| LXDE Spin Removed - Christoph Wickert |
|
Nov 18, 2009 - 2:33 PM - by bob
|
I have just asked the website admins to remove the Fedora 12 LXDE Spin
from the BitTorrent Tracker because we found a major bug that makes the
images unusable. The problem is a crash in lxde-settings-daemon that
triggers abrt, the automatic bug reporting tool. Because
lxde-settings-daemon gets restarted by lxsession the bug reporting tool
goes into an infinite loop, consumes all CPU power and makes the
computer crash when the overlay image of the live OS is filled up.
I have no idea why we didn't spot this bug before. I have tested every
nightly and they all were fine, but they were created on a different
machine then the final images. Also installing LXDE from the package
repositories works fine, so you can already... [Read More]

The RPM Fusion team is proud to announce the public availability of our ''free'' and ''nonfree'' package repositories for Fedora 12 (Constantine). The repositories contain multimedia applications, kernel drivers, games and other software the Fedora Project doesn't want to ship for various reasons.

| EOL Forum |

In less than 72 hours, we'll witness the release of Fedora 12 and sadly, within a month we'll also witness the demise of support for Fedora 10 as it reaches EOL. But, for some of our members, Fedora 10 will remain long afterwards. Or, perhaps it'll be Fedora 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 that prompts their questions.
Maybe we've had an answer, maybe not, but until now there was never an appropriate Forum to search for similar problems. Well, for that reason, we've created the EOL Forum, just above the Archived Forums, where loads of posts from the past versions are housed.
