Release criteria proposal: networking requirements
by Adam Williamson
Hi folks!
So at this week's blocker review meeting, the fact that we don't have
explicit networking requirements in the release criteria really started
to bite us. In the past we have squeezed networking-related issues in
under other criteria, but for some issues that's really difficult,
notably VPN issues. So, we agreed we should draft some explicit
networking criteria.
This turns out to be a big area and quite hard to cover (who'd've
thought!), but here is at least a first draft for us to start from. My
proposal would be to add this to the Basic criteria. I have left out
some wikitext stuff from the proposal for clarity; I'd add it back in
on actually applying the proposed changes. It's just formatting stuff,
nothing that'd change the meaning. Anyone have thoughts, complaints,
alternative approaches, supplements? Thanks!
=== Network requirements ===
Each of these requirements apply to both installer and installed system
environments. For any given installer environment, the 'default network
configuration tools' are considered to be those the installer documents
as supported ways to configure networking (e.g. for anaconda-based
environments, configuration via kernel command line options, a
kickstart, or interactively in anaconda itself are included).
==== Basic networking ====
It must be possible to establish both IPv4 and IPv6 network connections
using DHCP and static addressing. The default network configuration
tools for the console and for release-blocking desktops must work well
enough to allow typical network connection configuration operations
without major workarounds. Standard network functions such as address
resolution and connections with common protocols such as ping, HTTP and
ssh must work as expected.
Footnote titled "Supported hardware": Supported network hardware is
hardware for which the Fedora kernel includes drivers and, where
necessary, for which a firmware package is available. If support for a
commonly-used piece or type of network hardware that would usually be
present is omitted, that may constitute a violation of this criterion,
after consideration of the [[Blocker_Bug_FAQ|hardware-dependent-
issues|normal factors for hardware-dependent issues]]. Similarly,
violations of this criteria that are hardware or configuration
dependent are, as usual, subject to consideration of those factors when
determining whether they are release-blocking
==== VPN connections ====
Using the default network configuration tools for the console and for
release-blocking desktops, it must be possible to establish a working
connection to common OpenVPN, openconnect-supported and vpnc-supported
VNC servers with typical configurations.
Footnote title "Supported servers and configurations": As there are
many different VPN server applications and configurations, blocker
reviewers must use their best judgment in determining whether
violations of this criterion are likely to be encountered commonly
enough to block a release, and if so, at which milestone. As a general
principle, the more people are likely to use affected servers and the
less complicated the configuration required to hit the bug, the more
likely it is to be a blocker.

NVIDIA Question
by David St.Clair
This may be a dumb question, but why can't Redhat distribute NVIDIA binary
drivers?
In NVIDIA's licence (http://www.nvidia.com/object/nv_swlicense.html) it
says:
"2.1.2 Linux Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of Section
2.1.1, SOFTWARE designed exclusively for use on the Linux operating system
may be
copied and redistributed, provided that the binary files thereof are not
modified in any
way (except for unzipping of compressed files)."
So, what's keeping RedHat from putting the drivers in the distribution? If
it's a GPL
thing, would it be easy to just download it during installation or at
least give the option to the user?
Thanks,

Mouse goes crazy
by Jonathan Villa
Ok, I have had Yarrow working well for a while now, but yesterday I
started experiencing some odd issues with my mouse. All of a sudden it
stops working correctly. The only thing that seems to fix is to kill X
and run mouse-test, then restart.
Any ideas?
Also, I have FC 1 running on a desktop which is hooked up to a KVM
switch. Whenever I go to another PC, and return, the same thing
happens, the mouse goes crazy.

criterion proposal: prevent services timing out on system shutdown
by Kamil Paral
*Why*
The recent spice-vdagent update causes all virtual machines to take 90
seconds longer on every shutdown/reboot:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1813667
The service hangs when systemd tries to stop it, and systemd then kills it
after a 90 second timeout expires.
This is a recurring pattern, I saw services blocking shutdown/reboot in the
past, and so far we haven't been able to do anything about it from a
blocker perspective. I think that for cases where the problem occurs very
frequently or every time, we should have a way to block the release until
it's fixed. I find it a very poor experience to wait 90+ seconds for
machine reboot/shutdown. Much poorer than, say, a crashing desktop
application (which we block on), because that application can be replaced
with a different one. System services mostly can't be replaced, and
certainly not by a general user.
*Proposal*
So I propose to amend the "System services" criterion [1]:
```
All system services present after installation with one of the
release-blocking package sets must start properly, unless they require
hardware which is not present.
```
with something like this:
```
All system services present after installation with one of the
release-blocking package sets must start properly, unless they require
hardware which is not present.
*All system services present after installation with one of the
release-blocking package sets must not time out frequently or regularly
when they are being stopped during system reboot/shutdown.*
```
The way it is written, the mentioned bug would be a conditional violation
of that criterion (applies only to VMs) and we'd need to use our judgement
to determine whether it's a blocker.
Thoughts?

for instance is not worth filling as it comes from fusion and fusion as

Bug-by-bug detail
=============
Accepted blockers
-----------------
1. libreport — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1860616 — POST
abrt-server errors when processing zstd compressed core dumps produced
by systemd-246~rc1-1.fc33
abrt doesn't support core dumps compressed with zstd, which is now
used by systemd. Merged upstream PR uses libarchive to add support for
zstd (and other compression formats):
https://github.com/abrt/libreport/pull/656.
2. resteasy — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1866570 — NEW
FreeIPA deployment fails in current Rawhide due to various issues with Java 11
Deploying FreeIPA fails with a traceback in pki-tomcat. This appears
to be a dependency chain issue that (currently) ends at resteasy via
dogtag-pki. This may not be the last layer in the Java 11 onion.
3. sddm — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1861700 — NEW
login stuck when changing users repeatedly (log out, log in a different one)
This is now a blocker based on a recent approval-in-principle of a
release criterion related to logout and user switching. User processes
linger after logout which blocks logging in when another user has
logged in between the two sessions. Or when the second user logs back
in. Or when a single user logs in repeatedly. Using
KillUserProcesses=Yes helps the first problem, but raises on of its
own. It appears to be a race condition of some kind as the behavior is
not fully consistent.
4. selinux-policy — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1862686 — POST
SELinux is preventing systemd-machine from 'create' accesses on the
sock_file io.systemd.Machine.
librvirt VMs and systemd-machined service fail with AVC denials.
Merged upstream PRs should fix the denials mentioned in this bug:
https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy/pull/405 and
https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy/pull/407
5. tomcat — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1857043 — MODIFIED
FreeIPA server deployment fails in Fedora-Rawhide-20200714.n.0 due to
pki-tomcat failing to run with "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.apache.tomcat.util.modeler.modules.MbeansDescriptorsIntrospectionSource"
An upstream commit resulted in tomcat-coyote.jar missing packages. A
previous fix (FEDORA-2020-f897a68801) moved the goalposts.
tomcat-9.0.37-3 should fix this. Verification is blocked on BZ1866570,
but Adam's most recent upgrade test still fails with a
ClassNotFoundException for
com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.ContextFactory.
Proposed blockers
-----------------
1. gnome-shell — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1830343 — NEW
Network manager started stuck when I tries connecting to VPN
(openconnect) after upgrade gnome-shell to 3.37.1-1.fc33 version
Connecting to an OpenConnect VPN using 2FA hangs after the second
factor is entered. The journal contains an array.toString() message
which may or may not be a red herring (it looks like a deprecation
warning).
2. systemd — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1863041 — NEW
systemd-resolved.service not work with DNS server placed behind VPN
(openconnect)
When connected to an OpenConnect VPN, host name resolution fails.
Manually disabling the systemd-resolved service works around this
issue.
3. udisks2 — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1861463 — NEW
zram-setup(a)zram0.service: Failed to load configuration: No such file
or directory
Installation on armhfp and aarch64 single-board computers fails with
zram-setup errors. It appears to be a conflict betwen udisks2-zram and
zram-generator-defaults. Update FEDORA-2020-e143a283fb renamse the
service unit file to make its origin more obvious. Removing
udisks2-zram fixes the issue, but it's pulled in as a dependency of
something, so that needs to be identified.

sort of Rawhide related
by David
My install of Rawhide had a nice update today.
Below is just a screenshot showing two appimages running that
I recently briefly mentioned. The beta version of Krita and Firefox.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ri1m0uyuyr4jhz/Rawhide_9-30.png?dl=0
Along with some read-outs from inxi showing the rc7 kernel and mesa 20.2.0
along with my hardware specifications.
htop looks normal with the YouTube video playing, but I didn't show it.
I think somewhere on the internet, it should say that newbies should not
use appimages for their web-browser, as my experience with that has been
negative. But for tinkering with this beta of Krita, appimages seems like
a good idea,
but not for people new to Linux, at least not in 2020. However, they
are no harder
to use than a printer-driver, maybe even easier, than a printer-driver.
