Testing request: Mac dualboot
by Adam Williamson 11 Apr '23

11 Apr '23

Hey folks! It'd be really great if anyone who has an Intel Mac that's safe for experimenting on can try doing a dual-boot install of Fedora 38 on it. Our (the RH Fedora QA team) initial test of this had an issue where no option to boot macOS could be found after the Fedora install; a repeat test didn't show the same problem, but it would be great to have tests from other folks to verify it was just a one-time blip. Obviously don't try this on a Mac you really need to keep working, or which you don't know how to recover if it does get messed up. Thanks a lot! -- Adam Williamson (he/him/his) Fedora QA Fedora Chat: @adamwill:fedora.im | Mastodon: @adamw@fosstodon.org https://www.happyassassin.net

List of gnome shell extension packages that don't declare compatibility with Gnome Shell 44 (f38beta)
by Robin A. Meade 09 Apr '23

09 Apr '23

On Fedora 38 beta, I ran my script [1] to list gnome shell extension packages that don't declare compatibility with Gnome 44 [1]: https://gist.github.com/robin-a-meade/23e40aa4c966b4e411e8b5f1b0b3eb53 23 extension packages do declare compatibility with Gnome 44 18 extension packages don't declare compatibility with Gnome 44 I would recommend dropping packages that haven't declared compatibility with at least Gnome 40. Those would be these 5 packages: gnome-shell-extension-disconnect-wifi-17-12.fc38.noarch.rpm shell-version in metadata.json doesn't include "44" shell-version: ["3.10","3.14","3.16","3.18","3.20","3.22","3.24","3.26"] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gnome-shell-extension-disconnect-wifi/ Upstream (https://github.com/kgshank/gse-disconnect-wifi) supports up to Gnome 42 gnome-shell-extension-pidgin-1.0.3-12.fc38.noarch.rpm shell-version in metadata.json doesn't include "44" shell-version: ["3.10","3.11","3.12","3.14","3.16","3.18","3.20","3.21.90","3.21.91","3.22"] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gnome-shell-extension-pidgin/ Upstream (https://github.com/muffinmad/pidgin-im-gnome-shell-extension) supports up to Gnome 43 gnome-shell-extension-refresh-wifi-6.0-12.fc38.noarch.rpm shell-version in metadata.json doesn't include "44" shell-version: ["3.10","3.14","3.16","3.18","3.20","3.22","3.24","3.26"] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gnome-shell-extension-refresh-wifi Upstream (https://github.com/kgshank/gse-refresh-wifi) supports up to Gnome 42 gnome-shell-extension-suspend-button-19-12.20171024gita812520.fc38.noarch.rpm shell-version in metadata.json doesn't include "44" shell-version: ["3.10","3.12","3.14","3.16","3.18","3.20","3.22","3.24","3.26"] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gnome-shell-extension-suspend-button Upstream (https://github.com/laserb/gnome-shell-extension-suspend-button) supports up to Gnome 3.34 gnome-shell-extension-unite-8-13.fc38.noarch.rpm shell-version in metadata.json doesn't include "44" shell-version: ["3.18","3.20","3.22","3.24","3.26"] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gnome-shell-extension-unite Upstream (https://github.com/hardpixel/unite-shell/) supports up to Gnome 44

07 Apr '23

We've branched F38 from Rawhide, so it's time to start everyone's favorite Friday email from Ben! The F38 Beta freeze begins on 21 February. The current target release date is the early target date (2023-03-14). Action summary ==================== Accepted blockers ----------------- 1–3. distribution — {Workstation,Everything,Server} boot x86_64 image exceeds maximum size — ASSIGNED ACTION: Relevant Teams to reduce image size or increase the limit Proposed blockers ----------------- 1. anaconda — installer fails to boot in text mode or rescue mode with systemd 253 — MODIFIED ACTION: Maintainers to build an update that includes upstream PR 2. grub2 — ext4 filessystem support missing — NEW ACTION: Maintainer to diagnose issue NEEDINFO: ausil 3. kwin — kwin_wayland often crashed when used as the sddm Wayland compositor and logging out of Plasma resulting in a black screen — NEW ACTION: Maintainer to diagnose issue 4. mesa — KDE crashes on start with mesa-23.0.0~rc3-3.fc38 — ASSIGNED ACTION: Maintainer to diagnose issue Bug-by-bug detail ============= Accepted blockers ----------------- 1–3. distribution — {Workstation,Everything,Server} boot x86_64 image exceeds maximum size — ASSIGNED https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2149246 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2151495 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2151497 Image sizes exceed the specified limits. The choices are to either shrink the image by removing packages or to riase the limits. Proposed blockers ----------------- 1. anaconda — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2165433 — MODIFIED installer fails to boot in text mode or rescue mode with systemd 253 anaconda is writing systemd units to an unexpected area. Upstream PR 4534 contains a candidate fix: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/4534 2. grub2 — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2166412 — NEW ext4 filessystem support missing Between grub2-2.06-76 and grub2-2.06-78, grub2 apparently lost the ability to detect ext4 filesystems. 3. kwin — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2168034 — NEW kwin_wayland often crashed when used as the sddm Wayland compositor and logging out of Plasma resulting in a black screen Logging out of Plasma sometimes triggers a kwin crash. This may be limited to running in a virtual machine. 4. mesa — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2164667 — ASSIGNED KDE crashes on start with mesa-23.0.0~rc3-3.fc38 A recent mesa update caused both GNOME and KDE to crash on start. Update FEDORA-2023-40b973fa06 fixed GNOME, but KDE is still seeing this issue. The root cause is still uncertain. -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Fedora Program Manager Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis

new criterion proposal: Window manager functionality
by Kamil Paral 06 Apr '23

06 Apr '23

Related to a recently proposed blocker [1][2], I propose a new release criterion which would cover such cases. Here it is: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The desktop environment must work correctly when displaying common application content - that includes regular application windows, video output, games and possibly other common content. Regular operations like windows close/resize/maximize/minimize/fullscreen (when supported/applicable), windows switching, using windows on virtual workspaces, and similar common operations must behave as expected. Footnote - "What does this cover?": A small number of misbehaving applications is not a violation of this criterion. The goal of this criterion is to ensure general functionality for different types of applications and their operations. An example of a violation would be e.g. if a significant number of QT applications couldn't be resized (but they should be), or if all Java applications failed to display any content. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I think this criterion could target F38 Beta Release Criteria [3] or Basic Release Criteria [4]. Please tell me your thoughts, thanks!

Request for Testing: realmd join kickstart (Active Directory variant)
by Tim Flink 04 Apr '23

04 Apr '23

When I was testing the latest F38 nightly yesterday, I hit an issue when trying to use a kickstart to join an Active Directory domain at install time [1] and was able to regularly reproduce the issue. If this is reproducible, it's a pretty clear blocker and I filed it in rhbz: - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2184223 Earlier today, I suddenly stopped being able to reproduce the issue and the other person who generally runs the AD tests has been unable to reproduce the issue at all. If anyone has the available cycles, more reproduction attempts would be appreciated. I really don't like "this magically fixed itself" because those issues can resurface and if they do, it's usually at the worst possible time. To be clear, this test is against a windows active directory controller - the freeipa variant of the same test is run regularly by OpenQA and has shown no failures. If you have questions about setting up a domain controller for testing, feel free to reach out here, direct email or IRC/Matrix. Thanks, Tim [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_realmd_join_kickstart
