Can't make the date?
If you come to this page 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, 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]

This Test Day will focus on Podman Desktop

Who's available[edit]

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

You can chat with us on Matrix or IRC. See the infobox on top of the page to learn where to join.

Prerequisite for Test Day[edit]

  • A virtual machine or a bare metal machine
  • An installation of Fedora 40 (any Edition or Spin) from here. Make sure to fully update your system. If installing a fresh system, it's recommended to use the latest nightly image.

How to test?[edit]

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[edit]

Perhaps you've found an already-reported bug. Please look at:

All new bugs should be reported into the upstream bug tracker.

We really need bug reports!
Please note that just mentioning your problem into the comments section on the results page is not very helpful. Very often those problems only happen in specific circumstances, or with specific steps taken. We need the logs and screenshots, and we need to be able to ask you followup questions. Please file bug reports, it's much more useful than a short comment. Thank you!

When filing the bug, it's very helpful to include:

  • exact steps you've performed (and whether you can reproduce it again)
  • screenshots or videos, if applicable
  • system journal (log), which you can retrieve by journalctl -b > journal.txt
  • all output in a terminal, if started from a terminal
  • your system description

If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask us.

Please make sure to link to the bug when submitting your test result, thanks!

  1. Using Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-40_Beta-1.10.iso in Virtual Manager (updated 3/25). Installed without errors and launched the application with no apparent issues. Noticed several errors shown when application was run via command line. Unsure if this is considered a bug, as the application did not appear to be affected in an obvious way. Terminal messages from initial run: https://pastebin.com/dhdt2Prc Terminal log from second run: https://pastebin.com/ujttXmEf
  2. Image was successfully pulled and appeared in the "Images" list. The instructions, however, appear incorrect. The Search functionality appears to only search through previously-pulled images. To search for a new image, it was required to first click on the "Pull" button, followed by entering the desired image under the "Image to Pull" text box, and finally clicking the "Pull Image" button.

  1. After deleting the pod the was a notification on the computer reporting that an application was using excessive memory and was stopped. Upon returning to Podman Desktop all previous images and containers were not visible. Podman desktop was closed and when it was re-opened the previous containers were visible, but the pod was not deleted. The pod was then deleted successfully
