: NEEDINFO - dcbw - NM 0.7 doesn't support WPA/WPA2 Enterprise (certificate-based authentication) Reporter seems to indicate that this is mostly fixed, but some testing on a fresh install is needed to confirm the fix. * Bug 353091: MODIFIED - dcbw - NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.3.svn3020.fc8 crashes when trying to switch to wireless Network nm-applet crasher. A fix will be in the next build, and then this can be retested and (hopefully) closed. === Added since Wednesday === * Bug 349161: NEW - pjones - Missing entries in the init script of the initrd image makes the system unbootable on dmraid This is a mysterious one. mkinitrd is creating a bad /init script for a dmraid (aka fakeraid, aka BIOS RAID) raid0 set. But we can't reproduce it on any of the dmraid machines we've tried. It's a fixable problem, and I don't think the hardware is very common, and we can't reproduce the bug ourselves, so.. if push comes to shove this bug might get dropped from the blocker list and fixed post-F8. * Bug 352511: MODIFIED - dwalsh - return of an avc on useradd with livecd user Should be fixed in selinux-policy -33 - we'll confirm as soon as Jeremy makes some Live images. * Bug 353571: MODIFIED - dwalsh - /usr/bin/crontab blocked by selinux Apparently fixed in selinux-policy-3.0.8-36; waiting for confirmation from the reporter. * Bug 353961: NEW - twoerner - lokkit doesn't write iptables config with --nostart This was reported earlier this morning - no response from the maintainer yet. Technically I don't think this breaks any of the ReleaseCriteria, so it could be dropped. But proper firewall function is important for security so we want to keep an eye on this. * Bug 354531: ASSIGNED - dwmw2 - script failure This is a simple scriptlet problem with bluez-utils, but it keeps the 'bluetooth' service from being installed properly. Improved Bluetooth support is one of the major features of F8, so we want this to work right. The maintainer is aware of the problem and working to fix it. * Bug 354571: MODIFIED - anaconda maintainers - live install fails when there's a pre-existing install Fixed in anaconda CVS - the next set of Live images should allow us to retest and close this. * Bug 354781: NEW - skvidal - yum-skip-broken changes yum's dependency solver even when it's not active This is a bug with the popular yum-skip-broken plugin that could cause it to make upgrades from F7 fail. Upgrade failures are bad. And there you have it. Most of those bugs already have fixes pending, and none of the rest are hair-on-fire critical bugs, so I think we're in good shape. If you can help test the stuff I mentioned above, or you have found some huge problem that we've missed, please let us know. Thanks for helping make Fedora more awesome! -w

update stalls/hangs with no errors
by Jason 28 Oct '07

28 Oct '07

Installed rawhide-dvd-20071024-i386 with no problems, ran an update fine, trying to install a couple packages now and it is stalling at the apparent end of 'downloading packages'. I ended up running 'yum update' from a terminal to see if I received any errors since none appeared during the gui attempts. I updated everything from the terminal 'yum update' and then installed a couple packages from 'add/remove software' to see if that was working, it did work and asked me to import a gpg key which I did and the install went fine. I didn't see anything in the list or bugzilla about this so I am thinking just an aberration? Top didn't show any run away processes, logs didn't show anything. smolt profile: http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=6e9b9854-4c02-4972-b646-4dae354793… -Jason

To a completed dvd rawhide downloader -
by Development discussions related to Fedora 28 Oct '07

28 Oct '07

I was wondering if someone could run iso-info on the downloaded dvd, and email the results either to myself or in reply to this message, as follows: iso-info -q -l -i /home/old/8/rawhide-dvd-20071024-i386.iso >rawhide-dvd-20071024-i386.iso-info.txt {from libcdio} similar for ppc and _64 if you dl'ed that. Thanks in advance {this is a re-request of an earlier msg that might have been missed}. David Timms.

Fwd: dell Inspiron 6400 sleep quirks not recognized
by Fulko Hew 28 Oct '07

28 Oct '07

I submitted this email to the hal(a)lists.freedesktop.org group yesterday, but I figure I'd send it to the Fedora list too... ----------------------------- I decided to play with sleep and suspend on my Dell Inspiron 6400... Most things work, but during recovery from sleep, the screen was still dark/blank. So following the instructions on the quirk site, I tried: lshal | grep system.hardware and I get: [root@localhost log]# lshal | grep system.hardware system.hardware.primary_video.product = 10146 (0x27a2) (int) system.hardware.primary_video.vendor = 32902 (0x8086) (int) system.hardware.product = 'MM061' (string) system.hardware.serial = '28W6RB1' (string) system.hardware.uuid = '44454C4C-3800-1057-8036-B2C04F524231' (string) system.hardware.vendor = 'Dell Inc.' (string) So when looking in /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-dell.fdi I see that the section for <match key="system.hardware.product" contains="MM061"> is contained within a section: <match key="system.hardware.product" prefix="Inspiron"> But as you can see my reported system.hardware.product line doesn't contain "Inspiron', let alone as a prefix! so I created and tested a section, duplicating the existing quirks except without the prefix="Inspiron", and the quirks are now recognized when I do: lshal | grep quirk and when I test 'sleep' on the laptop it now works! :-) (... well iwl3945 doesn't wake up, but everything else works now...) So... it seems that some Dell Inspiron 6400's may be reported as 'Inspiron MM061' and others are called simply 'MM061' Given my minimal knowledge of the syntax of the quirks file and HAL software, I decided to post this message rather than simply submit a git change. ... Is there a better way to handle this issue given the syntax of the quirks file without having to resort to two 'replicated' sections, or should the MM061 quirk simply be moved from within its prefix='Inspiron' qualifier? Comments? TIA Fulko
