Does kernel-6.3.x bring IBT protection to Fedora?

by Ian Laurie

I cannot load any VirtualBox VM on my i7 hardware running any 6.3.x kernel, and sometimes trying to do it locks up the system requiring the power to be pulled (that's an issue in itself). However I am able to run VMs wirh kernel 6.3.x on some different hardware at work that uses old Xeon E5-2603 v2 CPUs. I found this bug entry talking about IBT protection: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/21435 Adding "ibt=off" to the kernel line when booting seems to have fixed it. Did Fedora turn on IBT checking with 6.3.2/6.3.3 ? RPM Fusion VB bug: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6688 Has 6.3.x destroyed VirtualBox for anyone else?

new criterion proposal: toolbox functionality

by Sumantro Mukherjee

Related to a recently proposed blocker [0], I propose a new release criterion which would cover that case. There is a push from the Dekstop team to have toolbox as a default app in the installer iso as well. Here it is: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Toolbox aka Toolbx should be usable. Toolbox should be able to list, create and provide the desired containerized environment to the user without root privileges. Toolbox images should be generally functional. Footnote - "What does this cover?": Toolbox's general functionality as covered by this test cases https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_toolbox ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I think this criterion could target F39 Beta Release Criteria or Basic Release Criteria [2]. Please tell me your thoughts, thanks!

I first installed Red Hat in 1998 and have been an exclusive Linux user ever since, now my everyday linux distros are both fedora and arch (I like having options) but predominantly fedora. it's well past time I contributed something back to the project other than ad-hoc testing such as 6.3.1 recently I am retired 20 years, live in Ireland and have time to spare I'm known as ffyon or grumpy or both FAS - grumpyffyon irc.libera.chat - ffyon | grumpyffyon email - fedtest at post.carik.tech cheers

Full system freeze when testing 6.3.1 with amd_pstate=active

by Christopher Klooz

I started to run 6.3.1. on my system* today with amd_pstate=active (...hoping it solves some issues I have on my hardware, see the bug ticket below). The issue of today with 6.3.1.: it worked properly most of the day, but when the system was not used several minutes, it completely froze with Firefox and some other applications open (CTRL+ALT+F* did not respond as well). I attached the "journalctl -r --boot=-1" after I force-rebooted. However, I cannot exclude that it is related to an open ticket (this "symptom" is not new with 6.3.1 on my hardware), but *the logs of this time with 6.3.1 with amd_pstate=active (see attachment) differ* to the logs of the earlier issues: see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2193110 (I don't think at this time that this is caused by firefox, but firefox may has some unintended behavior that triggers the issues). I now switched to amd_pstate=passive but remain with 6.3.1 to see how it develops. My "feeling" of the day is that 6.3.1 is still more stable than 6.2. Maybe the logs are indicative for you. Concerning the SELinux denials (to which I see no relation in this issue): the user account is a SELinux confined user sysadm_u. * Lenovo Thinkpad T16 AMD, AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U, Fedora KDE spin, tainted=0, only default repos/software. Regards, Chris (py0xc3)

[Testdays] Call for Fedora Linux 39 testing events

by Sumantro Mukherjee

Hi Fedora users, developers, and friends! It's time to start thinking about Test Days for Fedora 39. For anyone who isn't aware, a Test Day is an event usually focused around IRC for interaction and a Wiki page for instructions and results, with the aim being to get a bunch of interested users and developers together to test a specific feature or area of the distribution. You can run a Test Day on just about anything for which it would be useful to do some fairly focused testing in 'real time' with a group of testers; it doesn't have to be code, for instance, we often run Test Days for l10n/i18n topics. For more information on Test Days, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days . Anyone who wants to can host their own Test Day, or you can request that the QA group helps you out with organization or any combination of the two. To propose a Test Day, just file a ticket in fedora-qa pagure - here's an example https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/issue/624 . For instructions on hosting a Test Day, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/SOP_Test_Day_management . You can see the schedule at https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/issues?tags=test+days . There are many slots open right now. Consider the development schedule, though, in deciding when you want to run your Test Day - for some topics you may want to avoid the time before the Beta release or the time after the feature freeze or the Final Freeze. We normally aim to schedule Test Days on Thursdays; however, if you want to run a series of related Test Days, it's often a good idea to do something like Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday of the same week (this is how we usually run the X Test Week, for instance). If all the Thursday slots fill up but more people want to run Test Days, we will open up Tuesday slots as overflows. And finally, if you really want to run a Test Day in a specific time frame due to the development schedule, but the Thursday slot for that week is full, we can add a slot on another day. We're flexible! Just put in your ticket the date or time frame you'd like, and we'll figure it out from there. If you don't want to run your own Test Day, but you are willing to help with another, feel free to join one or more of already accepted Test Days: GNOME Test Day* i18n Test Day* Kernel Test Week(s)* Upgrade Test Day* IoT Test Week* Cloud Test Day* Fedora CoreOS Test Week* And don't be afraid, there are a lot of more slots available for your own Test Day! [*] These are the test days we run generally to make sure everything is working fine, the dates get announced as we move into the release cycle. If you have any questions about the Test Day process, please don't hesitate to contact me or any member of the Fedora QA team on test at lists.fedoraproject.org or in #fedora-qa on IRC. Thanks! -- //sumantro Fedora QE TRIED AND PERSONALLY TESTED, ERGO TRUSTED
