Fedup to 18 problem
by Steve Berg
Just tried using fedup to get a 17 system upgraded to 18. Went through
the fedup --network process, rebooted, let it boot to the System Upgrade
option in grub and it seemed to start doing it's thing. The fancy
graphic appeared with the progress bar so I walked away. Came back an
hour or so later expecting to be prompted to reboot but the screen was
the same. Switched to the Alt-F2 terminal and saw nothing but "#" signs
streaming to the screen.
Anyone know what causes that and how to fix?

kexec and fedora 18 x86_64 (64 bit)
by David Shwatrz
Hi,
Does fedora 18 x86_64 (64 bit) support kexec reboot with kexec-tools ?
or is it not supported for 64 bit, but only for 32 bit ?
I remember that in the past there was a time when only 32 bit kernels
were supported
on some fedora releases.
regards
DS

[Test-Announce] Call for Test Days for Fedora 19
by Martin Holec
Hi Fedora users, developers and friends!
It's time to start thinking about Test Days for Fedora 19.
For anyone who isn't aware, a Test Day is an event usually focused
around IRC for interaction and a Wiki page for instructions and results,
with the aim being to get a bunch of interested users and developers
together to test a specific feature or area of the distribution. You can
run a Test Day on just about anything for which it would be useful to do
some fairly focused testing in 'real time' with a group of testers; it
doesn't have to be code, for instance we often run Test Days for
l10n/i18n topics. For more information on Test Days, see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days .
Anyone who wants to can host their own Test Day, or you can request that
the QA group helps you out with organization, or any combination of the
two. To propose a Test Day, just file a ticket in QA trac - full details
are at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/Create . For
instructions on hosting a Test Day, see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/SOP_Test_Day_management .
You can see the schedule at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Fedora_19_test_days . There are many
slots open right now, with the earliest on 2013-03-28 and the latest
2013-06-20. Consider the development schedule, though, in deciding when
you want to run your Test Day - for some topics you may want to avoid
the time before the Alpha release or the time after the feature freeze
or the Final freeze.
We normally aim to schedule Test Days on Thursdays; however, if you want
to run a series of related Test Days, it's often a good idea to do
something like Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday of the same week (this is
how we usually run the X Test Week, for instance). If all the Thursday
slots fill up but more people want to run Test Days, we will open up
Tuesday slots as overflows. And finally, if you really want to run a
Test Day in a specific timeframe due to the development schedule, but
the Thursday slot for that week is full, we can add a slot on another
day. We're flexible! Just put in your ticket the date or timeframe you'd
like, and we'll figure it out from there.
If you don't want to run your own Test Day, but you are willing to help with another, feel free to join one or more of already accepted Test Days:
2013-03-14 KDE 4.10
2013-03-21 GNOME 3.8
2013-04-17 Power Management
2013-04-23 X Test Week (intel)
2013-04-24 X Test Week (nouveau)
2013-04-25 X Test Week (radeon)
2013-05-16 Network Manager [*]
And don't be afraid, there are lot of more slots available for your own Test Day!
[*] If you are planning to do another networking related Test Day, I'm willing to organize a Network Test Week, like I did for Fedora 18. Just create a regular Test Day ticket and state that you want to join Network Test Week.
If you have any questions about the Test Day process, please don't
hesitate to contact me or any member of the Fedora QA team on test(a)lists.fedoraproject.org or in #fedora-qa on IRC. Thanks!
Best Regards,
Martin Holec

requirements for cisco webex?
by Neal Becker
Anyone know if I can view cisco webex on f18 x86_64 natively? It doesn't seem
to work. I can view using a windows VM.
I'm wondering if maybe installing sun java is the key here?

at boot-time echoed kernel is older that started kernel
by antonio montagnani
It is not really important, but I realized that when I start the machine
with a kernel, the echoed line on the screen reports the previous kernel.
Any idea??
This is part of the grub configuration file where you can see that the
first menu entry reports a previous kernel in the echo line (but older
kernel seems o.k.):

Freeze failures with F18
by Bill Murray
Dear all,
F18 has been going well for me, but freezing my laptop stopped
working 3 days ago.
Looking at my logs, the only rpm change on the 10th of Feb was
installing ecj - I guess
it is unrelated. Anyway, from my first suspend on the 11th I got this:
Freezing of tasks failed after 20.01 seconds (1 tasks refusing to
freeze, wq_busy=0):

Suspend is REALLY useful....any ideas how to debug this?

What do you want to do? Wardrive around your neighborhood and then start knocking on doors?
You will probably get arrested as in many locals I believe that wardriving has been outlawed.
No I'm not a Wardriver, I just think the guy shouldn't be using a Unsecured AP, It leads to nothing but trouble down the road, when a hacker logs on to his open AP and starts hacking the Dept of Defence and the FBI shows up at his door one day and takes his computer and everything connected to it.
I do have some very good neighbours and hate to see one hauled off to jail for something he wasn't aware of.
An open access point isn’t such a issue.
Actually, I wouldn’t put my trust in the security measures provided by an A.P.: They are either too weak, or they are too costly in performance.
It is more controlling who is using it, which can be obtained by only allowing ipsec or openvpn through the A.P. to your own firewall.
Without the proper keys/certs, one only get an non-routable ip address. Big deal.
