[INPUT REQUESTED] fedora-chromium-config and Fedora Workstation
by Stephen Gallagher 12 May '22

12 May '22

There exists an extension[1] for Google Chrome that enables the management of GNOME Shell extensions on extensions.gnome.org. I am currently reworking some of the details around how the fedora-chromium-config package works and I would like to know: Would the Workstation WG be in favor of me adding a fedora-chromium-config-gnome subpackage that would automatically install the GNOME Shell Integration extension for Chrome/Chromium browsers? I can make its installation conditional on the presence of gnome-shell on the system if preferred. Of the other changes I'm looking at making: 1. Enable Chrome's auto-detection of DNS-over-HTTPS. It ships as disabled by default in Chrome currently, but it can be set to an 'auto' mode that will prefer DoH if it can determine that the DNS server supports it. 2. Drop the user-agent extension. Ever since the advent of Chrome v100, various sites (particularly those that rely on Cloudflare[2] such as Gitlab.com) have been having difficulties when this is enabled. As its utility is limited (mostly just for metrics purposes), I think the easiest solution is to just remove it. 3. There's a KDE Plasma integration extension too, maintained by the KDE upstream. Do we want to install that by default as well? [1] https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gnome-shell-integration/gphhapmej… [2] https://github.com/tpopela/fedora-user-agent-chrome/issues/11

2022-05-02 @ 16:00 UTC - Fedora 36 Blocker Review Meeting
by Adam Williamson 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

# F36 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2022-05-02 # Time: 16:00 UTC # Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.libera.chat Hi folks! We have 1 proposed Final blockers and 5 proposed Final freeze exception issues to review, so let's have a review meeting on Monday. If you have time this weekend, you can take a look at the proposed or accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ . Remember, you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings! If you look at the bug list in the blockerbugs app, you'll see links labeled "Vote!" next to all proposed blockers and freeze exceptions. Those links take you to tickets where you can vote. https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review has instructions on how exactly you do it. We usually go through the tickets shortly before the meeting and apply any clear votes, so the meeting will just cover bugs where there wasn't a clear outcome in the ticket voting yet. **THIS MEANS IF YOU VOTE NOW, THE MEETING WILL BE SHORTER!** We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F36 can be found on the wiki [0]. For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process, check out these links: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out the SOP on the wiki: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting Have a good weekend and see you on Monday!

Re: F36 Final blocker status summary
by Ben Cotton 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

We are currently targeting the target date #1 (2022-04-26), which means we'd want to have blockers fixed by 18 April in order to provide time for validation testing prior to the Go/No-go meeting on 21 April. Action summary ==================== Accepted blockers ----------------- 1. kf5-kirigami2 — The About button sends Discover into loop and the application stops responding. — VERIFIED ACTION: none 2. anaconda — "Installing software" and other strings displayed during installation are untranslated — VERIFIED ACTION: Matainers to package upstream patch 3. gnome-initial-setup — gnome-initial-setup hangs when I try to setup a google/microsoft online account — ASSIGNED ACTION: selinux-policy maintainers to package upstream PR 4. openssl — [tr_TR] curl: (35) error:03000072:digital envelope routines::decode error with LANG=tr_TR.utf8 — NEW ACTION: Maintainers to package upstream PR 5. container-selinux — selinux-policy is preventing flatpak from updating / installing / removing flatpaks — NEW ACTION: Maintainers to rebuild against updated selinux-policy packages 6. gnome-control-center — online accounts: can't disable sync on items — NEW ACTION: Upstream to diagnose and fix issue 7. gnome-shell — interrupted dimming partly locks window switching — POST ACTION: Maintainers to package upstream PR 8. fedora-repos — disable updates-testing, create a final release — VERIFIED ACTION: none 9. gnome-software — Enabling "Fedora Flathub Selection" repo doesn't show included apps in gnome-software until re-login — NEW ACTION: Maintainers to package upstream MR 10. selinux-policy — After upgrade to F36 several packages fail to update due to selinux-related errors — ASSIGNED ACTION: container-selinux, osbuild, snapd, flatpak maintainers to rebuild against latest selinux-policy 11. spin-kickstarts — pyanaconda.modules.common.errors.installation.StorageInstallationError: device is active — NEW ACTION: KDE SIG to disable automount of storage devices in live image Proposed blockers ----------------- 1. xorg-x11-server — Basic graphics mode broken for X11 with Nvidia GPU and UEFI — NEW ACTION: QA to verify upstream MR Bug-by-bug detail ============= Accepted blockers ----------------- 1. kf5-kirigami2 — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2057563 — VERIFIED The About button sends Discover into loop and the application stops responding. Clicking the About button causes a loop which renders Discover unresponsive (except when the window is maximized). Fix verified in FEDORA-2022-120719a555. 2. anaconda — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2071098 — VERIFIED "Installing software" and other strings displayed during installation are untranslated Available translations are not displayed because LC_ALL was set in the environment of DBus modules, overriding the value in LANG. FEDORA-2022-92570f3943 contains a verified fix. 3. gnome-initial-setup — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2071259 — ASSIGNED gnome-initial-setup hangs when I try to setup a google/microsoft online account Setting up a Google or Microsoft account causes g-i-s to apparently hang, although tty switching works. This appears to be an SELinux policy issue. https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy/pull/1151 contains a candidate fix. 4. openssl — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2071343 — POST [tr_TR] curl: (35) error:03000072:digital envelope routines::decode error with LANG=tr_TR.utf8 curl coredumps when using the Turkish locale because of a string comparison in OpenSSL that can't handle some unique character case features in the Turkish alphabet. Upstream has a PR with a candidate fix: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/18069 5. container-selinux — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2070764 — ON_QA selinux-policy is preventing flatpak from updating / installing / removing flatpaks SELinux prevents flatpak from accessing a variety of files/directories, including `/etc/passwd` and `/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share`. This, in turn, prevents flatpak from modifying flatpaks on the system. FEDORA-2022-ee2ba7ba12 contained a fix for F36. container-selinux will need to be rebuilt against selinux-policy-35.17-1.fc35 and selinux-policy-35.27-1.fc34 for supported releases. 6. gnome-control-center — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2068470 — NEW online accounts: can't disable sync on items Attempting to disable sync on items in Online Accounts appears to succeed, but sync still shows as enabled on re-launch. Reported upstream as https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/1721 7. gnome-shell — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2073206 — POST interrupted dimming partly locks window switching Typing or using the mouse while the screen begins blanking results in the screen being unresponsive to mouse input. Keyboard input still works. Upstream PR for mutter contains a candidate fix: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2333 8. fedora-repos — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2073950 — VERIFIED disable updates-testing, create a final release FEDORA-2022-bda822f1ae contains a verified fix. 9. gnome-software — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2074121 — NEW Enabling "Fedora Flathub Selection" repo doesn't show included apps in gnome-software until re-login You have to re-login or reboot to show applications from the filtered Flathub repo. All other third-party repos work as expected. This appears to be a cache error. Upstream MR https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/merge_requests/1325 has a candidate fix. 10. selinux-policy — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2056303 — ASSIGNED After upgrade to F36 several packages fail to update due to selinux-related errors Some container-related packages have references to SELinux socket classes that no longer exist. container-selinux, osbuild, snapd, flatpak need to be rebuilt against the newest selinux-policy. 11. spin-kickstarts — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2073708 — NEW pyanaconda.modules.common.errors.installation.StorageInstallationError: device is active KDE Plasma automounts storage devices in the live image, causing Anaconda to fail when trying to modifiy a disk with an existing logical volume. Disabling automount in the KDE automount settings prevents this. Proposed blockers ----------------- 1. xorg-x11-server — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2074789 — NEW Basic graphics mode broken for X11 with Nvidia GPU and UEFI The vesa driver checks for the presence of a directory that no longer exists since the switch to simpledrm in this release.

Test request: Gnome Text Editor infinite loop (RHBZ 2071228)
by Ben Cotton 26 Apr '22

26 Apr '22

Hi folks, I saw RHBZ 2071228 [1] proposed as a freeze exception, but it looks blockery to me. The report specifically mentions the fa_IR locale. It would be very helpful for the purposes of blocker decision to know if the problem is specific to that locale or if others are affected. I've tried to reproduce it using the steps in the bug, but I haven't been able to. That could be entirely a Me Problem™ though.
