So here's some results. f2e707287dd82cccb05a3fef6b75cb356744ca58 (Jun 14), no update: 1019215872 f2e707287dd82cccb05a3fef6b75cb356744ca58 (Jun 14), update: 1017118720 1a0c28fdf638796bda60ed2785f95eac16a85b65 (Jun 22), update: 1005584384 that is, with the old spin-kickstarts and without the above update, we're 19215872 bytes oversize; with the update but old spin-kickstarts, we're 17118720 bytes oversize (the update saves ~2.1MB); and with the update and latest spin-kickstarts, we're 5584384 bytes oversize (the kickstart changes save ~11.5MB). We still need to find another 5.6MB from somewhere.

Fedora 19 Final TC5 desktop testing
by Adam Williamson 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

Hi, folks! There's been substantial churn in F19 lately, but from some smoke testing, Final TC5 looks like a basically working build that includes most of the major change we need for final. At this point, 10 days before go/no-go, we really need to do all the desktop validation testing and pin down any showstopper issues that remain. If folks could grab the TC5 Live images from here: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/19-TC5/Live/ (KDE, GNOME) https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/19-TC5/Spins/ (others) and help us to fill out the tests at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_19_Final_TC5_Desktop , it'd be a really big help. Just run any of the tests you can for your desktop, file bugs on any failures you hit, and mark your results in the tables according to the key. It'd be especially good to have help with the deceptively large test case https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_desktop_menus , which is basically 'run every app installed by default and make sure it works'. If you do hit problems with any of the tests, first check at https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/19/final/buglist to see if they've been reported as blocker or freeze exception bugs already. If you hit a serious new failure of a test on KDE or GNOME, mark the bug as blocking the bug 'FinalBlocker' (ideally with reference to a criterion at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_19_Final_Release_Criteria , but if you're not good at criteria ju-jitsu that's OK), or use the blocker proposal web app - https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/propose_bug - to propose it as a blocker. If you hit serious failure of a test on any of the other desktops, mark the bug as blocking the bug 'FinalFreezeException', or use the webapp to propose it as a freeze exception issue. I have tested that at least each image can boot to a desktop and run the installer; none of them is entirely DOA. Note, testing in virtualization, you *may* run into https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=974198 ; if so, passing 'nomodeset' should work around it for now. If you get lost or confused by the process at any point, but you think you've found an important issue, don't hesitate to holler at me or anyone else in QA or release engineering, on list, by direct mail or on IRC. Thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

I just did a quick triage run through the RH bugs, and now it looks like this: 923102 CLOSED ERRATA - crash in intel_pstate_timer_func on virtualization 923364 CLOSED ERRATA - [3.7.92] Despite moving mouse in Black Screen(Blank Screen), gnome-shell doesn't switch to unlock screen 923994 CLOSED ERRATA - gdm has no user list 924229 NEW - unabel to boot fedora installed from liveCD - propably EFI bootloader? 924264 NEW - cannot be selected as a default app 924266 NEW - Cannot close an application in Activities if a modal window is currently blocking it (for Shotwell and Revelation) 924273 NEW - crash when viewing shotwell imported image 924277 CLOSED DUPLICATE - crash when scrolling 924285 CLOSED ERRATA - crash when doing organizing 924290 CLOSED NOTABUG - no quit super menu item 924295 CLOSED ERRATA - print option does nothing 924303 NEW - searching photos cannot be turned on/off 924306 CLOSED CURRENTRELEASE - SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-localed from 'search' accesses on the directory xorg.conf.d. 924312 CLOSED ERRATA - favourite icon is sooo ugly and should be placed better 924315 CLOSED ERRATA - no options bar after first right click on picture 924329 NEW - print test page does nothing 924343 NEW - after switching on/off stealth mode the other options state is not preserved 924360 NEW - Keyboard layout set on login screen doesn't persist after login 924368 NEW - svg not supported 924370 NEW - combo box disappears after first click 924371 CLOSED ERRATA - Set keyboard layout on one place only 924376 NEW - cannot zoom 924378 NEW - Unable to login as another user from the lock screen if the current user has no password 924379 NEW - cannot zoom with numerical +/- 924385 NEW - nouveau: graphic corruption after while 924392 CLOSED CURRENTRELEASE - Seahorse segfaults on startup 924396 CLOSED RAWHIDE - gnome-shell switching to All applications is very slow 924403 NEW - dragging icon of running Firefox to new workspace creates and destroys the workspace 924409 NEW - The master volume slider is not updated when changing volume 924699 CLOSED DUPLICATE - SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/gdm-session-worker from 'write' accesses on the file .pwd.lock. 924776 CLOSED ERRATA - SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-localed from 'unlink' accesses on the file 00-keyboard.conf. 924795 NEW - No users on gdm when using "switch user" feature 924800 CLOSED ERRATA - root account in "User" dialog 924808 NEW - Shotwell is always opened on firs workspace 924813 NEW - Hide "enable account" for users with no password 924816 CLOSED ERRATA - Weird behavior of lock screen / gdm 927327 NEW - gnome-settings-daemon should cap maximum resolution at 2048 pixels in either dimension on Intel adapters that lose 3D acceleration above 2048 950051 NEW - I can add multiple alarms on same time 950062 NEW - Alarm doesn't run in background Closed some more out, but confirmed quite a lot more are still valid 3 months later (some are NEEDINFO, unfortunately my dumb 'bug list' command doesn't identify needinfo'ed bugs). Desktop team...I know you have this thing about not reading RH bugs...but it really does mean you miss out on what looks like some valuable information. Can't it be re-considered? Couldn't you at least task someone to take a sweep through the Test Day bugs? -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

ARM spin explosion in spin-kickstarts
by Bill Nottingham 10 Jun '13

10 Jun '13

Note that there appears to be a large explosion in spin-kickstarts as some maintainers (and Dennis) rearrange things in order to make ARM spins. It may be worth having someone from the desktop spin look over that and make changes as necessary. Bill
