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?[edit]

Today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on Upgrade Test Day

Who's available[edit]

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion. In case of problem related to test day organization/wiki/whatever, please reach out to sumantrom.

Prerequisite for Test Day[edit]

  • A system (real or virtual) you can install Fedora to, and not mind if it breaks
  • A Fedora 34 image: download Workstation or Server or KDE and other spins
  • For Previous Test Cases: download Fedora 33
  • Make sure to use the latest version of dnf for F33 is installed

How to test?[edit]

Run the tests[edit]

Visit the result 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.

Reporting bugs[edit]

If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Bugzilla usually for the component dnf. 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.

Anaconda will display an error dialog allowing you to report the problem to Bugzilla. This will also automatically attach logs, error message and traceback to the report -- this way of reporting bugs is preferred.

  1. RHBZ #1982817 RHBZ #2001279 After reboot, no audio adapter is found. Relevant Pipewire packages (pipewire, pipewire-alsa, pipewire-libs, pipewire-pulseaudio...) are installed and updated to f35, but no adapter is shown in Settings nor the volume bar is shown on the Top bar of Gnome-shell. A "dnf install pipewire-media-session --allowerasing" and "systemctl --user enable --now pipewire-media-session" shows the audio adapter (only analog audio output, though, not the main laptop speakers)

  1. Upgrade itself went cleanly, but no sound devices were available. After poking around a bit I found I had to manually enable and start wireplumber systemctl --user enable --now wireplumber, after which everything worked fine.

  1. Initially, I could not complete the 'system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=35' until I removed an arduino package I rarely use 'dnf remove arduino'. Probably available nowadays via snapstore instead.
  2. Auto detected and removed incompatible arduino (with good popup)

  1. Congratulations Fedora team, very good, this version really promises big improvements. The only observation is that I needed to change the login screen to "Cinnamon Software Rendering" option, otherwise it is on a white screen and the Apps are even called but they are not shown on the screen preventing interaction with them <<-- pay attention to this detail. Cinnamon version 5.0.5 is amazing. Other Apps tested: Firefox, Kolourpaint, Java-11, Google Chrome and even Edge Dev Edition worked.

  1. Upgrade commands worked as expected, but the upgraded VM behaved strangely after login with existing user to Xfce desktop. Reactions to mouse activities (open menu, launch application, move window) were delayed by 60~80s, and no sound device was available. A new created user didn't show those delays, but was still without sound. I then tried a fresh install from the F35 Beta live image and that resulted in a nicely working VM without those issues.
