F11 Beta Installer Error
by Joseph L. Casale
The Beta installer crashes just as it finishes installing the last package on my
system which appears to leave the system unbootable, the system hangs just before
you would expect a log in prompt. Is there an updated installer to perform a netinstall
that is newer than the installer on the beta dvd?
Thanks!

dependency resolving issues
by Rob Healey
Greetings:
I guess that I just do not understand how things work around here -- that
being, an open community problem?
To me, I would not submit something if all it did was have broken
dependencies or broke the software!!!
Having three packages have dependency resolution problems, doesn't sound too
professional to me!
Sincerely,
Rob G. Healey

re: slow nouveau driver on nvidia-FX5200 video card
by Gianluca Cecchi
I think it is normal/expected.
On my F10 x86_64 with GeForce 8400M GS and proprietary nvidia-180.29 I get:
[gcecchi@tekkafedora ~]$ glxgears
14000 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2799.907 FPS
11987 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2397.396 FPS
14403 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2880.521 FPS
12286 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2457.182 FPS
14760 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2951.932 FPS
On the same hardware with F11 beta x86_64 and
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.12-22.20090404git836d985.fc11.x86_64
I get
[gcecchi@tekkafedora ~]$ glxgears
1372 frames in 5.0 seconds = 274.253 FPS
1361 frames in 5.0 seconds = 271.914 FPS
1365 frames in 5.0 seconds = 272.681 FPS

Beta Install Issue
by Joseph L. Casale
I have a spare HD that was used in a hardware raid array. When
I have zeroed it, and created a type 83 partition on it but I
still can't get the installer to decide to use it as it feels its
part of a dmraid set.
How can I overcome this or better yet, write to the area on the hd
that the raid controller did to put the old outdated raid info on.
Thanks!

openchange error
by Gianluca Cecchi
trying to connect to Exchange 2003 server with evolution-mapi installed.
I get evolution dead when I confirm my domain account password, during
account setup:
this is the output running evolution from command line.
Any hint? On http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/OpenChange it
seems as completed 100% for f11.
Is it my fault/ particular setup of exchange (actually I have no
control over it.... but I can ask to the admins in case...)
NOTE: I changed real user / domain / exchange server hostname with
"myuser" "msdomain" "mshostname"
Thanks,
Gianluca

slow nouveau driver on nvidia-FX5200 video card
by Joachim Backes
I run glxgears in F10 with nvidia-173xx and in F11 Beta with the nouveau
driver and got the following results:
F10/nvidia-173xx:
=================
4475 frames in 5.0 seconds = 894.996 FPS
3974 frames in 5.0 seconds = 794.719 FPS
3771 frames in 5.0 seconds = 754.093 FPS
F11/nouveau
============
880 frames in 5.0 seconds = 175.875 FPS
879 frames in 5.0 seconds = 175.668 FPS
Somebody made similar experiences?

modprobe.d question
by Petrus de Calguarium
Recently, there have been loads of messages about the files in
modprobe.d requiring .conf.
Now, for the most part, this has been resolved. Nevertheless, I
notice that one such file remains on my system: blacklist-visor.
It is dated 2008, although I have F11beta/rawhide. The file
contains only the words 'blacklist visor'.
Has this file been obsoleted? Or will it be renamed with a .conf
at some future point? Should I leave it and ignore the error
messages, or can I delete it?

Testing the Fedora 11 Installation Guide
by Adam Williamson
Hi, folks!
Every release, the dedicated volunteers in the Documentation team
produce the Fedora Installation Guide, an exhaustive and detailed guide
to installing Fedora. For Fedora 11, they have asked us in the QA team
to co-ordinate 'testing' of the Installation Guide. By doing
installations following the instructions in the Installation Guide, we
can find issues in both the Guide and the installation process itself,
and thus improve both.
So, I have written up an installation guide 'Test Case' here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_installguide
As you can see, essentially what we'd like you to do is to take a look
at the Fedora 11 Installation Guide as it currently stands - it's at
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/ - and try installing either
Fedora 11 Beta or current Rawhide according to the instructions found in
the Installation Guide. Report any problems you find - any bugs in the
installer itself, or errors or missing information or bits where what's
written in the guide doesn't correspond to what you see in the actual
installer - to Bugzilla.
As this is a wide-ranging case which doesn't involve any particular
component or developer, we aren't running a Test Day for this, but
instead would like it to be an ongoing process throughout the rest of
the Fedora 11 release cycle. Please, if you have the spare time and
resources, try and take part in this testing! Please discuss any
questions, problems or issues as a reply to this thread. Thanks!

How are bugs prioritized?
by Ravindran, Balaji
Hi all,
out of curiosity a question.
How are bugs priotized in our fedora project? Is there a process involved.,
if so is there a documentation link? If there is no such process., do you
guys think we should have one., so that it would further streamline and aid
developement and future releases?
Thanks
