Installation issues
Installer screens sometimes do not appear at full screen width
link to this item - Bugzilla: #869364
Sometimes when you visit a screen in the Fedora 19 installer (a 'spoke') more than once, it will display incorrectly - it will be squeezed into an area less than the full width of the screen, and sometimes less than the full height also. We have been attempting to fix this bug for a while but it is a difficult one to pin down.
Usually you can still use the screen in the reduced size version, though it may look very strange. If you get completely stuck, though, you will unfortunately be required to reboot and restart the installation process. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Sadly, we were unable to resolve this issue ahead of the final release of Fedora 19. We were unable to diagnose the cause of the issue, so without any idea how long it might take to fix or how difficult the fix may be, we could not consider adjusting the release schedule. We will attempt to make sure the issue is fixed for the release of Fedora 20.
Apple EFI Macs: EFI install alongside existing EFI installed OS (including OS X) results in you have not created a bootloader stage1 target device error
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1010495
If you try to do a native UEFI install of Fedora 19 alongside a native UEFI install of OS X and re-use the existing EFI system partition, the installer will incorrectly consider the existing EFI system partition as invalid and report that you have not created a bootloader stage1 target device. Unfortunately, the Fedora automatic partitioning algorithm will actually attempt to re-use the EFI system partition, and so you will run into this bug in any Fedora 19 installation attempt where you use the automatic partitioning algorithm and do not choose to delete the existing EFI system partition.
Practically speaking, there are a few different approaches to dealing with this problem. If you do not mind losing your OS X installation, you can simply choose to delete it (including the EFI system partition), and let Fedora occupy the rest of the disk. Fedora should create a new EFI system partition and install successfully.
If you wish to preserve your OS X installation, install Fedora 19 Final, and dual boot, you must use the installer's 'custom partitioning' path. Make sure to leave the existing EFI system partition intact, but do not set a mount point for it. Do not use the Create partitions for me button. Instead, manually create a new EFI system partition, and set it to be mounted at /boot/efi
. Manually create other partitions as usual. Complete custom partitioning, and your installation should proceed successfully. See the Installation Guide for general instructions on the partitioning process, if necessary.
You could also try installing Fedora 18 or Fedora 19 Beta. These should allow you to use automatic partitioning to install alongside OS X, assuming you do not run into any other bugs they may have contained. You could then upgrade to Fedora 19 Final - with FedUp from Fedora 18, or yum from Fedora 19 Beta. You will still wind up with two EFI system partitions in this case.
We are investigating the possibility of producing an updates image to make it easier to deal with this bug. We apologize for any inconvenience it causes you.
Intel firmware RAID-1+ sets not visible in live installer
link to this item - Bugzilla: #975649
Fedora 19 testing indicates that Intel firmware RAID sets at level 1 and higher (so not level 0) fail to appear as potential target devices in the installer when running from a live image. They appear as normal when installing from a non-live image (the DVD or network installer).
This issue appears to be caused by mdmon failing to start or being killed during the live image start up. It may be possible to work around it by starting mdmon manually prior to running the installer. The other 'workaround' for the issue is simply to install from the DVD or network install image rather than a live image if you wish to install to an affected firmware RAID device.
Installer crashes with No such file or directory: '/dev/md' if MD-RAID set is referred to by device node name in /etc/fstab
link to this item - Bugzilla: #980267
If you attempt to install Fedora 19 on a system containing an existing Linux system whose /etc/fstab
contains one or more entries referring to a partition on an MD-RAID set by its device node name (e.g. /dev/md0p1
or /dev/md127p2
), the installer will likely crash, with the error No such file or directory: '/dev/md'.
Identifying any storage device by its device node name is fragile and it is usually a better idea to use something more robust such as a filesystem label or UUID, but it is of course a bug that the Fedora installer crashes when it encounters such a situation; it should handle it more gracefully.
To work around this issue, either adjust the /etc/fstab
entry to refer to the device(s) by a more robust identifier, or temporarily comment them out while running the Fedora installation. The latter approach will have the minor drawback that Fedora will not be able to identify the device(s) as being part of any existing installation, and will instead display them in the 'Unknown' group of the Custom Partitioning screen, if you visit it during your installation.
Problems with Installation Source and Installation Destination spokes when installing from a partially complete kickstart
link to this item - Bugzilla: #972265 - Bugzilla: #972266
If you attempt to install Fedora 19 using a partially-complete kickstart - in particular, a kickstart which specifies a package set but no installation source or destination - you will find that the interactive process for setting those options behaves strangely. On the Installation Source spoke, you may not be able to use the default Closest mirror option. If you are affected by this problem, you can manually enter the URL of the Fedora 19 mirror list, and check the This URL refers to a mirror list. box. The URLs for the 64-bit and 32-bit mirror lists are https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-19&arch=x86_64
and https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-19&arch=i386
The Installation Destination spoke appears to require you to complete it multiple times to complete configuration: each time it will set another element of the configuration. Even after doing this, you may find a bootloader target disk is not selected. To set one, first enter the Full disk summary and bootloader... screen and select not to install a bootloader, and complete the spoke once again. Then complete the spoke one more time, this time selecting the correct target disk for the bootloader, and the configuration should now be complete.
As these issues take some effort to work around, it may be a better idea simply to use a complete kickstart, or at least one which specifies an installation source and destination. The Anaconda/Kickstart page should help you with the required syntax.
Storage devices without media show as 0-byte partitions and can crash the installer
link to this item - Bugzilla: #960794
Several testers have reported an unusual case with certain storage devices in the Fedora 19 installer. Some devices report themselves to the kernel as drives with 'no media present'. Identified cases so far include an Android-based phone when plugged into the system but not set in USB storage mode, and a few types of card reader when no card is inserted.
If such a device is present during installation, it will not be shown in the 'Installation Destination' screen's list of disks, but if you enter the custom partitioning mode, the device will appear as a single 0-byte partition. If you attempt to manipulate this partition in any way, the installer may crash with an error AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'type' .
There are two obvious workarounds for this issue. In most cases it should be possible simply to disconnect the offending device: there is no need to connect your phone or external card reader during installation. If the offending device is not easily removable, you can simply leave the bogus 0-byte 'partition' entirely alone, and your installation should proceed successfully.
Network installation with Authoring and Publishing group selected fails
link to this item - Bugzilla: #959696
Due to an unmarked conflict between two texlive-related packages (ht
and texlive-tex4ht-bin
), Fedora 19 installations with the Authoring and Publishing package group selected (and possibly with the Font design group selected) will fail.
The offending packages (and groups) are not present on the Fedora 19 DVD, so the bug is not present there. The issue affects only network installs. It will be resolved once the conflict between the two packages is fixed with an update, so long as you enable the updates repository in your installation.
UEFI install to ms-dos ('MBR') labelled disk fails with unclear errors
link to this item - Bugzilla: #978430
As veterans of the Fedora 16 release may remember, there are two commonly-used 'disk label' or 'partition table' formats known as 'gpt' and 'ms-dos' or 'mbr'.
Fedora 19's installer effectively requires that native UEFI installations be performed to a disk with the 'gpt' format (in fact, it requires that the EFI system partition be on such a disk). In fact, this is not a requirement of the official UEFI specification: it leaves open the possibility of an EFI system partition residing on an ms-dos labelled disk, though it is possible that some firmwares may not support such a configuration.
In any case, if you attempt to do a native UEFI install of Fedora 19 such that the EFI system partition will reside on an ms-dos labelled disk, this will fail. You are likely get an error of the form you have not created a bootloader stage1 target device, possibly with the note that the volume backing the EFI system partition must have one of the following disklabel types: gpt. You may also observe unusual behaviour on the Reclaim space screen, if you use it in your installation attempt. Note that you can encounter this error message even when installing to a gpt-labelled disk if you use custom partitioning and fail to correctly configure an EFI system partition: when doing a UEFI install you must include a partition of the 'EFI system partition' type, and mount it at the path /boot/efi.
We have found that there appear to be some systems 'in the wild' with existing native UEFI operating system installations to an ms-dos labelled drive. Unfortunately, this bug means you cannot install Fedora 19 in a dual-boot configuration to the same drive as such an operating system. You would need to install to a second drive in order to dual boot.
If you wish to do a native UEFI installation of Fedora 19, it must be to a gpt-labelled disk, or you must configure your installation such that all existing partitions on the disk on which the EFI system partition will reside will be deleted (doing this will cause the installer to reformat it with a gpt disk label). Note that it is not possible to change the label format of a disk in a non-destructive way with the installer: it requires a complete re-format.
You can, however, convert it using the gdisk
utility from a live image prior to running the installer. Simply invoke gdisk
as root using your hard disk device as the first argument (e.g. su -c 'gdisk /dev/sda'
) and it will offer to convert the partition table for you. After answering "yes", type w
and press Enter to commit the changes to disk, then type q
and press Enter to exit gdisk
. Please note that conversion is a potentially risky operation; make sure you have backups before proceeding! Also, existing operating system installations may fail to boot after converting your partition table, so you may have to reinstall them (or just their bootloader if possible) in order for them to function again.
If you do not actually wish to perform a native UEFI installation, you should boot your installation medium in BIOS compatibility mode if your system firmware allows you to do so. Different firmwares present this capability in different ways, so we cannot provide definitive instructions. If you cannot see how to achieve this in your firmware, you can use an installation medium which is not compatible with UEFI-native booting: for instance, write a USB stick using the livecd-iso-to-disk
tool without passing the --efi
parameter. If all else fails, you can boot your installation medium in UEFI native mode, but pass the kernel parameter noefi
when booting the installer: this should cause the installer to perform a BIOS-native installation instead of a UEFI-native installation.
For Fedora 21, we intend to revise the installer to handle this situation in a better way. We apologize for any inconvenience it causes.
USB stick from which install is running appears as a possible install target
link to this item - Bugzilla: #874381
In some circumstances, when you are installing Fedora 19 from a USB stick, the stick itself will show up as a possible 'target disk' on the Installation Destination screen where you choose which disk(s) to install onto. This is not intended to happen. It is not possible to install to the USB stick from which the installation is running: if you attempt to do this, the installation will fail. Naturally, therefore, we recommend you simply avoid selecting the stick on this screen.
Multipath devices disappear from Installation Destination screen second time through
link to this item - Bugzilla: #955664
If for any reason you visit the Installation Destination screen more than once during a Fedora 19 installation to a system with available multipath storage device(s), the multipath device(s) will show in the device list the first time through, but not on subsequent visits. You will still be able to find it by using the Add a disk... button, though, so you can continue with your installation.
Hidden extlinux install option works only with network install
link to this item - Bugzilla: #970184
The feature Features/SyslinuxOption provides the Fedora 19 installer with a hidden (mostly undocumented) boot parameter extlinux. If you pass this parameter, the installer will attempt to install the extlinux bootloader instead of grub2. However, this obviously requires extlinux to be available to the installer. During live and DVD-sourced installations, extlinux is not available, and any attempt to install with this parameter will fail with the error No such file or directory: '/mnt/sysimage/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf'. The parameter will work correctly when performing a network installation. So, if you intend to use this hidden feature of Fedora 19, use the non-live installer, and ensure network repositories (or at least some repository containing the extlinux
package) is available to the installer.
Reboot after non-live install often delayed for a minute or so
link to this item - Bugzilla: #974383
After successfully completing an installation of Fedora 19 from the DVD or network installation media, you will see a button to Reboot. Sometimes, after you click this, the system will appear to hang at a console. In fact, the reboot process is just delayed; if you leave it for a minute or two, the system will reboot correctly. We do recommend you wait it out to avoid any possibility of filesystem damage, rather than forcing a reset.
'Selected' state for disks is indicated with a small and easily missed check mark
link to this item - Bugzilla: #967682
On the installer screen where you choose which disks will be used for Fedora 19 installation, disks that are selected as installation targets are marked with a fairly small black check mark in the lower right hand corner; disks that are not selected do not have the check mark.
This has been changed since Fedora 18, when disks that were selected were highlighted in blue, and now the blue highlight simply means the UI element is selected. So if you click on a disk that was previously selected as an install target, then you have just de-selected it - so the check mark goes away - but the UI element is active, so it is highlighted in blue.
Add to this that if you only have a single hard disk it will be pre-selected as an install target when you enter the page, and it has become clear that this design is confusing people. Many users have entered the screen and clicked to 'select' their single disk - in fact de-selecting it, because it was already selected, but not noticing the mistake.
Please be aware that the check mark not the blue highlight indicates the disks selected as targets. We will endeavour to improve this interface before the release of Fedora 20.
Bootloader password is required on each boot
link to this item - Bugzilla: #840160
If you set a bootloader password during installation of Fedora 19 (which is only possible when doing a kickstart-based install), the password will be required at each boot of the system. This is a change in behaviour from Fedora 15 and earlier, where the password was required only to change settings from within the bootloader.
Lawrence Lowe suggests that the --unrestricted parameter can be added to menuentry lines in the grub config file to make them available without the password being entered.
Non-GNOME initial setup utility does not warn of failure to create a user account
link to this item - Bugzilla: #965797
In Fedora 19, the new initial-setup utility (shown after a graphical install with any desktop other than GNOME if you do not create a user account during installation) does not present any kind of warning if you leave it without having created a user account. Thus it is relatively easy to arrive at a graphical login screen without any user accounts available.
The old utility would allow you to skip user account creation, but required you to click through a warning in order to do so, to ensure no-one did it inadvertently. This is also how initial-setup should behave.
We have tested that the desktops for which the new tool is used - KDE, Xfce, LXDE, MATE, and Sugar - all allow login as root, so this bug should not present any major roadblocks to accessing the installed system. However, if you do install without creating a user account, we strongly advise that you log in as root only in order to create a user account, and then immediately log out and in future always log in as the user account. Using a graphical desktop with root privileges can increase your vulnerability to remote attack, to simple mistakes having severe consequences, and to bugs caused by software not expecting to be run with root privileges.
This issue does not affect the GNOME initial setup utility: in fact, that utility will not allow you to skip user account creation at all.
Fedup: upgrade to F19 can't start without rd.luks.uuid/rd.lvm.lv/rd.md.uuid boot args
link to this item - Bugzilla: #974000
The system hangs during the reboot after running the command fedup --network 19
from F18. F17 and F18 would boot without specifying 'rd.luks.uuid' or 'rd.lvm.lv' arguments, but F19 won't.
Under normal circumstances, the installer sets up those arguments for you, but some people who migrated from GRUB to GRUB2 by hand have *dropped* those arguments - which works fine for F17 and F18, but fails for F19.
The recommended fix is to restore the rd.luks.uuid/rd.lvm.lv/etc. arguments from your old grub.cfg. In a pinch, you can add "rd.auto=1" to your boot arguments to make dracut try to automatically set up *every* disk it finds; this isn't recommended for general use though.
Kickstart: if no password is specified for a user account, it will be unlocked
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1063540
In Fedora 19 (and 20), if you do a kickstart installation and your kickstart contains a user directive with no password, the user will be created as an unlocked account: it will be possible to log in to it with no password. This differs from previous releases and from the behaviour previously described on the wiki page (which has now been updated), where such an account would be created locked: impossible to log into.
To create a locked user account, explicitly specify the --lock parameter to the user directive in your kickstart file. It would be best practice to do this in any case, and not rely on the default behaviour being correct, as this case shows!
This issue will be resolved for future releases.
Hardware issues
Boot hangs when using NVIDIA discrete graphics on some Thinkpad models (W520, T420)
link to this item - Bugzilla: #752613 Kernel bugzilla: #43054
Multiple testers have reported that various Thinkpad models - including at least the W520 and T420 - that have hybrid Intel/NVIDIA graphics will fail to boot Fedora 19 when using the discrete NVIDIA graphics adapter. Using the onboard Intel adapter, Fedora will boot successfully.
Further testing indicates that this bug is an interaction between several features of these systems and of Fedora: the VT-d advanced virtualization feature, the X2APIC level APIC, and the NVIDIA adapter. If all three of these things are used together, boot fails. If any one is removed from the equation, boot succeeds.
So if you are affected by this bug, you can choose to boot with any two of those things, but not all three together. You can disable the VT-d feature and select which graphics adapter to use through the system firmware. You can disable X2APIC functionality by passing the kernel parameter nox2apic. In this way, you should be able to determine which of the features you want to use.
The kernel developers plan to address this issue in a future kernel update by blacklisting X2APIC functionality on affected systems, when the NVIDIA adapter is in use.
Transition from GDM to desktop fails on systems with old or no 3D graphics adapters
link to this item - Bugzilla: #955779
Several users have reported a problem with logging in from GDM on systems with an old, or no, 3D graphics adapter (including virtual machines). This seems to affect some virtual setups, and older graphics adapters that are blacklisted from being used for 3D acceleration of GNOME Shell: pre-i915 Intel adapters, pre-R300 (Radeon 9500) Radeon adapters, and pre-NV30 (GeForce FX) NVIDIA adapters. The effect of the bug is that, after entering a username and password, the screen remains blank grey, never transitioning to the desktop. Some testers do not seem to be affected by the problem; we are yet to pin down precisely what is causing it.
If you are affected by the problem, the simplest solution is to switch to a different login manager. The best options are likely KDM and LightDM, as they have received the most testing with the widest range of desktops besides GDM. To switch to kdm or lightdm, simply install the kdm
or lightdm
package and run su -c 'systemctl disable gdm.service'
. Then, run su -c 'systemctl enable kdm.service'
or su -c 'systemctl enable lightdm.service'
and reboot. You should see the new login manager, and you should be able to log in successfully with it.
Software issues
X may crash when using the qxl driver in a Fedora 19 virtual machine on a Fedora 19 host
link to this item - Bugzilla: #978612
Some testers have reported X.org crashes in Fedora 19 KVM virtual machines running on Fedora 19 hosts when using the qxl graphics driver. The issue seems to be triggered by a resolution change in the guest, but some testers have observed it happening during an installation from the KDE live image: we are not yet sure why. This issue does not seem to affect all testers, and seems to affect some worse than others.
If you find yourself suffering from this issue, there are a couple of possible workarounds. You can configure your virtual machine to use the cirrus video adapter rather than qxl and the VNC display method rather than SPICE (though this may cause issues with GNOME Shell), or you can use the Basic graphics mode option from the Fedora 19 bootloader menu (or simply pass the parameter nomodeset on the kernel command line).
An updated xorg-x11-drv-qxl package has been submitted to the updates-testing repository for testing. Users experiencing this problem are encouraged to test this update and report to Bodhi whether it solves the problem. To test the update, run this command:
su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update xorg-x11-drv-qxl'
and then reboot the guest system. Of course, this will not be useful for the initial installation of a Fedora 19 virtual machine: for that phase, try one of the workarounds mentioned above.
Crash when GNOME introductory video attempts to play
link to this item - Bugzilla: #962092
When a user logs into GNOME 3.8 (as included in Fedora 19) for the first time, a short introductory video is intended to play. Fedora 19 testing has indicated that, sometimes, there is a crash, and the video fails to play. On first login to a user account, you may notice a crash report for the /usr/libexec/gnome-initial-setup-player process. Aside from the crash report and the failure of the video to play, this bug appears to have no further consequences. We have not yet identified the circumstances under which the crash occurs.
"Updates available" notification runs online updater
link to this item - Bugzilla: #863592
Fedora 18 introduced a feature called offline system updates. Its description suggests that 'offline' updates - updates performed across a system reboot - are now the default method for graphical updating in Fedora 18 and later, at least when using GNOME. However, the feature's implementation is still somewhat incomplete: GNOME will still pop up notifications of available updates, and if you click on these notifications as you are encouraged to do, the 'online' update process (updates installed within the running system) will be launched.
This is not a major bug - the online update system still works, and while there are valid reasons why offline updates are slightly more robust, online updates are what Fedora used from Fedora Core 1 through Fedora 17 so there is no pressing reason to believe the use of online updates will be a disaster. Both mechanisms perform as intended in Fedora 19, and you can use the online update mechanism as safely in Fedora 19 as you ever did in a previous Fedora release. This note is included simply to explain the situation, in case you are confused as to what's going on.
If you want to trigger an offline update, use the "Install Updates and Restart" entry on the User menu.
biosdevname rather than systemd network interface names used by default
link to this item - Bugzilla: #965718
The Systemd predictable network interface names Feature of Fedora 19 is supposed to mean that network interface names will be set by systemd/udev following the upstream feature, rather than by the biosdevname tool which was introduced as part of the Fedora 15 consistent network device naming feature. The two systems have similar goals, but use different naming schemes.
In practice, as things have turned out with the final Fedora 19, the Fedora installer still uses biosdevname, and writes the interface names produced by biosdevname into the configuration files for each interface. The biosdevname
package is also still installed by default. We therefore expect that Fedora 19 will in fact mostly behave as if biosdevname is still the system in use, both on new installations and upgrades.
This should not cause any problems, but we felt the issue was worth noting in case the question arose as to why the new feature does not seem to be working, or in case certain corner cases appear in which the two systems conflict in some way.
DVD not available as a package repository after installation
link to this item - Bugzilla: #888307
In older releases of Fedora - at least older than Fedora 18 - after you installed from the DVD, it was automatically used as a repository for installing packages after system installation. Since Fedora 18, due to changes to the underlying tools, this function has no longer worked. We hope to be able to restore it soon, but cannot commit to a specific time frame.
A comment on the bug provides a partial workaround which will allow you to install packages from the DVD using the yum
Low battery warnings not showing up in LXDE live image
link to this item - Bugzilla: #975826
Fedora 19's original LXDE build relied on the xmessage
tool for printing 'low battery' notifications. However, this tool is not included by default in the LXDE live image. This means that these notifications will not show up unless you manually install the xorg-x11-apps
package. If it is important to you that you get low battery notifications when running the LXDE live image, please manually install the xorg-x11-apps
package. This issue affects fresh installs of LXDE as well, but an updated lxpanel will pull in the required package, so simply updating your system as usual will resolve the issue.
PHP cannot connect to MariaDB/MySQL using old password
link to this item - Bugzilla: #991070
When a MariaDB/MySQL database contains old users, created with old unsecure passwords, PHP (using mysqlnd driver) won't be able to connect:
PHP Warning: mysqli::mysqli(): (HY000/2000): mysqlnd cannot connect to MySQL 4.1+ using the old insecure authentication. Please use an administration tool to reset your password with the command SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('your_existing_password'). This will store a new, and more secure, hash value in mysql.user. If this user is used in other scripts executed by PHP 5.2 or earlier you might need to remove the old-passwords flag from your my.cnf file ...
Which means, you MUST remove old_password=1 from /etc/my.cnf, restart MariaDB/MySQL service and set a new password for each user.
Old passwords are stored as 16 char hash (in mysql.user table), while new passwords are stored as 41 char hash (starting with a *).

Multiple cases of "group (groupname) does not exist" errors when running yum
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1043207 - Bugzilla: #1014202 - Bugzilla: #1043221 - Bugzilla: #1043231
There are several similar and inter-related bugs in Fedora 19's Yum package manager which can cause it to print bogus warnings about groups not existing in certain circumstances. You may see any of these warning messages:
- Warning: group (groupname) does not exist.
- Warning: environment (groupname) does not exist.
- Warning: Environment Group (groupname) does not exist.
when running yum groupinstall (groupname)
, yum install @(groupname)
, or yum upgrade
after having once installed any package or environment group with yum groupinstall (groupname)
or yum install @(groupname)
. The most common and most visible case of this bug - where you see multiple instances of the first warning - will occur only if you have updated to yum-3.4.3-111.fc19 or higher, it does not affect earlier Fedora 19 versions of yum.
A less immediately visible but somewhat more significant issue is that, when you install an "environment group", yum fails to correctly keep track of which "package groups" were installed as a part of that "environment group" - it in fact never considers any package group to have been installed as part of an environment group. This means that running "yum group remove (environment group)" will not remove anything.
We have not yet discovered any very serious consequences of these bugs - they are mostly superficial, though they can be annoying. As far as we are currently aware, there is no possibility of data loss, or of the packaging system becoming seriously broken. It is safe to continue using your Fedora 19 system and working with packages, even if you see these messages. Some of the more advanced group functions related to the Fedora 19 "yum groups as objects" feature, however, will not perform as advertised.
Various 'workarounds' are possible, though all involve in some way interfering with the operation of the aforementioned Fedora 19 "yum groups as objects" feature. Probably the safest and most easily reversible is to run:
yum-config-manager --save --setopt=group_command=compat
This will configure yum to effectively disable the "groups as objects" feature and revert to the simple handling of groups it used prior to Fedora 19. The major drawback of this is that the yum group remove
command almost never does what you want in this configuration. Once the bugs discussed here are resolved, you can run:
yum-config-manager --save --setopt=group_command=objects
to return to "groups as objects" mode, if you wish. Another possible workaround is to run yum group mark remove (groupname)
for each affected group. This is a little more work, and also harder to reverse in future, but it is safe. It tells yum to consider the group in question as 'not installed', but will not lead to the removal of any packages unless you run a specific command or change a configuration setting.

yum groups mark convert command recommended by yum results in many additional packages being installed on yum update
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1043207
If you run certain yum commands, it may advise you to run a command yum groups mark convert
. This is related to the Fedora 19 "yum groups as objects" feature: it is intended to look at an existing Fedora system, work out which package groups are installed, and write that information out for the use of the "groups as objects" feature.
Testing has indicated that this command is too aggressive in determining which package groups are installed, and marks for instance groups from which only a single package is present on the system as being 'installed', even if that package was actually installed individually or as part of another group. As one of the "groups as objects" features is that not-currently-installed packages from installed groups will be added when running yum upgrade
, the result is that, on running yum upgrade
after yum groups mark convert
, yum will attempt to install many new packages, most of which you likely do not want.
If you have not yet run yum groups mark convert
, we advise for the present that you do not do so, regardless of yum's suggestion. If you have run the command and wish to prevent yum trying to install additional packages, there are several possibilities.
The easiest is to run yum-config-manager --save --setopt=group_command=compat
, which will have the effect of disabling the "groups as objects" functionality entirely, reverting yum to its pre-Fedora 19 handling of package groups. Unless you were interested in taking advantage of the "groups as objects" features, you will likely be happy with this behavior.
If you wish to try and maintain the "groups as objects" functionality (despite this bug and the others discussed above), you can run yum group list installed hidden -v
to print the list of groups that yum now believes is installed, and run yum group mark remove (groupname)
to tell yum to consider a group as 'not installed'. Do this for each of the groups you do not want, until yum no longer wishes to install additional packages you do not want.
yum reports duplicate packages installed, older version cannot be easily removed
link to this item - Bugzilla: #989145 - Bugzilla: #1028430 - Bugzilla: #1029006 - Bugzilla: #1017493 - Bugzilla: #905409 - Bugzilla: #947267
This note covers a category of issues, rather than a specific bug.
The RPM packaging system used by Fedora allows the execution of scripts, often known in context as 'scriptlets', at various points during the process of installing, removing and updating packages. In this context, RPM considers 'updating' a package to consist of installing the new package and then removing the old package, as two separate operations (in fact, all installation operations are run, and then all removal operations are run). A package can specify scriptlets to run:
- Before the entire transaction of which its installation and/or removal will be a part (%pretrans)
- Before it is installed (%pre)
- After it is installed (%post)
- Before it is removed (%preun)
- After it is removed (%postun)
- After the entire transaction of which its installation and/or removal will be a part (%posttrans)
An idiosyncracy of this system is that it can lead to bugs that are almost impossible to fix entirely. In particular, the %preun stage is vulnerable to this. If a package is ever built with a broken %preun scriptlet, then the game is almost entirely lost: you cannot really 'fix' a broken %preun scriptlet with an update, because of when the scriptlet is executed. 'Updating' to the new package consists of installing the new package and removing the old one, and the broken %preun scriptlet will be executed on removal of the old package. Ironically, in fact, if a packager notices a broken %preun scriptlet and ships an update to fix it, the very act of installing the update that fixes the broken scriptlet will trigger the broken scriptlet. When scriptlet execution fails, RPM will abort immediately and still consider the affected package to be installed, although all its files have already been removed (or updated to the newer version if the package was being updated rather than removed).
Sometimes we are able to work around this with clever tricks like inserting a hack in a scriptlet that we know will be executed before the broken %preun scriptlet which somehow works around the error, but this is not always practical. In general, if you are unfortunate enough to install a package with a broken %preun scriptlet (or, in certain circumstances, another broken scriptlet), it is likely you will wind up with a duplicate package database entry whenever you come to update or remove that package.
If you have been affected by this class of bug and now have a 'duplicate' package installed that you are having difficulty removing, it can usually be resolved by running:
rpm -e --noscripts --justdb (packagename-version)
Package versions known to have been affected by this type of issue within the last three releases include the following, though this cannot be known to be an exhaustive list:
- kde-settings-kdm-19-23.fc19
- nscd-2.17-13.fc19
- lightdm-1.4.0-2.fc18

Resolved issues
System fails to start correctly (due to qxl driver crash) when booting Fedora 19 as a virtual guest on a RHEL 6 host
link to this item - Bugzilla: #952666
It was reported that the xorg-x11-drv-qxl
driver in Fedora 19 crashed during X startup when trying to boot a Fedora 19 image in a virtual guest configured with qxl/SPICE graphics on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 host. This likely affected earlier versions of RHEL 6, clones of RHEL 6 such as CentOS, and possibly very old (and unsupported) Fedora releases as well.
To work around this issue, you configure your guest to use cirrus/VNC or vga/VNC instead of qxl/SPICE. This is really a bug on the host side rather than the guest side, and updates for RHEL should be made available soon after Fedora 19's release that should resolve this problem.
Several x-caja-desktop windows pop up on login to MATE desktop
link to this item - Bugzilla: #886029
Sometimes (the bug is due to a race condition and hence unpredictable), on boot of the Fedora 19 MATE live image or login with a user account to the MATE desktop, several useless windows labelled x-caja-desktop will open up on the desktop.
The bug has no further consequences and it is quite safe to simply close the windows and continue using the system.
X crashed on Fedora 19 32-bit VirtualBox guests with Guest Additions installed
link to this item - Bugzilla: #972095
Several testers reported that if you installed a 32-bit edition of Fedora 19 to a VirtualBox virtual machine and installed the Guest Additions, X would no longer start up successfully.
To work around the issue, you could not install the Guest Additions, or install a 64-bit edition of Fedora 19 rather than a 32-bit edition.

Chapter 18
Jesus explains how we are to treat our offending brethren—The Son of Man came to save that which was lost—All of the Twelve receive the keys of the kingdom—Jesus explains why we should forgive.
1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the agreatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little achildren, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall ahumble himself as this little bchild, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my aname receiveth me.
6 But whoso shall aoffend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 ¶ Woe unto the world because of aoffences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into ahell fire.
10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these alittle ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
11 For the aSon of man is come to bsave that which was clost.
12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred asheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these alittle ones should bperish.
15 ¶ Moreover if thy brother shall atrespass against thee, go and btell him his cfault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three awitnesses every word may be established.
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the achurch: but if he bneglect to hear the cchurch, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall abind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall aagree on earth as btouching any thing that they shall cask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
20 For where two or three are agathered btogether in my cname, there am I in the dmidst of them.
21 ¶ Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I aforgive him? till seven times?
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until aseventy times seven.
23 ¶ Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would atake account of his bservants.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be asold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him aan hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very asorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that adebt, because thou desiredst me:
33 aShouldest not thou also have had bcompassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had cpity on thee?
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts aforgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

"What you don't see coming hurts the most." - Mark Hunt
Martial arts has been a life saver for Mark "Super Samoan" Hunt. Raised in South Auckland, New Zealand, Hunt says he was once a young man with a chip on his shoulder.
"When you grow up with poor surroundings, poor people get angry. They get pissed off that they haven't got anything that everyone else has got. That's why I've got that chip I was talking about, people who don't have much get real upset. And martial arts saved me; actually God helped me through martial arts, saved me from being an angry person. There are a lot of kids out there like that."
Fighting has instilled discipline in Hunt, who takes on Stefan Struve this Saturday on UFC on FUEL TV 8 at the Saitama Super Arena in Japan.
"It takes a lot of hard work to be a martial artist and train all the time, takes a lot of dedication. There are a lot of easier things I could've done in my life, but this is what I was supposed to be. It's God's plan."
A father of five, the 38-year-old Australia-based Hunt says one of his children may yet follow him into fighting.
"My youngest son loves fighting. I'll support him in whatever he wants to do. He loves fighting because I'm doing it. He's only five years old."
Formerly a kickboxer and the 2001 K-1 Kickboxing World Grand Prix champion, then an MMA fighter in Japan's PRIDE FC, Hunt has seen spectacular highs and lows in the fight game, but he believes his long martial arts journey gives him a key advantage over Stefan Struve, who is aged just 25.
"I've been fighting longer than he's been born, 26 years of martial arts and he's only 24 or 25 so I've got a lot more experience than he does. He's just got his youth, that's all."
Standing at 7 feet tall, Struve is the tallest fighter on the UFC roster. Struve is 9-3 in the UFC and on a four fight win streak. But the 5-10 Hunt doesn't see many threats from the Dutch fighter aside from his formidable height and reach.
"He's a tall kid who's been blessed with being a big person. He's good at jiu-jitsu but that's all it is. I've got a lot more experience than he does."
In 2011, Hunt staged an impressive career turnaround. After a six fight losing streak, he scored a second round knockout over Chris Tuchscherer and a grueling decision victory over the favored Ben Rothwell. In 2012, Hunt earned another upset victory with a first round TKO over veteran Cheick Kongo. His comeback even inspired a spirited Twitter campaign from fans rallying to get him a championship fight. He didn't get a title shot, but with momentum on his side, he was scheduled to fight Struve in May of 2012. Misfortune struck as Hunt suffered a knee injury and was forced to withdraw from the bout. In his understated style, he admits being sidelined for so long has been difficult.
"I'm looking forward to it (fighting again). It didn't really help with this injury, it just happened and it was just a setback for a while and it's hard to train with a leg injured like that. We'll see how it goes in a couple of weeks. Gonna party (laughs)."
While he has previously trained with American Top Team in Florida, this time he's prepared more locally.
"I started off in New Zealand doing modified strongman work; now I'm back here (in Australia) training with the local guys, so it's pretty good."
Hunt has worked with a 6-7 jiu-jitsu player to prepare for Struve. It's a wise move given that the rangy Dutch fighter holds four UFC wins by submission. Hunt, best known as a granite chinned knockout artist, has fallen prey to submissions in the past.
"I've trained with a tall guy for my jiu-jitsu, his name's Marco (Carlos Gracie black belt Marco Villela)."
But when asked if he's found any tall sparring partners for the standup, Hunt replies with more of the candid humility he's become known for.
"I had a little bit of training with a couple of boxers, a couple of kick fighters. It hasn't been too great at all, but I get what I can get."
This fight marks another return to Japan for Hunt, the country where he has fought for much of his career. And he recently enjoyed a stint on one of Japan's famously bizarre game shows, participating in a tug of war alongside Alistair Overeem and among other notable fighters. Novelty factor aside, Hunt displayed some impressive strength as he beat a sumo wrestler, gigantic MMA fighter Bob Sapp, and a professional strongman to be crowned champion.
"Yeah I loved doing that show; it's good for my popularity over there. Fighting is fighting, but it's all part of it, so it's great. They had a few other fighters there like Alistair (Overeem), Bob (Sapp), and it was great. I had a lot of fun."
While Hunt is once again the underdog against Struve, that's nothing new for the "Super Samoan," who was once the unheralded fighter from New Zealand who won the K-1 Grand Prix, then the PRIDE newcomer who beat legend Wanderlei Silva, and now the UFC fighter who is in the midst of an unlikely comeback. When asked about his status as underdog, Hunt cites a maxim from the standup game.
"It's good, I like it that way. What you don't see coming hurts the most. I don't mind being the underdog, it's fine."

It's not pleasant to think about the possibility of being unable to make your own medical or financial decisions. But taking the time to express your wishes in advance could help ensure that your health-care and financial affairs are handled as you wish and that your loved ones feel more confident about any decisions made on your behalf.
Here are three legal documents you might consider. The first two deal with health-care issues, and in some states may be combined into a single document called an advance health-care or medical directive. Requirements for all of these documents vary by state, so be sure to consult with an attorney who is familiar with the laws of your state.
Living will — Allows you to outline which medical procedures you would want to be used to prolong your life, typically in the event of a terminal illness or injury. It might also include instructions on pain management and other specific wishes. In some states, a living will may be called by a different name, such as health-care declaration or instructions for health care.
Durable power of attorney for health care (health-care proxy) — Enables you to appoint a representative to make medical decisions for you in the event you are unable to make them yourself. You can appoint anyone of legal age (usually 18 or older) and specify how much power your agent will have. The document should be HIPAA compliant so your representative can access your private medical information.
Durable power of attorney for finances (DPOA) — Enables you to authorize someone to act on your behalf in financial and legal matters. The person you designate as your agent could pay everyday expenses, watch over your investments, and file taxes, among other tasks. A DPOA may become effective immediately or when a triggering event occurs, such as a doctor certifying that you are physically or mentally incapacitated.
You can select the same person to serve as the agent for your health-care and financial powers of attorney, but you aren't required to do so. Be sure to discuss your wishes with the person you select and let him or her know where you keep the documents. Consider giving copies to your representative, your doctor, and key family members, and review these documents regularly to make sure they continue to express your wishes. If you move to a different state, you may need to create new documents for that state. There may be costs associated with the creation and maintenance of these legal instruments.

I have a new friend I'd like you to meet. I've never had a friend like her before – she's fast and easy. So I was skeptical when my parents, of all people, insisted I would like her.
I don't like her, I love her. Readers meet Miss Cuisinart.
She is now my new best friend. Pie crusts are a snap thanks to her. She's also really neat; I no longer have to suffer sticky fingers and counter tops; she keeps everything to herself.
In full disclosure, our relationship was a bit bumpy at first. I wasn't sure when her dough needed more water or was ready to come out, and she wasn't forthright with me. So last time my mom visited, she conducted an intervention between Miss C. and me. Mom gave me suggestions such as how much water to add and how much to pulse. She did not give Miss C. any suggestions though; I guess I was the source of all our problems.
After that, Miss C. and I made pate brisee, a French buttery crust that is wonderful for pies and tarts. We also made a basic sweet pie crust for strawberry pie (coming soon). I was so elated at this turn of events, I would have kept making more crusts, but how many pies can two people eat?
Though Miss C. and I are tight now, I still won't invite her over when I make homemade pizza dough. Pizza dough is always made by hand; I'm just old school that way.
If you're looking for a new friend to hang out with in the kitchen, Miss C. has lots of sisters; you can find them at the Cuisinart site. So go ahead and splurge. OK, maybe not on the $800 one, (we are in a recession after all) but perhaps on the $150 or $200 model. She'll be one of the most reliable friends you've ever had.
My pate brisee (from Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook) is the basis of this savory galette. A galette, which I like to call the "Lazy Susan's Pie," is an open-faced, free form pie that can be filled with savory or sweet fillings. Think of galettes as low maintenance pies-- they don't have to look perfect; a few little cracks are "rustic."
I made a savory filling of hot Italian sausage, crisp fresh fennel, salty sun-dried tomatoes, and rich smoked mozzarella. Though the aroma will entice you to eat two or three pieces, I'd suggest just one; the crust is rich, and buttery, and the filling is, well, filling. Serve it as an appetizer or with a simple side salad of arugula and cherry tomatoes for a dinner.
Savory Sausage and Fennel Galette
Serves 6-8
Pate Brisee:
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, cold, cut into small pieces
1/8 cup ice water, plus more if needed
Filling: (from Food Blogga)
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 pound hot fennel sausage, removed from the casing
1 medium fennel bulb, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons sugar
6 sun-dried tomatoes, soaked in oil, patted dry and thinly sliced
1 cup shredded smoked mozzarella
1/4 cup chopped fresh sage
1/4 cup chopped fresh rosemary
1 egg, lightly beaten, and 1/2 teaspoon water for egg wash
In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour and salt; pulse to combine. Add the butter, and pulse until mixture coarse crumbs with some larger pieces remaining, about 10 seconds. (To mix by hand, combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, then cut in butter with a pastry blender.)
With the machine running, add the ice water through the feed tube in a a slow, steady stream, just until dough holds together without being wet or sticky. Do not process more than 30 seconds. Test by squeezing a small amount of the dough together; if it is still too crumbly, add a bit more water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Turn out the dough onto a clean work surface. Divide in half, and place each half a piece of plastic wrap. Shape into flattened disks. Wrap in plastic, and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight. (The dough can be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before using.)
To make the filling, warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and sausage, stirring occasionally until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes. Add sliced fennel and sugar, and continue sauteing until sausage is cooked through and vegetables are lightly browned, another 3-4 minutes. Add sun-dried tomatoes, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat, and stir in smoked mozzarella and fresh herbs, until well combined.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer dough to a large parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until ready to use, up to 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Arrange filling on top of dough, leaving a 2-inch border all the way around. Fold the border over the filling, overlapping where necessary and pressing gently to adhere the folds.
Brush dough with egg wash. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and the filing is crispy. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack to cool the galette. Serve warm or at room temperature.
(The second piece of dough can be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before using.)

Heads up!
Wow. This is so stinkin' sexy, I almost didn't even notice the outie belly button.
Because fetus cookies are SO last year:
Goes great with mother's milk.
And lots of screaming.
Proving once again that bakers are takings posts on this blog as inspiration:
I'm torn (ha! Ew.) between asking what that gray pouch thing hanging out is and desperately, desperately, not wanting to know. In fact, know what? Don't tell me. I'm never having kids, so knowing what the inner lining's poop chute or whatever looks like is just one of those things I never need to know. Seriously. Leave me to my blissful ignorance.
And finally, look. I realize that a lot of talent was required to make some of these wrecks - I do! However, no amount of talent will ever make any part of this look yummy to me:
Or, in other words:
Thanks to Matt R., Sarah M., Carl G., & Heather A. for today's gut-busters. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to skip lunch.

Reinforcement Learning is a subfield of Machine Learning, but is also a general purpose formalism for automated decision-making and AI. This course introduces you to statistical learning techniques where an agent explicitly takes actions and interacts with the world. Understanding the importance and challenges of learning agents that make decisions is of vital importance today, with more and more companies interested in interactive agents and intelligent decision-making.

Ministers defy charities to uphold parents' right to smack(The on-line version has a different title.) The article goes on:
As can be gleaned from the prevalence of the word smack in the article (and more generally in the national debate on the topic), this is the normal BrE way to refer to striking a child as a disciplinary measure. As the OED defines smack:The government yesterday reasserted parents' right to smack their children despite overwhelming opposition from charities.
Kevin Brennan, the children's minister, said there was no reason to change the law introduced three years ago permitting smacking if it does not leave visible bruising, scratches or reddening of the skin.
After a review of the legislation, he told MPs: "Smacking is becoming a less commonly used form of discipline. While many parents say they will not smack, a majority say smacking should not be banned outright."
5. a. To strike (a person, part of the body, etc.) with the open hand or with something having a flat surface; to slap. Also spec. to chastise (a child) in this manner and fig.Smack is generally not used in this way in AmE, as can be seen from the American Heritage Dictionary definition:
v.tr.Of course, the final sense there could be used to describe hitting children with an open hand, but it's just not used that way as routinely in AmE as it is in BrE. In BrE, the Guardian headline seems clear. In AmE, I might misunderstand it as 'parents' right to kiss noisily' or 'parents' right to heroin.' (Smack = 'heroin' is originally AmE slang.)
1. To press together and open (the lips) quickly and noisily, as in eating or tasting.
2. To kiss noisily.
3. To strike sharply and with a loud noise.
In AmE, one speaks more naturally of spanking children, but of course spank≠smack, since spank (at least in AmE) specifies that it is the bottom that is hit (typically with an open hand, but possibly with a paddle or other instrument), whereas smacking doesn't (although it may be the case that most--or at least the most prototypical--child-smacking is on bottoms). I asked Better Half whether he'd usually refer to bottom-smacking as spanking or smacking, and he felt that he'd tend to use smack to talk about hitting children because spank (to his BrE ear) has sexual overtones. (The first thing he said upon hearing spank was spank the monkey. What a naughty boy.) The OED lists spank as 'dialectal or colloquial', and does not specify that it has to be on the bottom:
1. a. trans. To slap or smack (a person, esp. a child) with the open hand.This UK site has spank as 'slang', but it is not slang in AmE--and not sexual unless clearly used in a sexual context.
Searching for spank on the Guardian website, I find that it doesn't occur in the current articles on the 'smacking debate' but that it does occur in articles on sport, music (due to a hiphop group called Spank Rock) and sex. So, there's little evidence that the AmE usage of spank for child-bottom-hitting is making its way into BrE. But since the OED entries have not been updated since 1989, it'll be interesting to see if they pick up on any changes in their next updates.

You know it's getting close to Opening Day when spring training games move to "real MLB stadia," as SoSG Sax would say. And you know another SoSG meme has died on the vine when the Dodgers get thumped by Cleveland 6-1 in their 2011 Camelback swan song. Sorry, Scary Spice!
Dodger Stadium opens its gates tonight as it hosts two of the Dodgers' final three spring training games: tonight versus the Angels and Wednesday versus the Mariners. The Angels seem to be facing as many on-field issues as the Dodgers, so tonight's game will clarify exactly nothing. Play meaningless ball!

I repeat: it's a gray-taupe contour shade. Chanel didn't even give me a chance to hate it (swatches here).
As much as possible, I mirrored the makeup look in Chanel's Fall 2012 show. I pondered for a quick second how I was going to bling my brows, then gave up.

Social audits from SGS measure your organization's performance against a range of factors helping you to meet customer and consumer expectations.
Increasingly, business customers and consumers are differentiating brands – and making their purchasing decisions – on the basis of "ethical" factors. These cover an organization's approach to: corporate social responsibility (CSR), compliance and code of conduct; ethical trading; human rights; labor regulations, including health and safety; and responsible production practices.
Using our network of highly skilled and experienced experts, SGS can measure your performance against these factors through a range of social audits:
- Social Responsibility: ISO 26000 is a Guidance document, though not an auditable standard, outlining social responsibility best practices, which allows organizations to measure performance in terms of sustainable development, the health and welfare of society, and legal compliance.
- amfori BSCI: amfori BSCI is a leading supply chain management system that supports companies to drive social compliance and improvements within the factories and farms in their global supply chains.
- Code of Conduct: SGS provides organizations with independent and impartial code of conduct audit services which can be aligned to local legislation, international norms or clients' own Codes.
- Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI):Representing ethical best practice, the tri-partite ETI Base Code has been adopted by its members – and other retailers and brands.
- Initiative for Compliance and Sustainability (ICS):The French Federation of Retailers (FCD) designed the ICS scheme to encourage suppliers to comply with universal human rights principles, as well as with local labor regulations.
- SEDEX Member's Ethical Trade Audit (SMETA):SEDEX helps organizations manage data on labor practices, health & safety, environment and business ethics in their supply chain. SMETA covers ETI Base Code principles and additionally reviews performance against human rights, land rights, responsible recruitment practices, the right to work of migrant workers, management systems implementation and the presence of sub-contracting and home working.
- Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP):WRAP is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion and certification of lawful, humane, and ethical manufacturing throughout the world.
Industry Codes
Increasingly industry bodies are collaborating to develop Codes of Conduct specifically targeting known issues in their sectors. The ICTI Care program for the toy industry, the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) for electronic industry and Responsible Jewelry Council certification are just a few such schemes that SGS works with.
Contact SGS to discover how we can measure your performance against a range of social audit factors.

Name: Dan Bell
Age: 27
Lives: Liverpool Street, London
Favourite Beer Style: IPA
'I guess it would be my first pub job. After years of drinking cheap lager at university, that first job with Ember Inns introduced me to real ale. Having a rotating guest line of ales meant something new to try all the time. It showed me the world of flavours and diversity of styles that are possible with beer and how they can come together to make something truly special. Then, being trained to take care of the beers and making sure they were perfect from cask to glass, really added to the interest. Since then I've been hooked!'
'Just over 5 years, I started with Ember Inns in April 2012 and then moved to Nicholson's the year after.'
'It's tough but rewarding! The first thing I do is check that every beer we have on tap is still up to the Cask Marque and also the personal standards that we have by making sure they are at temperature, taste amazing and look brilliant. After that it's down to the cellar. We have lots of great checks and systems in place to make sure that correct rotation, stillaging, conditioning and cleaning take place, which leads to a perfect serve.
I check all of these on a daily basis, ensuring we've got plenty of perfectly conditioned beer ready to go. This is easily the most rewarding part as you know you're making sure that your beer has the best serve. Then it's onto cleaning, making sure we've got a tidy, clean and great looking cellar and that any empty racks are filled and ready to go. Then it's back to the bar to brief the team on what's on, encouraging them to try it and get excited about what we sell. Lastly, it's making sure that every pint sent over the bar is the best it can be and that our guests love what they drink!'
'At the moment it would have to be Kernel - they've been making outstanding beers for a while now and I haven't yet had a stinker from them. Their classic IPA is just outstanding but it packs a punch- it's a tragedy they got rid of the bar at the brewery!'
'Unfiltered and unpasteurised Pilsner Urquell. Myself and my district were lucky enough to try it straight from the maturation barrels in the bierkeller at the Pilsner Urquell brewery in Pilsen. If you've never tried it, it's worth the price of the trip (and also Prague and Pilsen are brilliant!) the single most amazing glass of beer I've ever tasted. I wouldn't be able to do it justice by trying to describe it but trust me, that trip is a regular one now!'
'I think it would have to be Bacchus Bar in Birmingham. It has the most amazing interior, with little hidden nooks and crannies everywhere and an almost medieval setting - it's really quite a sight! The drinks are always outstanding and the staff lovely. They've got an amazing pub going and it's always a stop for me when I'm in Birmingham!'
'In the UK it would have to be Bermondsey - the beer mile is brilliant! With so many breweries packed into the railway arches, it makes for a great day out. You get a fantastic mix of cask, craft and bottled beers and each brewery has a unique feel and atmosphere and of course, beers! The fact that you've also got the food market and artisan food stalls all down the mile only adds to the experience. It's definitely worth a day out if you haven't tried it yet.
Outside of the UK, it would be the US - the craft beer scene there is just insane. Any bar you go to will have something you've never tried as it feels like there's breweries in almost every town! However, I've heard amazing things about Norway and Denmark and tasted some very very impressive beers, so they're next on the list to visit'
'You need to have the drive for it, definitely! It's a really rewarding job as you get to see the results of your work in front of you, being enjoyed by the guests - but it does take some hard grafting.
A keen eye, palette and high standards are also great to have as they will keep you on top of your beer, making sure it's all up to scratch. I would also say that it's not just about the beer - some of the most engaging Cask Masters I've met have had passion to talk about all types of drinks - whether gin, whisky, beer, wine or any other - having that passion is essential in being a Cask Master. If guests can see that you love the product you're talking about they will give it a try and discover something new and brilliant. Lastly, it pays to be adventurous: the more you try, the more you will get to see that beer is one of the most amazing, diverse, and delicious drinks in the world - don't be afraid to try something new!'
