In an effort to save space on the Desktop Live image, we've removed the animated backgrounds and an attempt at making the non-animated laughlin background the default was made. However it seems something went wrong with that and just a plain background is seen when booting the RC live image. This obviously isn't going to cut it.
... and now I can't reproduce. I'll ask that others keep an eye out on this. Not voting for it as a blocker just yet.
As I wrote on the list: "Perhaps the change to an xml file (or whatever) which defines what wallpaper gets shown at what time of day is in another package and hence still present, and so you'll see a blank blue background at some times of the day (when the intended background file isn't present) and the standard background at the times of day when that one is supposed to be used?" -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers

Created attachment 455056 [details] error during boot I just tried to boot it in qemu to see what's the problem and this error (see the attached image). So I looked at the patch Bruno did and it looks like there are line-breaks where there shouldn't be (AFAIK): ++gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults ++ -t str -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /usr/share/backgrounds/lau ++ghlin/default/laughlin.xml
Thanks for spotting that. I committed the change to the F-14 branch of spin-kickstarts.
Discussed during the 2010-10-22 F-14-Final blocker review meeting. The team concluded that this bug does impact the final release criteria [1], specifically ... The proposed final Fedora artwork is included and enabled by default for the installer, graphical boot, firstboot, graphical login and desktop background. All Fedora artwork must be consistent with the proposed final theme, and if any artwork contains a graphical version number, the version number used must match the Fedora release number. Generic release artwork (e.g. Alpha, Beta, Development) must not be used for the final release. [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_14_Final_Release_Criteria
The Desktop i686 and x86_64 live image sha256 sums have changed, I believe this bug should now be in MODIFIED and ready for verification.
Just tested and confirmed that the reported problem no longer exists on the i686 and x86_64 Desktop live images 60d05ebdb6882a63f245e609aacb16d47923e1dcb925e9a928f6818a89e17e08 Fedora-14-i686-Live-Desktop.iso 8f81741e938924f68965b5dceac7013d72fe875725b53f61bebd36e740f79b99 Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso
when should we close this? after doing a spin-kickstarts update? -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
I'll do a new build tonight if one isn't done before then. I don't think the package rebuild blocks the release.
yep, jesse clarified it'll just go in as a 0-day update. so since we've verified the live images are now fixed, we can make this no longer block release; it can be closed when the spin-kickstarts update is pushed stable. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
