Release criteria proposal: networking requirements
by Adam Williamson 01 Mar '22

01 Mar '22

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. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

NVIDIA Question
by David St.Clair 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

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, -- David St.Clair dstclair(a)cs.wcu.edu

Mouse goes crazy
by Jonathan Villa 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

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. ???

Proposal to modify: Working Sound Beta Release Criterion
by Lukas Ruzicka 23 Feb '21

23 Feb '21

Hello friends of Fedora, I have been thinking about a proposal to modify the %subj. I have tried several version and I did not like any, so finally I am proposing this text: *Working sound* *The installed system must be able to play back and record audio.* This is a very short and general version, but I believe it supports the following: 1. Playback and recording must work (which we want) 2. You can test on any application you like (The recording test case will recommend Audacity) 3. It does not say that all applications must work, so we should be fine if *some do* What do you think? -- Lukáš Růžička FEDORA QE, RHCE Red Hat <https://www.redhat.com> Purkyňova 115 612 45 Brno - Královo Pole lruzicka(a)redhat.com TRIED AND PERSONALLY TESTED, ERGO TRUSTED. <https://redhat.com/trusted>

criterion proposal: prevent services timing out on system shutdown
by Kamil Paral 22 Feb '21

22 Feb '21

*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? [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_32_Final_Release_Criteria#System_serv…

Proposal to Modify: Testcase dualboot with macOS
by Geoffrey Marr 07 Feb '21

07 Feb '21

Hi all, I have spent the last two days experimenting with Fedora 33 on a 2017 12" Macbook (Macbook10,1). Unlike some previous Macs I have installed Fedora on, out-of-the box peripheral support is fantastic. I didn't have to install a single driver myself, everything was included. /praise over After reviewing our "dualboot with macOS" testcase [0], I noticed that the testcase says it's based on a Mac running macOS 10.12 Sierra. At this point in time, macOS Sierra is almost 5 years old. I would like to update this testcase to reflect that it supports *any* OS from macOS 10.12 Sierra to macOS 11 Big Sur. I have tested these myself for compatibility and find that they all provide the necessary means for a dualboot install. On a side note, I would also like to include a small notice within the testcase that mentions that Fedora is *not* supported on the new Apple Silicon M1 computers and that this testcase only applies to Intel-based Macs. I have made these changes as I see them to my own wiki page [1]. Please review the page and propose any suggestions here. Feedback is welcome. If I don't hear any major squawks in a week or so, I will merge the changes into the official Fedora QA wiki.

Respins for OEM preloads
by Matthew Miller 07 Feb '21

07 Feb '21

A large computer vendor with whom we have a friendly relationship would like to update the image they're shipping on their systems so that 1) new users don't have quite so many updates immediately and 2) auiu newer kernel helps with some upcoming things *vague vague handwavy vague*. I can think of four possibilities: 1. Sure, use the live-respins! 2. The live-respins are unofficial, but we have run [this specific workstation iso] through our standard validation tests and we recommend it for your use. 3. Use the netinstall and choose "apply updates" (or whatever that option is called) when making your distribution image. 4. Uh, sorry, we got nothin'. In all cases, they will run through their own internal testing and validation. And, because of calendar things, they'd really love an answer before the 26th of this month, which I know is short notice. Of the above, I think #2 is the best, but requires someone other than me to do significant work. Sooooo, I'm raising it here. :) -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

Fedora SOAS 33 Beta Startup Goes Straight to Login Screen
by Chihurumnaya Ibiam 06 Feb '21

06 Feb '21

I just tried testing the Fedora SOAS 33 beta and after starting it it goes straight to a login screen when I haven't setup any accounts, the image is supposed to boot into the sugar desktop startup screen, the installation was done in a vm.

F33 testing request: bluetooth mice
by Adam Williamson 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Hi folks! A new proposed blocker bug showed up today: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1874082 the issue is that if you have a bluetooth mouse working, then suspend the system, when you resume the bluetooth mouse will not be working any more. You have to go into the GNOME Bluetooth settings applet to get it to work again. So far we have two reports, but they happened to have the exact same mouse. Can other folks who have bluetooth mice (and even, perhaps, other bluetooth hardware - keyboards, headsets?) - ideally different ones! - please test this and report their findings either here or to the bug? It's important to know what range of hardware this affects. Thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net
