is Fedora 12 alpha for x86_64 burnable and usable?
by Robert P. J. Day
i downloaded Fedora-12-Alpha-x86_64-DVD.iso, it seems to be fine,
"isovfy" looks good, the sha256sum checksum matches, it's "-o loop"
mountable, but i've tried twice to use k3b to burn it to DVD and the
result is a DVD that *visually* looks like it's had something burned
to it but two different machines claim that the DVD is blank and
refuse to mount it.
i've never had this difficulty before with downloading and burning
fedora DVDs. thoughts?
rday
p.s. not surprisingly, i can't boot from a "burned" DVD since it
simply appears blank.
p.p.s. for the first time, i'm using a different brand of DVD --
imation DVD+R. i hesitate to blame the media but ... who knows?

Rawhide? Are we in freeze or what?
by G.Wolfe Woodbury
There has been now rawhide for several days, and the current images
won't install on my older i686(Radeon r100/7200/QD) box.
Where can we track rawhide status?

2009-10-01 - Anaconda Storage Rewrite Test Day report
by James Laska
Greetings folks,
Many thanks to all who participated in the anaconda test day hosted last
Thursday [1]. A decent range of storage scenarios were tested,
including various combinations of LVM, RAID and encryption, iSCSI, USB
and PowerPC. We had a few new faces helping shake out bugs. Special
thanks to Alexey Torkhov who wrestled through some live image issues and
gets the prize for most reported issues for the event.
526699 NEW - CryptoError: luks_format failed for '/dev/mapper/VolGroup-LogVol00'
526782 NEW - setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing /bin/loadkeys access to a leaked /dev/mapper/control file descriptor.
526789 NEW - Install didn't reboot at the end
526899 NEW - Encrypted partitions has "Unknown" type in table and ext4 in editor
526975 NEW - AttributeError: 'LVMPhysicalVolume' object has no attribute 'mapName'
527091 NEW - Installer causes a number of popups when creating filesystems
526906 NEW - Switching encryption on and off creates more and more luks devices
525615 NEW - system can not automatically reboot after exit installer -f12 beta TC
526822 ASSIGNED - Installer didn't install boot loader if /boot is on mdraid1
526842 ASSIGNED - Firstboot not run after installation
526778 CLOSED NOTABUG - Some installation screens has no text on live cd
526898 CLOSED NOTABUG - Doesn't allow to edit LVM PV to set encryption
502310 CLOSED RAWHIDE - Editing partitions without providing a passphrase for previously encrypted partitions fails - IndexError: list index out of range
523862 CLOSED RAWHIDE - mdadm craps at boot
Dmraid is an area still in need of additional focus. If you have dmraid
capable hardware, I invite you to join the RAID test day, this Thursday
Oct 8 [2].
Thanks,
James

Please test new PackageKit...
by Richard Hughes
Hello friendly testers,
When you have a few minutes spare, could you please test
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1727776 -- I intend
to tag this build for F12 in the next couple of days. It fixes the
following problems:
* #526600, Fix double free in pk-gstreamer-install which causes a crash.
* #527044, Exit pk-command-not-found with 127 when we have not run a program.
* Fix crash in notification daemon under some conditions due to
non-resident GTK module
* Don't explicitly download the file lists when using pk-command-not-found
If you could please test the package, and report any regressions you
notice compared to the PackageKit-debug-install-0.5.3-0.1.20090928git
package which is already in rawhide.
Thanks,
Richard.

invisible icons in panel
by Chuck Anderson
I tested desktop-x86_64-20091002.15.iso and the icons for
gnome-volume-control-applet, nm-applet, gnome-power-manger, and
bluetooth are invisible in the panel. You can mouse over the area
where they should be and see their tooltips, click on them and use
them, but they icons themselves are missing/invisible.
