2010-08-26 OpenSCAP Test Day report
by Kamil Paral 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

On 26th of August there was an OpenSCAP Test Day [1]. Thanks everyone for showing up. The attendance was not absolutely great, but it was quite decent taking into account this software is not widely known and used. This test day has shown very helpful for OpenSCAP developers since many problems were discovered. Some of them were reported into bugzilla, here's the list: 627633 NEW - [abrt] firstaidkit-engine-0.2.12-1.fc14: raise: Process /usr/bin/python was killed by signal 6 (SIGABRT) 627600 NEW - Set net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects for Hosts and Routers fails 627674 NEW - Failures on F13 565691 ASSIGNED - file probe eats too much memory even for small file lists 627488 CLOSED RAWHIDE - buffer overflow detected in xccdf_item_to_dom Others were communicated over IRC, posted as wiki comments or put onto fpaste. The soon-to-be-available OpenSCAP 0.6.2 version should address most of those shortcomings. Developers also learnt an important lesson about memory requirements of this software in different software setups, because it caused problems on many computers. Thanks developers for actively solving problems and posting fixed versions and testers for helping to improve this upcoming Fedora 14 feature. See you on the next test day, Kamil Paral [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-08-26_OpenSCAP

OpenSCAP Test Day - Thursday 2010-08-26
by Kamil Paral 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

Greetings, An OpenSCAP Test Day is coming up tomorrow - Thursday 26th August: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-08-26_OpenSCAP OpenSCAP is a tool for maintaining the security of systems, such as automatically verifying the presence of patches, checking system security configuration settings, and examining systems for signs of compromise. It is accepted as a feature for the upcoming Fedora 14 [1]. Security controls that are recommended by DISA[2] and NSA[3] for RHEL5 Desktop systems were migrated into Fedora and stored in SCAP content. Tools capable of handling with such a content are delivered too. So if this sounds interesting to you, now is the best time to give it a try! :) Test instructions are easy to follow, you just go a few test cases and fill the results into a matrix. OpenSCAP developers are available for support and inquiries on an IRC channel. The Test Day runs from 9:00 to 17:00 UTC [4] in #fedora-test-day on Freenode IRC. Hope to see you there!

Call for testing: F14 Alpha RC3/RC4 with Radeon graphics adapters
by Adam Williamson 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hi, everyone. So, we have one bug remaining for Fedora 14 whose blocker status is unclear: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=596985 Two reporters in the bug - John Reiser and Mike Chambers - and one reporter from the list - Rui He, http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-August/092583.html - report that the screen is blanked when the installer starts X on various Radeon adapters when booted with default options. The system is still running and you can switch to a virtual console to get logs - see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=596985#c36 - but the screen is permanently blank until reboot. When booted with 'basic video driver' - which, due to an anaconda bug, actually results in the use of the radeon driver, but with kernel modesetting disabled - the installer is able to run X normally, for all three. One further reporter, Chuck Forsberg - http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-August/092581.html - had problems with both default and 'basic video mode' (radeon+UMS). Jerome Glisse reports that he was able to start X and see the display in the installer with one or some of his own test cards. What we need here is more data. So it would be really useful if everyone on this list with a Radeon video adapter could test this. It's fairly quick and easy and doesn't require you to actually complete an install. Just get the boot.iso for RC3 (currently) or RC4 (later today, likely) - the boot.iso for RC3 is at http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/14-Alpha.RC3/Fedora/x86… or http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/14-Alpha.RC3/Fedora/i38… - boot it, and see if you can make it to the graphical stage of the installation process. Please reply here, and if you observe the same problem as the reporters, add your details to the bug report (also test the 'basic graphics driver' choice, and report whether you used rc3 or rc4, and x86-64 or i386). Thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net
