f7t3 and USB memory stick
by Robert M. Albrecht 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

Hi, is installing f7t3 onto a memory stick supported ? I booted the live-cd and tried to install it on my usb-stick (1GB) . Anaconda died each time with a different error. One time it was a crash log, this time it is a controllied dialog "An error occured trying to format sda1. The problem is serious, and the install cannot contrinue.". Should it work at all ? cu romal

Live F7T3 openoffice
by James Hubbard 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

Was openoffice on the previous f7t2 live cd? (I can't look since I deleted the iso before running t3.) I just noticed that it wasn't on f7t3. -- James Hubbard http://soweva.blogspot.com

Announcing Fedora 7 Test 3 (6.92)
by Jeremy Katz 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

Welcome to Fedora 7 Test 3. I am please to announce the third of four test releases for Fedora 7. Downloads ======== DVD and network installation are available. http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ The recommended method of download is via BitTorrent from this site. http://fedora.redhat.com/Download/mirrors.html HTTP, FTP, and RSYNC downloads are available from Fedora Project mirrors listed above. Note that not all mirrors may be synced at this time. New in Fedora 7 Test 3 ======== This test release includes significant new versions of many key components and technologies. The following sections provide a brief overview of major changes from the last release of Fedora. Merger of Core and Extras ======== * The Fedora Core and Extras software repositories are being merged, resulting in a shared infrastructure and a single repository of packages to which everyone is invited to contribute. * Fedora 7 Test 3 is packaged initially as a Desktop/Development Workstation/Server implementation, called "Prime". This spin is delivered in DVD iso format only as a trial, see https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-February/msg00993.ht… for the discussion on this. * Many more packages are available in the development repositories. Live CD ======== * This test release includes an i386 ISO for a Desktop Live CD. This Live CD features the ability to install to a hard disk using the same graphical Anaconda installer as the non-live CD variant. * This test release also includes an x86_64 ISO for a Desktop Live image. Due to size, this will require a DVD. As with the i386 Live image, the ability to install to a hard disk is available. * This test release features a new i386 ISO for a KDE Live CD. Note that as of this writing, this ISO is only available via bittorrent. It should be available via the mirrors in the near future. Desktop ======== * This test release features GNOME 2.18 * A brand new Echo icon theme is included as the default in this release. This icon theme is incomplete, but with appropriate feedback and progress, may become the default in the general release. * Fast User Switching is now available via the fast-user-switch-applet. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureFastUserSwitching for more details. Performance ======== * System performance is generally slower in the test releases as compared to the general release since we enable several options that help with debugging. System Administration ======== * System administration tools may be modified under the testing process. System Level Changes ======== * Fedora 7 Test 3 features a 2.6.21rc5 based kernel. Current release information is being tracked on the kernel release notes source page. (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Kernel) Amanda Users who upgrade from older releases need to read the amanda.conf and amanda-client.conf man pages to learn about the the new syntax for calling amandad, as well as edit the /etc/xinetd.d/amanda configuration file to follow the new syntax. Road Map And Release Schedule ======== * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/7/ Intended Audience for Test Releases ======== Test 1 is targeted for developers, who use it "at their own risk", and contains many bleeding edge packages. Test 2 is for early adopters. Most things should work and we need to your help to find what is broken. Test 3 is for early adopters. Most things should work and we need to your help to find what is broken. Test 4 is for beta users. This is the time when we must have full community participation. Without this participation both hardware and software functionality suffers. Quality Assurance for Test Releases ======== The Fedora Project has a process in place for ensuring the highest possible quality even in our test releases. Many bugs are identified, prioritized and fixed during the testing process. We also have a list of known bugs in this release. Refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/7/Test3TreeTesting for more details. Translations of Release Notes ======== Due to the rapidly changing nature of test releases, translations of release notes for test releases are not practical. The initial goal is to have a translation of the release notes included in the test4 release and to allow community review and correction before the general release. As always, the general release is translated following the established practices for localization (l10n) and internationalization (i18n) (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N), which result in comprehensive, high-quality release notes in a variety of languages. About Fedora ======== Fedora is a set of projects sponsored by Red Hat and guided by the contributors. These projects are developed by a large community of people who strive to provide and maintain the very best in free, open source software and standards. The central Fedora project is an operating system and platform based on Linux that is always free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute, now and forever. You can help the Fedora Project community continue to improve Fedora if you file bug reports and enhancement requests. Refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugsAndFeatureRequests for more information. Thank you for your participation. To find out more general information about Fedora, refer to the following Web pages: * Fedora Overview (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Overview) * Fedora FAQ (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ) * Help and Support (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate) * Participate in the Fedora Project (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/HelpWanted) -- fedora-announce-list mailing list fedora-announce-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-announce-list

kernel bug or vmware bug?
by John Poelstra 29 Mar '07

29 Mar '07

I'm running VMWare workstation 5.3 on FC6 i386 with the latest Fedora packages. For the past week or so VMware has not been happy attempting to install rawhide or F7T2 or F7T3. Strangely FC6 guests run fine. The symptoms are that the install freezes and VMware itself consumes 100% of one cpu on my box. Does anyone else have this problem? I also noticed that dmesg shows several entries like this... /dev/vmmon[5251]: host clock rate change request 0 -> 19 /dev/vmmon[5251]: host clock rate change request 19 -> 0 /dev/vmmon[5251]: host clock rate change request 0 -> 1001 /dev/vmmon[5251]: host clock rate change request 1001 -> 2005 /dev/vmmon[5254]: host clock rate change request 2005 -> 3010 /dev/vmmon[5251]: host clock rate change request 3010 -> 3011 /dev/vmmon[5251]: host clock rate change request 3011 -> 3010 which according to http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?messageID=363693&#363693 relates to /dev/rtc and a whitepaper is referenced on the issue. If I understand the article correctly, page #24 implies that the problem comes from the linux kernel on the virtual host being run (e.g. the install of F7). Am I reading this correctly? Thanks, John

Upgrade from FC7 test2 to test3 is a sort of no go (I think?)
by Arch Willingham 29 Mar '07

29 Mar '07

I tried upgrading a FC7 test2 machine to a FC7 test3 install. It got to he point where it asked if I wanted to upgrade the boot configuration. I told it yes...it churned for a few seconds and then you saw it update two packages and then asked to re-boot. I fired it back up and trued running the upgrade again...this time it upgraded no packages. I'm sure upgrading from one test to another is not supported and not encouraged. Its not the end of the world...just an FYI. Arch

Fastest way to test test3
by Kwan Lowe 29 Mar '07

29 Mar '07

Aiieee.. My cable connection has been down so I'm on my backup DSL which is quite slow in comparison. What's the fastest way for me to get T3? At my current connect speed it would take 24 hours to pull down a 3G DVD iso. -- * The Digital Hermit http://www.digitalhermit.com * Unix and Linux Solutions kwan(a)digitalhermit.com
