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 KDE

Who's available[edit]

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

Development - Alessandro Astone (aleasto), Marc Deop (marcdeop), Neal Gompa (ngompa)
Quality Assurance - Sumantro Mukherjee (sumantrom), Kamil Paral (kparal), Adam Williamson (adamw)
Upstream - Nate Graham (ngraham), Joshua Goins (redstrate)

You can chat with us on Matrix. 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 42 KDE ISO. 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:

Fedora 42 Final blocker bugs

All new bugs should be reported into the KDE bug tracker. A less-preferred alternative is to file them into Red Hat Bugzilla. General desktop issues are generally reported against plasmashell in the KDE bug tracker, but each component has its own "product" there.

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!
