Desktop spin Beta RC3 validation passes provisionally
by Adam Williamson 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

Quick note - per my testing, Beta RC3 desktop spin passes the validation testing for Beta, except for one issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=542255 I recommend we except this one for Beta; it's a long-standing issue in gmixer for which there's unlikely to be a quick fix, and it doesn't massively affect the functionality of the spin. I think it ought to be fixed for Final though, either by actually fixing the bug in gmixer or by adopting another mixer applet (perhaps Xfce's?) Great job, especially thanks to Christoph for the fast fixes for Beta blocker issues even though he was busy with FUDCon :) testing from others to confirm is still welcome! I'm not always right =) -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

F14 Beta RC3 images available for validation testing!
by Adam Williamson 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

Hi, everyone. Fedora 14 Beta RC3 images - that's the third (and hopefully final) release candidate for F14 Beta - are now available for testing here: http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/14-Beta.RC3/ aside from anaconda fixes, the backgrounds are now present in LXDE and XFCE, and LXDE initializes ConsoleKit correctly, fixing several major issues. I've tested that each of these boots to a desktop successfully, so they're not DOA, you won't be wasting your time to download them. Please, if you have some time, help fill out the test matrix here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_14_Beta_RC3_Desktop just click on a test name, follow the steps, and enter your result in the table (there's a key explaining how to put the results in the table). Even if someone else has done a test, you can add your result: the table will handle this and we can have more confidence with many results than with one. Even if you can only do one or two tests, it's useful! We have to have the table filled out (at least with the Alpha and Beta tests) to go ahead and release the Beta. The go/no-go meeting is on Wednesday afternoon US time, so results need to be in by then for the Beta. Thanks a lot, everyone! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

Fedora 14 Beta RC2 (inc. live) available for desktop testing
by Adam Williamson 19 Sep '10

19 Sep '10

Hey, everyone. So, it's time for pre-release testing again! I know this didn't work perfectly for Alpha, but I've got together with releng and tightened up processes and it should be better for Beta. So: right now, here: http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/14-Beta.RC2/Live/ you will find live images for all of the desktop spins (KDE, XFCE, LXDE, Desktop) for RC2 of Fedora 14 Beta. I have tested them, and all four at least boot in a VM, so they're not completely broken like some of the Alpha images :) I also tested KDE and Desktop on bare metal, and I think Christoph has LXDE booted on bare metal right now, so we're pretty sure these are working at a basic level. You won't be wasting a download :) So with these spins we need to fill out these tables: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test As you can see, I've made a start on this already, but there's many tests to fill out. We absolutely need to fill out all the Alpha and Beta tests for each spin. It would be great to also do the Final tests, as this gives us a head start on identifying and fixing blocker issues for the final release. If people could do some of these tests over the next few days (by Wednesday) that would be awesome. Also note that I'm running a session at FUDCon Zurich this afternoon where we'll hopefully be able to get together and fill out some of the table, so if you're at FUDCon, come out to my session at 2pm :) -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net
