# F44 Blocker Review meeting
# Date: 2026-04-20
# 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 4
proposed blockers and 3 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].

check out these links:

- 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:

Have a good day and see you tomorrow!

A specific call for testing, here: it'd be great if folks with hardware
they can do test installs on could do an encrypted install and check
whether graphics work at passphrase entry. We have a couple of proposed
blocker bugs reporting problems at this stage, one on a Dell XPS 13
Plus - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2441941 - where "the
LUKS passphrase screen looks OK until I start typing the password, then
the Plymouth screen disappears and the screen start flickering with a
sort of blank screen", one on Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 13 -
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2455924 - where the display
is just blank. It'd be good to get a sense of whether other folks are
seeing similar issues. It'd also be useful to know if the same problem
happens on F42 / F43, if you do have an issue.

Note this one probably isn't a true "RC", as we have several
outstanding blockers which likely can't all be waived. But we wanted to
have a candidate compose built to make sure the mechanism is well-
oiled, and encourage testing from folks who don't test nightlies (but
please, do test the nightlies!)
The 'RC' name is sort of deeply wired into the compose process, so we
can't really make candidates for Final which don't show the 'RC' name,
unfortunately.
