Re: ALSA audio silent on some hardware
by Magnus Jørgensen
I finally found a solution to this problem.
If I install alsa-plugins-pulseaudio then ALSA audio also works on my
desktop computer.
But why this difference?

StrongCryptoSettings3 Setting Test Day
by Sumantro Mukherjee
Hey All,
We have a bunch of test days coming up, we are currently running
StrongCryptoSettings3 test day. I will be keeping this open for
community members to come and test. It's fairly simple, just run the
commands you find in[0] and your output should correspond to [1]
This is an *unconventional* test day which means, two things
1. You must try out any exotic VPN, git work flow, chat apps and see
if they work
2. Anything which will use OpenSSL will be affected and any corner
case should be possibly tested!
The first set of quick command execution will be easy. The test day
matrix will be open for the time being and it will be great to have
this tested!

Call for testing: laptops and USB-C docks
by Adam Williamson
Hi folks!
There's a proposed F37 Beta blocker bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2119305
which is about a Thinkpad laptop hitting a kernel panic when trying to
boot while attached to a USB-C dock.
It'd be good to get an idea if this is affecting a wider range of
laptops and docks, or if it's only affecting this specific combination
of hardware. So if you have a laptop and a USB-C dock that usually
works with it, it'd be great if you could try a Fedora 37 Beta
candidate live image on it and see if it runs into trouble. You can
report results to this mail thread, or the bug report. Thanks!

F37 Beta blocker status email
by Ben Cotton
With F37 now branched from Rawhide, it's time to pick up our weekly
blocker status emails!
Action summary
====================
Accepted blockers
-----------------
1. kde-settings — KDE needs to pick up F37 backgrounds — NEW
ACTION: Maintainers to make new kde-settings build
Proposed blockers
-----------------
1. anaconda — Anaconda crashed on signal 11 - keyboard layout
encryption password prompt — ON_QA
ACTION: QA, reporter to verify anaconda-37.12-1
NEEDINFO: doug.hs
2. anaconda — Anaconda will not start F37 Raw — NEW
ACTION: Reporter to provide requested log files
NEEDINFO: aalmeleh.whatever.0101
3. dnf — "dnf update" runs out of memory on swapless 0.5 GiB RAM machine — NEW
ACTION: Manitainers to investigate short-term dnf improvements
NEEDINFO: jmracek
4. dracut — Media check fails with checkisomd5 "service failed because
the control process exited with error code" — POST
ACTION: Maintainers to build with upstream PR
5. polkit — Switching users in Gnome results in polkitd errors that
prevent powering off the computer. — ASSIGNED
ACTION: Maintainers to diagnose issue
6. sddm — Logout from KDE session on Rawhide goes to console, not SDDM — NEW
ACTION: Maintainers to diagnose issue
Bug-by-bug detail
=============
Accepted blockers
-----------------
1. kde-settings — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2117706 — NEW
KDE needs to pick up F37 backgrounds
New desktop backgrounds require a new KDE settings update.
Proposed blockers
-----------------
1. anaconda — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2070823 — ON_QA
Anaconda crashed on signal 11 - keyboard layout encryption password prompt
Clicking the keyboard layout button in the LUKS decryption popup
crashes anaconda. anaconda-37.12-1 contains a candidate fix.
2. anaconda — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2101229 — NEW
Anaconda will not start F37 Raw
Neither clicking the desktop icon nor the taskbar icon will launch
anaconda. openQA is not experiencing this. Using basic graphics mode
results in the expected behavior.
3. dnf — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1907030 — NEW
"dnf update" runs out of memory on swapless 0.5 GiB RAM machine
dnf is killed by oom-kill on machines with 512 MB of RAM. Adding a
swap disk or disabling the updates repo works around this issue.
Recently, FCOS has seen this behavior with 1 GB VMs. The issue appears
to be the size of the metadata for the repository. The short term
fixes look like they may need to be made on the repo side, not in dnf.
4. dracut — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2107858 — POST
Media check fails with checkisomd5 "service failed because the control
process exited with error code"
Media check fails on certain hardware. Skipping the media check
results in a successful boot. Upstream PR #1882 contains a candidate
fix: https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/pull/1882
5. polkit — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2109145 — ASSIGNED
Switching users in Gnome results in polkitd errors that prevent
powering off the computer.
Under certain conditions (including but not limited to several user
switches), the power off button disappears from the GNOME menu due to
a polkitd error. `systemctl poweroff -i` as an unprivileged user does
not work. It may be an issue with using the duktape JS engine instead
of mozjs91. polkit-121-3 reverts to mozjs91, but is not a sufficient
fix.
6. sddm — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2110801 — NEW
Logout from KDE session on Rawhide goes to console, not SDDM
After logging out of KDE Plasma, you end up at a console on tty2. SDDM
had been running on tty1 but just shows a flashing cursor.

Request for testing: Fedora 37 pre-Beta validation tests
by Adam Williamson
Hey folks!
So we're in freeze for Fedora 37 Beta now, and the first go/no-go
meeting should be on September 8.
It would be really great if we can get the validation tests run now so
we can find any remaining blocker bugs in good time to get them fixed.
Right now the blocker list looks short, but there are definitely some
tests that have not been run.
You can use the testcase_stats view to find tests that need running:
https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/testcase_stats/37/
For each validation test set (Base, Desktop etc.) it shows when each
test was last performed. So you can easily look for Basic and Beta
tests that have not yet been run. We need to run all of these.
You can enter results using `relval report-results`, or edit the
summary results page at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Summary . That's a
redirect link which will always point to the validation results page
for the currently-nominated compose, which right now is 20220826.n.0.
Sumantro will be running a validation 'test week' starting on
Wednesday, so you can drop by the Fedora Test Day room on
chat.fedoraproject.org to hang out with other testers and get any help
you need in testing. See
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test-announce@lists.fedorap...
for that announcement.
Thanks folks!
