Announcing Fedora 8 Test 3 (7.92)!
by Jeremy Katz
Fedora 8 Test 3 is here! This is the last test release before the
development freeze and a great time to test all those packages that you
know and love. Test 3 is for beta users. This is the time when we must
have full community participation. Without this participation both
hardware and software functionality suffers.
Fedora is a Linux-based operating system that showcases the latest in
free and open source software. Fedora is always free for anyone to use,
modify, and distribute. It is built by people across the globe who work
together as a community: the Fedora Project. The Fedora Project is open
and anyone is welcome to join.
Up-to-date release notes for Fedora 8 Test 3 can be found at
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes.
== Changes from Fedora 8 Test 2 ==
* Online Desktop provides a desktop experience designed around online
services. A preview of Online Desktop is provided via BigBoard, which is
a optional sidebar in GNOME.
* KDE 3.5.7 is available in the KDE Live image as well as the regular
DVD. The KDE 4 (Beta) Development Environment is available in the
repository.
* Live installations are faster and require a smaller root filesystem.
The file system layout has also changed somewhat. System files for the
Live images are now under `LiveOS/`, and a new `README` file has been
provided as a short introduction to the live image.
* Package management now features much better performance via `yum` and
friends.
* The completely free and open source Java environment called Iced Tea
is installed by default. Iced Tea is derived from OpenJDK, includes a
browser plugin based on GCJ, and is available for both x86 and x86_64
architectures. GCJ is still the default on PPC architecture.
* CodecBuddy is now included, and promotes free, superior quality, open
formats to end users trying to play multimedia content under patent
encumbered or proprietary formats.
* Bluetooth devices and tools now have better graphical and system
integration.
* Laptop users benefit from the "quirks" features in HAL, including
better suspend/resume and multimedia keyboard support.
* There is now improved power management thanks to both a tickless
kernel in `x86` and `x86_64` architectures, and a reduction in
unnecessary processor wakeups via `powertop`.
* Eclipse 3.3 (Europa), a new release of the great IDE and development
platform, is available as part of this release.
* The `pam_console` module has been removed in favor of access control
via HAL, which modernizes the desktop.
* NetworkManager 0.7 provides improved wireless network management
support. It includes support for multiple devices and provides the
capability of system-wide configuration, among many other enhancements.
This transition may induce some regressions temporarily, and more
testing and feedback is appreciated.
* Secure remote management capability is now provided for Xen, KVM, and
QEMU virtualization.
* Transifex provides a web-based translation interface to allow users
to contribute translation work for Fedora hosted projects as well as
being able to provide translations to upstream directly to any upstream
project.
* Integration of unique build IDs into Fedora's software building
infrastructure now provide enhanced debugging capabilities and core
dumps.
* Fedora now offers easier rebranding of Fedora derivatives via a
`generic-logos` software package. Changes in Fedora's mirror structure
also make creation of derivatives easier.
* Fedora now includes support for Nepali Language, extending its reach
to many more users.
=== What's New in Fedora 8 ===
* A major list of features is available at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/8/FeatureList.
=== Release Schedule for Fedora 8 ===
* The Fedora 8 release schedule can be found at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/8/Schedule. Fedora 8 is scheduled
for general release on 8 November 2007.
=== How to Get Fedora 8 Test 3 ===
* Fedora 8 Test 3 can be installed via Live image, regular DVD, or via
network installation. You can find the DVD images as well as the
primary live images at:
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/7.92/
* You can also download the DVD and Live images via bittorrent at:
http://torrent.fedoraproject.org
* More information on the various spins available with the release of
Fedora 8 Test 3 is available at:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F8Test3/Spins
People who are already running the rawhide (development) branch of
Fedora or any of the previous test releases can simply run `yum update`.
(Some current Rawhide packages might be newer than Fedora 8 Test 3
packages.) We also appreciate new installation testing for feedback on
changes to the Anaconda installer.
== Known Issues ==
* [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=302381 Bug 302381] If
you are installing via DVD or also possibly NFS-mounted ISO images, the
Add/Remove Programs application (`pirut`) may crash when run, with a
traceback about HAL. Running `yum update` or using `yum` to update at
least `pirut` should resolve the issue.
* [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=298991 Bug 298991] The
KDE NetworkManager frontend `knetworkmanager`, a graphical interface for
switching between networks easily, is currently broken. This is intended
be fixed before Fedora 8 release. The KDE Live images have `nm-applet`,
which works with KDE, enabled by default as a workaround.
* Other Common issues can be found at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/F8Common.
=== Bug Reporting and tracking ===
You can follow the procedure outlined in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugsandFeatureRequests to report any bugs
found in your testing.
The Release Engineering and QA teams keep track of bugs that are
considered release blockers. To see that list, visit:
*
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/showdependencytree.cgi?id=F8Blocker
To see a list of additional non-blocker bugs that should hopefully be
fixed for Fedora 8, visit:

Please check these lists before reporting new bugs!

totem and totem-xine in f8?
by Gianluca Cecchi
Under gnome 2.20 release notes there is this about totem:
Not all distributions like to install all multimedia codecs by default, due
to the need to obtain patent licenses for some codecs in some countries.
This means that applications can not always read every file format by
default. But applications such as GNOME's video player, Totem, can now offer
these new codecs to the user for installation. This is actually implemented
by your distribution, which may make its own decisions about how to obtain
the codecs.
How is/will be implemented for f8? At the moment under livna development
tree I can notice that there is only totem-xine 2.18....
Does this mean that in f8 we, european users, could finally avoid
deinstalling totem from fedora and installing instead totem-xine from livna
(or other alternative repos)?
And how is backend for totem in f8? If gstreamer, was it fixed to support
dvd navigation and play?
Thanks for your answers, so that I know how to better test and feedback it

SELinux is preventing /sbin/ip (ifconfig_t) "write" to pipe (unconfined_t).
by Antonio Olivares
Summary
SELinux is preventing /sbin/ip (ifconfig_t)
"write" to pipe (unconfined_t).
Detailed Description
SELinux denied access requested by /sbin/ip. It is
not expected that this
access is required by /sbin/ip and this access may
signal an intrusion
attempt. It is also possible that the specific
version or configuration of
the application is causing it to require
additional access.
Allowing Access
You can generate a local policy module to allow
this access - see
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385
Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux
protection is not
recommended. Please file a
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi
against this package.

Summary
SELinux is preventing /sbin/consoletype
(consoletype_t) "write" to pipe
(unconfined_t).
Detailed Description
SELinux denied access requested by
/sbin/consoletype. It is not expected
that this access is required by /sbin/consoletype
and this access may signal
an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the
specific version or
configuration of the application is causing it to
require additional access.
Allowing Access
You can generate a local policy module to allow
this access - see
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385
Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux
protection is not
recommended. Please file a
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi
against this package.
