Fedora 25 switchable graphics Test Day this Thursday, 2016-11-03
by Adam Williamson 31 Oct '16

31 Oct '16

Yep, it's Test Day time again - most likely the final Test Day of the Fedora 25 cycle. This Thursday, 2016-11-03, will be [switchable graphics Test Day][1]! 'Switchable graphics' refers to the fairly common current practice of laptops having two graphics adapters, one low-power one for general purpose use, one more powerful one for use with applications that require more oomph (e.g. games or 3D rendering applications). NVIDIA brands this as 'Optimus', and AMD just as 'Switchable Graphics' or 'Dynamic Switchable Graphics'. There are some [enhancements][2] to Fedora's support for such systems in Fedora 25, and part of the Test Day's purpose is to test those enhancements. The other part of the Test Day's purpose is to ensure that support for switchable graphics on Fedora 25 Workstation with [Wayland by default][3] is as good as it can be, and that in some cases where we know Wayland support is not sufficient, fallback to X.org works as expected. If you're not sure whether you have a system with switchable graphics, you can run `xrandr --listproviders`. If the output from this command lists more than one 'provider', you likely have switchable graphics. If you do, please come along to the Test Day and help us test, if you can spare the time. If you believe your system has switchable graphics, but the command only lists one provider, please come join the Test Day chat on the day - we may be able to investigate and figure out what's going on! The [Test Day page][1] and the test cases are still being revised and tweaked as I write this, but as the week goes along, all the instructions you need to run the tests will be present there. As always, the event will be in #fedora-test-day on Freenode IRC. If you don’t know how to use IRC, you can read [these instructions][4], or just use [WebIRC][5].

Proposal to CANCEL: 2016-10-31 Fedora QA Meeting
by Adam Williamson 30 Oct '16

30 Oct '16

Hi folks! I'm proposing we cancel the QA meeting tomorrow. I don't have any topics lined up, and we are mostly focused on Fedora 24 Final release validation now I think, apart from the re-scheduled hybrid graphics Test Day which Sumantro and I will prepare for (that's on 2016-11-03). If you think there is something we need to discuss, please do reply to this mail and we can go ahead and schedule the meeting! Thanks. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

# F25 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2016-10-24 # Time: 16:00 UTC # Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net Hi folks! We currently have 2 proposed Final blockers and 2 proposed Final freeze exceptions to review. There are also 5 accepted Final blockers to check in on. If you have time this weekend, 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/ . 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.

Proposal to CANCEL: 2016-10-17 Fedora QA Meeting
by Adam Williamson 14 Oct '16

14 Oct '16

Hi folks! I'm proposing we cancel the QA meeting on Monday; I don't think there's anything immediately pressing to discuss, so why not take the hour off? Next week we might want to do a Test Day retrospective and check on the status of Wayland ahead of the Final release, but I think it can wait till 10-24. If you think there is something we need to discuss on 10-17, please do reply to this mail and we can go ahead and schedule the meeting! Thanks. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

Fedora 25 Workstation Wayland-by-default Test Day report
by Adam Williamson 14 Oct '16

14 Oct '16

Hi folks! [Yesterday's Test Day][1] on Wayland-by-default was a great success! Here's the Test Day report. 49 testers combined ran a total of 341 tests and filed or referenced 35 bugs. 9 of those have since been closed as duplicates, leaving 26 open reports: * [#1299505][2] gnome-calculator prints "Currency LTL is not provided by IMF or ECB" in Financial mode * [#1330034][3] [abrt] calibre: QObject::disconnect() : python2.7 killed by SIGSEGV * [#1367846][4] Scrolling is way too fast in writer * [#1376471][5] global menu can't be used for 15-30 seconds, startup notification stuck, missing item in alt+tab (on wayland) * [#1379098][6] [Regression] Gnome-shell crashes on switching back from tty ([abrt] gnome-shell: wl_resource_post_event() : gnome-shell killed by SIGSEGV) * [#1383471][7] [abrt] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 12176 at ./include/linux/swap.h:276 page_cache_tree_insert+0x1cc/0x1e0 * [#1384431][8] activities screen shows applications and search results at the same time * [#1384440][9] dragging gnome dash application to a specific workplace doesn't open the application to this workspace (on wayland) * [#1384489][10] Music not recognizing/importing files * [#1384502][11] Recent tab not available * [#1384537][12] Opening a new gnome-software window creates a new entry without a proper icon * [#1384546][13] Removing application does not bring back the install icon immediately * [#1384551][14] Printing directions using maps do not show the marked path * [#1384560][15] Screenshot of gnome-maps does not show the map part at all * [#1384569][16] Places dropdown search does not function if weather is open on secondary monitor * [#1384570][17] gnome-initial-setup does not exit at the end * [#1384572][18] Places dropdown search does not function if clocks is open on secondary monitor * [#1384590][19] [abrt] gnome-photos: babl_get_name() : gnome-photos killed by SIGABRT * [#1384596][20] gnome-boxes: starting fails without any feedback * [#1384599][21] gnome-calculator currency conversion is hard to use * [#1384616][22] thumbnail "border" seems misaligned in activities overview * [#1384651][23] Selecting city should automatically be added on Clock Application * [#1384665][24] [abrt] authconfig-gtk: gdk_window_enable_synchronized_configure() : python2.7 killed by SIGSEGV * [#1384671][25] system-config-language does not work under Wayland * [#1384675][26] system-config-users does not work under Wayland * [#1384678][27] Missing top-left icon (and full application name) on Wayland Some of these are not Wayland bugs, but it's not a bad thing that people found some non-Wayland bugs as well while testing! We did find several new Wayland issues, but on the positive side, no really big bugs that weren't already known and on the radar for the final release. So the event looks like a success on all fronts: we found some new bugs to squish, but it also gives us a decent indication that the Workstation-on-Wayland experience is in a good enough condition for a first stable release. We also confirmed that the Workstation-on-X11 session is available as a fallback and that works properly, for anyone who can't use Wayland for any reason. Many thanks to all the testers for their hard work!
