How Can I Debug a Thunderbird Startup Issue Specific to F38?
by John Mellor 01 May '23

01 May '23

After upgrading from F38 to F39, Thunderbird developed a black screen on first use after startup. Thunderbird works well in F38, but not in F39. Its not fatal, as invoking Thunderbird after that works properly, but the first time after every machine reboot, it fails. There are no updates that resolve this bug. I've tried it on multiple machines with different timings, but the problem is in the code. I also ran it with the JS debug option, but it never gets that far on first run. It just locks up the same way as the main screen and the debugger also blackscreens. So it seems like something in the startup code is left waiting for a paint event or something. The Thunderbird web site seems to be very indifferent to bugs, and there is no obvious means of submitting a bug report. Since it works well on multiple other platforms (I interchangeably use Windows, Manjaro and Ubuntu), this is probably a Fedora-specific bug and not a Thunderbird bug. This feels like a Gnome timing bug causing a missed event issue. How do you look at the event (and a missed event) messages in Gnome to debug this? Assuming that I can pinpoint a failing Gnome event, where do I submit this bug?

[Testdays] Call for Fedora Linux 39 testing events
by Sumantro Mukherjee 30 Apr '23

30 Apr '23

Hi Fedora users, developers, and friends! It's time to start thinking about Test Days for Fedora 39. For anyone who isn't aware, a Test Day is an event usually focused around IRC for interaction and a Wiki page for instructions and results, with the aim being to get a bunch of interested users and developers together to test a specific feature or area of the distribution. You can run a Test Day on just about anything for which it would be useful to do some fairly focused testing in 'real time' with a group of testers; it doesn't have to be code, for instance, we often run Test Days for l10n/i18n topics. For more information on Test Days, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days . Anyone who wants to can host their own Test Day, or you can request that the QA group helps you out with organization or any combination of the two. To propose a Test Day, just file a ticket in fedora-qa pagure - here's an example https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/issue/624 . For instructions on hosting a Test Day, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/SOP_Test_Day_management . You can see the schedule at https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/issues?tags=test+days . There are many slots open right now. Consider the development schedule, though, in deciding when you want to run your Test Day - for some topics you may want to avoid the time before the Beta release or the time after the feature freeze or the Final Freeze. We normally aim to schedule Test Days on Thursdays; however, if you want to run a series of related Test Days, it's often a good idea to do something like Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday of the same week (this is how we usually run the X Test Week, for instance). If all the Thursday slots fill up but more people want to run Test Days, we will open up Tuesday slots as overflows. And finally, if you really want to run a Test Day in a specific time frame due to the development schedule, but the Thursday slot for that week is full, we can add a slot on another day. We're flexible! Just put in your ticket the date or time frame you'd like, and we'll figure it out from there. If you don't want to run your own Test Day, but you are willing to help with another, feel free to join one or more of already accepted Test Days: GNOME Test Day* i18n Test Day* Kernel Test Week(s)* Upgrade Test Day* IoT Test Week* Cloud Test Day* Fedora CoreOS Test Week* And don't be afraid, there are a lot of more slots available for your own Test Day! [*] These are the test days we run generally to make sure everything is working fine, the dates get announced as we move into the release cycle. If you have any questions about the Test Day process, please don't hesitate to contact me or any member of the Fedora QA team on test at lists.fedoraproject.org or in #fedora-qa on IRC. Thanks! -- //sumantro Fedora QE TRIED AND PERSONALLY TESTED, ERGO TRUSTED
