[Test-Announce]2025-10-20 @ 16:00 UTC - Fedora 43 Blocker Review Meeting
by Adam Williamson 19 Oct '25

19 Oct '25

# F43 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2025-10-20 # 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 3 proposed blockers and 7 proposed freeze exceptions 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+43+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 this weekend, 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!

[Test-Announce]Fedora Linux 43 Final is NO-GO
by Aoife Moloney 16 Oct '25

16 Oct '25

Due to outstanding blocker bugs[1] and insufficient testing coverage, F43 Final RC-1.4 was declared NO-GO in today's Go/No-GO meeting. The next Fedora Linux 43 Final Go/No-Go meeting[2] will be held at 1700 UTC on Thursday, October 23 in #fedora-meeting on matrix[3]. We will now aim for a release on target date #1 of Tuesday, October 28 2025. The release schedule[4] has been updated accordingly. Full meeting logs and minutes can be found on meetbot.fedoraproject.org[5].

[Test-Announce]F43 Final Bug Blocker Report: 2025-10-12
by Aoife Moloney 13 Oct '25

13 Oct '25

Hi folks, With the F43 Final Go/No-Go meeting happening on Thursday[1], it would be great if you could spare some time to review the proposed blockers that are filed in the blocker bugs app[2]. Right now we are targeting the early release deadline of Tuesday, Oct 21 2025[3]. As there may not be a blocker bug meeting tomorrow[4] (unless someone would like to run it), it would be really beneficial to arrive in the Go/No-Go meeting with the bug list reviewed, voted on and maybe even have some fixes for! :crosses fingers: This is also true if the blocker review meeting does go ahead tomorrow too :) So if you can, please take a look at the proposed blockers, and as always please refer to the blocker bug app and each bugzilla for more detailed information on the bug. Action summary ==================== Accepted blockers (6) ----------------- 1. blivet-gui — Cannot add encrypted MD RAID btrfs device in blivet-gui — ON_QA ACTION: QA to verify fix https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2401870 2. dracut — default hostonly-mode "sloppy" results in significant increase in initramfs size — MODIFIED ACTION: Upstream to review and submit patch to F43 3. fedora repos — fedora-repos: disable updates-testing repo for final F43 release — ON_QA ACTION: QA to verify PR https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedora-repos/pull-request/161 4. gtk3 — Drop-down menus not working over RDP in Anaconda — VERIFIED ACTION: No action required, fix has been provided https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-d6e439498a 5. kiwi — Radxa Rock Pi 4 and Pine64 RockPro64 boards fail to boot with Kiwi-produced images, probably all RockChip models — ON_QA ACTION: QA to verify fix 6. libdnf — libdnf context is not reading and enforcing protected packages, causing PackageKit to not honor protected packages settings — VERIFIED ACTION: No action required, fix submitted https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-005db2cfbf Proposed blockers (11) ----------------- 1. anaconda — WebUI: org.fedoraproject.Anaconda.KeyboardConfigurationError: The live system has layout 'typing-booster' which can't be used for installation. — NEW ACTION: Upstream to diagnose issue 2. anaconda — rescue mode fails to mount /boot and /boot/efi — NEW ACTION: Upstream to diagnose issue 3. anaconda-webui — anaconda WebUI crashes with "Password is too weak" error — POST ACTION: QA to verify fixes 4. anaconda-webui — anaconda-webui on KDE produces unusable configuration when selecting Russian (etc.) keyboard layout — POST ACTION: QA to verify fixes 5. anaconda-webui — The partition resize slider is broken for certain languages — VERIFIED ACTION: Upstream to diagnose issue 6. edk2 — fedora ISOs will not boot in qemu-kvm using UEFI — NEW ACTION: Fix available https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-addc7b1924 7. gnome-initial-setup — Input source menu not available for IME after gnome-initial-setup — POST ACTION: No action required 8. gnome-shell — System freeze when touching QuickMenu sliders (volume/brightness) with touchscreen — NEW ACTION: Upstream to diagnose issue 9. linux-firmware — Regression in mediatek mt7922 wifi — ASSIGNED ACTION: Upstream to provide fix if possible 10. systemd — Version upgrade from Fedora 41 to 42 disables postfix.service — NEW ACTION: Upstream to provide more information on cause and possible workaround/fix 11. uboot-tools — uboot-tools-2025.10 is available — NEW ACTION: Please review and determine if this is a valid blocker bug by voting in the app Bug-by-bug detail ============= Accepted blockers ----------------- 1. blivet-gui — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2401870 — ON_QA Cannot add encrypted MD RAID btrfs device in blivet-gui The installer's graphical interface crashes during complex disk setup involving encryption and specialized file systems. A fix has already been submitted that resolves this issue https://github.com/storaged-project/blivet-gui/pull/520 2. dracut — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2394213 — MODIFIED default hostonly-mode "sloppy" results in significant increase in initramfs size Over time the size of the Linux kernel and its associated initial ramdisk (initramfs) images has grown very large, very quickly, making the default or traditional size for the /boot partition too small. Some areas to shave off additional bloat have been identified, and a PR for a partial revert for the hostonly sloppy mode has been submitted upstream https://github.com/dracut-ng/dracut-ng/pull/1673/. This fix has landed for Rawhide, but not for F43 yet https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/dracut/c/6908946c3c0751e9ca807bd230ba62e… 3. fedora-repos — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2394213 — ON_QA fedora-repos: disable updates-testing repo for final F43 release A PR has been submitted to disable the updates-testing repo ahead of F43 final https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedora-repos/pull-request/161 4. gtk3 — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2397086 — NEW Drop-down menus not working over RDP in Anaconda When gtk3 drop-downs are used over RDP, on the first attempt, the dropdown closes immediately. On further attempts, they work OK. An issue has been filed upstream https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/7811 and a fix has been submitted https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-d6e439498a which resolves the issue somewhat 5. kiwi — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2396309 — ON_QA Radxa Rock Pi 4 and Pine64 RockPro64 boards fail to boot with Kiwi-produced images, probably all RockChip models Images built for RockChip-based SBCs by Kiwi appear to have been failing to boot because of how the partitions and firmware are laid out. A PR has been submitted to fedora-kiwi-descriptions https://pagure.io/fedora-kiwi-descriptions/pull-request/221 and is also submitted for F43 https://pagure.io/fedora-kiwi-descriptions/c/176a9d56aa6b00ec66ad1c4680ae11…, so following a compose this should resolve the issue. Testing of the fix once available will be required to verify it works. 6. libdnf — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2400488 — VERIFIED libdnf context is not reading and enforcing protected packages, causing PackageKit to not honor protected packages settings Removing the cantarell-VF font from Gnome Software causes the Gnome desktop environment to break and gives users a shell screen rather than the graphical login. The suspected cause is a regression in libdnf in PackageKit, which has recently been upgraded, but this upgrade caused an issue with PackageKit and ultimately seems to be causing this end-user issue. A fix has been provided which resolves this issue https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-005db2cfbf Proposed blockers ----------------- 1. anaconda — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2402675 — NEW WebUI: org.fedoraproject.Anaconda.KeyboardConfigurationError: The live system has a layout 'typing-booster' which can't be used for installation. The installer seems to trigger a KeyboardConfigurationError because it is unable to handle or use the special keyboard layout ('typing-booster') that was set in the live system. It also happens when the installer is running and you click "Change system keyboard layout", and then add an input method too. 2. anaconda — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2402976 — NEW rescue mode fails to mount /boot and /boot/efi When a user boots into the installer, selects Troubleshooting, and enters Rescue Mode, the system only successfully mounts the main root (/) partition of the installed operating system to /mnt/sysimage. There may be an issue with blivet at the core, but further investigation is needed to confirm the cause of this bug. 3. anaconda-webui — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2389356 — POST anaconda WebUI crashes with "Password is too weak" error The installer crashes immediately when a user types a password for disk encryption (LUKS) that is considered "too weak." This seems to have been triggered when the system's password strength checker (pwscore) returns a value of 0 (which means the password is the weakest possible or fails minimum rules). It immediately crashes as it identifies this as a 'critical error', rather than displaying a 'password too weak' message. A PR has been submitted upstream which fixes this issue https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/22494, and includes a webui fix for cockpit too https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda-webui/pull/1036 4. anaconda-webui — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2402430 — POST anaconda-webui on KDE produces unusable configuration when selecting Russian (etc.) keyboard layout For languages like Russian, the standard setup requires two keyboard layouts to be configured simultaneously: one for the native (Cyrillic) characters and the standard US-English layout for ASCII characters. When a user selects a language like Russian in the KDE-based WebUI, it only allows them to select a single layout, which makes it impossible for the user to type all ASCII characters and restricts users from having disk encryption passphrases and creating username and passwords with ascii characters. A suggested fix, albeit a minimal one, has been sent https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda-webui/pull/1037 which would hide keyboard layout options that cant input ASCII, thus removing the option, but this also relies on https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/6692 being reviewed, preferably by someone who has experience with javascript. Any help reviewing these PRs would be appreciated. 5. anaconda-webui — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2403028 — NEW The partition resize slider is broken for certain languages The partition resizing tool in the installer is broken for users who select a language that uses a comma (,) as the decimal separator (instead of a period (.), as used in English). If a user tries to install Fedora using another language like French, German and Spanish, the slider doesn't show the size numbers correctly. Also if the user interacts with the accompanying text field, the slider breaks completely and becomes unusable. If anyone could take some time to take a look at this bug and identify its cause (suspected decimal comma issue), that would be really helpful. 6. edk2 — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2401623 — NEW fedora ISOs will not boot in qemu-kvm using UEFI Fedora 43 ISO fails to boot the kernel on suspected older Intel NUC hardware when using a VM for this. This is not true for other hardware such as Lenovo Thinkpads, as the same F43 ISO boots successfully here. A fix has been submitted which seems to resolve the issue https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-addc7b1924 7. gnome-initial-setup — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2402147 — POST Input source menu not available for IME after gnome-initial-setup The specialized text input tools needed for CJK languages appear to be missing after install. Users must manually go into the GNOME settings and add the input source again. This functionality was available in F42. An issue was filed upstream https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-initial-setup/-/issues/239 and a fix has been found by the maintainers, which is to not use the /var/lib/gdm persistent settings location for gnome-initial-setup. This will match the behavior of previous versions of GNOME. 8. gnome-shell — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2399599 — NEW System freeze when touching QuickMenu sliders (volume/brightness) with touchscreen On a Wayland session, using the touchscreen to interact with GNOME Shell’s QuickMenu sliders (volume or brightness) causes the entire system to become unresponsive. The mouse pointer can still move, but clicks, keyboard input, and touch input do not work. Users need to either shut down the system or close the lid to suspend to get their sessions working again. 9. linux-firmware — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2401216 — ASSIGNED Regression in mediatek mt7922 wifi A recent update to the Linux firmware package in Fedora seems to have caused the MT7922 Wi-Fi adapter on several common laptops to fail, such as the ASUS Zenbook UM3406KA, ASUS Vivobook S14, and Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 4. The package version causing this failure seems to be 20250917-2.fc42. A workaround currently in use is to downgrade both the linux-firmware and mt7xxx-firmware packages to an older version, such as linux-firmware-20250808-1 and 20250311-1.fc42 10. systemd — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2363937 — NEW Version upgrade from Fedora 41 to 42 disables postfix.service Some users who are upgrading from F41 -> F42, and some F42 - F43 Beta upgrades too, are reporting losing the postfix.service and nftables. 11. uboot-tools — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2401964 — ASSIGNED uboot-tools-2025.10 is available The upstream release monitoring system has reported the availability of a new updated package set. More investigation is needed to figure out what the cause of this bug is, as an upgrade from postfix-2:3.9.0-8.fc41.x86_64 → postfix-2:3.9.1-3.fc42.x86_64, and then to 2:3.9.1-5.fc42 was successful for one reporter. More information is definitely needed, so help would be appreciated.
