Fedora 16 Final RC1 desktop validation: help required!
by Adam Williamson 30 Oct '11

30 Oct '11

Hey, everyone. It was a hard slog, but we finally managed to do an F16 RC1 build yesterday. We only have a few days before the go/no-go meeting on Tuesday so we could really do with your help to get through validation as fast as possible. If RC1 proves to pass validation we have until Tuesday to do it, but really it'd be great if we could complete validation over the weekend, so if any further issues are found, we have a fighting chance to re-spin and re-validate on Monday. The RC is available here: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/16.RC1/ The desktop validation page, with all the tests, results matrix, and testing instructions, is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_16_Final_RC1_Desktop Please, if you have any spare time at all this weekend, grab the DVD or live image for your desktop and help us fill out the validation matrix! If you hit a bug which is clearly a 'fail' - the test just doesn't pass at all - if you're testing GNOME Shell, GNOME fallback, or KDE, file a bug and mark it as blocking 'F16Blocker'. (If you don't have the privileges to do this, mail me the bug ID and I'll do it). If you're testing any other desktop, file a bug and mark it as blocking 'F16-accepted'. Then report your result for the test as {{result|fail| username|bugid}}. If you hit a bug while doing a test but it doesn't really mean the test is completely failed - just some issue that happened to come up while you were doing the test - file the bug, and report your result for the test as {{result|warn|username|bugid}}. use your judgment as to whether the bug should be proposed as a blocker or nice-to-have or not proposed at all, depending on how serious it seems. We fixed quite a lot of desktop issues for RC1. For Desktop, we fixed the issue with clutter-dependent apps crashing when hardware 3D acceleration is not available and the subsequently-discovered issue where clutter-based video playback and capture fails when hardware 3D isn't available. For KDE, we fixed the two issues which prevented KDE running properly in a VM with either qxl or cirrus drivers: KDE should now work fine inside KVMs. For Xfce, we took a bunch of the NTH-nominated fixes. So, I'm hoping this means we've already had quite a lot of testing with the TCs, and the RCs should be pretty good. Thanks everyone! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

Fedora 16 Final TC2 out: desktop validation required!
by Adam Williamson 20 Oct '11

20 Oct '11

Hey, folks. We just released Fedora 16 Final TC2: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/16.TC2/ It would be great if people could grab the TC and help fill out the desktop validation results: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_16_Final_TC2_Desktop We need to make sure we have good coverage and know where all the blockers are ahead of the RC phase, which comes next week. I didn't mention TC1 because it had a major issue with live image installation which is what we usually use for desktop validation: this build should have that bug fixed, so installations from the live images should behave. Thanks for any help you can give! In addition, if you could all check the blocker list for remaining bugs relating to your desktops and prioritize work on those, that'd be great: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=713568&hide_resolved=1 though there actually aren't a whole lot of desktop bugs there right now. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net
