October 2011 - test-announce - Fedora Mailing-Lists

by Adam Williamson

Hey, folks. Just thought I'd send out an overview of remaining unaddressed F16 blockers, in case anyone can help with them. We were scheduled to do the F16 RC compose today, but with these unaddressed, we can't. We hope we'll be able to do the compose tomorrow, but if blockers remain unaddressed, we'll fall back to doing a compose labelled TC3 so we can at least test and ensure that the release is ready aside from the remaining known blockers. 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 is working on this one and currently expects to have a fix ready for tomorrow. 2. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731245 "KDE fails to start inside a VM , large amount of memory [@ miCopyRegion]" Any input on this bug is welcome; it's easy enough to reproduce (download any post-Alpha F16 KDE live image and try to boot to a desktop within a typical virt-manager created KVM). Soren has said he'll look at this tomorrow, but any other contributions would be good. 3. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=736893 "New Install of Fedora 16 TC1 on iBFT iSCSI NIC fails on first reboot" We're still rather looking for information from the reporter here, but if others have iSCSI-capable setups it would be good to have more testing. Tim Flink from the QA team has done successful iSCSI testing, but that's only one data point. 4. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=743273 "grub2 fails to install on IMSM raid device" This is another where we could probably do with more data: we know install to Intel BIOS RAID *can* work, but it also seems somewhat fragile. Jes had various issues in some of his tests but eventually got it to work; pjones and I have had successful tests but I also had a couple of that failed with similar errors to Jes'. More tests of installs of F16 Final TC2 to Intel BIOS RAID might help establish exactly where the bugs are. 5. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748747 "Totem doesn't display video when using software 3D rendering" ajax is planning to look at this one tomorrow, I believe, but again, it would be great to have input from anyone else who's able to help fix the issue. Note that the issue affects most GNOME components which do video - not just totem, but cheese and empathy also. Video is broken when using software 3D in all of them. Thanks everyone! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

F16 Final testing request: non-Intel BIOS RAID

by Adam Williamson

Hey, folks. If anyone has a non-Intel BIOS RAID controller in a system they can blow away for testing, can you please take a look at the potential fix for: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742226 you should be able to reproduce the bug just by trying to install F16 Final TC2 to a non-Intel BIOS RAID array, they all seem to be broken. To try to fix, install again, adding my side repository at the repo stage. Verify that grub2 -11 gets installed as part of the install, and see if that fixes the problem. Thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

Note on live installs of F16 TC1

by Adam Williamson

Hey, folks. So we pinned down that mysterious 'F16 Desktop live x86_64 install boots to a black screen' bug. Turns out that liveinst will always corrupt a small amount of data on install with anaconda 16.21; it's actually also happening in all the other live images that 'aren't affected', it's just that the chunk of data it happens to corrupt on the desktop x86_64 image is a couple of crucial system libraries so the bug is really obvious. On the other images it corrupts files that are not so crucial, so the system appears to boot correctly. We have a fix for this now, thanks to Brian Lane, and it'll be in the next anaconda build and in TC2, which we'll probably roll tomorrow. In the mean time, if you're doing live installs of TC1 for testing, please always use this updates.img: http://bcl.fedorapeople.org/updates/746844.img you can use an updates.img for a live install by passing 'updates=http://bcl.fedorapeople.org/updates/746844.img' as a kernel parameter or by running 'liveinst --updates=http://bcl.fedorapeople.org/updates/746844.img' to start the live installer after boot. Even if you're not affected by the really obvious case of this bug, anaconda _will_ be corrupting some other system file on install, it's just not as immediately noticeable - so use the updates image! Thanks everyone. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net
