reversible dual-boot test station
by Chris Murphy 22 Feb '24

22 Feb '24

Hi, I mentioned this in a QA meeting, and have given it enough testing that I think it's broadly usable. If desired it can be copied out of my user account and put up somewhere where QA folks will see it and can modify it as issues or improvements are discovered. What is it? The idea is to produce a system that can confidently be used for baremetal testing, without risking the primary operating system. While VM's are a great way to test, it's also a really idealized environment that tends to not expose an assortment of bugs that affect particular hardware. But then quite a lot of folks reasonably don't want to upgrade their daily use hardware early on, because they don't want to always have to debug things, or have to figure out how to undo the upgrade if it really goes badly. Therefore, I present a dual-boot setup offering: * no re-partitioning; * no installation step, instead system upgrade is used; * reversibility, or undoability, i.e. with just a few steps you can delete the "test OS". https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Chrismurphy/Draft/dualboot_teststation -- Chris Murphy

Hey Folks! As a part of Toolbx changeset [0] and the discussion on RHBZ [1] I have made these changes : a) Add toolbx to blocking x86_64 [2] b) Add toolbx to blocking aarch64 [3] c) tag test case with [[Category:Base_Acceptance_Test_Cases]] [4] [0] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ToolbxReleaseBlocker [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2216766#c5 [2] https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Base_test_matrix&oldid… [3] https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Base_test_matrix&oldid… [4] https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=QA:Testcase_toolbox&oldid=687378 -- //sumantro Fedora QE TRIED AND PERSONALLY TESTED, ERGO TRUSTED

Make toolbx a crit-path package
by Sumantro Mukherjee 29 Aug '23

29 Aug '23

Hey Folks! Toolbx is very necessary and is becoming very important. It provides the basic and core functionality for many users who use immutable OS as daily driver for installing apps with dnf. In many cases, help devs manage deps, libs and envs. Functional breakage of Toolbx causes distress and many folks might be actually running apps inside and if after "dnf update" things fall apart[0], that's great UX. I want to mark Toolbx rpm as crit-path.. thoughts? Any ideas on how to go about this?

[Test Week] F39 Anaconda WebUI Installer for Workstation is underway!
by Sumantro Mukherjee 29 Aug '23

29 Aug '23

Hey folks, This week we will be testing the new Anaconda WebUI installer written with React and Cockpit. This installer will be default for Workstation for now and we would like to run through as many tests as possible from [0]. Note from developers/other likely scenarios are a) Test the new mount point assignment UI and for this the most likely use case will be that the user will create the partitioning manually using blivet-gui (which can now be started from the WebUI interface) and then switch to the mount point assignment and assign/map the created devices to mount points b) Test any system with multiple types of disks a combination (LVM and RAID), and different bootloader configs.

GNOME RDP port
by Alessio 22 Aug '23

22 Aug '23

On GNOME 45, the default remote desktop port is now 3390, while in the past the "default" port was used. Correct? The point is that now, using an RDP client you have to specify the port unlike in the past. Should we document this somewhere? Ciao, A.

system-upgrade on RPi fails
by Alessio 21 Aug '23

21 Aug '23

Hello. I don't remember if it has always been this way. I was trying to upgrade from Fedora 38 to 39 on a Raspberry. sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=39 The point is that on the subsequent boot, following dnf system-upgrade reboot the operation fails because the signature verification fails, due to the fact that the date/time of the RPi is incorrect. You know, each time the RPi is rebooted, it lose the date/time. So, has it always been this way and I don't remember that? Or in the past, system-upgrade was performed after the clock was synchronized with some source? Thanks, A.

Hello, As most of you might know, with each new release of Fedora, we get a new GNOME and that means this is the time to test GNOME 45's new features. GNOME 45 test week begins today. During the course of next week, we will have 14-17 reserved for testing the Desktop and the Core Apps [0] and the rest for testing GNOME Apps that need extensive testing[1] As always, you can submit results for respective test days in [2] and [3]. The development folks and QE folks come from different time zones and will be available on Martix/element chatrooms as much as possible.
