# F44 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2026-03-30 # Time: 16:00 UTC # Location: https://matrix.to/#/#blocker-review:fedoraproject.org?web-instance[element.… Hi folks! It's time for a Fedora 44 blocker review meeting! We have 2 proposed blockers and 2 proposed freeze exception for Final. Here is a handy link which should show you the meeting time in your local time: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Fedora+43+Blocker… The meeting will be on Matrix. Click the link above to join in a web client - you can authenticate with your FAS account - or use a dedicated client of your choosing. If you have time today, 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 F44 can be found on the wiki [0].

Call for testing: Fedora 44 Final validation tests (don't wait for candidates!)
by Adam Williamson 16 Mar '26

16 Mar '26

Hi folks! I just wanted to send out a call to emphasize that it's really important for us to run all the Final validation tests *now*, so we can catch any blocker bugs as early as possible and have time to work on them calmly. It's not good to wait for the "candidate" composes because we really only do those when we're nearly ready to release; it's intended that until that time, we test on Beta or the nightly composes that are nominated for release validation events. You can always find the summary page for the most recently-nominated nightly here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Summary that page is synthesized (via scary wiki magic) from the individual results pages, where you'll find full instructions and download links: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Server_Test https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Base_Test https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Cloud_Test Testing the nightlies is a bit preferred to testing the Beta as they have newer bits, but it's still useful to run the Final tests on Beta, if you want to do that, the pages are: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_44_Beta_1.2_Summary https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_44_Beta_1.2_Installation https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_44_Beta_1.2_Server https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_44_Beta_1.2_Base https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_44_Beta_1.2_Desktop https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_44_Beta_1.2_Cloud It would be awesome if folks can help make sure as many Final tests have been run as possible. If you find any bugs, please report them to Bugzilla and propose them as blockers if appropriate via https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/propose_bug . The test cases almost all link to the release criteria they relate to, you can read those to see if the bug seems like a blocker; if you're not sure but it feels serious, go ahead and propose it, we can always reject it! There is a 'longitudinal' view of the validation results at https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/testcase_stats/44/ . You can use that to find tests that have not been run at all for F44 yet, or not run for a long time. Look for rows with red backgrounds especially.

Difference in Kamoso in f43 and f44.
by Sergio Cipolla 16 Mar '26

16 Mar '26

Hello. I use f43 KDE. I had to remove Kamoso from my system so awful it is. The webcam video is very choppy like if it was in 10fps (maybe it is). Other apps work fine, like guvcview (which first made me notice that my internal mic wasn't broken when I set it to use proaudio; actually I had the issue of the internal mic boost being on 100% when it must be set to 0), snapshot (GNOME's webcam app) and even the COSMIC camera app which is very nice with its options although still full of little bugs. I was about to open a bug report or so on kamoso when today I booted f44 KDE beta and noticed an extra setting, that doesn't exist in f43 (to make sure it isn't me missing something, it's the same on f43 KDE live-respin). This setting allows to choose between 'V4L2', the default which produces very bad quality video, and 'Integrated C' which works fine like the other apps. https://i.postimg.cc/SstNLmrD/Screenshot-20260314-174716.png Kamoso is even newer in f43 than f44 beta so it isn't a matter of its version. I thought maybe f44 has some extra package and tried to compare the package list from both live systems but couldn't find anything obvious. Do anyone have an idea what's the difference that makes Kamoso finally work in an acceptable way in f44 (although not by default)? Thank you.

Systemd VConsole Issue
by Stephen Morris 09 Mar '26

09 Mar '26

Hi, The F43 systemd-vconsole-setup service fails to start because loadkeys reports it can't find keyboard map "au". The kde system_settings keyboard layout allows the specification of a keyboard layout of "English (Australia)" which is layout "au" which I have set. If I change /etc/vconsole.conf from "KEYMAP=au" to "KEYMAP=us" systemd-vconsole-setup activates quite happily. Given that kde system settings can find keymap "au" (based on it being able to find keyboard layout "au") why can't loadkeys find it, and how do I fix it so that I can use the Australian layout? The other question I have is, what is systemd-vconsole-setup.service actually used for given that with it not activating there doesn't appear to be any impact to KVM, or is that service not relevant to KVM? If I check KVM this issue is not occuring because this service is saying all virtual consoles are busy so it is not going to load keymaps and fonts. Just in addition to this I also at the same time get a message that systemd-vconsole-s.up is also failing, but I don't understand where this is coming from as systemctl tells me that service doesn't exist and dnf does not tell me that any package that provides it, so where is the failure message coming from? regards,
