swap partitions are type 83?
by Allen Kistler 04 Jun '09

04 Jun '09

It's really late to notice this, I know, but F11 anaconda is creating swap partitions as type 83 instead of as type 82. I know F11 has discarded the concept that partitions must begin and end on cylinder boundaries, but has it also discarded the concept that swaps are a separate partition type from file partitions?

Is this expected from this driver? Until very recently it was hanging my system, so maybe it's still not mature? Thanks, David

Won't be problem for other distros? Other apps? Won't come back? Won't make it into the GA? Whatever the intent, fdisk still let's you change the type after installation if you want. If you don't want, that works for swap, too. (As I said, I hadn't seen any problems.) I was under the impression that the RAID autostart type mattered, though. I can easily remember when it was crucial. Hmm... Maybe it's time to play.

Re: Fedora 11 Test Day survey

You're right that we generally only get the meat of the test cases and so forth up about 48 hours in advance. However, the actual *schedule* of events is fixed a lot earlier than that. The F11 schedule was here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/F11 and most of the days were listed there weeks before they actually happened. The F12 one is up now: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/F12 and will be getting populated starting pretty soon. So you do at least have the opportunity to see what days are coming up in future, though the test cases and live media may not be available yet. > 7.

For a couple of test days in the F11 cycle, we did wider announcements to general-interest sites, and this was pretty successful; it's something we'll be doing for F12 too. However, it's not appropriate for all test days (some are things that are really specific to a Fedora audience, or even more selective than that) - we have to pick ones that are both of interest to a general audience, and that a general audience will be able to participate in (i.e. can be tested from a live CD with general-purpose hardware).

still having occasional hard desktop lockups
by Robert P. J. Day 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

i know i've mentioned this before but i'm still having the occasional desktop lockup where, when i'm trying to, say, just drag a window, the cursor changes to the 4-way arrow and just *stays* that way. i can still move the cursor but it's painfully slow and there's no way to get control of the system back short of power cycling. IIRC, if i'm on a network, i can still ssh in so the underlying system is still functioning, but there's no way to break out of X anymore -- ctrl-alt-bs doesn't work. is anyone else seeing this? radeon driver. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
