Recent update on Fedora 9 beta hosed my firefox plugins
by David Hunter
I think it was the installiation of mozilla-filesystem-1.9-2.fc9.i386 that
caused it, how can i get them back?
ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
gives:
libflashplayer.so libtotem-cone-plugin.so
libjavaplugin.so libtotem-cone-plugin.xpt
librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so libtotem-gmp-plugin.so
libswfdecmozilla.so libtotem-gmp-plugin.xpt
libtotem-basic-plugin.so libtotem-mully-plugin.so
libtotem-basic-plugin.xpt libtotem-mully-plugin.xpt
libtotem-complex-plugin.so libtotem-narrowspace-plugin.so
libtotem-complex-plugin.xpt libtotem-narrowspace-plugin.xpt
However, the about:plugins gives:
No plugins are installed Find more information about browser plugins at
mozilla.org <https://pfs.mozilla.org/plugins/>.
Help for installing plugins is available from plugindoc.mozdev.org.

Fedora Xfce SIG
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
If you are a fan of Xfce and want to help improve the Xfce experience in
Fedora, join the Xfce SIG (Special Interest Group) at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Xfce
Maintaining Xfce packages, translations, documentation, artwork and
improve the Fedora Xfce Spin (installable Live CD) are some of the
things you can do to help the Xfce team in Fedora.
Rahul

Xfce SIG?
by Kevin Fenzi
Greetings.
I'd like to do a bit of informal polling here and see if there is
enough interest in forming a Xfce SIG.
Right now, I maintain the Xfce packages and help with plugins,
Christoph Wickert maintains all the plugins and helps with the main
packages, and Rahul Sundaram maintains the Xfce spin.
Are there enough other people out there interested in Xfce to make
forming a SIG worthwhile?
I have been really busy of late and would love some help with a few of
the Xfce enhancement bugs at least:
433573 - RFE: add mixer and trash applett to the default panel config
(needs clean patch)
433838 - RFE: Fedora icon in desktop menu
(has a patch, but somehow is not working fully right).
Ideas, patches, suggestions are always welcome, but if there are enough
folks out there that want to contribute we can form up a SIG.
Feel free to email me directly or followup to this post to show your
interest.
Thanks,
kevin

F9 installation issues
by Gerry Reno
I've had a good number of problems when installing F9 in partitioning
scenarios that are more than just very simple one drive setups.
So I ran a series of tests today and put some results in a bug that I
have opened on these problems:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=443451
For example, I have yet to get anaconda/druid to properly install using
any type of RAID setup. Even a very simple, 2 drive setup fails.
I can get the software to install but anaconda cannot seem to install
the bootloader correctly so I either see GRUB or grub> after the Reboot.
And in more complex scenario like using LVM over RAID (which I use all
the time), anaconda gets a whole bunch of Unhandled Exceptions.
These things should be fixed before the F9 final release. F9 needs to
be able to handle all the RAIDed systems out there and right now it
won't be able to do that.

Apt autoupdates
by Suren Karapetyan
Hi there!
Yesterday I was playing with synaptic (so I installed apt, ...)
Today in the morning I received a message from fcron telling that apt
has successfully upgraded my PC to the latest rawhide (Before it I kept
old Xorg and Kernel to run Nvidia drivers: yum update --exclude...).
IIRC yum-updatesd isn't configured to update without asking so my
question is:
Is it desired for apt "CHECK_ONLY=no" in default /etc/sysconfig/apt.
Thanks

More Bugzilla maintenance coming soon to an installation near you!
by Jon Stanley
As mentioned previously in various announcements about the Bugzilla
actions that are being undertaken, we will begin phase 2 shortly.
Instructions on how to opt-out of these changes are below, as well as
links to wiki pages that contain precise information on when the
actions will begin, what actions are to be taken, and the queries used
to select bugs to act upon.
1) Close all bugs INSUFFICIENT_DATA that are still in NEEDINFO from
the "stale rawhide" cleanup
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp/RunTime#stalephase2).
Precautions are being taken to ensure that bugs had activity, however
were never taken out of NEEDINFO from the last round of actions are
not touched.
OPT-OUT: Changing the status to any other than NEEDINFO.will avoid
having the bugs touched,
2) Close all bugs in ANY state that are filed against an EOL version
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp/RunTime#eolphase2)
OPT-OUT: Changing the version to '8' or 'rawhide' will avoid us
making any changes to this bug.
Note that the following two actions are part of the BugZappers release
SOP, and are being undertaken independently of the activities above
(and will take place for every subsequent release to ensure that
Bugzilla remains in good working order and useful to all parties):
3) Rebase all rawhide bugs (except for those that are Package Reviews
or RFE's) to Fedora 9. Note that Bugzilla notification mail will be
suppressed for this change - i.e. no one will receive mail that this
has occurred except for this one. This is in direct response to
community feedback that we were spamming them with unnecessary
notifications. (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora9#frebase)
OPT-OUT: If this is an RFE, then add the FutureFeature keyword to the
bug, and no action will be taken on it.
4) Post a warning about the impending end-of-life of Fedora 7 in all
bugs filed against F7
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora9#f7warning).
Paul Frields recently mentioned this, this comment will merely act as
a reminder and final warning of this fact - nothing is changing. 30
days from the date of this running, all remaining bugs that are opened
against Fedora 7 will be CLOSED WONTFIX.
No opt-out really applies to this, however, if the bug still applies
to a later release, feel free to change the version to the later
release and the comment will not be changed
If you have many bugs to change as a result of these procedures, feel
free to drop by #fedora-qa and we will guide you through changing them
all at once.
Also note that we have conducted a thorough post-mortem investigation
of all the spam that was generated last time, and have identified and
repaired the problem. There will be only one notification per bug
this time around :).
Rest assured the BugZappers are are not doing this on their own and
this process has been carefully reviewed by the leadership of the
Fedora community. If you believe this process should be changed, like
all things in Fedora, feel free to propose patches to the existing
process or create a new proposal which can be evaluated and discussed
for the Fedora 10 release cycle.
For the BugZappers,
-Jon

Spin SIG - Document Drafts
by Jeroen van Meeuwen
Hi there,
it has taken me a while, but finally I've drafted up some documents for
review by the Spin SIG, and other related parties such as the Release
Engineering team, the current Spin maintainers, the (Advisory) Board, etc.
What we needed are the following:
1) Community Spin Guidelines - DOs and DONTs for Spin concepts that are
to be included in the Kickstart Pool.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Spins/CommunitySpinGuidelines
2) A Kickstart Pool - A collection of kickstarts that are to be
distributed to the general public using a package, and that are to be
used by Release Engineering as well as the Spin SIG to create, test and
release spins from.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Spins/KickstartPool
From what is in the livecd-tools package and source tree now, the Spin
SIG has distilled a new set of kickstarts, located at
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spin-kickstarts.git
3) A Spin Submission Process - Details on how you, or anyone else, can
get a spin concept into the Kickstart Pool, and how to advance from
there to get an approval stamp from the board, and how to get the Spin
included in the Release Cycle should that be in the Spin's scope.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Spins/SpinSubmissionProcess
4) Spin Distribution - A little something about possible distribution
methods for spins not included in the release, or spins targeted at only
part of our community (localized spins, for example).
Another document, regarding the access to the kickstart pool by the Spin
SIG as well as others (Release Engineering, Spin maintainers), and it's
branching and packaging policy will be drafted as soon as the above
takes shape.
Kind regards,
Jeroen van Meeuwen
