Bug-by-bug detail
=============
Accepted blockers
-----------------
1. sddm — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1929643 — NEW
logout after switch returns the user to console instead of sddm
Using the "Switch User" functionality in sddm results in dropping to a
console: either to tty2 with a working text login prompt, or to tty1
where only a blinking cursor appears (no login prompt). This islimited
to Wayland sessions. FEDORA-2021-87d6b51834 partially fixes this, but
we may still need to consider deferring the Wayland-by-default for KDE
Plasma change.
2. shim — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1938630 — POST
include new bootloaders on Fedora 34 install media so UEFI Secure Boot
enabled systems can boot from them
The current shim was signed in 2018 and its signing key was revoked
last year due to the Boothole vulnerability. We need a new shim to
make sure F34 images will boot on machines with Secure Boot enabled.
shim-unsigned-x64-15.4-4.fc33 fixes bugs discovered during testing of
the latest update, but it needs to be signed before we can release.
3. uboot-tools — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1946278 — ASSIGNED
latest uboot fails to load the dtb
Recent uboot releases fail to load the dtb. Some supported systems
boot using dtb provided by firmware, but others will not boot.
Proposed blockers
-----------------
1. plasma-discover — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1903294 — ON_QA
plasma-discover doesnt refresh metadata
Clicking the "refresh" button on plasma-discover does not update the
metadata. The root cause is an apparent PackageKit bug. As a
short-term fix, FEDORA-2021-4cb56488da changes plasma-discover to tell
PackageKit to force a refresh, which gets us the desired behavior.
2. virt-manager — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1950258 — NEW
USB flash disk cannot be mounted into a virtual machine.
With F34 hosts, guests can see the existence USB flash disks but
cannot read them. This is independent of guest OS version and the
SELinux settings on both host and guest. F33 hosts do not display this
behavior.

2021-04-15 dnf broken in rawhide?
by Ankur Sinha
Hiya,
I'm trying to build a new package for rawhide but keep running into this
error on koji:
Error:
Problem: package dnf-plugins-core-4.0.19-1.fc34.noarch requires python3-dnf-plugins-core = 4.0.19-1.fc34, but none of the providers can be installed
- package dnf-4.7.0-1.fc35.noarch conflicts with python3-dnf-plugins-core < 4.0.20 provided by python3-dnf-plugins-core-4.0.19-1.fc34.noarch
- conflicting requests
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)
Anyone else running into this? Known issue?

Thanks,
Regards,

Announcing creation of Fedora Source-git SIG
by Tomas Tomecek
Good morning, I'd like to announce the creation of Fedora Source-git SIG:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Source-git
Our main goal in the SIG right now is to establish a development
workflow for Fedora Linux packages using repositories with sources and
upstream history (this is what we call source-git), instead of just
distribution files with links to tarballs (dist-git).
Please head to the SIG wiki page to learn more about our proposed MVP.
We are looking for maintainers of Fedora Linux packages who'd be
interested in being early adopters and give us feedback during the
development process. You don't need to do any coding unless you want
to :)
With this email, I'd like to invite you to our first SIG meeting
hosted on freenode IRC next week. The details will be specified by
this Friday, please fill in "when is good" so we can pick a suitable
time:
https://whenisgood.net/bsyhsqq
Regards,
Tomas
