Construct a table or list to allow testers to post results. Each column should be a test case or configuration, and each row should consist of test results. Include some instructions on how to report bugs, and any special instructions. Here's an example, from a Palimpsest test day:
If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to [https://bugzilla.redhat.com Bugzilla]. If you are unsure about the component, use "[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?component=LiveCD%20-%20Xfce&product=Fedora LiveCD - Xfce]".


If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to [https://bugzilla.redhat.com Bugzilla] usually for the component [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=13&component=udisks udisks], or [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=13&component=gnome-disk-utility gnome-disk-utility] for bugs in the Palimpsest graphical front end itself. 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. Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the Results table below, following the example results from the first line as a template. The first column should be your name with a link to your User page in the Wiki if you have one, and the second should be a link to the Smolt profile of the system you tested. For each test case, use the [[Template:result|result template]] to enter your result, as shown in the example result line.

Fedora Xfce 4.8
Fedora Xfce 4.8

Date 2011-02-17
Time all day

Website QA/Fedora_15_test_days
IRC #fedora-test-day (webirc)
Mailing list test


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 instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on the Xfce 4.8 desktop in Fedora.

Who's available[edit]

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

Prerequisite for Test Day[edit]

Update your machine[edit]

See the instructions on the Branched page on the various ways in which you can install or update to the Branched Release.

Live Image[edit]

Optionally, you may download a non-destructive branched live image for your architecture:

Both architectures are located here. Checksums are also available at that link.

Tips on using a live image are available at FedoraLiveCD.

GDM bug
When booting the image normally you will likely find it fails to reach the desktop. This is due to a bug in GDM. To avoid this, boot to runlevel 3, log in as user 'liveuser' (no password), and run startx. A custom live image to avoid this bug may be made available during the event.

Testing[edit]

The following bullet points could use the most care, please see below for testing.

Things that are potentially changing from F14 -> F15[edit]

  • The Xfce SIG has chosen to drop totem and totem-mozplugin in favor of parole and parole-mozplugin
  • Midori is a web browser endorsed by upstream Xfce as the official browser of their Desktop Environment, we as the Xfce SIG would like to keep this browser showcased but we will continue to ship Mozilla Firefox as the default as there are still some concerns about functionality. Please use Midori to browse to popular sites and login to test in order to help the efforts to provide feedback upstream, suggestions: Fedora Community, Gmail, Google Docs, Facebook, MySpace, etc.
  • remmina vnc client and panel plugin has been added, please test this functionality and report all issues.
  • gnome-screensaver will be replaced by xscreensaver as gnome-screensaver will no longer detect idle without gnome-session running

Beyond this, please just install Xfce on Branched - yum install @XFCE - and check that everything within Xfce you expect to work, does work. In particular, check that all the configuration applets work correctly. As it's fairly obvious how to test these, we decided not to include specific test cases for each applet; just run each one, and check that changing the settings has the intended effect. If you find any problems, please say so in the IRC chat session.

Notes from testing / Non-Bugzilla issues[edit]

All open bugs in XFCE4 bugzilla

Howto test results[edit]
  • confirm gdm offers Xfce4 as a session type
  • confirm you can select this session and login
  • confirm settings changes can be made and saved, and are found after a logout/login cycle.
  • confirm day to day desktop functions are working.
  • confirm all settings dialogs come up and work.
  • confirm xfce4-mixer starts and can manage any sound card(s).
  • confirm parole is a comparable replacement for totem
  • confirm midori is stable and feature rich enough to be a drop in replacement for other browsers.
  • confirm xscreensaver functions as expected (locks after idle, displays screensaver animation, etc.)

Test Cases[edit]

Provide a list of test areas or test cases that you'd like contributors to execute. For other examples, see Category:Test_Cases.

Test Results[edit]

If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Bugzilla. If you are unsure about the component, use "LiveCD - Xfce".

Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the Results table below, following the example results from the first line as a template. The first column should be your name with a link to your User page in the Wiki if you have one, and the second should be a link to the Smolt profile of the system you tested. For each test case, use the result template to enter your result, as shown in the example result line.

  2. yum --releasever=15 --disablerepo=updates --enablerepo=updates-testing update;; Error: Package: xfce4-stopwatch-plugin-0.2.0-2.fc13.i686 (@fedora/$releasever); Requires: libxfce4panel.so.1; Removing: xfce4-panel-4.6.4-1.fc14.i686; @fedora/$releasever); libxfce4panel.so.1;; etc...
  3. ssh remote connection from thunar works, password correctly stored during session. nm-applet asks for password after login to unlock keyring, even if it's the same as login pw.
