Fedora 13 Beta validation: how you can help!

[AdamW]

So the Fedora 13 Beta release is imminent, and you too can help with testing to make sure it's ready to go.

The first 'test compose' for the Beta - referred to as TC1 - was released recently: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/piper...ch/089526.html . We now do planned testing on this build: desktop testing and installation testing. You can help by just grabbing the TC1 build and doing any of the planned tests, and filling in the Wiki pages with your results. We'd also like to hear if you notice any really significant bugs in general usage of the TC1 images.

AdamW, thank you for your post.

Very cool, I want to try out Fedora 13's Beta!

Is this the place for the download or should I download from somewhere else?

http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/13-Beta.TC1/

[AdamW]

the Beta is not out yet. What we're doing now is the preparation to release the Beta. What you can download there is 'test compose 1', which is a staging build on the way to the final Beta build. We'll soon start building 'release candidate' builds for the Beta, each of which could potentially become the Beta if it passes all the acceptance criteria.

[kurtdriver]

What is the beta? I have faithfully updated the alpha. The updated alpha will be, when the beta's released, something else entirely?

[AdamW]

No, if you're updating the Alpha, then you're getting the stuff that goes into the Beta.

F13 Beta-rc2 live boots on Pent III 800 via Apollo-133 NV10/nv11 mx.- plymouth, kms, network - OK
Running it now. with Fx 3.6
OOo-writer works with windows smb printer
one avc message - see details below
gpk show 115 updates

That's all for now. Oh, this had many error in VBox-3.1.6 on a Pent IV I f13 host. PCI / udev errors mostly

Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/udisks-daemon "getattr" access to
/LiveOS/ext3fs.img.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by udisks-daemon. /LiveOS/ext3fs.img may be a
mislabeled. /LiveOS/ext3fs.img default SELinux type is default_t, but its
current type is unlabeled_t. Changing this file back to the default type, may
fix your problem.

File contexts can be assigned to a file in the following ways.

* Files created in a directory receive the file context of the parent
directory by default.
* The SELinux policy might override the default label inherited from the
parent directory by specifying a process running in context A which creates
a file in a directory labeled B will instead create the file with label C.
An example of this would be the dhcp client running with the dhclient_t type
and creating a file in the directory /etc. This file would normally receive
the etc_t type due to parental inheritance but instead the file is labeled
with the net_conf_t type because the SELinux policy specifies this.
* Users can change the file context on a file using tools such as chcon, or
restorecon.

This file could have been mislabeled either by user error, or if an normally
confined application was run under the wrong domain.

However, this might also indicate a bug in SELinux because the file should not
have been labeled with this type.

If you believe this is a bug, please file a bug report against this package.

Allowing Access:

You can restore the default system context to this file by executing the
restorecon command. restorecon '/LiveOS/ext3fs.img', if this file is a
directory, you can recursively restore using restorecon -R '/LiveOS/ext3fs.img'.

Fix Command:

/sbin/restorecon '/LiveOS/ext3fs.img'

Strated install and went as far as custom allocation displaying the existing partitions
sba1 -/boot(
sda2 - PV/LVM (/ LV, bkup LV, swap LV, )
4.69 G VG free space

That is as far as I want to go.
Screens looked good.
click on back clear to Hostname, no crashes or errors.

Booted on
Pent IV Intel865bgf Intel EG2 - avc errors as before, otherwise boot was good for plymouth, kms, xorg

Installer worked up to custom partitions and back to first screen, where I exited installer ok.

Hi,

Fedora 13 Beta RC #3 available for testing

http://lists.fedoraproject.org/piper...ch/089826.html

[SlowJet]

No Live ~1GB DVD?
No D/L.

SJ

OK, there's a Live dvd now. 930MB

[AdamW]

the live images tend to come at the end of the build process, so the DVD and 6-CD images show up on the server first.
