Description
This case tests upgrading a Fedora system from the current stable release (Fedora 40) to the development release (Rawhide/Fedora 41) using PreUpgrade.
How to test
- Perform an installation of the stable release (e.g. Fedora 40) with default partitioning (200MB for
/boot
). - Create a file that takes up enough space that preupgrade cannot download kernel+initrd.img now. That means we need to fill up /boot. Here's how to do that as root:
- # dd if=/dev/zero of=/boot/preupgrade_filler bs=1M count=170
- Install the newest available version of
preupgrade
. - Run
preupgrade
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.
- During downloading, preupgrade should warn that it failed to download installer data. Click quit for that.
- Replace /boot/preupgrade_filler by 100MB so that preupgrade can download kernel+initrd.img but install.img.
- # dd if=/dev/zero of=/boot/preupgrade_filler bs=1M count=100
- Re-run preupgrade, Click Yes to resume your upgrade.
- During downloading, preupgrade should warn that there wasn't enough space to download install.img but it can be downloaded after reboot if you have a wired network connection. Click continue for that.
- 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.
- # rm /boot/preupgrade_filler
- Click reboot.
Expected Results
- At first time, the preupgrade utility will fail to download installer data.
- At second time, The users are prompted with a Not enough space to download install.img warning.
- After reboot, the system should boot into the installer, connect to the internet via the ethernet cable and start downloading the stage2 installer image.
- The system should be upgraded to new version without error.
- The opened terminal, file browser, or other system applications should display and work correctly.
