KDE logout options with F8
by Stefan Grosse
Hi,
I installed F8 Test3 some time ago and since then I am on rawhide. I am using
KDE and ever since the installation I miss the shutdown and hibernation
options (buttons) in the KDE log out dialog. There is only the end current
session button which is leading me to back to the login screen from where I
then can do the shutdown. Of course the shell shutdown and kshutdown both
work as alternative.
I would really appreciate to get those buttons back. Is it because of the
rawhide packages or is there something messed up on my notebook? (What could
I do in the latter case?)
Furthermore I sometimes observe for some seconds the standard gnome gdm login
screen (the blue one with the yellow flower) appearing after I optioned for
shutdown at the infinity (kdm?) login - ...
Beside this I must say its really nice how everything works!
Regards
Stefan

How to generate videoaliases/foo.xinf for hwdata?
by Hans Ulrich Niedermann
Hi,
I guess that for proper integration of xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd into Fedora
the package should ship a /usr/share/hwdata/videoaliases/radeonhd.xinf file.
Is the xinf file format documented somewhere? Are there tools to create it?

The KDE-SIG needs (your) help
by Sebastian Vahl
This is a request for participation:
The KDE-SIG [1] is atm lacking active contributors. And we really need some
help in doing our job to provide a good KDE version in Fedora - especially
with the upcoming KDE 4.0 and the inclusion in Fedora 9.
If you don't know how you could help us here is a list (which is also in the
wiki):
* Packagers: There are so many interesting packages that are not yet packaged
for Fedora. Package it to improve the user experience.
* Reviewers: Only a few persons are doing the kde-related reviews. Help us
reviewing so that more packages could be included.
* Testers: If you love KDE use the development version or the updates-testing
repository and report bugs, bugs, bugs, request enhancements or features. We
need your feedback to improve KDE.
* Bugs: Become a BugZapper and help us with kde-related bugs.
* Documentation writers: The documentation (esp. the DesktopUserGuide) is
GNOME-centered. Help us to provide an equivalent for KDE.
* Release Notes: The few people that are working on the new KDE-Spin are quite
busy with development issues. If you want to help us in writing the release
notes for the next version of Fedora we would give you all the info you need.
* Wiki: Maintain http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KDE and keep it updated with
end user information.
* Artists: To provide a matching theme for nodoka-metacity-theme and provide
an unified desktop experience.
But this is not a complete list. If you're interested in making KDE in Fedora
better, you're more than welcome.
The list of participants in the wiki is atm not a list of active contributors.
When setting up the wiki the only demand was an interest in KDE to be listed
on this page. This list would be changed in the future to be culled down to
the list of active (or reactivated) participants. This has become necessarely
because there are only (less or more) 3 active contributors atm (plus Than
Ngo). But the list indicates that there are enough people helping with KDE.
If you are interested in joining the KDE-SIG please add your name to this
list, answer to this mail, join us in #fedora-kde at freenode or attend the
weekly KDE-SIG-Meetings (every tuesday 17:00 UTC). I will also add a topic to
the agenda of the meeting next week to introduce new contributors. [2]
The attendance at the SIG-Meetings is of course not required. But this way we
would know of each other. And they are also the main place of discussing the
next steps in the development (besides fedora-devel-list).
If you have any further questions please answer to this mail or write me
directly. And be sure: If your are willing to help you're welcome (regardless
of your skills). :)
Sebastian

Fluendo codecs in Fedora 8?
by Valent Turkovic
I followed instructions for installing fluendo mega codec pack and
copied all files to
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/ under Fedora 8 test 3 (with latest updates)
but whenever I try to open different video files I still get message
from Totem that I need to go to fluendo site and get codecs...
I then copied files also to ~/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins directory but
that doesn't help either...
Any ideas? Should I file a bug? Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you in advance.
Valent.

Fedora 8 blocker update - testers needed (still!)
by Will Woods
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!

On old hard drives pretty much anything can cause the disk to spin up
again. Sometimes querrying the hard drive status (are you suspended?)
is sufficient to wake it up (don't laugh)

Hiyas,
there are many pending Fedora 7 testing updates currently in Bodhi, when will
they be pushed to the testing repository? The oldest waiting updates seem to
be 7 days old now.
