Testing rc 1.12
by Peter Boy
I did some testing with rc 1.12
LVM devices file issue
======================
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2247872
* Both Server image files (Fedora-Server-KVM-40-1.12.x86_64.qcow2 & Fedora-Server-40-1.12.aarch64.raw.xz) still contain a devices file in /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices, which specifies device /dev/vda3, obviously from the build host.
* If you leave this unchanged, the devices file in the KVM image will be left as /dev/vda3, which is correct for a libvirt KVM, and for the ARM SBC device correctly changed to mmcblk1p3
* If you manually delete the devices file in each of the images, then after the first boot the /etc/lvm/devices subdirectory in both images remains empty.
So I think, the issue is resolved, but we need more information to add to server documentation.
Various issues with kernel boot and initial grub screen
=======================================================
There were various issues with keyboard navigation, keyboard not reacting on the select (enter) key, etc, which are all resolved with 1.13
Error messages while booting
============================
There were a lot of error messages durch boot, which had no negative effect, which, as far as can be seen, had no negative effect. Most of them are gone new ones have appeared
There is:
ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.PC00.RHUB.HS01._PLD due to previous error …
ACPI BIOS Eror (bug): Could not resolve symbol [\_SB.UBTC.R’UCC ] …
Usbhlld 3-4:1.3: couldn’t an input interrupt endpoint
overlayfs: failed to resolve …
Some of them may depend on my test hardware (a quite recent Intel board and some older ones). In any case I see no opportunity to fix these.
Anaconda
========
With custom partitioning, Anaconda mixes up the order of the partitions again. This was solved for some releases, but occurs again now.
I don't see any chance of a solution for this at the moment either. We may try to get it fixed for Rawhide.

Re: Our video meeting today at 17:00 UTC
by John W. Himpel
Jason,
Someone may have better notes, but one source would be:
https://chat.fedoraproject.org/#/room/#server:fedoraproject.org
It was strongly suggested that we migrate away the current build module
and move to kiwi. Again, strongly suggested we chose an existing
output image and work on generating a exact (as possible) image under
kiwi. Then using the same process, generate the remaining output
images. Only after we are completely converted to kiwi, then begin to
make whatever modifications we deem necessary. I believe Tomas has
agreed to assist us in this process as he has the requisite access
credentials.
I'm sure if any of the above is not correct, someone will please send a
correction.
John

Our video meeting today at 17:00 UTC
by Peter Boy
Folks,
After our video test session yesterday, the Matrix video functionality in the "Fedora Server" room is no longer functional. The Infra team is working on it as time allows in this hot phase of the new release.
As a way out, Tomáš has opened up a Jitsi option and we have tested it. The new link is:
NEW LINK!
===> https://meet.jit.si/fedorainfrastandup <===
Simply open the link in your browser, Firefox or Chrome, and off you go. If it worked yesterday with the Matrix Jitsi instance, it works the same way with a Jitsi instance in the open Jitsi project infrastructure.
However, to be on the safe side in case a problem does occur, we open the session 15 minutes beforehand.
And I keep an eye on the "Fedora Server" matrix room in parallel, so that we always have a means of communication if there are difficulties at the beginning.

Issues viewing info on pagure.io
by John W. Himpel
All,
First let me express my appreciation to Tomas for his presentation
earlier today. I found it very helpful.
I am trying to follow the links he posted on the Fedora Room on
Discourse. Unfortunately, whenever I try to access anything on
https://pagure.io/????? via firefox, all I get is the spinner followed
eventuatlly by a "The connection has times out" message.
Is there something I need to do in order to access pagure content?
Thanks.

Video meeting about Review Installation Media
by Peter Boy
Folks,
We agreed upon a video meeting
Wednesday April 10, 17:00 - about 18:30 ===UTC===
Matrix Server room
I’ll open a video meeting for testing
Tuesday April 9, 17:00 - about 17:30 ===UTC===
Matrix Server room
You can test your equipment on this occasion
About 5 - 10 minutes before the scheduled time you will see an announcement at the top of the room’s post listing saying
Jitsi Video Conference
And a „Join Conference“ Button
Klick the button and I let you in.
During the video meeting there is also a chat window available for typing. This chat gets part of the room’s posting list and is available for future look up. So, we may post some intermediate results or findings in the chat window for future reference.
=== Regarding the meeting ===
I've put some questions that have been on my mind since I've been working on creating a server VM on our server wiki page:
===============================================================
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Server/Review_Installation_Media
===============================================================
Please, could everyone add their question(s) to that list? Or - if not that familiar with wiki pages - in a reply to this mail so I can add it to the Wiki page.
I hope we can structure our discussion a bit in advance that way.
Best
Peter

The room is #server:fedoraproject.org.
You can join the #server:fedoraproject.org room via this link, for
example: https://matrix.to/#/#server:fedoraproject.org
As for the video link, it really depends on your Matrix client. Somehow,
my Nheko desktop client does not show that link at all.

Re: Video meeting about Review Installation Media

Hi Jason,
If you open your Browser, Firefox or chrome should work fine, you can enter „chat.fedoraproject.org <http://chat.fedoraproject.org/>“ in the address line. There you can login using your FAS data and then select either the browser app or the native app to proceed. Both work fine, probably the browser app is easier.
Then you can choose „Fedora“ in the left most column, and then „rooms“ in column right of it. There is a search field, youu should enter Server or Fedora Server.
You have to join the room and then you are in - hopefully

Server WG work plan and "story" for f41 / f42
by Peter Boy
It’s time to decide about our plan and „story“ for f41 and f42.
I created a ticket: #134 Fedora Server goal(s) and "story" for F41 / F42
(https://pagure.io/fedora-server/issue/134)
In short (longer versions in ticket):
a. Fedora Server VM as VPS
b. NFS/Samba Cockpit module
c. Backup and restore made easy
d. identity server
e. local or public file server
f. management and installation server
g. A power- and cost-efficient environment aware Home Server
h. Fedora Server live medium (to try out as well as rescue operations)
i. Fedora Server Edition Internet server spin
We should choose an option that one of us is already working on or has previous experience with, specifically für f41.
Please, comment here or in he ticket.
Additionally, we have our long term projects:
- Ansible support
- Revised release criteria
