F24 beta virt-install with kickstart fails
by Jos Vos
Hi,
Did anyone succeed in virt-install'ing F24 beta using kickstart
(on CentOS 6 host, if that matters)?
I see lots of warnings (dracut-initqueue), then the console goes
into a slowly filling bar at the bottom (plymouthd!?), then I see
lots of "No space left on device" errors, then a dracut emergency
shell is started.
The generated rdsosreport.txt contains 34284 lines...
FWIW, when *not* using kickstart I can install F24 beta on the
same system with virt-install fine.
Thx,

Validation test proposal: mediawriter testing table
by Adam Williamson
Hi folks! So I finally got around to that 'think about USB test
coverage' item that's been on my todo list forever.
I propose we add a table to the Installation Validation page. The
purpose is simply to check that writing images is working with
mediawriter in the major supported environments: Windows, macOS , and
the supported stable Fedora releases. So it could just look like this:
Windows macOS Fedora 24 Fedora 25
QA:Testcase_USB_fmw
with the intent being that we at least check that writing any one
release blocking image with mediawriter in each environment.
We could split Windows into 7, 8 and 10 or something, but not sure if
it's really necessary...
Thoughts?

Release validation testers: a question
by Adam Williamson
Hi folks! I've got a question for everyone who helps out with release
validation testing. It's related to the project to build a new system
for submitting those results. We have a ticket for designing that
system:
https://pagure.io/design/issue/483
and as part of the discussion there, we're wondering something. Given
that it's part of the new design that there's some kind of step where
you specify which particular image you're testing, does it make more
sense to you if you choose things in this order:
1. Pick a test to run
2. Pick an image to run the test on
Or this order:
1. Pick an image to test
2. Pick a test to run on the image
? It's pretty important to the design approach. Thanks!
(Please do feel free to read the ticket and mention any other thoughts
you have on the design, too.)

Introduction: Raymond Chung
by Yongsub Chung
First of all,
Thank you for making Fedora Linux great. And, I am sure the QA team's
contribution is essential to keep Fedora in high quality distribution.
My name is Raymond Chung, and I have been in the industry around 15 years,
but I still feel that I don't know enough. I used Linux since I was in
college. I started with RedHat 5.5. I used it through Fedora 3, and
switched to Gentoo, and FreeBSD, and, Ubuntu, and settled back to Fedora
since Fedora 17, (I guess).
My best interest is Kernel testing. Whenever I run into a kernel issue,
such as driver, or performance, I couldn't solve efficiently, or basically
give up. I want to know more about kernel, and recently joining QA team
might be a good way to get more experience with kernel.
Outside of working with computer, I play music. I love rock music, but
jazz and classical are my interests, too.
Feel free to reach me.
I am glad to be part of QA team.

Hello everyone,
My name is Anna.
I've been a casual linux user for the past 10 years and I think it's about
time to know how it works inside.
Hope I can help with testing.

New automated test coverage: openQA tests of critical path updates
by Adam Williamson
Hi folks!
I am currently rolling out some changes to the Fedora openQA deployment
which enable a new testing workflow. From now on, a subset of openQA
tests should be run automatically on every critpath update, both on
initial submission and on any edit of the update.
For the next little while, at least, this won't be incredibly visible.
openQA sends out fedmsgs for all tests, so you can sign up for FMN
notifications to learn about these results. They'll also be
discoverable from the openQA web UI - https://openqa.fedoraproject.org
. The results are also being forwarded to ResultsDB, so they'll be
visible via ResultsDB API queries and the ResultsDB web UI. But for
now, that's it...I think.
Our intent is to set up the necessary bits so that these results will
show up in the Bodhi web UI alongside the results for relevant
Taskotron tests. There's an outside possibility that Bodhi is actually
already set up to find these results in ResultsDB, in which case
they'll just suddenly start showing up in Bodhi - we should know about
that soon enough. :) But most likely Bodhi will need a bit of a tweak
to find them. This is probably a good thing, because we need to let the
tests run for a while to find out how reliable they are, and if there's
an unacceptable number of false negatives/positives. Once we have some
info on that and are happy that we can get things sufficiently reliable
for the results to be useful, we'll hook up the Bodhi integration.
The tests that are run are most of the tests that, on the 'compose
test' workflow, get run on the Server DVD and Workstation Live images
after installation. Between them they do a decent job of covering basic
system functionality. They also cover FreeIPA server and client setup,
and Workstation browser (Firefox) and terminal functionality. So
hopefully, if your critpath update completely breaks one of those basic
workflows, you'll find out about it before pushing it stable.
At present it looks like the Workstation tests may sometimes fail
simply because the base install gets stuck during boot for some reason;
I'm going to look into that this week. In testing so far the Server
tests seem fairly reliable, but I want to gather data from a few days
worth of test runs to see how those look. Once we start sending results
to Bodhi, I'll try and write up some basic instructions on how to
interpret and debug openQA test results; QA folks will also be
available in IRC and by email for help with this, of course.
You can see sample runs on Server:
https://openqa.stg.fedoraproject.org/tests/overview?groupid=1&build=FEDOR...
and Workstation:
https://openqa.stg.fedoraproject.org/tests/overview?version=25&distri=fed...
the 'desktop_notifications_live' failure is a stale bit of data - that
test isn't actually run any more because obviously it makes no sense in
this context, but because it got run one time in early development,
openQA continues to show it for that update (it won't show for any
*other* update). The `desktop_update_graphical` fail is a good example
of the kind of issue I'll have to look into this week: it seems to have
failed because of an intermittent crasher bug in PackageKit, rather
than an issue in the update. We'll have to look at skipping known-
unreliable tests, or marking them somehow so you know the deal in
Bodhi, or automatically re-running them, or things along those lines.

F25 much more worse then F24, I hope F26 will be better
by Joerg Lechner
Hi,
- last dnf update took far too much time
- shutdown process not tolerable, takes too much time.
- usb connection erroneous. i.e. after copying to flash medium or external disk connected by an usb adapter in most trials, when I try to eject the usb connected medium, there - after a copying process is finished a long time ago - comes the message "usb medium in use", this for ever. Also after shutdown of F25 in some cases I had to repair the usb connected medium with a new partition table. Things like that are not nice.
Conclusion: I use F24 and if F26 will be better switch to F26 and omit F25.
Kind regards

Wallpapers on Fedora
by Allan Mwenda
Hi everyone
I just noticed a behavior on fedora 25 and I just wanted to share it here as I think it is not ideal
If you have pictures in the Pictures subdirectory of Home, you can set them as your background by going to Settings > Background > Pictures Tab.
However if you gather those pictures in a folder (in my case labelled Wallpapers) then you can't set them as wallpapers anymore, even though they are still in Pictures, just in a folder.
Its not ideal at all, you'd expect everything in there to get detected folders or not.
