Bug-by-bug detail
=============
Accepted blockers
-----------------
1. kde-settings — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2117706 — NEW
KDE needs to pick up F37 backgrounds
New desktop backgrounds require a new KDE settings update.
Proposed blockers
-----------------
1. anaconda — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2070823 — ON_QA
Anaconda crashed on signal 11 - keyboard layout encryption password prompt
Clicking the keyboard layout button in the LUKS decryption popup
crashes anaconda. anaconda-37.12-1 contains a candidate fix.
2. anaconda — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2101229 — NEW
Anaconda will not start F37 Raw
Neither clicking the desktop icon nor the taskbar icon will launch
anaconda. openQA is not experiencing this. Using basic graphics mode
results in the expected behavior.
3. dnf — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1907030 — NEW
"dnf update" runs out of memory on swapless 0.5 GiB RAM machine
dnf is killed by oom-kill on machines with 512 MB of RAM. Adding a
swap disk or disabling the updates repo works around this issue.
Recently, FCOS has seen this behavior with 1 GB VMs. The issue appears
to be the size of the metadata for the repository. The short term
fixes look like they may need to be made on the repo side, not in dnf.
4. dracut — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2107858 — POST
Media check fails with checkisomd5 "service failed because the control
process exited with error code"
Media check fails on certain hardware. Skipping the media check
results in a successful boot. Upstream PR #1882 contains a candidate
fix: https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/pull/1882
5. polkit — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2109145 — ASSIGNED
Switching users in Gnome results in polkitd errors that prevent
powering off the computer.
Under certain conditions (including but not limited to several user
switches), the power off button disappears from the GNOME menu due to
a polkitd error. `systemctl poweroff -i` as an unprivileged user does
not work. It may be an issue with using the duktape JS engine instead
of mozjs91. polkit-121-3 reverts to mozjs91, but is not a sufficient
fix.
6. sddm — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2110801 — NEW
Logout from KDE session on Rawhide goes to console, not SDDM
After logging out of KDE Plasma, you end up at a console on tty2. SDDM
had been running on tty1 but just shows a flashing cursor.
