Hi folks! I decided it's finally time to knock this action item off my
todo list...
Last cycle, we had a proposed blocker[1] which relied on a footnote to
the Beta upgrade criterion which was added way back when we first set
up the Editions:
"The upgraded system must include all packages that would be present on
the system after a default installation from install media, plus any
packages the user previously had (minus any obsolete content)"[2]
We had a detailed discussion about this at the review meeting[3]. The
text does seem to cover the proposed blocker as written, but we didn't
think it was really meant to. Per sgallagh, the intent of this footnote
was "to guarantee that upgrades from F20 -> F21 would specify a
preferred edition and then guarantee that they would get everything
from the default install of that Edition plus keep whatever else was on
their system (i.e. don't reset them to a default install)".
At a subsequent team meeting[4], we talked about it again, and I
volunteered to do a rewrite. So, I propose we change it to:
"The upgraded system must include any packages that were installed
before upgrade, unless the package was obsoleted. The upgrade process
may also add packages that, in the new release, are newly included in
package groups that were installed before upgrade."
The last sentence is included because we do do that on upgrade, these
days, so the criterion should allow for it. What do folks think of this
wording? Thanks!

Saw a note the the rtl8812au rtl88x2bu drivers were being builtin into
the kernel for f42. They are not in the 6.13.0* kernels and the github
packages that worked for the 6.12.0* kernels now fail
Lots of cruft has been collecting in /lib/modules on installation
tracking rawhide. Looks like the updates do not clear the directory
trees when removing superseded kernels
The "Problem Reporting" tool (gnome-abrt) is now non-functional on
several DEs in Rawhide including (but not necessarily limited to)
Cinnamon and Xfce.
It runs wit with faulty screen rendering in Budgie.

Happy New Year everyone,
I am getting an error message on my status bar (which depends on
a manager called bumblebee-status). The message reads:
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/proc/net/wireless'
This has been the case for weeks. I assumed the issue would go away
after subsequent updates but it persists. All the while, I cannot see
the state of my wireless connections via the status bar.
I filed a bug report against bumblebee-status
(https://github.com/tobi-wan-kenobi/bumblebee-status/issues/1029)
The maintainer thinks my wireless driver has issues. I, therefore, filed
a corresponding report against the driver
(https://github.com/clnhub/rtl8192eu-linux/issues/111)
According to the driver maintainer, Fedora deprecated "Wireless
Extensions" which is responsible for "/proc/net/wireless". While the
decision does not affect the operations of the wireless driver (because
I am able to access the internet through the device), tools
that query network status via "/proc/net/wireless" appear to be
affected.
I even have a related report againt the kernel
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2334171) What is the way forward?
What is the alternative to "/proc/net/wireless"? Perhaps, someone here
may have information that will be beneficial to the maintainers above.

GK107 10de:0fc1 Kepler black screen when KMS enabled
No local I/O is possible once KMS engages.
6.11.11-300.fc41.x86_64 produces the same problem as all other post-6.6 kernels.
6.6.63 in Tumbleweed is working just dandy. No distros' current kernels behave any
differently. There's been zero activity in that report other than from myself. Can
anyone here suggest anything I can do to generate interest (that does not include
me trying to bisect or build software) in providing a fix? Command line option(s)
perhaps?

Someone who understands the mechanisms needs to take a look at:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2024-4e960d96d5
It's been submitted to stable about 3 million times but keeps bouncing
back. The spam from it is driving me nuts :)

Do you have some special knowledge of change there that should encompass this?

What is "ipu"? Intel® Infrastructure Processing Unit? If yes, does it apply to
NVidia GPUs? I can't fathom a connection. Does 6.13 have some radical change to
KMS/DRM since the initial failure in 6.7 that wasn't yet present in 6.8, 6.9,
6.10, 6.11 or 6.12.4?

This has been the same since 6.7. I can't be more time specific as I didn't have
this GPU when the first of 6.7s appeared.
