Firefox channels (Nightly, Aurora and Beta) in F16
by Maciej Małecki
Hello everyone!
As it is my first mail to this list, let me briefly introduce myself:
I am Maciej Małecki, software developer based in Poznań, Poland. I've
been using Fedora since F11 (and I love it).
The point is: is there a chance to have Mozilla Aurora, Beta and
Nightly in F16 repositories? I think it would make life easier for
quite many people. Now installation process is to download .tar.gz
from Mozilla, unpack to /usr/lib64/firefox-7 (for Aurora) and create a
.desktop file in /usr/share/applications.
Mozilla guys discussed it here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600317, however most of
the links are outdated/404.

Greetings,

Buildroot broken? (iproute)
by Jerry James
I can't build for Rawhide today. Here's an example:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=3191106&name=root.log
Here's an excerpt:
DEBUG backend.py:739: ['/usr/bin/yum', '--installroot',
'/var/lib/mock/dist-f16-build-1097005-168601/root/', 'groupinstall',
'srpm-build']
DEBUG util.py:284: Executing command: ['/usr/bin/yum',
'--installroot', '/var/lib/mock/dist-f16-build-1097005-168601/root/',
'groupinstall', 'srpm-build']
DEBUG util.py:250: Ignored option -c (probably due to merging -yc != -y -c)
DEBUG util.py:250: Error: Package: iproute-2.6.39-1.fc16.x86_64 (build)
DEBUG util.py:250: Requires: libxtables.so.5()(64bit)
DEBUG util.py:250: You could try using --skip-broken to work around
the problem

The garbled display is really getting to be overwhelming and the symantic touchpad is not functional and this is been going on since Fedore 13 and Ubuntu 10.

Have you filled out a bug report for your issue? (Note that if you do, you
need to include details about which card you actually have, as what you
included doesn't provide that information. /var/log/Xorg.0.log will usually
have the required information as well as lspci -vvv .)
3D support is still spotty in Fedora, but it is mostly getting better. In the
meantime you could also look at using a proprietary driver from rpmfusion
and see if that works better for you.

Garbled display and touchpad configuration

Ok folks I know everyone is busy but it's time to actually sit down and write a driver for the ATI Radeon card used in a lot of laptops. This has been a topic/bug in the forums since 2008 without being resolved and the work-arounds aren't working.

I think I will have to figure out which modules are required for my laptop and remove the unused modules from being loaded at boot. Also when I'm using Firefox and hit a website with active content puff the desktop and display become garbled

Fedora 16 Schedule Reminders - Feature Submission and Feature Freeze.
by Robyn Bergeron
A few friendly reminders:
* The Feature Submission deadline for Fedora 16 is *tomorrow*, July 12.
The current process for submitting a feature for Fedora 16 can be seen
here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Policy
* Feature Freeze comes quickly after the Feature Submission deadline, on
July 26. Please note that at this point, Features should be
*substantially complete and in a testable state.* For more information
on the Feature Freeze policy, please read:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ReleaseEngineering/FeatureFreezePolicy
And finally.... for those of you interested in seeing how the Feature
List is shaping up for Fedora 16, it is up to date with the latest and
greatest approvals from today's FESCo meeting.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FeatureList
This is where I'm going to put on my Gentle Reminder Hat, and give
everyone a chance to go into their individual feature pages and update
their percentage complete, and update their "Last Updated" date, which I
will apply to the main FeatureList page. Your efforts here are
appreciated, and help a number of groups understand how close you are to
completion, or conversely, if you are at risk of not making deadlines.
If percentages don't start getting updated, and "last-updated" dates
aren't getting touched, I'll be reaching out to folks individually, but
I would prefer to see that people take the initiative and keep those
things up. Otherwise I have to get out the not-so-Gentle-Reminder-Hat,
and frankly, I don't look very good in that one.
Communication is the key here. If you believe you are *at risk* of not
making the Feature Freeze, please update your feature page accordingly.
The rest of the schedule, as always, can be seen here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/16/Schedule
Thanks!
-Robyn

Fedora 15 moving task (thread) off CPU
by Zach Wang
Hi,
I'm trying to move kernel threads off CPUs, but can't seem to do so in F15.
The kernel call used is sched_setaffinity, and it fails with message
"Invalid argument". Example threads include "cpuset" and "khelper", among
others. Yes, I have checked that these threads are not bounded to specific
CPUs. Any idea why? Are there any new restrictions w.r.t. moving kthreads in
F15? There were no problems in Redhat 6 or earlier.
Thank you.
