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.

If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Bugzilla usually for the component preupgrade. 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. For each test case, use the result template to enter your result, as shown in the example result line.

Long comments[edit]

  1. Also tested low /boot space for download. A window displayed warning 'failed to download install data. This could be caused by a missing network connection or a bad mirror'
  2. It even did not start downloading packages printing:

    "File "/usr/share/yum-cli/output.py", line 687, in userconfirm

    choice = raw_input(_('Is this ok [y/N]: '))

    UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters...".

    It seems to be a yum bug related to upstream--Python.
