Multibooting UX, how well it ought to work
by Chris Murphy 16 Aug '14

16 Aug '14

This is largely directed to the WG, as a request to clarify a part of the workstation product tech spec. It relates to a thread on the anaconda list regarding os-prober, and a thread on this list regarding release criteria, both of which are referenced below. I am cross posting to the server@ list as well, while they don't have a dual-boot requirement in their spec it stands to reason the ability to dual-boot Fedora Server/CentOS/RHEL version n and n+1 could come in handy when doing migrations while still having a fall back position. Perhaps replies should drop the other cross posting since the requirements for the two products are different? But I leave up to the person replying to decide. The WorkstationTechnical Spec says: "One aspect of storage configuration that will be needed is support for dual-boot setups (preserving preexisting Windows or OS X installations), since e.g. students may be required to run software on those platforms for their coursework." 1a. Does preserve preexisting include providing a working menu entry in the boot manager (e.g. in the GRUB menu)? 1b. Or is it sufficient to just preserve the installation data — meaning it's permissible for its bootability to be either non-obvious or broken? 2. If the answer to 1a. is yes, and 1b. is no, does this dual-boot requirement apply to both BIOS and UEFI? 3. If resources cannot meet the dual-boot requirement by ship time, should the installer inform the user that their previous installation will be preserved but may not be bootable? 4. Why is the preservation of an existing Linux OS, including a previous Fedora, not explicit in the spec? Should it be? The answers to the above will help determine the scope of QA testing in this area, and avoid lengthy debate during blocker meetings. Maybe it'll provide some kick in the pants for old bugs with unimplemented solutions. Or maybe it will make it clear that the UX in this area doesn't need improvement and therefore effort testing and developing can be better spent elsewhere. So in any case, clarification will be helpful.

php fopen
by Daniel Leveque 13 Aug '14

13 Aug '14

Hello, I am running FC20 86_64. I have websites (imported from a previous FC version) which call writing data to files, namely by opening the file with fopen Hereunder the simple code which is run: =================== $TEXT = fopen($fichier, "a"); fputs($TEXT,$page); fclose($TEXT); =================== I receive following notice: *Warning*: fopen(guestbook.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in */var/www/html/IAAM/guestbook/index.php* I have checked all permissions and they look OK I have added selinux lines like : httpd_can_network_connect on I have enabled some lines in php.ini like: allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include on A strange thing: the page containing fopen is called index.php; I cannot chown/chgrp/chmod it. If I force it, automatically after running the script, returns to the previous position. I have found hords of items quoting this issue, but could not find any sound answer. So far I had no such problem with previous FC OS Thank you for your help Daniel

[Test-Announce] 2014-08-13 @ 16:00 UTC ** F21 Blocker Review #6
by Petr Schindler 13 Aug '14

13 Aug '14

# F21 Blocker Review meeting #6 # Date: 2014-08-13 # Time: 16:00 UTC (12:00 EDT, 09:00 PDT) # Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net We've got another blocker meeting coming up this week. As of today there are 6 proposed blockers and 1 proposed FE for F21 Alpha. The full list can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/21/alpha/buglist We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate the Alpha Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F21 can be found on the wiki [0]. Product specific plans are still being solidified, but that should be sorted quickly.

# F21 Blocker Review meeting #5 # Date: 2014-08-06 # Time: 16:00 UTC (12:00 EDT, 09:00 PDT) # Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net It's that time of the week again - more blocker review goodness. With flock going on, I don't know if there will be enough people to have a meeting - but that's OK because as of today we only have a single proposed blocker and a single proposed FE. This meeting will likely be just for checking on the status of our accepted blockers and ensure that they're being worked on. If you want to take a look at the accepted blockers, the full list can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/21/alpha/buglist We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate the Alpha Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed.

rolekit: Return values from deploy()
by Stephen Gallagher 04 Aug '14

04 Aug '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Right now, the deploy() routines have an output signature of '' (meaning they return on success or throw a D-BUS error, but return no results). I think we probably need to change this to 'a{ss}' (so that we can return a dictionary of responses). My reasoning is that we may have Roles that we deploy for which we will want to have one-time-only attributes returned (such as an autogenerated password). It seems to me that the best place for this would be in the response to the deploy() operation. Do you concur? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlPfcJQACgkQeiVVYja6o6P8MQCgoAxq8eJCtMP7/k8L8HGQ99Lp gvIAniKN4LZpMwC33KtXGelzOhbKbPZd =C16h -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
