“Verify” link for Fedora Everything 42 Beta is broken
by Jason Yundt 10 Apr '25

10 Apr '25

Hello, On the page where you can download Fedora Everythign 42 Beta <https://alt.fedoraproject.org/prerelease/index.html>, there is a “Verify” link that is supposed to allow you to download a |CHECKSUM| file. Unfortunately, the link leads to a 404 page. Here’s the URL for the link: https://getfedora.org/static/checksums/42_Beta/iso/Fedora-Everything-42_Bet… From, Jason Yundt

Fedora 42 Test Weeks – Call for Testers
by Sumantro Mukherjee 08 Apr '25

08 Apr '25

Hey folks, QA is hosting a series of Fedora 42 test days this week, and we could really use your help to make sure things don’t explode in the hands of unsuspecting users later. If you have a little time and a bit of curiosity (or a lot of both), please consider participating: *Kernel 6.14 Test Week*📅 April 6–12 Details : Test Day: Kernel 6.14 <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2025-04-06_Kernel_6.14_Test_Week> *Fedora 42 IoT Edition Test Week* 📅 April 7–11 Details: Test Day: Fedora 42 IoT Edition <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2025-04-07_Fedora_42_IoT_Edition> *Fedora 42 Accessibility (A11y) Test Week* 📅 April 7–11 Details Test Day: Fedora 42 A11y <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2025-04-07_Fedora_42_A11Y> No special skills required — just a Fedora install, some spare time, and a vague tolerance for minor chaos. Thanks for helping make Fedora better (or at least, not worse)! -- //sumantro Fedora QE TRIED AND PERSONALLY TESTED, ERGO TRUSTED <https://redhat.com/trusted>

Trying to understand how to preserve home with a legacy BIOS dual-boot Windows/Fedora install using WebUI
by Andre Robatino 07 Apr '25

07 Apr '25

As stated above, my dual-boot machine is legacy BIOS with MBR partitioning, so I can't simply choose "Reinstall Fedora" (which doesn't even appear when MBR partitioning is present). I'm attempting to follow the instructions at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_partitioning_webui_guided_btrfs_… . Steps 1 to 4 are clear (though I have to resist the temptation to choose "Share disk with other operating system", since the wiki page clearly says to choose "Mount point assignment"). I find Step 5 to be as clear as mud. On the page "Manual disk configuration: Mount point mapping", in the "Mount point" column, there is / (Required) and /boot (Recommended). In the "Device" column, there are "Select a device" choices, the same set of choices for each of / and /boot, namely sda1 ntfs sda2 ntfs sda3 ext4 home btrfs root btrfs root/var/lib/machines btrfs (of course, sda1 and sda2 are Windows, the rest are Fedora). The right column is "Reformat" with a toggle for each of / and /boot. Presumably, I'm supposed to be able to toggle that on or off separately for each selected device, but I can't. If I toggle it off for "home" under either / or boot, it's toggled off for the rest, and if I toggle it on for one of the other devices, it's toggled on for all. Presumably, to not affect the Windows partitions, I would also want to toggle it off for sda1 and sda2, under both / and /boot. Am I doing something wrong, or is this broken? And do I have to duplicate all the settings for each of / and /boot, since the list of devices is identical under each of those? I do have the option of removing the anaconda-webui package and then running the installer in GTK mode, which I'm familiar with. P.S. I'm using Adam's test image from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2353002#c55 .

2025-04-07 @ 16:00 UTC - Fedora 42 Blocker Review Meeting
by Adam Williamson 06 Apr '25

06 Apr '25

# F42 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2025-04-07 # Time: 16:00 UTC # Location: https://matrix.to/#/#blocker-review:fedoraproject.org?web-instance[element.… Hi folks! It's time for a Fedora 42 blocker review meeting! We have 3 proposed blockers and 6 proposed freeze exceptions for Final. Here is a handy link which should show you the meeting time in your local time: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Fedora+41+Blocker… 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. If you have time today, 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 F42 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 day and see you tomorrow!

This is fully diagnosed already, we know exactly what's going on (it's caused by a change in how systemd handles inhibitors). The remaining issues are what GNOME wants to do about it upstream ideally, what is possible to do within the F42 timeframe (which may be nothing but "document it"), and whether this is bad enough to constitute a blocker. > 6. mdadm — [live] Can't reuse existing RAID partitioning — POST > ACTION: QA to verify fix https://github.com/md-raid-utilities/mdadm/pull/159 I actually already wrote and verified another proposed fix, https://github.com/md-raid-utilities/mdadm/pull/160 . The issue is getting upstream to accept either of the proposed fixes. We can backport one or the other without upstream approval if necessary, but this is a case where it'd really be best not to diverge from upstream if possible, so I'm continuing to argue with upstream over this whole check. -- Adam Williamson (he/him/his) Fedora QA Fedora Chat: @adamwill:fedora.im | Mastodon: @adamw@fosstodon.org https://www.happyassassin.net

Rawhide kernel-6.15 randomly shutting system down
by Ian Laurie 02 Apr '25

02 Apr '25

I'm seeing: kernel-6.15.0-0.rc0.20250327git1a9239bb4253.5.fc43.x86_64 randomly shutting down the system, anywhere from about 15 minutes to an hour after boot. Looking at the log file, I see that the log file claims the power switch was hit. I can state categorically the power switch was not hit. Here are two instances from today: Apr 01 12:01:00 zorac CROND[1494]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) Apr 01 12:01:00 zorac run-parts[1497]: (/etc/cron.hourly) starting 0anacron Apr 01 12:01:00 zorac run-parts[1503]: (/etc/cron.hourly) finished 0anacron Apr 01 12:01:00 zorac CROND[1493]: (root) CMDEND (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) Apr 01 12:22:28 zorac systemd-logind[821]: Power key pressed short.

Apr 01 15:31:37 zorac systemd-logind[847]: Powering off... Apr 01 15:31:37 zorac systemd-logind[847]: System is powering down. This is not happening with previous kernels. I booted into: kernel-6.14.0-0.rc7.20250321gitb3ee1e460951.60.fc43.x86_64 and will see if it lasts overnight (it did last night). This looks like a kernel issue with 6.15 but no clue how to proceed. Hardware: Dell Optiplex 3040 1 x 6th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-6100T CPU @ 3.20GHz Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 (rev 06) This is my only native system running Rawhide. I've booted a pair of VMs running Rawhide to see if it impacts VMs also (but the host is Fedora 41). -- Ian Laurie FAS: nixuser | IRC: nixuser TZ: Australia/Sydney

Thanks for the responses to that bug, it should be fixed now. I'm bumping this due to a related bug, but I can't test anymore due to loss of access to hardware. Please test if you can! https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2347153 -- Chris Murphy
