Official Launch of the Fedora BugZappers Triage Team
by Jack Aboutboul 21 Sep '26

21 Sep '26

Want to help out with the Fedora Project, but can't code a lick? Well fear not my dear friends. There are many ways you can help the cause and today I am pleased to announce a brand new way you can help contribute. Join the Fedora BugZappers! Who are the BugZappers? The BugZappers, (http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers) are the official triage team of the Fedora Project. The main goal of the team is to triage, or do a first pass, of bugs in Bugzilla and ensure that a number of parameters are satisfactorily met. Basically what that means is that the BugZappers will go through bugs as they come in and try and make sure the bugs are valid (i.e. not a duplicate), sane and contain enough information to be escalated to developers. If you have ever reported a bug and wondered why it took so long to get fixed, well then BugZappers is the right project to join. Tell Me More! The BugZappers aim to be the primary line of defense for Fedora Quality Assurance (QA). The BugZappers will begin running Bug Day events, every alternating week, usually on Wednesdays. Bug Day events are when the team gets together to concentrate our focus on certain subsections of the project which need work. Triage should continue on though, and remember kids, "Every day should be a Bug Day!" So, if you are tired of hearing complaints about things not working, pieces being broken or just plain want to help Fedora be the best dang Fedora it can be, then join the BugZappers team and help the developers make the most of their coding time. It's fun, it's easy, you don't need much experience to start and we are willing to show you the path of the righteous, should you choose to accept this mission. What's in it for me? Glad you asked. First of all there is candy. OK, so there is no candy, but there is free stuff. The team is working on some giveaways and run contests during Bug Day events. You also get to work on triaging things that annoy you first, so your problems get fixed sooner; kernel problems anyone? Also, a wise man once said, much fame and fortune come to he who close many bugs. OK, it really wasn't a wise man buy you get the point. How Do I Join? Step 1: Sign up for the mailing list at: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-triage-list Step 2: Join us on IRC We live in #fedora-bugs on Freenode Step 3: Read/Modify/Enhance the wiki Our wiki is located at http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers . Additionally, we have more information available on the wiki at: http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugsReports and http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs . More content will be added as we get the project off the ground and moving. Also, be sure to look for our announcement of the first Bug Day event coming soon to an Inbox near you! Thanks, Jack

For users whose home directories were on this server, these users could not start firefox, thunderbird, openoffice, many KDE apps, etc and I couldn't run this test script no matter which of the 35+ other RHEL4 and RHEL5 NFS clients I tried : #!/bin/sh ( flock -x 200 uname -a >> allHosts.txt ) 200>> lockFile It would just hang. Eventually we had to reboot the NFS server, re-starting NFS didn't help, and I don't think there is anyway to re-start [lockd] since it's a kernel level process. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 448758] New: Grub sometimes does not detect entire memory map
by Red Hat Bugzilla 12 Jan '09

Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug report. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448758 Summary: Grub sometimes does not detect entire memory map Product: Fedora Version: 8 Platform: x86_64 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: grub AssignedTo: pjones(a)redhat.com ReportedBy: dustin.henning(a)prd-inc.com QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: amyagi@gmail.com,dustin.henning@prd- inc.com,eric.moret(a)gmail.com,fedora-triage- list@redhat.com,jm@ish.de,mishu@piatafinanciara.ro,natha n.robertson@gmail.com,rjones@redhat.com,sputhenp@redhat. com,tru(a)pasteur.fr +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #250299 +++ Description of problem: Sometimes, grub does not recognize the entire e820 memory map, when the map is not provided by the BIOS in the multiboot information data structure. Ultimately, this appears to be an over-optimization by the compiler when building grub, in combination with buggy BIOS. The result is that some downstream kernels (in my particular case, the Xen kernel) does not recognize all the memory available on a system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grub-0.97-13 How reproducible: >From the lack of discussion on the Fedora and Xen mailing lists, I presume this problem is rare in the real world, and may be hard to reproduce. The machine this happens on for me is has two Dual-Core AMD Opteron 2210 w/16GB of memory, using an American Megatrends BIOS. Upon boot on an unpatched grub, Xen only recognizes slightly less than 4GB. The Multiboot information data structure has flag for the mem_lower/mem_upper fields set (and Xen memory detection matches the values in these fields), and does not have the flag for memory map set.

Only 2,9GB of my 6GB RAM was recognized. Non-xen 64bit and 32bit PAE-kernels saw the memory correctly. After patching grub with this patch and reinstalling grub (not just the rpm -- grub has to be reinstalled from grub prompt) all memory was recognized correctly. -- Additional comment from dustin.henning(a)prd-inc.com on 2007-10-23 13:14 EST -- I too experienced this issue. The system in question was a Core 2 Quad E6600 with 8GiB on an Intel P965 Express chipset. Like the original reporter, this system also utilizes an AMIBIOS. In my case, only 3.2GiB was recognized prior to the patch, and the base (SMP) kernel did not recognize the ful amount of memory until I added mem=10G to the kernel arguments. Once the base (SMP) kernel was booted detecting 7.8GiB, the problem did not reoccur when the kernel argument was removed. Said kernel argument (and derivatives) had no effect on the xen kernels when placed after either/both kernel lines (xen.gz and module vmlinuz). -- Additional comment from nathan.robertson(a)gmail.com on 2008-02-07 09:49 EST -- I too an experiencing this issue on an AMD64 machine with 8GBs of memory.

Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
