2009-05-07 - Fedora Test Day - Virtualization
by James Laska 06 May '09

06 May '09

Greetings folks, For those subscribed to fedora-virt-list, you may already have seen Mark McLoughlin's announcement [1] of this weeks Virtualization test day. Fedora 11 hosts a number of virtualization improvements, including: * Features/KVM PCI Device Assignment * Features/KVM and QEMU merge * Features/SVirt Mandatory Access Control * Features/VirtImprovedConsole * Features/VirtVNCAuth We plan to review+test the F11 features, as well as use this an opportunity to lay the ground work for future virtualization testing. Testing has been divided into several test areas which incorporate features as well as existing functionality (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-05-07_Virtualization#How_to_te…). During the next few days we plan to create additional test cases for the current test areas. I invite you to join #fedora-qa this Thursday, May 7 2009 to review the Fedora 11 Virtualization features [2] and help iron out integration issues. I'm expecting a good turn out this week from the virt developers, which means we could use strong representation from testers. While a live image will be available, testing against an installed F11/rawhide system is recommended. Stay tuned for more details at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-05-07_Virtualization. Thanks, James [1] http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-virt/2009-April/msg00287.html [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:F11_Virt_Features

Jigdo and the release day
by Bill Davidsen 06 May '09

06 May '09

I have here the beta ISO, the snapshot ISO, and the contents of /var/cache/yum which I run with cleanup off. When the final release day comes, is there a way I can tell jigdo to use that combination to reduce the network traffic and server load? RELATED: can I do some magic on /var/cache/yum to get the old install DVD to use the new stuff? My test with createrepo seemed to generate a local repo which worked for after the fact install and update, I'm just trying to avoid installing obsolete packages and blowing them away again, on a slow machine that really rots. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot

F11 Preview : everything OK but Virtualbox
by E.B. A. 06 May '09

06 May '09

Guys, everything works fine now (thanks to some of you) except for Virtualbox: - Skype works great, Audio and Webcam are working. I needed to do some tricks but the final result is good. - nVidia drivers are ok. - Compiz (in gnome) is impressive, fast and reliable. - openOffice, KDE ecc. work ok. I have to say that KDE is not really usable in my opinion, but most probably it's just me not used to it. - User admin, file admin etc is ok, for what I can tell. - I never had any serious problem. Somehow after I installed the nVidia drivers the reboot started to work and does not hang up anymore. My only problem is VirtualBox. Whenever I try to run a new virtual session, somehow, it just stop working. I installed the dkms but somehow it doesn't work. Still, I think it's because of something I do, I haven't really done any troubleshoot. Overall, I would definitely suggest to move to Fedora 11. Thanks, Enrico Accenti

how to get information out of koji with less pain?
by Robert P. J. Day 06 May '09

06 May '09

i'm currently trying to upgrade my kernel to the koji version to test the new video drivers, but after i've downloaded the koji kernel packages and try "yum localinstall", i'm told i'm missing the corresponding "kernel-firmware" package. so all i want to do is find the koji kernel-firmware package but the obvious tricks don't work. i would have thought that going to koji.fedoraproject.org and searching on "kernel-firmware" would do the trick but i get no hits. what's the proper way to just *find* a koji package given its name? thanks. rday p.s. what's the point of that search box anyway? if i type in "kernel", i get no hits. what's up with *that*? -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Can't stop log
by Bill Davidsen 06 May '09

06 May '09

After I booted my FC11 test system and did an update, I tried to shutdown and got this failure. I clicked system->shutdown->shutdown_button and the system hung. An investigation of the log shows that attached behavior. If I log out and click the shutdown button it works, so it seems to only happen when using the button while logged in. Running 'shutdown -h' as root also works. I assume that this is an SElinux behavior, before I BZ it, is it intentional? -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot Apr 29 09:39:13 fc11s1 ntpd[1350]: kernel time sync status change 0001 Apr 29 09:43:42 fc11s1 ntpd[1350]: synchronized to 69.10.36.4, stratum 2 Apr 29 09:43:48 fc11s1 yum: Updated: libgcc-4.4.0-3.i586 Apr 29 09:43:49 fc11s1 yum: Updated: kernel-headers-2.6.29.1-111.fc11.i586 Apr 29 09:43:50 fc11s1 yum: Updated: kernel-firmware-2.6.29.1-111.fc11.noarch Apr 29 09:43:51 fc11s1 init: Re-executing /sbin/init Apr 29 09:43:51 fc11s1 yum: Updated: glibc-2.9.90-22.i686 Apr 29 09:43:52 fc11s1 yum: Updated: libstdc++-4.4.0-3.i586 Apr 29 09:43:52 fc11s1 yum: Updated: 1:cups-libs-1.4-0.b2.15.fc11.i586 Apr 29 09:43:52 fc11s1 yum: Updated: libgomp-4.4.0-3.i586 Apr 29 09:43:52 fc11s1 yum: Updated: nash-6.0.83-1.fc11.i586 Apr 29 09:43:52 fc11s1 yum: Updated: grubby-6.0.83-1.fc11.i586 Apr 29 09:43:52 fc11s1 yum: Updated: 32:bind-libs-9.6.1-0.2.b1.fc11.i586 Apr 29 09:43:58 fc11s1 dbus: Reloaded configuration Apr 29 09:44:05 fc11s1 yum: Updated: 1:gdm-2.26.1-4.fc11.i586 Apr 29 09:44:15 fc11s1 yum: Updated: glibc-common-2.9.90-22.i586 Apr 29 09:44:15 fc11s1 yum: Updated: mkinitrd-6.0.83-1.fc11.i586 Apr 29 09:44:16 fc11s1 yum: Updated: glibc-headers-2.9.90-22.i586 Apr 29 09:44:37 fc11s1 yum: Installed: kernel-2.6.29.1-111.fc11.i586 Apr 29 09:44:37 fc11s1 yum: Updated: cpp-4.4.0-3.i586 Apr 29 09:44:38 fc11s1 yum: Updated: gupnp-0.12.7-1.fc11.i586 Apr 29 09:44:38 fc11s1 yum: Updated: xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-7.fc11.i586 Apr 29 09:44:38 fc11s1 yum: Updated: 1:gdm-user-switch-applet-2.26.1-4.fc11.i586 Apr 29 09:44:38 fc11s1 yum: Updated: 32:bind-utils-9.6.1-0.2.b1.fc11.i586 Apr 29 09:44:38 fc11s1 yum: Updated: libbdevid-python-6.0.83-1.fc11.i586 Apr 29 09:44:38 fc11s1 dbus: Reloaded configuration Apr 29 09:44:41 fc11s1 yum: Updated: 1:cups-1.4-0.b2.15.fc11.i586 Apr 29 09:44:41 fc11s1 yum: Updated: xorg-x11-drv-mga-1.4.10-1.fc11.i586 Apr 29 09:44:41 fc11s1 yum: Updated: upstart-0.3.9-24.fc11.i586 Apr 29 09:44:41 fc11s1 yum: Updated: nscd-2.9.90-22.i586 Apr 29 09:44:42 fc11s1 yum: Updated: glibc-devel-2.9.90-22.i586 Apr 29 09:44:42 fc11s1 yum: Updated: memtest86+-2.11-9.fc11.i586 Apr 29 09:44:43 fc11s1 yum: Updated: gcc-4.4.0-3.i586 Apr 29 09:46:39 fc11s1 init: tty4 main process (1443) killed by TERM signal Apr 29 09:46:39 fc11s1 init: tty5 main process (1444) killed by TERM signal Apr 29 09:46:39 fc11s1 init: tty2 main process (1454) killed by TERM signal Apr 29 09:46:39 fc11s1 init: tty3 main process (1467) killed by TERM signal Apr 29 09:46:39 fc11s1 init: tty6 main process (1468) killed by TERM signal Apr 29 09:46:39 fc11s1 init: rc0 main process (5306) killed by TERM signal Apr 29 09:46:39 fc11s1 gnome-session[1652]: WARNING: Unable to stop system: Not privileged for action: org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop no Apr 29 09:46:39 fc11s1 gnome-session[1652]: WARNING: Unable to stop system: Not privileged for action: org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop no Apr 29 09:46:39 fc11s1 gnome-session[1652]: WARNING: Unable to stop system: Not privileged for action: org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop no Apr 29 09:46:39 fc11s1 gnome-session[1652]: WARNING: Unable to stop system: Not privileged for action: org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop no Apr 29 09:46:39 fc11s1 gnome-session[1652]: WARNING: Unable to stop system: Not privileged for action: org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop no

I question SELinux as the root cause, because: 1. The problem has existed for a while with no AVC denial. 2. I ran in permissive mode, anyway, and still saw the bug. 3. The bug only happens sometimes, but SELinux would be all the time. In other words, I think SELinux is a new bug that should be fixed, and I think we still need to keep looking. I haven't done much testing in the last week, half because of the freeze making nothing new available to test. Now I've got a copy of the Preview DVD, so I'll crank it up again today or tomorrow and see what I see. I heartily encourage everyone else to do the same.

Problems with Flash Plugin

Soliciting Firefox bug-filing advice
by Christopher Beland 06 May '09

06 May '09

If you have any advice for someone reporting or triaging a Firefox bug (especially if you have experience doing so yourself), your input would be most welcome on the section I just created: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs_and_feature_requests#Firefox We also have the existing: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces#Obtaining_stack_traces_from_Fire… Feel free to edit the wiki pages directly. I thought, hey, there must be more general-access Firefox debugging advice. I did find the below pages, but they can be confusing if you use Fedora's package install method and not Firefox's own installer. I suppose they are also editable, so Fedora-specific content could be added to the Linux versions of appropriate pages. http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+hangs http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+crashes -B.
