2022-03-14 @ ** 16:00 ** UTC - Fedora 36 Blocker Review Meeting
by Adam Williamson 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

# F36 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2022-03-14 # Time: ** 16:00 ** UTC # Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.libera.chat Hi folks! We have 2 proposed Beta blockers, 1 proposed Beta freeze exception issue, and 4 proposed Final blockers to review, so let's have a review meeting on Monday. Note that DST starts in North America on Sunday, so the meeting time in UTC is now an hour earlier than before. If your region uses daylight savings time and it starts this weekend, the meeting will be at the same local time as usual. If your region does not use DST, or it doesn't kick in yet, the meeting will be an hour earlier in local time than usual. Use `date -u` to check the current UTC time if you're unsure. If you have time this weekend, you can take a look at the proposed or accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ . Remember, you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings! If you look at the bug list in the blockerbugs app, you'll see links labeled "Vote!" next to all proposed blockers and freeze exceptions. Those links take you to tickets where you can vote. https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review has instructions on how exactly you do it. We usually go through the tickets shortly before the meeting and apply any clear votes, so the meeting will just cover bugs where there wasn't a clear outcome in the ticket voting yet. **THIS MEANS IF YOU VOTE NOW, THE MEETING WILL BE SHORTER!** We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F36 can be found on the wiki [0]. For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process, check out these links: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out the SOP on the wiki: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting Have a good weekend and see you on Monday!

04 Mar '22

Hi! I just upgraded a station from f29->f32->f35. this is a dual nvidia graphics card with 3 monitors each. I had to switch from kdm to sddm as i had some strange error in initialization of xorg, now this seems ok but sddm-greeter pss is more than 2 GB ram!!!! I think this is insane, does anyone seen this? Thanks a lot! Adrian

KDE manual session saving seems to be missing
by George R Goffe 02 Mar '22

Hi, I haven't used KDE in some time and am trying it again now. I can't seem to find where sessions can be saved. Am I missing something? Doing something wrong? Any/all hints tips suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Best regards and STAY SAFE! George...

Patrick, Thank you for responding. I think I'm using X11 since I manually issue a "startx" command and am using my ".xinitrc" file. How do you start Wayland? How do you tell if you're running Wayland Best regards, George... By the way, one of "our" other mailing list viewers (Sérgio Basto <sergio(a)serjux.com>) pointed me to this solution and it's working GREAT. Thanks to him AND you for your help!

Release criteria proposal: networking requirements
by Adam Williamson 01 Mar '22

01 Mar '22

Hi folks! So at this week's blocker review meeting, the fact that we don't have explicit networking requirements in the release criteria really started to bite us. In the past we have squeezed networking-related issues in under other criteria, but for some issues that's really difficult, notably VPN issues. So, we agreed we should draft some explicit networking criteria. This turns out to be a big area and quite hard to cover (who'd've thought!), but here is at least a first draft for us to start from. My proposal would be to add this to the Basic criteria. I have left out some wikitext stuff from the proposal for clarity; I'd add it back in on actually applying the proposed changes. It's just formatting stuff, nothing that'd change the meaning. Anyone have thoughts, complaints, alternative approaches, supplements? Thanks! === Network requirements === Each of these requirements apply to both installer and installed system environments. For any given installer environment, the 'default network configuration tools' are considered to be those the installer documents as supported ways to configure networking (e.g. for anaconda-based environments, configuration via kernel command line options, a kickstart, or interactively in anaconda itself are included). ==== Basic networking ==== It must be possible to establish both IPv4 and IPv6 network connections using DHCP and static addressing. The default network configuration tools for the console and for release-blocking desktops must work well enough to allow typical network connection configuration operations without major workarounds. Standard network functions such as address resolution and connections with common protocols such as ping, HTTP and ssh must work as expected. Footnote titled "Supported hardware": Supported network hardware is hardware for which the Fedora kernel includes drivers and, where necessary, for which a firmware package is available. If support for a commonly-used piece or type of network hardware that would usually be present is omitted, that may constitute a violation of this criterion, after consideration of the [[Blocker_Bug_FAQ|hardware-dependent- issues|normal factors for hardware-dependent issues]]. Similarly, violations of this criteria that are hardware or configuration dependent are, as usual, subject to consideration of those factors when determining whether they are release-blocking ==== VPN connections ==== Using the default network configuration tools for the console and for release-blocking desktops, it must be possible to establish a working connection to common OpenVPN, openconnect-supported and vpnc-supported VNC servers with typical configurations. Footnote title "Supported servers and configurations": As there are many different VPN server applications and configurations, blocker reviewers must use their best judgment in determining whether violations of this criterion are likely to be encountered commonly enough to block a release, and if so, at which milestone. As a general principle, the more people are likely to use affected servers and the less complicated the configuration required to hit the bug, the more likely it is to be a blocker. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net
