reversible dual-boot test station
by Chris Murphy 23 Feb '24

23 Feb '24

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

Kernel 6.7 Test Week is underway!
by Sumantro Mukherjee 27 Jan '24

27 Jan '24

Hey Folks, As most of you might know, Kernel 6.7 Test Week is currently happening[0] I have figured out that, I can't login to FAS from the Kernel Test Result site[1]. If you are also someone who is stuck, please follow the infra issue filed here[2]. And please submit the results here[3] If you have still not participated and have some free time, we urge you to take part in testing! We are also sorry for the inconvenience caused due to login issues. Thanks for testing :) [0] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2024-01-21_Kernel_6.7_Test_Week [1] https://apps.fedoraproject.org/kerneltest/ [2] https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/11744 [3] https://testdays.fedoraproject.org/events/173 -- //sumantro Fedora QE TRIED AND PERSONALLY TESTED, ERGO TRUSTED

openQA Rawhide update failures - we're working on it!
by Adam Williamson 25 Jan '24

25 Jan '24

Hi folks! I want to apologize to packagers who have Rawhide updates stuck on failed openQA tests, and provide an update. There were two big problems today. First, the Server base disk image used for some of the tests got regenerated (this happens weekly). Unfortunately, this meant it got affected by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2259266 , and no longer booted. I should have got that grub2 build untagged or the change reverted sooner - sorry. I was expecting the package to be fixed sooner, and it didn't occur to me that this image being regenerated was a risk. I've now got the package untagged, and forced a rebuild of the disk image using a grub2 build with the patch re-applied (otherwise I'd have had to wait for the next Rawhide compose to rebuild the image). I'm now working through re-running all affected tests. Second, shell-color-prompt was changed[0] to apply the color prompt to virtual consoles. This broke a large number of openQA tests, as they often need to do things at root consoles, and to do that they need to know when they've actually managed to log in to one, and they do this by screen matching the prompt. Any test which needed to know it was at a root console was failing. I've updated the 'needle' to match the color prompt, and am re-running all affected tests. I anticipate the mess should be cleaned up in about three or four hours (there are a lot of failures to re-run, and some of the tests take a while to run). Sorry again for the inconvenience. I'll probably propose adding shell-color-prompt to the critical path. That would mean openQA would have gated the update (allowing me to update the needles *before* it got pushed and broke tests for every other update), but it also just seems appropriate - theoretically, a bad change to the package could cause all sorts of consequences, since it fiddles with the default prompt.

DNF doesn't use local repo
by Robert McBroom 22 Jan '24

22 Jan '24

Testing Rawhide in a virtual machine. I have a repo file on a usb that collects all the rpms. DNF complains if the repo is not available but does not load the rpms. Is there some setting to get the repo processed?

New test package
by pmkellly 22 Jan '24

22 Jan '24

For a while now when I down load a new drop of Fedora Rawhide x86_64 Workstation to test there are two. One has "osb" in the name. Please pardon my ignorance, but what does osb stand for and how is it different? Have a Great Day! Pat (tablepc)
