2025-09-01 @ 16:00 UTC - Fedora 43 Blocker Review Meeting
by Adam Williamson 31 Aug '25

# F43 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2025-09-01 # Time: 16:00 UTC # Location: https://matrix.to/#/#blocker-review:fedoraproject.org?web-instance[element.… Hi folks! It's time for a Fedora 43 blocker review meeting! We have 1 proposed blocker and 7 proposed freeze exceptions for Beta, and 5 proposed blockers for Final. Here is a handy link which should show you the meeting time in your local time: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Fedora+41+Blocker… The meeting will be on Matrix. Click the link above to join in a web client - you can authenticate with your FAS account - or use a dedicated client of your choosing. If you have time today, you can take a look at the proposed or accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ . Remember, you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings! If you look at the bug list in the blockerbugs app, you'll see links labeled "Vote!" next to all proposed blockers and freeze exceptions. Those links take you to tickets where you can vote. https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review has instructions on how exactly you do it. We usually go through the tickets shortly before the meeting and apply any clear votes, so the meeting will just cover bugs where there wasn't a clear outcome in the ticket voting yet. **THIS MEANS IF YOU VOTE NOW, THE MEETING WILL BE SHORTER!** We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F43 can be found on the wiki [0]. For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process, check out these links: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out the SOP on the wiki: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting Have a good weekend and see you on Monday!

KDE Plasma mount option with BD-R Data disk
by Robin Laing 29 Aug '25

29 Aug '25

I have started to archive data to BD-R disks. I am just starting this process and have already run into a problem. I burn the disk and it checks okay. I put the disk into the BD drive and get a notice that the disk is there. If I right click on the BD icon in "Disks and Devices" pop-up, I only have the option to Copy with K3B. No mount option. This is the same on F41 and F42. I want the option to load the disk as if it is an external USB drive. For my usage, the file manager is not useful for my purposes. I have looked through the settings to see if I can make a change but cannot find out how it is done. It looks like I will have to figure this out for data DVDs as well. Also, there is no method to unmount the drive in the "Disks and Devices" menu until another device is added. I did find a very old bug for no display to unmount the drive that was fixed. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=439412 I don't want automount. Only suggestion I could find was to install a Gnome disk tool. Robin

Proposal: Limit release-blocking status of BIOS systems to just certain scenarios
by Kamil Paral 27 Aug '25

27 Aug '25

Hi folks, we have published a release criteria change proposal at Fedora Discussion: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/proposal-limit-release-blocking-stat… This is a notification to make sure everybody can see it and post feedback, even when not watching Fedora Discussion regularly. When replying, **please**, reply to the Discussion topic. Logging in through FAS is trivial. We want a unified discussion in one place, instead of having it split between multiple places. Thank you.

plasma/xorg considered evil
by Neal Becker 19 Aug '25

19 Aug '25

I just had a bad experience with plasma/xorg. I used plasma/wayland normally. When troubleshooting why cut/paste doesn't work with a remote AVD desktop, I tried logging in locally with plasma/xorg. Didn't fix my cut/paste problem, but after that I had strange problems: 1. kde login took MUCH longer than before 2. I have a panel at the screen bottom. When maximizing a window the window will respect the panel, not expanding over the region covered by the panel. But after trying plasma/xorg this was no longer true. Maximizing a window would cause part to hide under the panel. This was basically unusable for me. I tried changing settings in panel for visibility, etc. These changes had no effect at all. Finally I just mv'd ~/.config and started over. That almost worked except: 3. Starting with a new config, 1st I added virtual desktops. After configuring 6 virt desktops in the gui, I had 2 desktop pager widgets. I did not see any way to remove the redundant one. Finally I just manually edited ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc to remove the redundant taskmanager. -- *Those who don't understand recursion are doomed to repeat it*

External monitor issues - Fedora 42 KDE Plasma
by Sbob 19 Aug '25

19 Aug '25

All; I have Fedora 42 KDE Plasma installed on a Lenovo Legion 9 I have a Lenovo docking station and 2 external monitors - a dell U3223QE (Dell UltraSharp 32 Inch 4K Computer Monitor) - a samsung OdysseyG95Nc (57" Dual 4K UHD (7680 x 2160) 240Hz Curved Screen Monitor) Every once in awhile, maybe 2 -3 times a week when I wake the laptop from sleep the external monitors show 'waiting for signal' and the laptop no longer see's them. The only fix I have found is to reboot, unplugging and reconnecting the docking station does not help Thanks in advance for any help
