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

Areas of of focus:

  • General functionality and new features for Plasma Desktop and Plasma Mobile
  • New installation flow with Plasma Setup
  • New login manager with Plasma Login Manager
  • Plasma Keyboard for keyboard-less devices or 2-in-1 devices where the keyboard can be selectively disabled


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. 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 Rawhide KDE ISO. Make sure to fully update your system.
    • Make sure you have no important data on that system. Things might go wrong -- don't do this on your production machine!

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 ➕ (plus) button for that test case.

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 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!

Exported Test Results[edit]

Test results will be exported here once the test day is over. See How to test? section for information how to submit results and see the live results.

  1. LibreOffice Math is misplaced in the 'Education' menu. It's a typesetting tool for office documents, not a standalone computer algebra system like Maple. Moving it to 'Office' or 'Science' is long overdue.
  2. Critical regression in Wayland session. Layout switching is completely broken when adding another language. The system resets to the default layout after the first character is typed. Only a single layout configuration is usable.
  3. The 'Magic Lamp' effect is completely broken in this build. Instead of minimizing to the taskbar icon (like it does in stable Fedora), the window collapses into a random point in space. This is a major UI regression. If you can't fix a simple window animation, how are you going to handle professional graphics? Stable version works, Rawhide is a mess. Fix the coordinates mapping for Wayland/KDE!
