17:09:05 i'll do it 17:09:09 thanks 17:09:22 if there are no objections, I'll start with the proposed blockers 17:10:07 silence == no objections 17:10:10 #topic (816701) Anaconda should not default to gpt on BIOS systems 17:10:10 #link http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816701 17:10:10 #info Proposed Blocker, MODIFIED 17:10:44 this has already been fixed, no? 17:10:49 yep. 17.24-1 17:10:59 ah, we have a new anaconda build, too? 17:11:03 so I'm +1 :) 17:11:04 yeh 17:11:14 blc: +1 17:11:23 and another later today, as well as new lorax and livecd-creator :) 17:11:28 -1, this isn't a blocker, really. it's a perfectly sensible change and one i support. but it ain't a blokcer. 17:11:39 or else we should be recalling f16. =) 17:11:49 yeah, I was trying to figure out what criterion we might use for this 17:12:03 I assume that existing systems with GPT will go on using GPT? 17:12:13 after upgrade/update, I mean 17:12:21 yeah, any change to this only affects fresh formats. 17:12:26 yes, doesn't change existing systems, new install only. 17:12:46 I'm -1 blocker as well 17:12:55 clearly -1 blocker 17:13:39 proposed #agreed - 816710 - RejectedBlocker - While this is a sensible change, it doesn't hit any of the release criteria and we're still before the final code freeze 17:13:43 ack/nak/patch? 17:13:47 ack 17:13:48 what does that comment mean We already blacklist Lenovos because.. 17:14:10 akshayvyas: in f16, lenovos still got msdos disklabel (not gpt) because we knew most of them didn't handle gpt properly. 17:14:23 gpt+bios 17:14:43 adamw: got ya 17:14:45 right. 17:14:54 gpt+efi is still valid 17:15:02 will still be used, rather 17:15:09 present 17:15:41 ack/nak/patch?

17:19:18 I'm still unsure of this one - the result is ugly but I'm not sure that it's a blocker 17:19:36 logging out doesn't seem to be something many people would do on the livecds 17:19:48 and it could be pretty much fixed with updates 17:19:48 tflink: and on real systems? 17:19:48 he is trying to delete the user from root 17:20:15 the only snag is if you hit this @ first login and can't reboot after updating 17:20:31 trying to delete a user reproduces the problem 100%. logging out is broken just scarcely. can't find reproducer. but it is probably related 17:21:06 if we fix user deletion, I believe we fix also logging out/rebooting 17:21:17 well, logging out works every time 17:21:28 rebooting/powering off requires admin password sometimes 17:21:46 kparal: how often have you hit that? 17:22:02 several times on 3 different machines during the last few weeks 17:22:09 about once a week, maybe twice 17:22:24 this doesn't seem to be a "normal" user activity 17:22:39 rebooting? 17:22:54 deleting an account 17:23:04 cpuobsessed: this is also reported for rebooting w/o deleting the user account 17:23:05 that is only a way how to detect the problem for sure 17:23:09 yep 17:23:37 i've never hit any problem rebooting 17:23:45 me 2 17:23:51 while ugly, I have a hard time seeing a situation where someone hit this before updating and didn't have the adming password 17:23:52 this seems a bit corner case-y to take as a blocker 17:24:01 s/adming/admin 17:24:04 I definitely saw that like "start machine -> log in -> do something -> power off -> please enter password, other users are logged in" . no user deletion in the middle 17:24:06 especially since it seems to rely on fast user switching 17:24:15 adamw +1 17:24:20 kparal: but you have to switch accounts at least, right? 17:24:29 i've _never_ seen this happen when just working with one account at a time. 17:24:30 tflink: how can you be sure this will be fixed by zero-day updates? 17:24:32 adamw: no 17:24:36 no switching accounts either 17:24:46 maybe packagekit is really involved 17:24:58 I probably updated my system while logged in 17:25:01 nfi? 17:25:01 kparal: we can't 17:25:27 but I could modify my statment to be users who upgrade right after release and don't have access to admin password 17:26:06 tflink +1 17:26:08 I have two users - admin....what does that admin mean here i mean user user or rot user 17:26:10 kparal: oh. that wasn't clear in the bug... 17:26:31 well, i'd at least want someone else to reproduce this with no requirement for user switching or anything to take it as a blocker i think 17:26:53 it just happens too infrequently :/ 17:27:11 akshayvyas: I'm a little fuzzy on the "admin" user in gnome but AFAIK it's equivalent to sudo powers 17:27:25 reject as too "corner case-y" (as adamw said) 17:27:46 admin == wheel 17:27:56 sounds like "you do this then do that then try this" 17:27:57 right, in wheel group, I suppose 17:28:08 proposed #agreed - 814690 - RejectedBlocker - While ugly, the consistent triggers are too much of a corner case to take this as a blocker and the other reproducers are too infrequent 17:28:12 cpuobsessed: reproducer is uknown 17:28:27 so he specified two users in comment (I have two users - admin and another one) 17:28:48 ack 17:28:49 right, but yesterday I saw it on a single user machine 17:29:44 I'd rather allow a bit more time to get this reproduced and revisit it at a later time than just outright rejecting it 17:29:58 we can always re-vote, but that may be an idea 17:30:07 can some devel look into reasons why we can't delete accounts? that's 100% reproducible 17:30:19 sure, but once it's rejected things tend to get off the radar\ 17:30:44 if we have tw users ie rot and normal user how can it be possible t delete normal user frm rot 17:31:02 akshayvyas: root isn't counted as a user in this case 17:31:14 it's two non-root users 17:31:17 right 17:31:21 tflink so that admin means user user 17:31:35 kparal: just deleted a bunch - whats not working for you ? 17:31:36 ok got ya 17:31:36 it means a non-root user with admin privelages 17:31:57 sorry for being so fuzzy in the description 17:32:20 I'm seeing one ack and one request for punt 17:32:21 mclasen: could you try the reproducer from the description? 17:32:23 any others? 17:33:05 postpone and bother some devels to look at it 17:33:12 ack 17:33:26 ha, now we're +2 punt and +2 ack 17:33:38 I'll also try to reproduce it either tomorrow or on Monday 17:33:55 red_alert: +1 17:33:56 besides, just because it's rejected as a blocker doesn't make the bug go away, it still there and will get fixed 17:34:14 cpuobsessed: yes, but it goes off the blocker list 17:34:53 kparal: will it really lose that much visibility? 17:34:56 I think if the bug is rather common, we need to make sure it's fixed in either the release or in the zero day updates, therefore we'd need it on the blocker list 17:34:57 proposed #agreed - 814690 - At the moment, this appears to be too much of a corner case to be a blocker but we want to give a bit more time for new reports and triage before making a final decision on blocker status 17:35:04 ack 17:35:08 ack\ 17:35:14 ack 17:35:19 #agreed - 814690 - At the moment, this appears to be too much of a corner case to be a blocker but we want to give a bit more time for new reports and triage before making a final decision on blocker status 17:35:26 ack 17:35:27 ack 17:35:36 #topic (799667) [abrt] gnome-settings-daemon-3.3.90.1-1.fc17: g_logv: Process /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon was killed by signal 5 (SIGTRAP) 17:35:39 #link http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=799667 17:35:42 #info Proposed Blocker, NEW 17:36:10 well, we have another report now 17:36:20 and waiting on upstream to take the proposed fix 17:37:16 I'm probably -.5 blocker on this 17:37:36 sounds like it "could" be fixed at least zero day 17:37:45 it's already NTH but I'm not sure that this is bad/common enough to be a blocker 17:38:02 that really only affects people with a wacom tablet? 17:38:06 NTH sounds about right 17:38:17 red_alert: +1 17:39:11 any other votes/thoughts on blockery-ness? 17:39:20 kparal: looks like a deja-dup bug - it leaves a process behind running as that user - that causes userdel to choke 17:39:23 yeah, it only affects people with certain wacom tablets, but the effect is pretty bad: utter failure to load the desktop. 17:39:53 mclasen: can it also cause the reboot 'please provide password' problems? 17:39:53 only if it's plugged in at boot 17:40:09 cpuobsessed: right 17:40:28 true 17:40:28 cpuobsessed: true, but the cause of the login failure is pretty non-obvious 17:40:31 yeah 17:40:37 kparal: don't think so, no 17:40:37 i'm probably +0.1 blocker =) 17:40:45 if everyone else is leaning not a blocker, i don't mind. 17:40:55 not quite corner case, but most of the users with one will be using the design suite 17:41:09 I forgot about the "can't login if the tablet is plugged @ boot" part 17:41:10 if it only breaks GDM/login but plugging in the tablet after logging in, I'm -1 blocker 17:41:27 i'm thinking NTH 17:41:27 tflink: yeah we took that in last meeting 17:42:01 it would be nice to fix but the workaround is easy enough 17:42:26 * tflink wonders how many people use tablets w/ livecds 17:42:38 we were going to attempt to figure that out, weren't we? 17:42:44 * cpuobsessed enough to file a bug 17:42:57 tflink: if you've got a tablet i don't see why you'd unplug it in order to install fedora. 17:43:13 afaik people with tablets pretty much just leave them connected. unless it's a laptop, of course. 17:43:39 adamw: I agree but I think I'm missing the point. I was wondering how many people using livecds (can't update) would hit this 17:44:39 livecd is the default installation medium, right? 17:44:54 kparal: not in my house 17:45:11 well it seems quite hard to find dvd on fp.org website 17:45:17 tflink: as kparal said. i'm thinking of people with tablets who go 'oh, i'll just download f17 and install it'. 17:45:27 i use it just ft alpha and beta final install with dvd 17:46:42 the default link is for gnome live cd 17:46:42 the workaround is really easy to perform, though...most of the times we don't let a bug block the release it's because of workarounds that are much harder to apply, really 17:46:58 assuming you had any idea what was going on, sure it's easy 17:47:21 sure, that's always the problem with common bugs/workarounds 17:47:53 huh, I think my query is off but I'm only seeing 1 install with a wacom tablet for F16 and none for F15 17:47:54 nobody read the common bugs until something doesn't work OOTB 17:48:00 red_alert: yeah, it's the thing that makes me very slightly + - there's no obvious leap from 'fedora doesn't boot' to 'i should unplug my tablet'. but like i said it's a very weak preference. 17:48:14 kparal: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~deja-dup-hackers/deja-dup/24/view/head:/monitor/README indicates that it is intentional on the part of the upstream maintainer... 17:49:25 so, are we going to sit here until a fix turns up or is there some voting? ;) 17:50:07 sorry, trying to dig into how many tablets have been seen @ install time 17:50:25 it sounds like most of us are slightly + 17:50:53 tflink: how much 17:51:27 the number of tablets and the number of affected tablets are different, too 17:51:51 red_alert: different from what? 17:51:53 -1 blocker 17:52:23 a specific type of wacom tablet is affected 17:52:41 tflink: "all tablets" vs "all affected tablets" 17:52:56 well, I'm seeing 2437 installs with something wacom related for F14 17:53:20 cpuobsessed_afk: it's one of the more popular sets of wacoms. but yeah, it's still pretty narrow. 17:53:52 but almost nothing for F15 and F16 which is wrong - lots of laptops have devices that identify as "wacom" 17:54:11 -1 bocker 17:54:14 it sounds like we're more strongly -1 blocker 17:54:18 -1 blocker 17:55:06 proposed #agreed - 799667 - RejectedBlocker - While this is ugly and the cause is not immediately obvious, it was deemed too much of a corner case to take as a blocker for F17 final 17:55:17 sure. 17:55:20 ack 17:55:25 yep 17:56:15 ack 17:56:18 #agreed - 799667 - RejectedBlocker - While this is ugly and the cause is not immediately obvious, it was deemed too much of a corner case to take as a blocker for F17 final 17:56:21 #topic (815243) reset of gnome-shell starts NewtorkManager.service 17:56:24 #link http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815243 17:56:26 #info Proposed Blocker, NEW 17:57:18 I'm probably still -1 blocker on this unless there is an affected spin that I'm not thinking of 17:57:34 s/probably// 17:58:30 yeah, -1 blocker, esp since we now have NM in minimal installs. it's obviously _wrong_, but i see no basis for blocker status. 17:58:48 -1 blocker 17:59:19 -1 blocker 18:00:10 proposed #agreed - 815243 - RejectedBlocker - This won't affect any of the livecds and could be fixed with an update. 18:00:14 ack 18:00:21 also, doesn't hit any criteria, really. 18:00:44 ack 18:00:53 ack 18:01:24 #agreed - 815243 - RejectedBlocker - This doesn't hit any of the release criteria, won't affect any of the livecds and could be fixed with an update. 18:01:44 #topic (809111) grub2-probe fails during install 18:01:45 #link http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=809111 18:01:45 #info Proposed Blocker, NEW 18:02:15 I used the wrong criterion when proposing this 18:02:33 it should be "The installer must be able to create and install to any workable partition layout using any file system offered in a default installer configuration, LVM, software, hardware or BIOS RAID, or combination of the above" 18:03:10 it would be nice to have input from the anaconda or grub devs, though 18:04:34 unless there is some reason that this partition layout is invalid, I'm +1 blocker 18:04:50 +1, particularly since it was reproduced with no /boot-on-RAID involved 18:05:34 there's that, too 18:05:58 im not sure but i think its because of disk layout 18:06:08 proposed #agreed - 809111 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the F17 final release criterion "The installer must be able to create and install to any workable partition layout using any file system offered in a default installer configuration, LVM, software, hardware or BIOS RAID, or combination of the above" 18:06:32 it'd be nice to see if he still sees it running a newer build of grub2 18:06:37 since there have been several since then 18:06:48 ack 18:06:50 we can ask that in the bug 18:07:01 tflink: ack 18:07:36 I'm not really convinced this is a blocker, since it seems to work for everybody else - it seems likely to be specific to something going on on his machine 18:07:51 mads seems to think grub2 rc4 might fix it 18:07:52 but more data would certainly be welcome :) 18:07:54 pjones: +1 18:08:08 pjones: well, there appear to be at least two reporters. 18:08:24 pjones: unless sam's bug is different from fridjtof's, and he stole the report. 18:08:56 yeah, hard to say 18:09:10 i am +1 blocker 18:09:30 #c23 may also be an interesting point; I guess I'll look into fixing that (though I don't know why it'd make much difference here) 18:10:00 * tflink assumes that akshayvyas meant ack 18:10:13 #agreed - 809111 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the F17 final release criterion "The installer must be able to create and install to any workable partition layout using any file system offered in a default installer configuration, LVM, software, hardware or BIOS RAID, or combination of the above" 18:10:22 yep tflink 18:10:37 topic (804363) kmix crashes when pulseaudio exits 18:10:37 #link http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804363 18:10:37 #info Proposed Blocker, VERIFIED 18:10:57 I'm -1 blocker, -1 NTH on this 18:11:15 PA shouldn't be crashing enough for this to be a blocker 18:11:25 but the report of PA issues is something different 18:12:16 tflink: topic was not updated 18:12:55 #undo 18:12:55 Removing item from minutes: 18:12:57 #undo 18:12:57 Removing item from minutes: 18:13:03 why is it reopened?

or is there more to it? i'm confused. 18:28:12 adamw: but it was related to gnome system date config 18:28:14 not firstboot 18:28:25 adamw: its just live cd i think 18:28:26 ohh, right. sorry. 18:29:02 either way the fix was pushed to testing 18:29:13 comment3 18:29:14 systemd changed some workflow. now if you enable network time in gnome control panel, it should enable either chrony or ntp service, depending what you have installed 18:29:25 kparal: did you test the fix w/ live install or DVD/netinst install? 18:29:28 i'm not sure it's bad enough to be a blocker, though. 18:29:29 rather start service than enable service, it uses some weird dependencies 18:29:48 not having network time during a live boot is...meh...and for all other cases, it's eminently update-fixable. 18:29:57 tflink: I tested on an already installed system, not a clean installation 18:29:58 kparal: what kind of deps 18:30:12 systemd unit files dependencies 18:30:18 adamw: my concern would be enabling ntp on a fresh install 18:30:23 the service will not get enabled, but it will get started 18:30:32 like in firstboot 18:30:51 it will be enabled 18:31:35 it was working 18:32:14 tflink: I don't follow, fresh installs don't have ntp AFAIK. at least live ones 18:32:30 we can re-test that of course 18:32:35 its fixed https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-6798/ntp-4.2.6p5-2.fc17 18:32:51 that brings up the question of why we ask about starting ntp in firstboot 18:32:56 well...afai understand, i'm -1. 18:33:00 akshayvyas: no one confirmed that 18:33:20 tflink: so who asked that first? 18:33:52 kparal: about why we do that when ntp isn't installed by default? It's not 100% related 18:34:44 I don't really see a blocker here, clean installations work fine, network time can be enabled now. if anything else is broken (like upgrades), it can be fixed afterwards. 18:34:53 at least we don't have any criteria like that for upgrades 18:35:37 -1 blocker 18:35:41 proposed #agreed - 816495 - RejectedBlocker - This doesn't clearly hit any of the release criteria and could be fixed with an update. 18:35:48 ack 18:35:50 ack 18:35:56 ack 18:35:58 #agreed - 816495 - RejectedBlocker - This doesn't clearly hit any of the release criteria and could be fixed with an update. 18:35:59 ack 18:36:08 #topic (815413) Preugprade from F16 to F17 Beta does not regenerate pam.d/system-auth*, causing systemd-loginctl not to know about user sessions, breaking PulseAudio 18:36:11 #link http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815413 18:36:14 #info Proposed Blocker, NEW 18:38:02 I'm still +1 blocker on this but it needs more testing 18:38:39 sound broken after preupgrade sounds blockerish, but i'm not familiar with the bug. 18:39:37 anyone reproduce with Final-TC2? 18:40:01 or rather latest builds or whatnot? 18:40:08 +1 blocker 18:40:54 +1 blocker 18:40:59 pam_systemd missing from system-auth sounds like there will be more issues coming up, too 18:41:02 +1 blocker 18:41:27 proposed #agreed - 815413 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the F17 beta release criterion "The installer must be able to successfully complete an upgrade installation from a clean, fully updated default installation (from any official install medium) of the previous stable Fedora release, either via preupgrade or by booting to the installer manually.

For most users, a 250 MB boot partition is sufficient. 19:07:07 i guess it kinda depends how badly we care about small /boot. how long have we defaulted to 500MB now? 19:07:19 since F14, I think 19:07:24 * cpuobsessed has a 2Gb /boot 19:07:35 but as it stands you can't use stage2 to point right at the image. We may want to change that as well... 19:07:47 so the possible reason is /boot 19:08:00 the reporter should clean his /boot and try again 19:08:31 no, preupgrade should pass the right params and/or anaconda should accept more stage2 variations. 19:08:51 cpuobsessed: +1 19:10:02 yeah, +1 on preupgrade not using the wrong options 19:10:54 +1 blocker 19:10:56 cpuobsessed: not really 'clean' 19:11:10 cpuobsessed: if you have a 200MB /boot it's often gonna be too small even if you've done nothing unusual 19:12:20 yeah, it's clear we have actual code bugs here. just blocker status is a bit questionable 19:12:41 i'm not sure small /boot is a big enough case any more to block on 19:12:49 +1 NTH (assuming a well tested fix) 19:13:01 what do we tell people with small /boot? 19:14:14 I'm -1 blocker. preupgrade needs to be changed. 19:15:03 tflink: how do you define "small boot" 19:15:17 bcl: i don't see how those two statements relate to each other 19:15:20 < 200M definitely 19:15:33 install docs say 250M 19:15:36 bcl: for now we have to treat bugs in preupgrade as if they can be blockers 19:15:45 -1 blocker 19:15:45 preupgrade bugs aren't blockers are they? It can be changed independent of the isos. 19:15:46 cpuobsessed: what's in the docs isn't as important as what anaconda does by default 19:15:47 or at least recommends about 250Mb for most users 19:16:03 bcl: they don't block spins, they can block release 19:16:08 bcl: right now, they still are. i proposed making them not, but the proposal doesn't have clear support yet. 19:16:15 ah, ok. 19:16:22 well, whatever.

19:54:47 yeah, that's 44-8. 19:54:54 i'm not on an f17 system atm, anyone else able to test? 19:55:37 NetworkManager-0.9.4.0-8.git20120502.fc17 19:55:54 shall i reboot? 19:56:14 I have a F17 box here, will try 19:56:58 i've got a ~40 sec boot time 19:57:01 race 19:57:13 it's taking a while to shutdown 19:57:43 tflink: the systemd update notes a separate NM bug... 19:58:42 how do you disable NM? 19:58:58 just 'systemctl disable' before reboot? 20:00:15 yeah 20:00:17 or downgrade it i guess 20:01:21 hrm, killing it didn't work 20:01:41 ..and i'm back 20:01:57 ~41 second boot that time 20:02:08 tflink: you have the systemd update, right? 20:02:24 44-8 something 20:02:41 i'm 90% sure that I do but I'm going to check as soon as this box comes back up 20:04:05 no, I don't - I thought it was in updates-testing 20:04:20 i thought i had it updated 20:04:51 still on 44-7 20:05:01 tflink: so, trry 44-8 and see if it's fixed... 20:05:54 adamw: +1 it's good to try ryt now 20:06:24 it won't let me 20:06:33 sudo yum update systemd 20:06:45 no packages marked for update 20:07:29 yeah, that seems to be making it worse 20:07:49 so it didn't make it to the repo yet. get it from koji... 20:07:52 tflink: 44-8 makes it worse? 20:08:01 yep, even after killing NM 20:08:33 i'll try rebooting again, maybe itll help to use the new systemd for loading 20:09:25 cpuobsessed: enablerepo update testing 20:09:45 akshayvyas: it is enabled 20:10:05 it's probably not in your mirror yet, then 20:10:19 that seems to have done it 20:10:44 Error: Protected multilib versions: systemd-44-7.fc17.i686 != systemd-44-8.fc17.x86_64 20:10:57 did i download the wrong one? 20:10:58 so you need to get the i686 version too. 20:11:01 you have both. 20:11:07 tflink: so you have decent reboots now? 20:11:09 yep cpuobsessed arch is diff 20:11:18 yeah, it's fine after the first reboot 20:11:38 that means its fixed 20:11:43 but this is with me killing NM before rebooting, though 20:11:58 what happens if you enable NM? just for grins. 20:12:21 i downloaded the right one 20:12:23 yeah, I was about to try that 20:12:46 cpuobsessed: you have *both* systemd packages installed. 20:12:58 the NM update has already been downvoted into oblivion, fwiw. 20:13:01 no problems with NM on 20:13:21 so, looking good that this is fixed 20:13:31 which is good info... 20:13:47 as far as blocker status goes...if it was affecting _all_ shutdowns, then +1. i think for a while it only affected console-triggered ones? 20:14:24 I thought that console triggered ones were the only way to avoid them 20:14:31 the slow reboots, I mean 20:15:07 oh. well, in that case, probably +1. 20:15:44 at least that's how I'm reading it: telinit3 & reboot was a workaround 20:15:54 sure, +1 20:16:27 any suggestions for a criterion to use? 20:16:36 the one cited in the report 20:16:42 it says default shutdown methods should work 20:16:47 arguably, taking 2 minutes to fire isn't 'working' 20:17:09 mine wasn't quite that long but WFM 20:17:56 proposed #agreed - 816842 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the F17 beta release criterion "All release-blocking desktops' offered mechanisms (if any) for shutting down, logging out and rebooting must work" 20:18:27 ack 20:19:15 ack 20:19:21 #agreed - 816842 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the F17 beta release criterion "All release-blocking desktops' offered mechanisms (if any) for shutting down, logging out and rebooting must work" 20:19:28 ok, that's all of the proposed blockers 20:19:54 I propose that we call it quits for the day and meet again tomorro to address any new blockers and go through the NTH and accepted blockers 20:20:35 agreed! 20:20:43 #topic open floor 20:20:46 agree :) 20:21:03 Anything else that someone feels needs to be brought up? 20:22:06 yep a fc 16 bug 20:22:39 * tflink sets the fuse for [0,5] minutes 20:22:47 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=766314 20:23:09 * tflink can't tell if you're being serious or not 20:23:40 im not sure but i think this bug is in f17 too 20:24:08 transferring things via bluetooth isn't anywhere near release critical. 20:24:35 so that's what it was doing 20:24:36 yep i think you are right adamw 20:24:39 * tflink wasn't sure 20:24:50 fuse is still going 20:25:06 tflink: obex anything is bluetooth. 20:25:21 #info F17 final blocker review meeting #4 will be 2012-05-04 @ 17:00 UTC 20:25:39 adamw: google was giving me vague answers 20:26:10 Thanks for helping out everyone! 20:26:12 im nt sure but it worked for me after setenforce 0 20:26:25 We'll get through this list tomorrow! 20:26:38 i can't get systemd to update 20:26:39 tflink: im kay with that :) 20:26:51 moving over to #fedora-qa 20:26:58 * tflink wonders if we're setting some sort of record for the number of blocker review meetings in 1 week 20:27:12 * tflink will send out minutes shortly 20:27:14 #endmeeting
