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?
Today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on Virtualization in Fedora 34. We will be interested covering the regular virt-install, KVM, Boxes, Vbox.
Who's available
The following cast of characters will be available for testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion.
- Development - Hans de Goede(jwrdegoede), Felipe Borges(feborges)
- Quality Assurance - Sumantro Mukherjee (sumantrom), Adam Williamson (adamw), Geoff (coremodule), Lukáš Růžička (lruzicka)
What's needed to test
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 34 on a physical machine
The preferred testing platform is a fully updated Fedora 34 machine. You have a few options for getting the Fedora 34 bits:
Install with CD/DVD
You can download the latest Fedora 34 composes here:
- Workstation live .ISO:
- Server DVD:
- cloud image:
Run Fedora 34 in a VM with nested virtualization
Do you have a new machine with a ton of ram and storage space, running Fedora 33/32? Nested virt might be an option! This allows you to create KVM guests inside a Fedora 34 VM.
