| {{QA/Test_Case
| | |
| |description=This case tests upgrading a Fedora system from the current stable release ({{FedoraVersion|long}}) to the development release (Rawhide/{{FedoraVersion|long|next}}) using [[PreUpgrade]].
| |
| {{admon/note|Note|This test requires you to have a wired connection to the internet during the install.}}
| |
| |actions=
| |
| # Perform an installation of the stable release (e.g. {{FedoraVersion|long}}) with default partitioning (200MB for <code>/boot</code>).
| |
| # Create a file that takes up enough space that preupgrade decides it cannot install stage2 now. For the example filesystem, that means we need to fill up 100MB. Here's how to do that as root:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| # dd if=/dev/zero of=/boot/preupgrade_filler bs=1M count=100
| |
| </pre>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_use_PreUpgrade#Troubleshooting
| |
| # Install the newest available version of {{package|preupgrade}}.
| |
| # Run <code>preupgrade</code> from a command prompt or the ''Run Application'' dialog. Provide the requested password for root authorization.
| |
| # On the "Choose desired release" screen, enable "unstable test releases".
| |
| # Choose ''Rawhide'' from the list of available upgrade targets, then click ''Apply''.
| |
| # Preupgrade will present a warning dialog noting that additional disk space in {{filename|/boot}} is required to complete the upgrade process. Remove older kernels by consulting the instructions at [[How_to_use_PreUpgrade#Troubleshooting]] to free more space in /boot], then click ''Check again''
| |
| # When preupgrade is done don't reboot immediately. Instead, remove the /boot/preupgrade_filler file and make sure your computer is connected to the network via an ethernet cable. Then you can reboot.
| |
| <pre>
| |
| # rm /boot/preupgrade_filler
| |
| </pre>
| |
| # The computer should boot into the installer, connect to the internet via the ethernet cable and start downloading the stage2 installer image. Then it should continue upgrading as normal.
| |
| |results=
| |
| # The preupgrade utility will run to completion, without error.
| |
| # The users are prompted with a ''low disk-space'' warning.
| |
| # Removing older kernels allows the upgrade to proceed beyond the ''low disk-space'' warning.
| |
| # The system should be upgraded to new version without error.
| |
| # The opened terminal, file browser, or other system applications should display and work correctly.
