Can't make the date?
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 and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.

What to test?[edit]

Today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on GNOME 3.37.90/3.38

Who's available?[edit]

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

Prerequisites for Test Day[edit]

  • A Fedora 33 Workstation nightly image either on bare metal or in VM (please make sure you have no important data on that installation, things might go wrong -- don't do this on your production machine!).
  • Enough free space on HDD

How to test?[edit]

Do exploratory testing[edit]

Use the latest Fedora 33 Workstation that includes GNOME 3.37.90. and see if you can find anything that's crashing or not working right. In that case, file a bug!

What to focus on?[edit]

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]

We have two separate places to file bugs. First, downstream in Fedora bug tracker. This is mostly useful for issues with packaging and for issues that need tracking downstream (blocker bugs for F33): Red Hat Bugzilla.

Second, there's upstream GNOME Gitlab that's useful for issues that are likely not Fedora-specific. If you file an issue downstream that looks like it needs a code fix, please file it upstream as well, to make sure all relevant people get notified of the issue.

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. no cursor when zoomed (maybe normal or just because I'm using qemu/kvm) All others passed
  2. Just a typing cursor present (after already installed to disk). Had to reboot and go back to wayland shell.
  3. All tests passed, routing works, etc.
  4. Could not save a web app (option not there.) Changing to dark theme does nothing. Same with font

  1. Zoom works, but the cursor disappears while zoomed, making it difficult to click on things. Turning on crosshairs helps complete the tests as an alternative to having a mouse cursor. Screen reader does not work at all. On Screen keyboard works as expected. I was not able to hold down the shift key to get slow keys activated as required by the test.
  2. Got the window that allows you to choose either run the live image or install, but I got no visible mouse and no desktop behind the window. The mouse was actually there, as I could see the buttons highlighting when I moved it around, but the cursor was not visible. I had to reboot the machine to get out of this state.
  3. GNOME Music is not present, but Rhythmbox works fine.
