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, 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 Anaconda will use DNF5 and Deprecate DNF modularity

Who's available?[edit]

The following cast of characters will be available for 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.

Prerequisites for Test Day[edit]

  • Latest Everything netinst x86_64 image (master mirror), or aarch64 (master mirror), of Fedora Rawhide downloaded.
    • Do not use a Live image - Live images don't use DNF to install the system, so you won't be able to complete any of the relevant test cases.
  • A bare metal or a virtual machine available for installation. (Make sure you have no important data on that system. Things might go wrong -- don't do this on your production machine!)
  • Make sure the Anaconda Version Software anaconda-core-43.30-1.fc43.x86_64 or higher is installed on the system ( grep anaconda-core /root/lorax-packages.log in CLI (root shell is available on TTY2 on the boot.iso)

How to test?[edit]

Use Fedora Rawhide Everything boot.iso and see if you can find anything that's crashing or not working correctly. In that case, file a bug!

Anything related to RPM package installation is important. This includes both interactive and automated (kickstart) installations as well as local (DVD) and remote (HTTP/NFS/FTP) package sources.

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:

Vast majority of bugs are likely going to be upstream code issues and should be reported into Bugzilla under the "anaconda" component.

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
  • you can then use fpaste or scp to copy out the journal from the machine
  • 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!
