Upgrading Xwayland to version 24.1.0 in Fedora 40
by Olivier Fourdan 15 May '24

15 May '24

Hi all, Today was released Xwayland 24.1.0, a new stable branch of Xwayland. That version brings quite a few improvements, among which is support for explicit GPU synchronization. This is required to enable explicit GPU synchronization with the next version of the NVIDIA proprietary graphics driver on Wayland, meaning that rendering on Wayland and Xwayland with the NVIDIA proprietary graphics driver should be greatly improved eventually. See the merge request upstream [1] for more details. However, that new version of Xwayland also dropped support for EGLStream [2], since that's not required anymore and and unused with recent versions of the NVIDIA proprietary driver, which means that anyone with a Kepler GPU who are stuck with the 470 legacy NVIDIA proprietary graphics driver won't have hardware acceleration with Xwayland 24.1.0. For what it's worth, not too long ago EGLStream support was not working in GNOME Shell for quite some time [3] and that remained mostly unnoticed, as far as I know. This message is meant as a heads up because I am considering upgrading Xwayland to version 24.1.0 in Fedora 40. The package in rawhide has been updated already [4]. Cheers, Olivier [1] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/967 [2] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/1386 [3] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2925 [4] https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2024-3ee22c0bfd

[Testdays] Call for Fedora Linux 41 testing events
by Sumantro Mukherjee 13 May '24

13 May '24

Hi Fedora users, developers, and friends! It's time to start thinking about Test Days for Fedora 41. 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
