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 Upgrade Test Day

Who's available[edit]

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion. In case of problem related to test day organization/wiki/whatever, please reach out to sumantrom.

Prerequisite for Test Day[edit]

  • A system (real or virtual) you can install Fedora to, and not mind if it breaks
  • A Fedora 33 image: download Workstation or Server or KDE and other spins
  • For Previous Test Cases: download Fedora 32
  • Make sure to use the latest version of dnf for F32 is installed

How to test?[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]

If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Bugzilla usually for the component dnf. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on IRC and we will help you.

Anaconda will display an error dialog allowing you to report the problem to Bugzilla. This will also automatically attach logs, error message and traceback to the report -- this way of reporting bugs is preferred.

  3. Stalled @ 36% for 3 hours during the rebooot conversion. Forgot about ESC to see text. Rebooted and installed updated download from software app. Reboot installed and I think I got the required result: New gnome4 40.0 desktop is here. Operation seems OK.

  1. Everything works well (even did a dnf upgrade after system-upgrade to F34), except running hostnamectl status makes all the terminal text become a link to https://fedoramagazine.org afterwards (clearing the terminal does not help). Anyway, not a major issue IMO so marking this test as passed.
  2. Upgrade went smoothly except for the issue with hostnamectl status (in the terminal) which turns anything after it into a link

  1. It went just fine, installing took about an hour, tho. The GNOME 40 is laggy and gestures poorly calibrated — they require too long movement. When I tried to add an app to favorites for the first time — it didn't move to app bar, but got duplicated (like in prev gnome). Also, got a weird bug where workspace got strangely displaced and stuck, while I was closing app grid with gesture, but I can't reproduce it now. Can confirm hostnamectl bug. Also, I found a new Tour app not helping with activities — it wasn't clear enough about what they are and where to find them. When doing any gesture fedora logo (from extension) is getting to the bottom for a second.

  1. I just had to disable one internal repo which didn't have a F34 branch. GNOME Software gave me a very cryptic error message on that, so it was not very clear what to do. Otherwise the upgrade performed flawlessly.

Pressing 'e' at the start and removing "rd.driver.blacklist=noveau modprobe.blacklist=noveau nvidia.drm.modeset=1" solves the issue.
