reversible dual-boot test station
by Chris Murphy 23 Feb '24

23 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

Good morning, Yesterday I got a new ISP. I have a new email address and I changed my email address in the Fedora Account System. I just checked it this morning and the new address is still there. However this morning the meeting announcements and test reports came to my old email address. Fortunately I haven't discontinued that ISP with it's associated email address yet. What else do I need to change for the QA related email to come to me new email address? Have a Great Day! tablepc Pat

Question to F39 who did a new install apart upgrade
by old sixpack13 04 Oct '23

04 Oct '23

since F38 it happens to me that the dir for the journals is filled up with a lot of small journals (~5 MB) and something regarding time Is this still the case with F39 *new* installs (explicit *NOT* upgrades, e.g. F38 => F39)

Accented uppercase letters
by Alessio 27 Sep '23

27 Sep '23

I'm pretty sure that before Fedora 39, typing an accented character (Italian keyboard) while the caps lock is active, will result in the uppercase version of such accented character (i.e. è -> È). It was an useful way to type accented capital letters instead of E' Now it doesn't work anymore. Or better, it doesn't work in many applications (i.e. Libreoffice, Firefox, Evolution, GNOME Text Editor), but it works on Chrome or Telegram. What might be the cause? Thanks, A.

Suspending fedora silverblue 39 (rebased from 38) instead logs out of GNOME. I don't see crashing logs. I tried resetting gsettings via dconf Editor but it didn't solve the issue. # System Details Report --- ## Report details - **Date generated:** 2023-09-26 14:11:33 ## Hardware Information: - **Hardware Model:** Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15ALC6 - **Memory:** 8,0 GiB - **Processor:** AMD Ryzen™ 7 5700U with Radeon™ Graphics × 16 - **Graphics:** AMD Radeon™ Graphics - **Disk Capacity:** 256,1 GB ## Software Information: - **Firmware Version:** GLCN40WW - **OS Name:** Fedora Linux 39.20230925.n.1 (Silverblue Prerelease) - **OS Build:** (null) - **OS Type:** 64-bit - **GNOME Version:** 45.0 - **Windowing System:** Wayland - **Kernel Version:** Linux 6.5.5-300.fc39.x86_64

Memory usage
by Alessio 22 Sep '23

22 Sep '23

Hello. I have a Fedora Workstation machine. I monitor it with check_mk. Since the upgrade from 38 to 39, there is a constant warning about committed memory. Total virtual memory: 14.85% - 2.03 GB of 13.68 GB, Committed: 129% - 17.72 GB of 13.68 GB virtual memory (warn/crit at 100.00%/150.00% used) WARN Well, I know that RAM usage is not so simple to interpret, and honestly I don't understand it very well (what is committed memory?), but the workload of the machine is exactly the same as before (I use such computer to display a web page with Firefox, btw the situation does not change if I close Firefox), and as you can see in the attached graph, such committed memory usage started to grow the day I upgraded to Fedora 39. Any idea? Could it be a clue of some memory leak? Thanks, A.
