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?

This Test Day will focus on the desktop backgrounds / wallpapers shipped in Fedora 36. There are two main sets of backgrounds we'd like tested:

  • The default Fedora 36 background - we did not make the beta media so we'd like folks to test the background and note their monitor(s) and resolution(s) and desktop environments(s) to ensure it looks acceptable. The "fedora" text logo in the lower right corner (under GNOME) should be visible. Users of the GNOME desktop will also have the opportunity to test the new "dark mode" feature which this wallpaper supports.
  • The extra wallpapers included by default with Fedora 36 - these also did not make the meta media. There is a set of 12 installed-by-default but not set as default wallpapers that will ship with Fedora 36. 6 of these are abstract wallpapers provided by GNOME upstream, and 6 are Fedora community submitted photographic wallpapers. All of this set of 12 wallpapers supports the new dark mode in Fedora Workstation / GNOME. we'd also like folks to test these backgrounds and note their monitor(s) and resolution(s) and desktop environments(s) to ensure it looks acceptable.

Who's available

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

You can chat with us on the Fedora Design channel on fedora.im https://matrix.to/#/#design:fedoraproject.org. See the infobox on top of the page to learn the right IRC channel.

Prerequisite for Test Day

  • A virtual machine or a bare metal machine
  • An installation of Fedora 35 (any Edition or Spin). Make sure to fully update your system. If installing a fresh system, it's recommended to use the latest nightly image. The nightly images *should* have all of the updated wallpapers in needed of testing by the test day.

How to test?

Visit the results page and click on the column title links to see the tests that need to be run: most column titles are links to a specific test case. Follow the instructions there, then enter your results by clicking the Enter result button for the test.

Please also try to experiment and explore and perform tasks not mentioned in any of the pre-defined test cases.

Reporting bugs

All bugs should be reported into Bugzilla, in most cases against the FIXME component. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask us on IRC (see instructions above).

Test Results

Test results will be exported here once the test day is over. See How to test? section for information how to submit results and see the live results.
