The new Fedora Live USB Creator that is being finished has an overhauled, more user friendly interface. Because USB sticks are the most common way to install Fedora, it should be the primary download option. It cover the whole installation media creation, it lets the user pick the right flavor of Fedora, downloads its image, and copies it to a USB drive. It will provide an easy-to-use tool for all major platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac OS X) which will be offered to users as the primary download option. That should generally lower the barrier for potential users to try and install Fedora. To make the above endeavor successful ,  Fedora QA team is organizing an Fedora Media Writer Test Day. What will we be testing ? 1.Installing Fedora Media Writer 2.Writing Fedora images to the USB flash drive 3.Booting up and verifying the USB How to participate? This is an open to all event, everyone can participate by going to the test page . Feel free to ask a  specific query either

This article will talk about the rewrite of the live-usb creator for Windows which is Fedora Media Writer . Requites for the process 1.Admin Privileges of the system 2. HDD space of about 5GB 3.Flash Drive of 8BG 4.Good internet access Steps to follow 1. Download the .zip file from here [Thanks To Martin!] 2. Extract and zip and run liveusb-creator.exe with admin privilege ** Before you race off  and run the rest of  steps. A point to note that you will require a good amount of space in the hard disk partition as the Fedora Media Writer will be downloading the image in this folder before writing it to your USB. ** Make sure the USB flash drive is blank as this process will be wiping all the data before writing Fedora in it.                                       Fedora Media Writer Select the Fedora distribution you want to go ahead with                                      After downloading you can verify the image here Now after  you are done writing to the

This post will talk about how you can test Fedora Media Writer AKA LUC on Windows. First for all you can download the .exe file from [ https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/ ]  After installation, here is how you can create Live USB for Fedora in a jiffy.                                                                   Format Your Flash Drive to FAT 32. Execute the installed program as an "Admin" There are two ways of picking the source of the image, First is by taking up .ISO file by browsing or by waiting for the image to get populated from where you can directly get it to your USB.You need to select or hit the refresh button to populate the list of your removable devices. The present architecture used my me for the demo is x86_x64 , Intel core i5 4th Gen with 8 Gb memory.I booted it with UEFI. I have used the Fedora 24 1.7 Alpha Workstation x86_x64.Always, try Fedora and verify the basic functioning. I have done the ba

This article is about Live USB Creator which is a tool which may become the primary download for Workstation (so instead of an ISO file). Install Package: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=747138 By default my download directory is Download and I am executing the syntax below as "su" dnf install liveusb-creator-3.91.0-1.fc22.noarch.rpm ** if you get run "dnf install PyQt5  isomd5sum  pyparted  python-pyquery qt5-qtquickcontrols syslinux  syslinux-extlinux " Once installed , you can run it by simply executing "liveusb-creator" ** if you get    run "dnf install qt5-qtgraphicaleffects" After this you will be able to run the "LUC" This will be downloading the whole OS. After downloading you will prompted to write to disk,after completion You can live boot any system with the OS installed POC                                                                    Works fine!

In my last post , I talked about how you can start with Fedora QA in Bodhi.This post will focus on running Test Cases and How to go ahead with one. What is a Test Case? Test Case is a set of scenarios wherein , you as a tester will need to follow the steps and replicate those and see if you get any issues or errors. Once done you can just go ahead and give the "Test case" on Bodhi "+1" in the Karma.                                                                                                         This is Bodhi for Nmap , testing this will require you to complete the test case "Nmap" which is given.                                First of all, you need to install all the required packages.This can be found in the Setup section. I have started my installation of all the packages.                               All the required packages are now installed and we are now ready to move forward. One of the test case
