| |description=This test verifies how you can upgrade your Workstation graphically from Fedora 23 to Fedora 24 using GNOME Software
| |
| |setup=
| |
| # Make sure you are running Fedora 23 Workstation with a decent internet connection.
| |
| |actions=
| |
| <ol>
| |
| <li> Enable COPR repo with latest gnome-software: <pre>$ sudo dnf copr enable rhughes/f23-gnome320</pre>
| |
| <li> Fully update your system: <pre>$ sudo dnf update</pre>
| |
| <li> Reboot
| |
| <li> Look for {{filename|~/.cache/gnome-software/3.20/upgrades/fedora.json}} file. If you don't see it, start GNOME Software a wait a bit, it should appear. If you still don't see it, try running: <pre>$ pkcon refresh force</pre> You should see it now.
| |
| <li> Edit the file and search for <code>f24</code> string - you'll find a section related to Fedora 24. Change <code>status</code> key from <code>Under Development</code> value to <code>Active</code> value. This will convince GNOME Software that Fedora 24 is now a stable release and enable upgrade prompts. After the change, the section will look similarly to this (probably not exactly, at least the timestamps can be different):
| |
| <pre>
| |
| "allow_retire": true,
| |
| "branchname": "f24",
| |
| "date_created": "2016-02-23 22:57:55",
| |
| "date_updated": "2016-02-25 20:39:53",
| |
| "dist_tag": ".fc24",
| |
| "koji_name": "f24",
| |
| "name": "Fedora",
| |
| "status": "Active",
| |
| "version": "24"
| |
| </pre>
| |
| <li> Shortly you should see a system notification announcing available system upgrade. If you don't see it, try rebooting the computer or logging out and in again.
| |
| <li> Click the banner, it should open up GNOME Software in the ''Updates'' tab, where you should see a larger banner informing about the upgrade.
| |
| <li> Click ''Learn more'' link to see release notes.
| |
| <li> Download the upgrade files. It should be happening in the background, you should be able to close GNOME Software or go to other tabs in GNOME Software without interrupting it.
| |
| <li> Wait for a notification that the download is complete.
| |
| <li> In the ''Updates'' tab in GNOME Software, confirm performing the upgrade.
| |
| <li> Wait until your computer reboots into "offline upgrade" mode, perform the upgrade, and automatically reboots back into newly upgraded system.
| |
| <li> Verify that the system is upgraded and basic functionality works correctly.
| |
| </ol>

| # You should be notified that a newer Fedora release is available.
| |
| # You should see a banner about it in the ''Updates'' tab in gnome-software. | |
| # You should be able to display the release notes.
| |
| # Downloading the upgrade should happen in the background.
| |
| # You should see a notification when the download is complete.
| |
| # Installing the update should work just like an offline update, in the "offline upgrade" mode after reboot
| |
| # There should be warnings if you had RPMs installed before the upgrade that would be broken by the upgrade (e.g. 3rd party software).
