Removing AcceptedNTH that was carried over when this issue was cloned. It is now proposed for F15 as a nice-to-have (NTH) fix ... and will be reviewed shortly. To make it clearer, this bug is now: "The remaining issue is lack of implementation support for WPA Enterprise networks in gnome-shell's network indicator" -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers i'm +1 nth on this, btw, but I suspect the chances of it actually getting addressed for release are tiny. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers (In reply to comment #3) > i'm +1 nth on this, btw, but I suspect the chances of it actually getting > addressed for release are tiny. I'm +1 NTH (and -1 blocker) on this issue. Requiring WPA2 enterprise networking is not a release criteria [1], and I'd caution against adding that for F15 without support+agreement from developers. Considering this issue has a workaround (using nm-connection-editor), and that workaround is accessible during install, Live and post-install ... I'm comfortable documenting (+1 CommonBugs) and including a fix if available in time. Otherwise, we can kindly ask dcbw to prioritize this issue for resolution as a day-0 update. [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_15_Final_Release_Criteria it's not dan's problem, it's owen's. =) the NM 'applet' in gnome-shell is part of gnome-shell, not part of NM. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers (In reply to comment #5) > it's not dan's problem, it's owen's. =) the NM 'applet' in gnome-shell is part > of gnome-shell, not part of NM. Thanks for the clarification (s/dcbw/cwalters/) (In reply to comment #6) > (s/dcbw/cwalters/) Good heavens! s/dcbw/otaylor/ The necessary NM-side support is part of NM 0.8.999 which should be part of F15 final (I believe) but for gnome-shell, while the necessary patches landed upstream last week, they did not get approved for gnome-shell stable branch and thus F15 in time for the freeze on Monday. So they may go in as an update after F15 final. Upstream git sha1s for these fixes are:

as this is NTH, we can take a fix for this into RC1 if it can be provided soon (as in, next few hours) - we're just about ready to do RC1 compose otherwise. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers FWIW, I agree this is NTH -- James had asked around for an opinion from someone !QA, so here I am. :-) Also, I've been asking around for some support on fixing this bug since it still would be NTH as a 0-day update. I have some response from devs on it, Florian Muellner was going to look at it but if he can't resolve it best to wait until Owen returns from vacation next week, again aiming for a 0-day if possible. gnome-shell-3.0.1-4.fc15 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gnome-shell-3.0.1-4.fc15 if people could please test and up-karma the update fast that would be great - we will be getting rc1 compose underway soon. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers marking acceptednth with +1s from me, jlaska and paul (and jimw...) -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Package gnome-shell-3.0.1-4.fc15: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 15 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing gnome-shell-3.0.1-4.fc15' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gnome-shell-3.0.1-4.fc15 then log in and leave karma (feedback). gnome-shell-3.0.1-4.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. I believe we just slipped this into the release, so removing commonbugs keyword. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers |
