== 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.

== 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 == 

{{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!}}
{{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).}}

# 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.
# [[SELinux]] isn't needed, users don't have to enable it.
# Internet connection
# The special-purpose Test Day RPM package which includes necessary dependencies and provides all testing scripts.
## 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])
## 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>
## Lastly, install the package using: <code>yum --enablerepo=rawhide-debuginfo localinstall testday-pm-0.6-1.fc12.YOURARCH.rpm</code>
# Kernel debugging info:
#* Install the required package: <code>debuginfo-install kernel</code>
#* Alternatively, you can install the debuginfo kernel using {{command|yum}}: <code>yum --enablerepo=rawhide-debuginfo install kernel-debuginfo</code>
#* ''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>
# Upload your hardware to [http://www.smolts.org Smolt] according to [http://smolts.org/smolt-wiki/Main_Page#Usage these instructions].

== Running the tests ==

=== Update your machine ===

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

=== Tests ===

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:
* <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 ====

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

=== 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/>}}
