f14 Xfce spin size (redux)
by Kevin Fenzi 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

ok. I poked some more at the spin and managed to get it back to under size with dropping the following: gnumeric (do people really need a spreadsheet on a live media?) gimp (as pointed out, gimp is very cool, but it's not really something people trying out Xfce need to use/see). some aspell dicts This takes us down to 695MB.

Xfce spin Beta RC3 validation pass
by Adam Williamson 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

Quick note - per my testing, Beta RC3 desktop spin passes the validation testing for Beta, with a clean slate except for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=636229 which I noted in passing. Great job! testing from others to confirm is still welcome! I'm not always right =) -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

F14 Beta RC3 images available for validation testing!
by Adam Williamson 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

Hi, everyone. Fedora 14 Beta RC3 images - that's the third (and hopefully final) release candidate for F14 Beta - are now available for testing here: http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/14-Beta.RC3/ aside from anaconda fixes, the backgrounds are now present in LXDE and XFCE, and LXDE initializes ConsoleKit correctly, fixing several major issues. I've tested that each of these boots to a desktop successfully, so they're not DOA, you won't be wasting your time to download them. Please, if you have some time, help fill out the test matrix here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_14_Beta_RC3_Desktop just click on a test name, follow the steps, and enter your result in the table (there's a key explaining how to put the results in the table). Even if someone else has done a test, you can add your result: the table will handle this and we can have more confidence with many results than with one. Even if you can only do one or two tests, it's useful! We have to have the table filled out (at least with the Alpha and Beta tests) to go ahead and release the Beta. The go/no-go meeting is on Wednesday afternoon US time, so results need to be in by then for the Beta. Thanks a lot, everyone! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

Fedora 14 Beta RC2 (inc. live) available for desktop testing
by Adam Williamson 19 Sep '10

19 Sep '10

Hey, everyone. So, it's time for pre-release testing again! I know this didn't work perfectly for Alpha, but I've got together with releng and tightened up processes and it should be better for Beta. So: right now, here: http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/14-Beta.RC2/Live/ you will find live images for all of the desktop spins (KDE, XFCE, LXDE, Desktop) for RC2 of Fedora 14 Beta. I have tested them, and all four at least boot in a VM, so they're not completely broken like some of the Alpha images :) I also tested KDE and Desktop on bare metal, and I think Christoph has LXDE booted on bare metal right now, so we're pretty sure these are working at a basic level. You won't be wasting a download :) So with these spins we need to fill out these tables: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test As you can see, I've made a start on this already, but there's many tests to fill out. We absolutely need to fill out all the Alpha and Beta tests for each spin. It would be great to also do the Final tests, as this gives us a head start on identifying and fixing blocker issues for the final release. If people could do some of these tests over the next few days (by Wednesday) that would be awesome. Also note that I'm running a session at FUDCon Zurich this afternoon where we'll hopefully be able to get together and fill out some of the table, so if you're at FUDCon, come out to my session at 2pm :) -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

xfce spin size
by Kevin Fenzi 19 Sep '10

19 Sep '10

Currently we are over sized on the Xfce spin for f14: xfce-i386-20100917.16.iso 17-Sep-2010 17:54 727M xfce-x86_64-20100916.15.iso 16-Sep-2010 17:07 728M So, we need about 30ish MB. I can't see any easy thing to remove, so I am going to reluctantly suggest we remove the java-1.6.0-openjdk* packages. :( This means no java plugin out of the box on firefox (openjdk seems to have issues with midori, so I wouldn't call it working there). Any objections? Or other items people see for us to remove? kevin
