What to test?

This Fedora Test Day will focus on DeviceKit.

DeviceKit power - testing braindump

Who's available

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

Development - David Zeuthen, Tomas Bzatek, Richard Hughes, Matthias Clasen
Quality Assurance - Radek Biba, Ondrej Hudlicky, User:QE3 (TBD)

Prerequisities for the test day

Fully updated Rawhide
Free space for more partitions on a HD
FAS Account - you can create an account in 3 minutes if you don't have one
Your hardware profile uploaded to Smolt according to these instructions

Backup Your Data
We're going to do dangerous things to partition tables and partitions. Don't perform your testing on a disk with data you'd like to keep.

Optional accessories

USB flash disk / MP3 player / memory card reader with a card or two
External HD (connected via USB or FireWire)
DVD-RAM writer & media, internal or external
PCMCIA memory card reader with a card
RAID array
Encrypted partitions
Any other exotic storage device you have

How to test?

Update your machine

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

Live Image

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

i386
x86_64

Tips on using a live image are available at FedoraLiveCD.

Note
Creating a LiveUSB of this rawhide image requires the latest version of syslinux, which is currently available in Rawhide and in the latest Windows liveusb-creator. Users of F10 and below can

# yum --enablerepo=rawhide update syslinux

Filing Bugs

All bugs will be tracked in Bugzilla.

To file a bug against DeviceKit, [Test%20Day&cf_qa_whiteboard=TestDay click here]

Please include the following information when filing a bug:

devkit-disks --dump
devkit-power --dump

Testing

Perform each of the following test cases that you are able to with the resources available to you.

Test Results

Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the Results table below, following the example results from Sample User 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 your Smolt hardware profile (see above for a link with instructions on submitting your hardware profile to Smolt).

For each test case, if your system worked correctly, simply enter the word PASS. If you had any failures, enter the word FAIL, as a link to the bug report for the failure. If you could not meaningfully run the test due to limitations of your system or because of failures in more basic functionality, enter the word N/A. In the comments column, you can enter the any additional information worth noting during your testing (work-arounds, observations etc...).
