== What to test ==
We'd like to check power management tuning available for Fedora-12.


If you come to this page after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable. You can check whether you save some energy after applying tuning.
== WARNING! The site is still under construction ==


== Who's available ==


The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, general discussion ...
* Development - [[User:Pknirsch|Phil Knirsch]], [[User:mmaslano|Marcela Maslanova]] (marcela on irc), [[User:Plautrba|Petr Lautrbach]], [[User:Jskala|Jiri Skala]] (skalnik on irc)
* Quality Assurance - [[User:jscotka|Jan Scotka]]


== Prerequisite ==  
== What to test? ==


{{admon/caution|Disk space|Please make sure you have enough space on your disk. You will need <code>kernel-debuginfo</code> package whis is about 250MB large!}}
=== For "Extended tuned" ===
{{admon/note|Live systems|We prefer testing on installed system. It is almost impossible to test on LiveCD because of required disk space. If you decide to test on LiveUSB, please, add a note into results table about this (into HW column).}}
* yum install tuned
* service tuned start
* cpu, disk and net devices should adapt to usage (monitor using strace e.g.)**
* If ktune is enabled check if the system settings for the current profile are being applied and restored when stopping the service


# An installed [[Releases/Rawhide|Rawhide]] (development version of Fedora) with graphical environment.  Alternatively, you may install [http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease Fedora 12 Beta] and update your system.
=== For "System tuning configuration and profiles" ===
# [[SELinux]] isn't needed, users don't have to enable it.
* Run the new system tuning tool and list the different available profiles using:
# Internet connection
** tuned-adm list
# The special-purpose Test Day RPM package which includes necessary dependencies and provides all testing scripts.
* Run the new system tuning tool and select one of the profiles. Restart the machine afterwards and make sure the profile is being used at startup
## Download the package for your architecture: ([http://jvcelak.fedorapeople.org/testday-091022/testday-pm-0.6-1.fc12.i686.rpm i686], [http://jvcelak.fedorapeople.org/testday-091022/testday-pm-0.6-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm x86_64], [http://jvcelak.fedorapeople.org/testday-091022/testday-pm-0.6-1.fc12.ppc.rpm ppc], [http://jvcelak.fedorapeople.org/testday-091022/testday-pm-0.6-1.fc12.ppc64.rpm ppc64])
** tuned-adm modes laptop-battery-powersave
## Download the [http://jvcelak.fedorapeople.org/testday-091022/testday-20091022.asc package public key] and import into RPM: <code>su -c "rpm --import testday-20091022.asc"</code>
** tuned-adm modes default
## Lastly, install the package using: <code>yum --enablerepo=rawhide-debuginfo localinstall testday-pm-0.6-1.fc12.YOURARCH.rpm</code>
** tuned-adm modes throughput-performance
# Kernel debugging info:
=== For "New tool to measure improvements to system configuration changes or application changes" ===
#* Install the required package: <code>debuginfo-install kernel</code>
* yum install tuned-utils
#* Alternatively, you can install the debuginfo kernel using {{command|yum}}: <code>yum --enablerepo=rawhide-debuginfo install kernel-debuginfo</code>
* run scomes
#* ''NOTE'' - be sure that the ''kernel-debuginfo'' version matches your kernel version.  You can confirm by running the command <code>rpm -q kernel-debuginfo-$(uname -r)</code>
* change system settings
# Upload your hardware to [http://www.smolts.org Smolt] according to [http://smolts.org/smolt-wiki/Main_Page#Usage these instructions].
* run scomes again
* compare restults


== Running the tests ==


=== Update your machine ===
== Who's available ==


It will be needed rawhide machine. Howto install or update [[Releases/Rawhide|Rawhide]].


=== Tests ===
The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...
* Development - [[User:Pknirsch|Phil Knirsch]], [[User:mmaslano|Marcela Maslanova]], [[User:Plautrba|Petr Lautrbach]], [[User:Jskala|Jiri Skala]] (skalnik on irc)
* Quality Assurance - [[User:dpravec|David Pravec]] (dpravec), [[User:jscotka|Jan Scotka]]


The test cases are split into test groups. Some of the tests are a bit time-consuming. Please perform as many tests as possible. If you aren't able to run them all, please remember that the tests in each table are sorted by importance in descending order.


You don't have to download any special scripts for each test. Our Testday package provides following commands:
== Prerequisite for Test Day ==
* <code>testday-run-''testname''</code> (performing tests)
* <code>testday-pack-results</code> (packing results of all tests in .tag.gz file)


There is a note about permission in the description of each test. Please follow this information.


==== X Window System ====
* A system with some kind of network connection
* [[Releases/Rawhide|Rawhide]] (tips on installing Rawhide below - the live CD is tested to - suitability for this test day).
* Your hardware profile uploaded to [http://www.smolts.org Smolt] according to [http://smolts.org/smolt-wiki/Main_Page#Usage these instructions]


These tests should be performed on all systems in X11 environment.

These tests should be performed in single mode.
See the instructions on the [[Releases/Rawhide|Rawhide]] page on the various ways in which you can install or update to Rawhide. Or:


{{admon/tip|Refraining reboots|We recommend reading the description of both tests and performing these in sequence - to refrain more reboots.}}

Following tests are intended only for laptops. If you don't have a laptop, don't perform these tests because they are based on capacity of a battery.
=== Test Cases ===


{{admon/important|Battery|Please charge your battery before performing any test.}}
<!-- Provide a list of test areas or test cases that you'd like contributors to execute.  For other examples, see [[:Category:Test_Cases]].

=== Results ===
=== Test Results ===


* Send your Smolt profile if you haven't done it already (see [[Test_Day:2009-10-22#Prerequisite|Prerequsite]]).
* Create compressed file with results by running: <code>testday-pack-results</code>
* [[Special:Upload|Upload]] created file to this wiki.
* Add your results into the table below.


{{admon/note|File uploading|The <code>testday-pack-results</code> will create file <code>/tmp/testday-091022-your-public-smolt-profile-uuid.tar.gz</code>. This name should be unique. But pay attention when uploading it - do not overwrite somebody else's file!<br/>}}
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. For example:
