[Fedora QA] #260: Cover USB-written images better in installation validation testing

#260: Cover USB-written images better in installation validation testing ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Reporter: adamwill | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 17 Component: Wiki | Version: Keywords: | ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- It became clear in the Fedora 16 cycle that use of Fedora images (both live and non-live) written to USB sticks is now extensive, and our current installation validation tests don't really test this method very comprehensively. We should extend the installation validation matrix to cover at least boot and installation in the following situations: * Live image written to USB stick using livecd-iso-to-disk * Live image written to USB stick using liveusb-creator * Live image written to USB stick using dd * Non-live image written to USB stick using livecd-iso-to-disk * Non-live image written to USB stick using dd We may want to consider different l-i-t-d parameters also (especially the use or non-use of --format could be significant). We could also cover use of unetbootin as an _informational_ (non-blocking) test, but I'm not super sure about that. Part of this ticket is deciding on the best way to represent this - whether it's by simply creating new test cases and adding them into the matrix, or somehow re-rendering the matrix to cover these cases as 'variants' of existing test cases, or some other method. The changes from this ticket and https://fedorahosted.org/fedora- qa/ticket/256 should be co-ordinated (possibly handled by the same person or group) as they both involve similar questions of how to revise the matrix to cover more situations. This should be completed by Fedora 17 Alpha TC1. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/260> Fedora QA <http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa> Fedora Quality Assurance

mouse scroll -- switches desktop
by Joshua Andrews 27 May '12

27 May '12

I'm using KDE and I'm running F17 in virtualbox so I'm not sure where the problem lies. Using the mouse wheel scrolls the virtual desktop even with the mouse inside an application window. This is very annoying. I have looked at all the desktop settings, configurations, whatever I can find that deals with mouse, desktop switching or shortcuts and I have yet to find anything that effects this annoying behavior. This started somewhere around the first beta release.

Criterion proposal - keyboard layouts
by drago01 18 May '12

18 May '12

We currently don't have any explicit criterion that mandates that keyboard layouts choose in the installer should work in the installed system. As a maintainer of one of the packages involved there (system-setup-keyboard) I see such bugs in basically every release, during the development cycle. We should pay more attention to such issues as a system that uses a different keyboard layout as the one physically present can not only be very annoying (we shouldn't release in that state) but can be useless when you have special characters in your password(s). (Can't easily decrypt / login). As seen in https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-March/097859.html we do currently have a paragraph that mentions this but is IMO way to vague. So I propose something like: "The keyboard layout selected in the installer must be in use after rebooting the installer (plymouth and X)".

GIMP 2.8
by Karel Volný 14 May '12

14 May '12

Dear GIMP lovers, for the first time after update to Fedora 17, I've needed to do some simple edits to a few photos. Now I feel it is time to say goodbye to GIMP and start saving for Photoshop ... There is no point for me in reporting bugs - this is some fundamental difference between my and the GIMP developers' thinking ("it is not a bug, it is a feature"). The first thing was that GIMP had asked me if I want the photos rotated according to EXIF. Hell yes, I can hardly remember any single case where I wouldn't want this. - There was just a little problem that I simply don't know which orientation is "standard". So I was really not sure what to answer, will the photo get rotated according to EXIF or will it be rotated from EXIF orientation to the physical orientation of the JPEG data in the file? And that's where I got the suspicion ... I wouldn't mind that "resize" got renamed to "scale". What do I mind is that "Save as" no longer works as before. I still have the possibility to choose the file extension, however trying to use "jpg" tells me that it won't save the file as JPEG and that I have to "export" the file. That sounds very "logical" when I've opened somefile.jpg and I just want to save it as someothername.jpg not to overwrite original; I do not want to "export" to any other format than what was the original. Ok, so I went to "export", did all the "advanced" settings and saved the file. Then the same for the rest of files I had altered. Oh, the JPEG settings dialogue doesn't remember the settings over the editing session as it always did? The only possibility not to spent half an hour clicking the same twenty times in a row is to save the settings as default. But I don't want these exact settings to be the default ... Cool, so I've spent half an hour "exporting" the files. So I'm finished, let's close GIMP. Hey, but what's that dialogue asking me to save unsaved changes of a file that I have just saved? Every single file that just got saved is treated as unsaved just because I was so bold not to use the one and only holy XCF format for reprocessed JPEGs? Okay, just enough for me ... Next time I'll rather spend my time studying ImageMagick usage to script the task even for less than ten images, rather than doing monkey work. So, feel free to join me with the moment of silence for the good old GIMP that is just getting buried.

firewalld versus old iptables setup?
by Tom Horsley 06 May '12

06 May '12

I see in f17 that firewalld is the default and iptables and ip6tables are not enabled by default. So if I have an elaborate /etc/sysconfig/iptables file that has grown over the years to do all sorts of complicated stuff, how do I port it to firewalld? Is firewalld nice enough to just go ahead and apply the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file at startup should I happen to create one?

Dovecot
by Mike Chambers 04 May '12

04 May '12

Did an upgrade from F16 to current F17 tree + updates on my server and all seemed well. Except for dovecot..which after the upgrade, it seemed to error on my client side (via imap) about namespace and inbox=yes and no namespace or something along those lines. Anyone else seen this? It seems downgrading back to the 2.0 version in F16 get it back to working again. -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "Best little town on Earth!"

Palimsest discrepancy
by ergodic 03 May '12

03 May '12

Has anyone experienced Palimpsest discrepancies? Palimsest in Fedora 16 reports a disk (MAXTOR STM3320620AS) as failing: "DISK HAS MANY BAD SECTORS" etc. SMART: 197 Current pending Sector Count Value -4 sectors. Palimsest in Fedora 17 beta reports the same disk (MAXTOR STM3320620AS) as "OK" SMART: 197 Current pending Sector Count 0 sectors OK. Obviously one is incorrect, which one? Regards.

F17 vs. Pentium 4
by Michael Hennebry 03 May '12

03 May '12

Has F17 been tested to see whether it will install on a Pentium 4? Recently I installed F15 because I could not get the F16 installer to boot. I can get the F13, F14 and F15 installers to boot without media. The F16 installer was a no go, both without media and with a minimal CD. In both cases, I got crashes that required pushing the reset button. I never got to tell them about the iso file. -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "On Monday, I'm gonna have to tell my kindergarten class, whom I teach not to run with scissors, that my fiance ran me through with a broadsword." -- Lily
