No print setup in Xfce desktop!!
by Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX
A fedora desktop that can't configure printing? That would seem to be a
major blocker.

Proposal to CANCEL: 2014-11-17 Fedora QA Meeting
by Tim Flink
The usual suspects for leading the QA meeting are going to be out at
meeting time tomorrow and I'm not up to date enough with the possible
topics to put together a good agenda, so I propose that we cancel the
QA meeting tomorrow.
Of course, if there are topics that need discussion, I'm happy to
facilitate or if someone else wants to lead the meeting, that also
works. However, if there are no replies to this email saying otherwise,
consider the QA meeting canceled.

Netinstall iso for beta?
by Robert Moskowitz
I seem to recall that there was a netinst iso, at least at some point?
I only now have the time for testing, and I don't see it on:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_21_Final_TC2_Installat...
I have downloaded the live iso and will start with that tomorrow. What I
want to test is the nvram install blocker I hit with F20. I might be
able to find some of the various attempts I was told to try including
with the F20 live iso, but I would like to try it out flat that either
now the nvram write on install works on my Lenovo, or the install
continues instead of dying....

Building local mirror for Fedora 21 x86 testing
by Robert Moskowitz
I maintain local mirrors for the actgive versions I use here via rsync.
But now it is past time for me to test F21 x86 on a notebook I have
assigned to this task (a Lenovo x120e with a clean SSD). Where do I get
the OS and updates? If I pull them down, and build an dvd of the iso
netinstall, I am expecting to be able to point to both the local OS and
updates? I did a quick browse where I am currently getting my F20
updates (and got the OS) and I see the following directories:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/development/21/x86_64/os/
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/updates/21/x86_64/
I am expecting that the OS directory is for TC2, and the Updates are any
fixes since its release. Is this correct? I want to run the rsyncs
today, so I can start the testing tomorrow (along with the armv7 testing).
thank you.

Re: F21 Installation Issues - Installation destination partitioning
by Bidski
After shifting the partitions on my HDD up by about 200 MiB and then
using gdisk to convert the disk to GPT (did it this way to try and
preserve the existing Windows partitions), the Fedora installer now
only recognises my HDD as a multipath device.
I actually have two SATA HDDs, both are the same as what I posted
previously. One of them turned out to be GPT the other MBR (so maybe
Windows just decided to convert the wrong drive to GPT originally?).
Before I did the conversion described above, both HDDs were recognised
as local disks by the installer, now both are recognised as multipath
devices.
I tried the install on the multipath device anyway and it seemed to
work, But upon booting into the installation it failed critically and
dumped me into the emergency console. It looked as though it failed to
find any HDDs at all when trying to boot.
I will see if I can generate some screenshots or something and post
them soon.
I also looked at the F21 Common Bugs page on the wiki. There is a
section there talking about multipath device issue. I created edited
the /etc/multipath.conf file to have the contents specified but the
installer still treats all devices as multipaths.
Any suggestions here? Should I just try wiping the HDD and starting
again (ensuring that Windows properly formats the correct HDD this
time?)

I recall something like this... had to zero the MBR before Windows
would
create a GPT. Old version of Windows, though, and I am no Windows
expert.

KMS not working with nVidia, no Nouveau and a bad resolution in GNOME
by Ville-Pekka Vainio
Hi,
I've already filed a bug
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1164351> but thought I'd
let the list know as well.
I have this graphics card:
NVIDIA Corporation GK104 [GeForce GTX 660 Ti] (rev a1)
With kernel-3.17.2-300.fc21.x86_64 KMS does not work. During the
'console phase' of the boot the display turns itself off completely and
in GNOME I only get a resolution of 800x600 with the VESA driver.
I'm now using the fedora-rawhide-kernel-nodebug repo and the 3.18
kernels seem to work better. I can still make the system halt by using
Google Maps in Firefox but other than that it seems to work fine.
Upgrading to F21 Beta with fedup was quite an experience since I got no
picture at all. Luckily I still have an old spinning HDD so I could
actually hear the system doing the upgrade...

fedup with sddm installed
by Ed Greshko
I'm running an F20/KDE VM with sddm-0.10.0-2.fc20 installed from updates-testing.
In trying to do a
fedup --network 21 --product=nonproduct
I get....
WARNING: potential problems with upgrade
sddm-0.10.0-2.fc20.x86_64 (no replacement) requires libxcb-1.9.1-3.fc20.x86_64 (replaced by libxcb-1.11-2.fc21.x86_64)
Should this be reported against fedup or something else?
