grub won't show menu in f44 VM
by Robert McBroom 23 Jan '26

23 Jan '26

Installed Fedora-Cloud-Base-Generic-43-1.6.x86_64.qcow2 in a qemu/kvm virtual machine. dnf upgrade to releasever=44 It doesn't give me the grub menu on boot. There are three kernels available and I would also like to put options on the grub start. Tried esc, f8, shift while booting. No menu. grub2-editenv - Unset menu_auto_hide Didn't work Sledgehammer approach of setting menu_auto_hide=0 everywhere with text editor. Still no menu.

Hey folks, we've almost [1] finished our migration, and you can find most of our repositories now at Fedora Forge. Our main ticketing repo is now here: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/tickets All the rest of our repos can be found in under the Quality organization: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality Please update your bookmarks. The previous repos on Pagure have been switched to read-only. After you log in to Fedora Forge for the first time (using your Fedora account), don't forget to enable email notifications, so that you can receive updates for your requests: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/forge-documentation/email_notification… Cheers, Kamil [1] https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/tickets/issues/836

Test case draft for Basic networking test case
by Lukas Ruzicka 21 Jan '26

21 Jan '26

Hello, The QA team has been missing test cases to test Basic networking. I have written a draft of the test case and now I am collecting suggestions on how to improve it, check if anything is missing, or if something needs to be changed. The Basic networking test case is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Basic_networking We will also need to create a WIFI test case and a VPN test case, both the CLI and GUI variants, so if anybody has ideas how to do it, let me know. Thanks for your help. -- Lukáš Růžička FEDORA QE, RHCE Red Hat <https://www.redhat.com> Purkyňova 115 612 45 Brno - Královo Pole lruzicka(a)redhat.com TRIED AND PERSONALLY TESTED, ERGO TRUSTED. <https://redhat.com/trusted>

Self-introduction: Xincheng Zhang
by Xincheng Zhang 20 Jan '26

20 Jan '26

Hello Fedora QA Team, My name is Xincheng Zhang (FAS: xczdev), and I’m a QA and DevOps Engineer based in Paris. I have 7.5 years of experience in software qualification, specifically in E2E/API testing and CI/CD automation. I am eager to contribute to the Fedora community to deepen my Linux knowledge and gain experience in open-source workflows. Technical Background: - QA Expertise: Senior level in End-to-End (E2E) and API testing using Java. - Linux Experience (User/Deployment level): I am comfortable using RHEL environments to deploy and host applications. - I use standard commands for system process monitoring and basic troubleshooting. - Writing Shell scripts for task automation. - Building CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins and GitLab CI. - Currently working with Terraform (IaC) for cloud development. My Goals: I am a long-time user of RHEL-based systems, but I want to transition from a "user" to a "contributor." I joined Fedora to learn the internal workflows of an open-source project and to develop my skills in Linux OS testing. I just ordered a dedicated laptop for Linux and have begun reading the Fedora QA Wiki. Since I work full-time during the week, I am looking for ways to participate effectively on a part-time basis. I would love to connect with anyone who can guide me toward a "beginner-friendly" task or help me understand the best frequency for a part-time contributor to engage. Best regards, Xincheng

Call for Fedora 44 Test Days
by awilliam＠redhat.com 08 Jan '26

08 Jan '26

The Fedora 44 schedule [1] is winding up, and it's time we started thinking about what we'd want to have test days for. There are several changes accepted already for F44, and the window for proposals is still open so more may come. You can find the list of accepted Changes here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/44/ChangeSet Please take some time and look through the list and see if there's anything you'd be interested in testing - or if there's something you think should get some testing that isn't in the ChangeSet! For those of you not familiar with them, test days are online events aimed at testing a specific feature of an upcoming Fedora release. We organize the event in a ticket, provide a Wiki page with instructions, and have a page on the testdays webapp [2] for reporting results. During the event, folks can compare notes and ask for help in the Matrix chat room [3]. Anyone can request to host test days or request that the QA team help you out with organizing. Test days can be run for any feature or area of a distribution that focused testing would be useful for. We use the name "test days" as it's been around for a while, but many events run for more than a single day, now, to allow more time for folks to test. More information on test days can be found in the wiki [4]. To propose a test day, file a ticket on Pagure (for now): https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/new_issue You can look at existing issues with the test day tag [5] to get an idea how the ticket can look; please include details on what topic you want to cover, and an idea of what dates you would like to hold it. You can also look at the SOP for hosting a test day [6]. If you have any questions about test days or the process, please don't hesitate to contact me or any other Quality team member on Matrix [3] or respond on the test list. Thanks and happy testing!
