2010-03-30 (Tuesday) - SSSD By Default Test Day
by James Laska 28 Mar '10

28 Mar '10

Greetings, As Fedora 13 marches towards a Beta, there are several Test Days planned to help bring focused testing on upcoming features. The first, scheduled for this Tuesday, March 30 2010, will focus on enabling SSSD by default [1]. For those unfamiliar with SSSD, it's primary function is to provide access to remote identity and authentication resources (think LDAP and kerberos) through a common framework. A primary benefit is support for offline caching of user credentials. So, why should you care? * For starters, with offline caching, you no longer need a local user account if you have a remote authentication service (often the case when using remote identity/auth on laptops). * Additionally, if you use remote authentication, it will be managed by SSSD now [2]. So you'll want to take the live image for a spin in your environment. * Lastly, the new and improved system-config-authentication (aka authconfig) is used for configuring local and remote identity/authentication. So regardless of your setup, now is a good time to make sure it works for you. While testing in your own environment is desired, LDAP and Kerberos servers are available to aid Test Day participants. As always, test cases with clear step-by-step testing instructions will be available on the Test Day page [1]. Also, live images will be provided to allow for non-destructive testing on your system. The Test Day runs all *Tuesday* in #fedora-test-day on Freenode IRC. Hope to see you there! Thanks, James [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-03-30_SSSDByDefault [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SSSDByDefault

F-13 Beta Blocker Meeting 2010-03-26 @ 16:00 UTC (12 PM EDT)
by Adam Williamson 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

When: Friday, 2010-03-26 @ 16:00 UTC (12 PM EDT) Where: #fedora-bugzappers on irc.freenode.net It's that time again: blocker bug review meeting time! Tomorrow is the first blocker bug review meeting for Fedora 13 Beta. Here are the current bugs listed as blocking the Beta release. We'll be discussing all of these: 574743 NEW anaconda NameError: global name 'request' is not defined 575882 NEW xorg-x11-drv-ati shortly after logging in Displays shutoff 569377 ASSIGNED anaconda CDROM install unable to eject disc - storage: error ejecting cdrom sr0: (5, 'Input/output error') 567346 ASSIGNED gnome-packagekit gpk-update-viewer does not install updates if there is any dependency issue, and does not correctly report this 574587 MODIFIED anaconda Failure to install on Intel Matrix RAID box when raid level 5 is active 576085 MODIFIED anaconda TypeError: format requires a mapping 576628 MODIFIED anaconda AttributeError: 'DMRaidMember' object has no attribute 'partedDisk' 576691 MODIFIED anaconda ValueError: Error parsing "proxy = 'intel-s3ea2-02.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com:8080'": URL must be http, ftp or https not "intel-s3ea2-02.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com" 575855 MODIFIED anaconda Referencing disks by-path in clearpart doesn't work 567576 ON_QA pyparted PartitionException: Could not get flag on inactive partition /dev/sda-1 572215 ON_QA qemu unhandled vm exit: 0x11 - while creating a guest using virt-install Have an issue you'd like to propose as an F13 release blocker? Please consider the following criteria when escalating an issue: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_13_Beta_Release_Criteria The aim for the Release Criteria for F13 is for our criteria to match up with our 'gut feelings', so if you see an issue that you think should be a blocker but doesn't meet the criteria, please add it as a blocker and mention at the meeting that the criteria don't cover it. Thanks! To promote a bug for consideration as a blocker, simply mark it as blocking the bug 'F13Beta'. You can also already mark bugs as blocking the Final release, if appropriate, by using 'F13Blocker'. Hope to see everyone at the meeting! For the record, the command used to generate the list of bugs is: bugzilla query --blocked=538274 --bug_status=NEW,ASSIGNED,NEEDINFO,ON_DEV,MODIFIED,POST,ON_QA,FAILS_QA,PASSES_QA,REOPENED,VERIFIED,RELEASE_PENDING --outputformat="%{bug_id} %{bug_status} %{component} %{summary}" -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

Printing Test Day Thursday 2010-03-25
by Tim Waugh 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

There will be a Printing Test Day[1] this Thursday, 2010-03-25. Have access to a printer? Please come along and join in! This is an opportunity to try out the new automatic printer driver installation feature[2] in Fedora 13, as well as to give the printing system a bit of an exercise. For the automatic printer driver installation to work properly we need your Device IDs! Many IDs are missing for current printers, and some existing IDs are incorrect. You can help fix this by running following the instructions in the test day page. You don't need a Rawhide installation to provide useful feedback, just a nightly live image[3] will do. The Test Day will run all day in Freenode IRC #fedora-test-day. Tim. */ [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-03-25_Printing [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/AutomaticPrintDriverInstallation [3] http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/desktop/
