44 to 45 upgrade glitch with admin-tools group
by Ian Laurie 02 Sep '26

02 Sep '26

I've upgraded a number of hosts from 44 to 45 (specifically 4) and struck the same blocking issue on all upgrades. The cause was the admin-tools group, that blocked the upgrade. Solution was to remove the group: sudo dnf group remove admin-tools Then after the upgrade reinstall the removed components: sudo dnf install gnome-disk-utility setroubleshoot system-config-language Outside of that it all just worked (except on 2 hosts I had to also remove hexchat for the upgrade to work). -- Ian Laurie FAS: nixuser | Matrix: nixuser TZ: Australia/Sydney

Changes to my Fedora / Bugzilla IDs
by Adam Williamson 31 Aug '26

31 Aug '26

Hey folks! I figured someone might notice me doing batch updates and have questions, so just in case... Red Hat is implementing some internal policy changes, and for me the only practical way to cope is basically to split my "Red Hat", "Fedora" and "personal contributor" identities a bit more rigorously (which I probably should have done years ago anyway, but didn't because it was temptingly easy to squash them all under Red Hat). The most obvious consequence is probably that most of my Bugzilla activity will be under a different address now (rhbz blueradius ), not my Red Hat email address. The account under my RH email address is still active but I'll be aiming to use it only for things that are genuinely Red Hat-specific and/or Red Hat-private. Typical Fedora bugs should all come under the personal address. I've done some bulk updates today to reflect this (though I didn't do *everything* as it'd be over 14,000 bugs, and you can't change the reporter of an existing bug AFAIK). I've also changed the email address associated with my FAS account (it was my RH email, it's now another blueradius address), and mails that I send "from" my fedoraproject.org address are being routed through a different outgoing server; let me know if you notice them getting eaten by spam filters or anything. I *think* that's it for potentially-noticeable changes, but if you see anything else weird going on with me it's probably to do with this. And just in case - no, I'm not leaving RH or Fedora, this is all just annoying...administrivia :/ -- Adam Williamson (he/him/his) Fedora QA Fedora Chat: @adamwill:fedora.im | Mastodon: @adamw@fosstodon.org https://www.happyassassin.net

2026-08-03 - Fedora Quality Meeting - AI summary and minutes
by Adam Williamson 17 Aug '26

17 Aug '26

AI summary: ### Key Discussion Points * **Fedora 45 Status & Early Testing:** * A request has been made for early, non-automated validation testing for Fedora 45, particularly for ARM builds, to catch major issues before branching. * A known issue is a workstation crash on Raspberry Pi 4 related to a Vulkan driver bug ([RHBZ#2510680](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2510680)) * A GNOME update is currently failing openQA tests. * The Anaconda installer plans to change its default font to Noto. * **Data Visualization Ideas:** * The Fedora Data & Analytics team is seeking ideas for QA-related data to visualize. * Suggestions included improving `testcase_stats`, visualizing community contributions, tracking the percentage of Bodhi updates with negative karma, and counting QA participants from sources like the mailing list. * Tracking build completion rates and FTBFS (Failed to Build from Source) packages was also proposed. * **Test Day Planning:** * Planning for a new round of test days is in progress. * It was suggested that having actual regression/test suites for users to run during these events would be beneficial. * **`mcelog` Issue:** * A discussion was held regarding the `mcelog` service, which is minimally maintained and fails on modern, unsupported CPUs (e.g., AMD). * While this is technically permitted by the release criteria, the behavior is not ideal. * The possibility of replacing `mcelog` with `rasdaemon` or not installing a RAS daemon by default was raised. ### Action Items * **Fedora 45 Testing:** Community members are encouraged to help with early manual validation testing for Fedora 45. * **Data Visualization:** Anyone with ideas for data visualization should add them to the ticket: [quality/tickets/issues/923](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/tickets…. * **Test Day Scheduling:** The proposed test days need to be added to the [Test Days website](https://testdays.fedoraproject.org/) and the calendar soon to avoid scheduling conflicts. * **`mcelog` Follow-up:** Ephraim Kaov (`ephmo`) will start a thread on the `devel@` mailing list or `discussion.fedoraproject.org` to gather feedback on replacing `mcelog`.
