Plan / proposal: enable openQA update testing and potentially
gating on Rawhide updates
by Adam Williamson
Hi folks!
We've had openQA testing of updates for stable and branched releases,
and gating based on those tests, enabled for a while now. I believe
this is going quite well, and I think we addressed the issues reported
when we first enabled gating - Bodhi's gating status updates work more
smoothly now, and openQA respects Bodhi's "re-run tests" button so
failed tests can be re-triggered.
A few weeks ago, I enabled testing of Rawhide updates in the openQA
lab/stg instance. This was to see how smoothly the tests run, how often
we run into unexpected failures or problems, and whether the hardware
resources we have are sufficient for the extra load.
So far this has been going more smoothly than I anticipated, if
anything. The workers seem to keep up with the test load, even though
one out of three worker systems for the stg instance is currently out
of commission (we're using it to investigate a bug). We do get
occasional failures which seem to be related to Rawhide kernel slowness
(e.g. operations timing out that usually don't otherwise time out), but
on the whole, the level of false failures is (I would say) acceptably
low, enough that my current regime of checking the test results daily
and restarting failed ones that don't seem to indicate a real bug
should be sufficient.
So, I'd like to propose that we enable Rawhide update testing on the
production openQA instance also. This would cause results to appear on
the Automated Tests tab in Bodhi, but they would be only informational
(and unless the update was gated by a CI test, or somehow otherwise
configured not to be pushed automatically, updates would continue to be
pushed 'stable' almost immediately on creation, regardless of the
openQA results).
More significantly, I'd also propose that we turn on gating on openQA
results for Rawhide updates. This would mean Rawhide updates would be
held from going 'stable' (and included in the next compose) until the
gating openQA tests had run and passed. We may want to do this a bit
after turning on the tests; perhaps Fedora 37 branch point would be a
natural time to do it.
Currently this would usually mean a wait from update submission to
'stable push' (which really means that the build goes into the
buildroot, and will go into the next Rawhide compose when it happens)
of somewhere between 45 minutes and a couple of hours. It would also
mean that if Rawhide updates for inter-dependent packages are not
correctly grouped, the dependent update(s) will fail testing and be
gated until the update they depend on has passed testing and been
pushed. The tests for the dependent update(s) would then need to be re-
run, either by someone hitting the button in Bodhi or an openQA admin
noticing and restarting them, before the dependent update(s) could be
pushed.
In the worst case, if updated packages A and B both need the other to
work correctly but the updates are submitted separately, both updates
may fail tests and be blocked. This could only be resolved by waiving
the failures, or replacing the separate updates with an update
containing both packages.
All of those considerations are already true for stable and branched
releases, but people are probably more used to grouping updates for
stable and branched than doing it for Rawhide, and the typical flow of
going from a build to an update provides more opportunity to create
grouped updates for branched/stable. For Rawhide the easiest way to do
it if you need to do it is to do the builds in a side tag and use
Bodhi's ability to create updates from a side tag.
As with branched/stable, only critical path updates would have the
tests run and be gated on the results. Non-critpath updates would be
unaffected. (There's a small allowlist of non-critpath packages for
which the tests are also run, but they are not currently gated on the
results).
I think doing this could really help us keep Rawhide solid and avoid
introducing major compose-breaking bugs, at minimal cost. But it's a
significant change and I wanted to see what folks think. In particular,
if you find the existing gating of updates for stable/branched releases
to cause problems in any way, I'd love to hear about it.
Thanks folks!

F32, Automatic suspend isn't working.
by Chris Murphy
cross-posting test@ and desktop@
Fedora Workstation 32 (upgraded from f31)
Laptop on battery power set aside, 12 hours later it's dead instead of
sleeping. On F31 it reliably would sleep after 20 minutes.
Sleep still happens when pressing the power button and closing the
lid. It seems to be a GNOME automatic suspend timer problem.
Using dconf editor, I changed the
/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/sleep-inactive-battery-timeout
Custom value 30 and the problem doesn't happen. Is there a way to
increase debug messages somehow to find out whether this timeout is
being reached? And what process or policy is causing it to be reset?
With the available information I can't figure out what's preventing
sleep.

2022-10-03 @ 16:00 UTC - Fedora 37 Blocker Review Meeting
by Adam Williamson
# F36 Blocker Review meeting
# Date: 2022-10-03
# Time: 16:00 UTC
# Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.libera.chat
Hi folks! We have 6 proposed Final blockers and 3 proposed Final
freeze exceptions to review, so let's have a review meeting. Note, I
will be away on Monday, so Geoff (coremodule) will run the meeting.
If you have time this weekend, you can take a look at the proposed or
accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found
here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ .
Remember, you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings! If
you look at the bug list in the blockerbugs app, you'll see links
labeled "Vote!" next to all proposed blockers and freeze exceptions.
Those links take you to tickets where you can vote.
https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review has instructions on how
exactly you do it. We usually go through the tickets shortly before the
meeting and apply any clear votes, so the meeting will just cover bugs
where there wasn't a clear outcome in the ticket voting yet. **THIS
MEANS IF YOU VOTE NOW, THE MEETING WILL BE SHORTER!**
We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the
Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not
fixed. Information on the release criteria for F36 can be found on the
wiki [0].
For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process,
check out these links:
- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process
- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process
And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting
works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out
the SOP on the wiki:
- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting
Have a good weekend and Geoff will see you on Monday!

Loud PC speaker beep during reboot, sometimes
by Kamil Paral
Completely randomly, my laptop sometimes emits a loud PC speaker beep while
rebooting/powering off Fedora 37. The beep is very strong, and as a PC
speaker sound, it of course ignores any configured volume level, mute
status, and even headphones plugged in. I fortunately am in a different
room than the rest of my family sleeps in, but if I were in the same room,
and were I just a regular user, this would probably be the last day of
Fedora on that laptop. The beep is that loud and uncomfortable, especially
at night.
I wonder if somebody else running F37 noticed it as well? Any hints what
might cause it and how we can fix it? It never happened on F36 on the same
laptop.
Thanks,
Kamil

Heads up: GNOME 43.0 megaupdate is in testing
by Kalev Lember
Hi all,
Just a quick heads up that the GNOME 43.0 final release megaupdate is
now in F37 updates-testing:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2022-0bd68bbb43
This is the GNOME version that's we'll be shipping F37 Final with, so
please make sure to test it and file issues for things that would need
fixing before F37 GA. I'd suggest starting upstream at gitlab.gnome.org
for most issues, and then letting me (and other people) know in
#fedora-workstation if anything needs backporting to Fedora (since there
won't be any more upstream releases before F37 Final). If anything looks
to be release blockery, then please also file issues downstream at
bugzilla.redhat.com as soon as possible and mark them as blockers using
the blockerbugs page,
https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/37/final/buglist
At the same time, please don't block the update with -1 karma unless
there's something really amiss: We need the megaupdate to go stable and
we can iterate from there.
It all passed my own smoke testing and things were calm upstream and
it's mostly just bug fixes at this point, compared to 43.rc.
Thanks everybody and let's make this a good release!
