If you come to this page before or after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test, file any bugs you find at Bugzilla, and add your results to the results section. If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule [on Fedocal] and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.

What to test?[edit]

Today's instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on Virtualization in Fedora 29. Test cases will basic virtualization workflow, some cool functionality, as well as new features introduced in Fedora 28. The biggest one including Changes/VirtualBox Guest Integration

Who's available[edit]

The following cast of characters will be available for testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion.

Development - Hans de Goede(jwrdegoede)
Quality Assurance - Sumantro Mukherjee (sumantrom), Adam Williamson (adamw), Geoff (coremodule), Lukáš Růžička (lruzicka)

What's needed to test[edit]

For starters, your physical machine should have:

Hardware virtualization support (e.g. Intel VT or AMD-V) (see Is My Guest Using KVM?).
Up to 10-20Gb free disk space. Guest images take up a lot of space.
Get the packages with: dnf groupinstall virtualization

As for getting the latest virt packages, you have a few options:

Fedora 29 on a physical machine[edit]

The preferred testing platform is a fully updated Fedora 29 machine. You have a few options for getting the Fedora 29 bits:

Install with CD/DVD[edit]

You can download the latest Fedora 29 Pre-Beta composes here:

Run Fedora 29 in a VM with nested virtualization[edit]

Do you have a new machine with a ton of ram and storage space, running Fedora 27/28? Nested virt might be an option! This allows you to create KVM guests inside a Fedora 29 VM.

Run the tests[edit]

Visit the result page and click on the column title links to see the tests that need to be run: most column titles are links to a specific test case. Follow the instructions there, then enter your results by clicking the Enter result button for the test.

Reporting bugs[edit]

If you have problems with any of the tests, have a look in the results page.

If you don't see it, please file a new bug to Bugzilla. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on IRC #fedora-test-day or #fedora-qa and we will help you.

[1] Release version of F29

[2] RHBZ #1627696

[3] I used virt-builder to create the image. The provided qcow2 did not start because of some network problem.

[4] It got recognized as Fedora 28 possibly because Fedora 29 is not available in virt-manager (when I want to manually pick what version I am installing). Otherwise works well

[5] RHBZ #1627836 During install of Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-29-20180910.n.0, noticed install of VirtualBox Guest Additions 5.2.16 are installed, instead of 5.2.18. fixed with sudo dnf upgrade & reboot. Testing with nested virtualization with VM system settings with 4 CPU & 8 GB... actual hardware is 8 CPU & 32 GB, granted that is a different issue.

[6] Got this message "Please install the 'virt-viewer' package", but the installation completed fine.

[7] sted virtualization taking too much time for installation

[8] Fedora 29, Workstation Edition, KVM, x86_64

[9] The option "seamless mode" is disabled

[10] Attempting to install virtualbox from the Virtualbox repo leads to the previously described lib.vpx.so error. Installation succeeds from the RPMFusion repo, but VM startup hangs at the "Press F12 to select boot device" screen.
