Anaconda Translation&Keyboard Test Day - Thursday 2010-09-16
by He Rui 15 Sep '10

15 Sep '10

Greetings Testers, Anaconda Translation&Keyboard Test Day is coming up tomorrow: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:Current This day will mainly focus on the translation and keyboard in different languages during installation. Test cases have been well prepared on the wiki page with the help of l10n[1] and i18n[2] team, and the steps are clear for your reference. So if you used to install in your native language or know a second language besides English, this is an opportunity to try them out and help discover the issues in this area. F-14-beta-TC1 images are available for testing in this event, executing tests in virtual guest is also acceptable if you don't have extra space in bare metal. The Test Day will run all day in Freenode IRC #fedora-test-day. See you there!:) [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10n [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/I18N -- Contacts Hurry FAS Name: Rhe Timezone: UTC+8 TEL: 86-010-62608141 IRC nick: rhe #fedora-qa #fedora-zh

We'll be discussing these bugs to determine if they meet the criteria, should stay on the list, and are getting the attention they need: 629719 :: NEW :: anaconda :: Anaconda Maintenance Team :: FormatCreateError: ('invalid device specification', '/dev/md127p3') :: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629719 628239 :: NEW :: anaconda :: Anaconda Maintenance Team :: Fedora 14 Alpha "reduced graphics" creates vesa-using xorg.conf but doesn't blacklist nouveau :: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=628239 608992 :: NEW :: livecd-tools :: David Huff :: Add "Boot system with basic video driver" option at the initial screen :: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=608992 630781 :: NEW :: systemd :: Kernel Maintainer List :: systemd hangs on "Clocksource tsc unstable" error and causes the system to freeze after cpu-scaling detection :: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=630781 630490 :: NEW :: systemd :: Lennart Poettering :: disabled units still get bus activated :: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=630490 631620 :: NEW :: systemd :: Lennart Poettering :: ordering cycles exist (+ breaking them deletes wrong services) :: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=631620 621027 :: NEW :: fedora-logos :: Tom "spot" Callaway :: Graphical screen in anaconda shows F-13 :: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=621027 If you are the owner of any of these bugs, kindly update the comments with your feedback as to whether you believe it is a blocker and what your plans for fixing the bug are. Do you have an issue you believe should be fixed before the Fedora 14 Beta ships? Please consider the following criteria when escalating an issue: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_14_Beta_Release_Criteria John The command used to generate the list of bugs above is: $ bugzilla query --blocked=611991 \ --bug_status=NEW,ASSIGNED,NEEDINFO,ON_DEV,MODIFIED,POST,ON_QA,FAILS_QA,PASSES_QA,REOPENED,VERIFIED,RELEASE_PENDING \ --outputformat="%{bug_id} :: %{bug_status} :: %{component} :: %{assigned_to} :: %{summary} :: %{url}" NOTE: It this command doesn't work on Fedora 14.

2010-09-07 systemd Test Day recap
by Adam Williamson 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

Thanks to everyone who turned out for the systemd Test Day. Here's the recap. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-09-07_Systemd The turnout was good, especially given the late re-schedule of the day (sorry about that!), and it seemed like people did a lot of good testing. Here's the list of bugs exposed by the Test Day: 630914 NEW - Single user mode reported as "unknown" 631160 NEW - kdm is (re)started just before shutdown??? 631588 NEW - KDE couldn't shutdown 631590 NEW - I have a different prompt in single mode 631592 NEW - halt command leaves display at a black screen 624149 ASSIGNED - systemd's shutdown command should follow traditional semantics 627014 ASSIGNED - systemd provided telinit does not work as advertised 630935 MODIFIED - shutdown from init 1 starts default during shutdown process 630915 CLOSED DUPLICATE - Stopping rpcbind (via systemctl): /etc/init.d/killall: line 16: 1654 Terminated /etc/init.d/$subsys stop 631584 CLOSED DUPLICATE - getty and firstboot running on the same virtual console tty As you can see, we've already made a start on triaging and fixing the bugs. FESCo is also discussing the final decision on whether to go ahead with systemd for Fedora 14 in a trac ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/461 Thanks again for all the testing, everyone. Of course, further testing is still useful even though the event is officially over - you can still follow the instructions on the page and contribute your results, and bug reports. Thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

Proven Testers procedure update: updates which do not fix bugs they claim to fix
by Adam Williamson 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Attention all Proven Testers (and all testers, too!) Please note this addition to the proven tester procedure: https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Proven_tester&diff=195994&oldid… basically, an update not fixing a bug it claims to fix is not a cause for negative karma unless it's the *only* change in the update, or the update actually behaves worse than the original package, not just the same as it. Thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

Systemd Test Day on Tuesday 2010/09/07
by Adam Williamson 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

This week's Test Day[1], which will take place on Tuesday 2010/09/07 rather than the more usual Thursday, is on systemd, so it's a very important one! It will also serve at least two functions: as usual, the testing will help us to improve the code so that if it does go into the final Fedora 14 release it will work as well as possible, but the Fedora steering committee will also be using the results of the Test Day to help inform their final decision as to whether to go ahead with systemd for the Beta and final release, or whether to revert to upstart. So there's a lot riding on this Test Day. As usual, the Test Day will run in #fedora-test-day on Freenode IRC - see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_use_IRC if you're not sure how to use IRC. As usual, we've tried to make it as easy as possible to participate. There's full testing instructions on the Test Day wiki page, and you can contribute some helpful testing just by running a nightly live image[2] and making sure it boots correctly. Of course, the more testing you can contribute the better, and there are lots of tests documented on the page for those who have the time and the ability to install a copy of Fedora 14 for testing. We also welcome freeform testing of systemd during the Test Day - it will be very helpful for people simply to configure a test Fedora 14 installation with the configuration you'd typically use, and make sure systemd handles starting the system properly. Lennart and myself will be around as much as we can during the Test Day to help out and follow up on your results. We're both in European time zones at present. Lennart's IRC nick is 'mezcalero', and I'm adamw. Please do come along and help us test out this important new component - it's really important that we get as much testing done as possible. Thanks!
