Fedora-40-20240217.n.0 won't install

by Ian Laurie

I'm guessing this is a known issue but using Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-40-20240217.n.0.iso to install an Xfce workstation as a VirtualBox VM resulted in an aborted installation. Error was: === The following error occurred while installing the payload. This is a fatal error and the installation will be aborted. An error occurred during the transaction: Error in POSTIN scriptlet in rpm package dbus-common === Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-Rawhide-20240216.n.0.iso from the previous day gives the same error. As a sanity check I installed Fedora 39 from Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-39-1.5.iso and it worked. -- Ian Laurie FAS: nixuser | IRC: nixuser TZ: Australia/Sydney

2024-02-26 @ 17:00 UTC - Fedora 40 Blocker Review Meeting

by Adam Williamson

# F40 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2024-02-26 # Time: 17:00 UTC # Location: https://matrix.to/#/#blocker-review:fedoraproject.org?web-instance[elemen... Hi folks! It's time for another blocker review meeting. We have 7 proposed blockers and 4 proposed freeze exception for Beta, and 5 proposed blockers for Final. The meeting will be on Matrix. Click the link above to join in a web client - you can authenticate with your FAS account - or use a dedicated client of your choosing. I'll be on vacation on Monday, so Frantisek Zatloukal will be running the meeting, thanks Franta! 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/ . Remember, you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings! If you look at the bug list in the blockerbugs app, you'll see links labeled "Vote!" next to all proposed blockers and freeze exceptions. Those links take you to tickets where you can vote. https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review has instructions on how exactly you do it. We usually go through the tickets shortly before the meeting and apply any clear votes, so the meeting will just cover bugs where there wasn't a clear outcome in the ticket voting yet. **THIS MEANS IF YOU VOTE NOW, THE MEETING WILL BE SHORTER!** 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. Information on the release criteria for F40 can be found on the wiki [0]. For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process, check out these links: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out the SOP on the wiki: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting Have a good weekend and see you on Monday!

libgsystem FTBFS (Issue 2225969)

by Jeffrey Walton

Hi Everyone, libgsystem is not building from source for F39 and F40. Cf., <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2225969>. The problem seems to stem from glibsystem-devel. libgsystem adds a step in its build process when glibsystem-devel is installed (the GISCAN below). If glibsystem-devel is not installed, then step is skipped (no GISCAN) and no error occurs. CCLD libglnx.la CCLD libgsystem.la GISCAN GSystem-1.0.gir src/gsystem-glib-compat.h:34: Warning: GSystem: symbol='g_clear_pointer': Skipping foreign symbol from namespace Gio /builddir/build/BUILD/libgsyst em-2015.2/tmp-introspectlvqqyft1/GSystem-1.0.c: In function ‘dump_properties’: /builddir/build/BUILD/libgsystem-2015.2/tmp-introspectlvqqyft1/GSystem-1.0.c:229:7: error: ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code [-Werror=declaration-after-statement] 229 | const GValue *v = g_param_spec_get_default_value (prop); | ^~~~~ The fix is easy. However, tmp-introspectlvqqyft1/GSystem-1.0.c uses a random directory name, so we can't really provide a patch since the name is a moving target. Fedora's bug tracker does not have a glibsystem component to file the bug against. How to proceed? Thanks in advance.

reversible dual-boot test station

by Chris Murphy

Hi, I mentioned this in a QA meeting, and have given it enough testing that I think it's broadly usable. If desired it can be copied out of my user account and put up somewhere where QA folks will see it and can modify it as issues or improvements are discovered. What is it? The idea is to produce a system that can confidently be used for baremetal testing, without risking the primary operating system. While VM's are a great way to test, it's also a really idealized environment that tends to not expose an assortment of bugs that affect particular hardware. But then quite a lot of folks reasonably don't want to upgrade their daily use hardware early on, because they don't want to always have to debug things, or have to figure out how to undo the upgrade if it really goes badly. Therefore, I present a dual-boot setup offering: * no re-partitioning; * no installation step, instead system upgrade is used; * reversibility, or undoability, i.e. with just a few steps you can delete the "test OS". https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Chrismurphy/Draft/dualboot_teststation -- Chris Murphy

How to work on Failure To Build From Sources (FTBFS) bug reports?

by Jeffrey Walton

Hi Everyone, I have a C/C++ background, and I am interested in helping clear some of the FTBFS backlogged bug reports at <https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/releases/f40/> and <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__open__&f1=blocked&li...>. The problem is, I don't know how to get involved, especially for projects with an orphaned owner like <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2226505>. There is no one to coordinate with. Another problem is, I don't know where to find a list for FTBFS for C and C++ projects. How do folks normally filter on their language(s) of choice? How does one participate in the process? Thanks in advance. Jeff
