Blocker fix karma request
by Adam Williamson 29 Oct '11

29 Oct '11

Hey, folks! We could really do with karma on these updates: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2011-15042 (kdepimlibs) https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/qt-4.8.0-0.23.rc1.fc16 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2011-15038 (parted) use my boot.iso from earlier to test https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.0.21-8.fc16 these are all blocker fixes that need karma to be pushed stable and help clear the blocker list, thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

boot.iso testing for parted blocker fix update
by Adam Williamson 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

We have a parted update to fix a new blocker: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=747497 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/parted-3.0-4.fc16 I've built a boot.iso with the updated parted for testing, it's available here: http://adamwill.fedorapeople.org/20111027_preRC1.x64.boot.iso please give it a shot and upkarma the parted update if it looks okay. You can try to test the fix by installing into free space alongside some existing partitions, and checking the installation doesn't change the flags on the existing partitions. thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

Remaining F16 blockers and F16 planning (2011-10-27)
by Adam Williamson 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

[meant to go out last night but failed thanks to internet connection silliness] Yes, it's episode three of the blockbuster 'Remaining F16 blockers' trilogy - thanks for lining up all week, folks, have a complimentary small popcorn. As mentioned last time, we span a TC3 image for testing while we try to zap the remaining blockers: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/16.TC3/ It has the rebuilt glibc and all affected packages rebuilt against that glibc. See the TC3 announce for more details. Onto the main event! 1. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=749661 "repoclosure failure on 16.TC3 DVD - PackageKit-zif-0.6.19-3.fc16 requires zif >= 0:0.2.5" This is new in TC3, but it's straightforward and should be easy to solve for the next compose. No action really needed. 2. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=736893 "New Install of Fedora 16 TC1 on iBFT iSCSI NIC fails on first reboot" We've got more data on this one since last time; given that data it'll likely get dropped from the blocker list, but we'll poke it a bit more first to make sure. 3. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731245 "KDE fails to start inside a VM , large amount of memory [@ miCopyRegion]" We've had some progress on this one today but it still needs work; with qxl driver, KDE no longer crashes, but has serious rendering problems. We also determined the issue with the cirrus driver (which is used in older KVM configs, and 32-bit VMs) is separate and needs to be addressed separately. Soren says he hopes to have this fixed early tomorrow. 4. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=749618 "Mimetype tree is not a DAG!" errors + crashes when using SMI 0.91" This causes crashes in some KDE apps, it's already fixed, so the only action is to pull in the fixed build for the next compose. 5. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=749647 "KDE fails to start in side a VM using the cirrus driver and 'raster' Qt renderer" This is the cirrus KDE bug: we need X developers to fix this if possible. I've tried to contact all who may be able to work on it, including upstream. 6. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748920 "Setting back time breaks boot" We've worked out more stuff about this one since yesterday; we may be able to declare it not a blocker based on the various workarounds available, but we could really do with input from Lennart on why systemd apparently doesn't provide the emergency mode sometimes when systemd-fsck fails. 7. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748747 "Totem doesn't display video when using software 3D rendering" We're still really waiting on ajax (or anyone)... to fix this one. We've confirmed that every test case we've tried with no hardware-accelerated 3D rendering causes broken gstreamer video. 8. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=749516 "date doesn't set persistent date" This is newly proposed and could do with more info, but may well not really be serious enough to take as a blocker. We're obviously pushing the F16 schedule quite hard at this point, but we can still stay on track if we manage to get all the blockers addressed tomorrow; we will try to get all validation tests done against TC3 so we can be reasonably sure there are no other blockers lurking, and that should give us a reasonable chance at spinning an RC1 with the extra fixes that passes testing on the first try. Please, help out with any of the above bugs you can. Thanks everyone! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

Fedora 16 Final Test Compose 3 (TC3) Available Now!
by Adam Williamson 27 Oct '11

27 Oct '11

As per the Fedora 16 schedule [1], Fedora 16 Final Release Candidate 1 should have been composed at this point. However, all blocker bugs have not been addressed, so we are sending out a Fedora 16 Final Test Compose 3 (TC3) with all currently available fixes for testing instead. Please see the following pages for download links (including delta ISOs) and testing instructions. Serverbeach1 is still available as a mirror (but with approximately a 1 hour lag behind dl), so if you are getting a slow download, try replacing "dl" with "serverbeach1" in the download URL. Installation: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test Base: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Base_Test Desktop: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test Security Lab: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Security_Lab_Test Ideally, all Alpha, Beta, and Final priority test cases for Installation [2], Base [3] and Desktop [4] should pass in order to meet the Final Release Criteria [6]. Help is available on #fedora-qa on irc.freenode.net [7], or on the test list [8]. It would be great if we can complete all validation tests on TC3, as we should then be able to pull in the final blocker fixes when they arrive and spin an RC1 which will pass all the tests.

# F16 Final Blocker Review meeting #5 # Date: 2011-10-28 # Time: 17:00 UTC [1] (13:00 EDT, 10:00 PDT) # Location: #fedora-bugzappers on irc.freenode.net The fifth Fedora 16 final blocker bug review meeting will be this Friday at 17:00 UTC in #fedora-bugzappers. We'll be running through the final blockers and nice-to-haves. An updated list of blocker bugs is available at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Current_Release_Blockers. We'll be reviewing the bugs to determine ... 1. Whether they meet the final release criteria [2] and should stay on the list 2. Whether they are getting the attention they need For guidance on Blocker and Nice-to-have (NTH) bugs, refer to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process and https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_nth_bug_process For the blocker review meeting protocol, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting .

Remaining F16 blockers and F16 planning (2011-10-26)
by Adam Williamson 26 Oct '11

26 Oct '11

Hey, folks. This mail brought to you by my ever-increasing empty liquor bottle collection and ever-receding hairline. We unfortunately still have open blockers today, which means we will likely do a TC3 compose tonight instead of RC1. The remaining unaddressed blockers are: 1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=668282 "PackageKit yum backend uses incorrect encoding for dynamic category names, makes them show up with '?' characters in KPackageKit" Nils reported that he would complete work on this today, but has not checked in today at all. This leaves us somewhat stuck, as only Richard Hughes and Nils are really qualified to work on this. Richard is away this week. 2. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731245 "KDE fails to start inside a VM , large amount of memory [@ miCopyRegion]" Soren fixed the initial issue, but KDE on qxl still doesn't really work correctly. Details and logs are in the latest comments on the bug, and I'm currently uploading a live image for convenient reproduction. Again, contributions are welcome here. 3. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=736893 "New Install of Fedora 16 TC1 on iBFT iSCSI NIC fails on first reboot" Again, we're still rather looking for information from the reporter here. Tim may be able to acquire an iBFT NIC for testing today. 4. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748747 "Totem doesn't display video when using software 3D rendering" Did not hear from ajax in relation to this bug today. Again, we really need development input on this one. 5. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=747377 "heap corruption via multi-threaded "git grep"" This is the bug in glibc 12.999 and 13 which can at least potentially cause just about any app to crash. We're in the middle of addressing it; a fixed glibc is out for testing and we are now mass-rebuilding all packages which hit stable since glibc 12.999 made it to the buildroot. This, obviously, isn't speeding up the whole release process any. Thanks everyone! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net
