F22 & Rawhide non-sse2 always crash on start bug filed upstream
by Felix Miata 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346244 I tried to use ABRT for this. It was both useless due to tiny window size and tiny text cutoff various places and with non-scrollable select lists, and also it wanted bug filed with bugs.kde.org instead of bugzilla.redhat.com. All the upstream bugs I found were either fixed quite some time ago, or had significantly different particulars. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Is the Akonadi also omitted from the System Settings or am I missing something? -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

libkdegames-kf5 pkg review needed
by Rex Dieter 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

Anyone who could help with this pkg review will have my eternal gratitude, libkdegames-kf5 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1212107 Looks like we'll need to keep the old (kde4-based) libkdegames around awhile, at least until all games are ported to kf5. Thanks. -- Rex

Beta blocker/FE update karma requests
by Adam Williamson 14 Apr '15

14 Apr '15

Hi folks! As some of you know, part of the release validation process is to make sure the fixes for blocker and freeze exception bugs are tested and confirmed, and give karma to the updates so they can be pushed to stable. For F22 Beta, the following updates for blocker/FE bugs have been included in Beta RC2, and we need to confirm the fixes and provide karma. It would be great if folks could help with this. Of course not everyone will have the necessary configuration or Cloud accounts or whatever to test every fix, don't worry! Just do whatever you can if you have some time to help out. * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-4820/cloud-utils-0.27-1… This one fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1197894 . You can give it +1 karma if you test a 22 Beta RC2 Cloud image - see the test cases at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_22_Beta_RC2_Cloud - and find that it boots successfully and the root partition is resized to fit the space available. * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/util-linux-2.26.1-1.fc22 This one fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1210428 . It's another Cloud issue: to test this one, you need to deploy a cloud instance and then reboot it. If that works (and the resize still happens), you can +1 the update. * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-5751/gnome-boxes-3.16.0… This one fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1164492 . You can give it +1 karma if you boot the 22 Beta RC2 Workstation live image (any arch) and confirm that the libvirt default NAT network configuration is *not* set up: that is, there's no virbr0 interface, and the package libvirt-daemon-config-network is not installed. * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-5960/realmd-0.15.2-2.fc… This one fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1210483 . Testing the blocker fix requires you to have an Active Directory domain controller available (you'd have to install Fedora 22 Beta RC2 Server and then enrol the newly installed system in the AD domain using realmd - test cases at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_22_Beta_RC2_Server#Domai… - but if you have a FreeIPA domain you could at least check this realmd build works OK for enrolling in that domain. * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-4922/rolekit-0.3.2-1.fc… This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1209602 and also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1207872 (an FE bug), both related to deployment of the database 'Server Role'. To test it, install Fedora 22 Beta RC2 Server (DVD, or if you use the netinst, ensure you get that version of rolekit from updates-testing) and then try to deploy the database server role...which I can't find any instructions for ATM, but sgallagh might be able to provide some. Then check you can log into the deployed pgsql instance with the password from the role config. * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-5686/kwin-5.2.2-2.fc22 This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1210861 , an FE issue. You can +1 it so long as the F22 Beta RC2 KDE live image seems to be basically working fine and this update doesn't seem to cause any issues - kwin is involved in just about anything you do in KDE, obviously, so as long as the KDE validation tests are good we can be pretty confident this is fine. * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-4553/libzip-0.11.2-5.fc… This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1204677 , an FE security issue. I don't know the details of how to verify the security fix is good, but you can give it a general +1 if zip file manipulation in dependent packages seems to be working. "sudo repoquery --whatrequires libzip" will list packages with a direct dep on libzip. * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-5161/plasma-workspace-5… This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1207079 , another FE issue. Test for this one is pretty simple: make sure you get a screenshot when you press the 'Print Screen' key in 22 Beta RC2 KDE. * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-4727/qt5-qtwebkit-5.4.1… This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1204796 , another FE security issue, also in KDE. Going by the bug description, to verify the fix you'd need to check what was logged in the file 'WebpageIcons.db' somehow (I'm assuming it's a simple DB mapping URLs to favicons), but you can give it a general +1 if web browsing with Konqueror works OK in 22 Beta RC2 KDE. Again, whatever help folks can provide on testing these would be great - thanks! And of course, we need all the help we can get filling out the Beta RC2 test matrices, see https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test-announce/2015-April/001040.h… for all the details on that. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

I am confused
by Eli Wapniarski 14 Apr '15

14 Apr '15

I am confused. Way back when, I read that the plasma desktop (KDE 5) was supposed to be feature compatible with 4 only with a much more optimized code base. Now.... after going over the various threads it would appear to me that this is not the case. Of concern to me as a user is that it would seem that if I use KDE 5 I will be going through similar teething pains as that which occurred during the transistion from version 3 to 4. Is that going to be the case? If it is... well thats a real bummer. Thanks for any insight.

Plasma 5 oddity?
by Ed Greshko 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

Doing F22 beta testing I ran into something I found rather odd. I don't care for the default Breeze theme so I was experimenting with various themes installed via the "System Settings" gui. Everything seemed to be going well. However, when I went back to Breeze the icons in the systray didn't revert to the Breeze ones. I logged out and back in and even rebooted. Still no change. I was in a bit of a rush, so I just uninstalled the themes, logged out/in, and things are back to normal. Can this be explained? -- If you can't laugh at yourself, others will gladly oblige.
