Bug-by-bug detail
=============
Accepted blockers
-----------------
1. crypto-policies —
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2170878 — ASSIGNED
Insecure installed RPMs (like Google Chrome) prevent system updates in
F38, can't be removed
A fix to let RPM use a separate crytpo policy has not covered all
cases. Certain AnyDesk RPMs were apparently signed outside the window
when the certificate was valid.
2. kernel —
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2171350 — NEW
anaconda failed to detect the fcoe target(only affects ixgbe)
The installer does not detect attached FCOE storage using ixgbe. The
device ends up in "NO-CARRIER state DORNMANT".
3. kernel —
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2176782 — POST
The kernel sometimes does not initialize SimpleDRM when booting in
basic graphics mode on BIOS, causing SDDM to fail
In BIOS mode only, sddm results in a blank screen when using basic
graphics mode. This is the result of a SimpleDRM device not being
created. gdm uses a fallback to x11 in this scenario, so it works.
Setting `vga=791` in grub appears to work. Pending lorax PR adds this
for basic graphics mode on BIOS:
https://github.com/weldr/lorax/pull/1317
4. openssh —
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2172956 — POST
Update hostkey migration to support OSTree systems and dynamically
detect hostkey location
rpm-ostree systems don't run RPM scriptlets on upgrade, which could
result in an upgrade locking users out of remote machines. Package
pull requests
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedora-release/pull-request/253
and
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/openssh/pull-request/45 contain
a candidate fix.
5. sddm —
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2174563 — NEW
Virtual keyboard (on-screen) not working at sddm-wayland-plasma
The virtual keyboard at the login screen does not appear when you
click the appropriate button. This appears to be a Wayland-specific
issue; reverting to X11 allows the keyboard to work as expected. The
keyboard works and the button enables/disables the keyboard, but does
not bring up the keyboard
6. shim —
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2113005 — NEW
Live image made with BOOTX64.EFI from latest shim-x64-15.6-2 fails to
boot on some boards
UEFI LoadOptions that start with NUL cause boot failure. This is fixed
upstream in
https://github.com/rhboot/shim/pull/505 but the SecureBoot
signing process requires NX support in the kernel, which is still
pending upstream.
Proposed blockers
-----------------
1. abrt —
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2177153 — NEW
MaxCrashReportsSize claims to be 5000 MB but is 1000 MB
abrt is using a smaller size limit than the hard-coded default of 5000
MB. This seems likely to be an integer overflow.
2. accountservice —
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2180768 — MODIFIED
GDM takes "long" before allowing mouse moves and showing the user list.
When wtmp is modified during boot, accountservice would have a
blocking wait for 10 seconds. Update FEDORA-2023-a5af7d5db0 contains a
candidate fix to enable high priority reload requests.
3. gnome-shell —
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2180277 — NEW
gnome-shell crashes and sysops happens when users logout
Logging out sometimes causes a crash. It may be caused by trying to
exit with open windows. An upstream MR contains work-in-progress
fixes:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2722/
4. gnome-software —
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2181367 — MODIFIED
Incorrect priority order of app sources
Contrary to FESCo's requirement for the Unfiltered Flathub Change,
flatpaks from Flathub sometimes take priority over Fedora RPMs.
FEDORA-2023-49b5dec107 contains a candidate fix.
5. kwin —
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2179591 — NEW
Logging out of Plasma 5.27.3 on Wayland as the second user on the
system resulted in a black screen
In some cases, a race condition prevents the second user on a system
from logging out successfully. This appears to be an SELinux issue
filed as RHBZ 2181010. An upstream PR contains a candidate fix:
https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy/pull/1628
