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

Language selection in F34: only english options
by Massi aka Ergosum 20 Jun '21

20 Jun '21

Hello, I've a strange behaviour in my live remix when I try to set language using System settings > Regional settings > Language. I just get "American English" and "British English" and nothing else. I know there is a bug [1] in language settings. Is this behaviour due to the bug or I'm missing something? Does anyone know where the language list sourced from? Regards Massimiliano [1] https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=420268

How do I switch users in KDE?
by Patrick O'Callaghan 04 Jun '21

04 Jun '21

According to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427777 it should be possible to switch users from the KDE lock screen, however I don't seem to have this functionality. Related question: is it possible to have two different DEs on different virtual consoles (if necessary with two distinct users)? For example, one with KDE and another with Gnome. I know this used to be possible in some previous iterations of KDE/Plasma, but there may be limitations due to SDDM. poc

Any way to restore Breeze close window button color?
by Ian Pilcher 28 May '21

28 May '21

I really, really don't like the glaring red close window button that the Breeze theme uses in F34. Is there a way to revert to the gray button that I had in F33? -- ======================================================================== In Soviet Russia, Google searches you! ========================================================================

Qt, Wine and Proton
by Patrick O'Callaghan 28 May '21

28 May '21

I've recently tried running some Windows Steam games under Linux, using Steam's Proton compatibility layer. Under F33 I had some success with a few of them, but under F34 things have been less reliable. One game (Skyrim SE) crashes immediately, while another (Edith Finch) will run for a few minutes very smoothly, then suddenly freeze the entire UI so badly that I need to log in from another machine to kill the desktop session. I can't even switch to another virtual console. All this has been with KDE/Plasma/X11, but when I log in under Gnome/X11 everything seems to work correctly, at least so far. Has anyone seen this kind of problem with Plasma? poc

Another option that would be OK would be to make wayland the non-default choice. -- Lester M Petrie
