16:03:35 #info Our purpose in this meeting is to review proposed blocker and nice-to-have bugs and decide whether to accept them, and to monitor the progress of fixing existing accepted blocker and nice-to-have bugs. 16:03:39 #info We'll be following the process outlined at: 16:03:41 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting 16:03:44 #info The bugs up for review today are available at: 16:03:46 #link http://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/current 16:03:49 #info The criteria for release blocking bugs can be found at: 16:03:51 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_26_Alpha_Release_Criteria 16:03:54 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_26_Beta_Release_Criteria 16:03:57 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_26_Final_Release_Criteria 16:04:00 looks like we've got 3 proposals each for Beta/Final 16:04:35 #topic (1439388) Kickstart installs sometimes die with traceback ending in gdbus error 16:04:38 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1439388 16:04:41 #info Proposed Blocker, anaconda, NEW 16:05:33 I'm +1 blocker on this, as it seems that in at least some cases it can happen every time or almost every time 16:05:35 +1 on the basis of c8 16:05:54 seems right to me 16:06:02 * roshi hasn't done a ks install to confirm though 16:06:04 +1 16:06:05 +1 blocker 16:06:13 it prevented rebuild of the openQA base images for f26 on the openQA server until I hacked up the creation script to apply an updates.img with the fix; seemed like every attempt to create one of the images ran into this 16:06:20 +1 16:06:45 roshi: also, you should do some backup #chairs and get a secretarary 16:07:06 proposed #agreed - AcceptedBlocker - RHBZ#1439388 - This bug is a violation of the following Alpha criterion: "The scripted installation mechanism must provide a working function for creating local user accounts, including the ability to specify a hashed password, and for specifying a hashed password for the root account." 16:07:17 but if I have all the chairs, I can build mega-chair 16:07:27 and coremodule volunteered already 16:07:40 #chair adamw garretraziel cmurf coremodule pwhalen 16:07:40 Current chairs: adamw cmurf coremodule garretraziel pwhalen roshi 16:07:40 ack 16:07:58 MEGACHAIR 16:08:02 * roshi mourns the loss of megachair 16:08:04 oh, so he did. 16:08:21 roshi: maybe note it's a *conditional* violation, but ack. 16:08:46 proposed #agreed - AcceptedBlocker - RHBZ#1439388 - This bug is considered a conditional violation of the following Alpha criterion: "The scripted installation mechanism must provide a working function for creating local user accounts, including the ability to specify a hashed password, and for specifying a hashed password for the root account." 16:09:22 acks? 16:09:31 ackbar 16:09:40 let's just get that one out of the gate 16:09:50 ack 16:09:58 #agreed - AcceptedBlocker - RHBZ#1439388 - This bug is considered a conditional violation of the following Alpha criterion: "The scripted installation mechanism must provide a working function for creating local user accounts, including the ability to specify a hashed password, and for specifying a hashed password for the root account." 16:10:16 #topic (1438046) initial-setup.service: Failed to set up stdin: Inappropriate ioctl for device 16:10:19 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1438046 16:10:22 #info Proposed Blocker, initial-setup, NEW 16:10:56 IMHO this is yet again some ARM specific weirdness 16:11:08 sadly I missed this for Alpha, not all sbc's are affected but allwinner is 16:11:40 seems pretty +1-y to me... 16:11:44 * kparal will be back in 10 16:11:47 +1 blocker 16:12:02 still, I have a rough plan how to handle stuff like this, by basically starting the IS TUI on all suitable consoles 16:12:07 +1 16:12:17 +1 16:12:31 at once 16:12:37 mkolman_: hum...would that mean if it failed to start properly you wouldn't be able to bypass it at all? 16:13:00 adamw: it would mean one console not starting up should not be an issue 16:13:10 yes, i see the upside 16:13:16 i'm just trying to think of downsides... 16:13:33 adamw: but the main motivation is - which console is valid ? 16:13:38 proposed #agreed - AcceptedBlocker - RHBZ#1438046 - This bug is a violation of the following criterion: "Release-blocking ARM disk images must boot to the initial-setup utility." 16:13:44 adamw: the graphical one or say a ttys0 ? 16:13:51 there is really not way to tell 16:13:58 true 16:14:00 *no way to tell 16:14:14 ack 16:14:15 ACKnowledged 16:14:30 ack 16:14:55 so hopefully all this would also work in practice :) 16:15:27 thanks mkolman_, happy to test once you have something 16:15:35 #agreed - AcceptedBlocker - RHBZ#1438046 - This bug is a violation of the following criterion: "Release-blocking ARM disk images must boot to the initial-setup utility." 16:15:36 BTW, any suggestions how to list all consoles users might be using in a robust manner ? ;-) 16:15:44 pwhalen: thanks! :) 16:15:47 last one for Beta 16:15:59 mkolman_: ls /dev/*ty* , i'm sure that'd work with no problems ;) 16:16:17 #topic (1227736) Minimal grub after a kernel update with gnome-software 16:16:20 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1227736 16:16:22 #info Proposed Blocker, plymouth, NEW 16:16:23 * mkolman_ points to PPC & hvc0 16:16:34 Per ususal, I've used the bugzilla as my lab journal, with running commentary, just in case I die midstream, someone can pick up this very important work. However, I'll summarize. 16:16:59 All pk-offline updates reboot with remount-ro failure of root fs, resulting in XFS and ext4 being dirty at next boot; this can result in boot failure if grub.cfg is on an XFS rootfs. 16:17:27 And the reason why is Plymouth is exempting itself from being killed by systemd, so rootfs can't be remount-ro. 16:18:06 Systemd folks basically ask to please not do that. https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2017-March/038533.html 16:18:19 Unless Plymouth is moved to the initramfs. 16:18:50 so basically this is only really bad when you have xfs / and no separate /boot ? 16:19:04 and it's been around for a while, right? 16:19:19 adamw the dirty fs is always true, how it manifests depends on configuration 16:19:38 but yes in this particular case of the system being unbootable, it's XFS / and /boot is a directory 16:20:38 I started threads on XFS and systemd lists, those are listed in the bug if anyone wants bedtime reading. The term "bag of dicks" does come up... 16:20:56 ah, i always enjoy a good solid technical discussion. 16:21:23 Yes well, systemd blames XFS and XFS blames systemd, what do you expect? 16:21:26 this feels like one of those where it sucks if you get caught in it, but that's not gonna be many people. 16:21:46 Nope. 16:22:09 But you don't have to worry about that. It's really clear that plymouth shouldn't exempt itself from being killed unless it's baked into the initramfs. 16:22:36 The further debate that does not concern us is "what if someone else this?" who should prevent bad things from happening, XFS vs systemd 16:23:21 I suggest punting until we hear from plymouth folks. 16:23:31 The bug contains the offending committ. 16:23:54 And yes it's really obscure. 16:24:00 i'm quite inclined to -1 on the basis of very limited impact and pre-existence. 16:25:20 I'm fine with punting on this one 16:25:46 but leaning -1 for the same reasons adam said 16:26:38 anyone else? 16:28:06 I still say punt. But baring that I'm +1 because this is a supported layout and offline updates never work in that layout. 16:28:49 I think it's a bad idea to leave the file system dirty. 16:29:00 I'd lean to +1 unless heavily argumented against by the devs 16:29:08 Doesn't matter if it's not manifesting with boot failure. 16:29:10 so that's 2 punt 16:30:32 punt is fine by me 16:31:32 proposed #agreed - Punt - RHBZ#1227736 - We're going to defer deciding blocker status on this until we can gather more information. 16:31:34 +1 punt 16:32:05 acks? 16:32:06 sure, fine 16:32:08 maybe needinfo plymouth folks? 16:32:10 ackackack 16:32:54 #agreed - Punt - RHBZ#1227736 - We're going to defer deciding blocker status on this until we can gather more information. 16:33:10 onto the Final proposals 16:33:11 #topic (1439282) Tabs crash on loading large sites. 16:33:12 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1439282 16:33:12 #info Proposed Blocker, firefox, NEW 16:34:28 seems +1 16:34:29 I haven't hit this bug. 16:34:30 eh 16:34:30 yeah 16:34:38 What is the criteria it violates? 16:34:43 i've seen it crash once or twice lately, i guess, but not enough that i felt like 'whoah, block the release!' 16:34:45 basic functionality test 16:34:46 Ah, I see it. 16:34:59 Default application functionality 16:35:15 Yeah +1. 16:35:27 I haven't seen it on my F25 machines... 16:35:34 but I don't do the facebag and all that 16:35:36 though i use ublock and umatrix, which might make giant piles of shitty third-party javascript less likely to cause trouble. 16:35:41 so, I guess I wouldn't see it? 16:35:45 i just opened twitter.com and it didn't crash. 16:35:46 I haven't seen it on either F25 or F26. I've been using F26 exclusively for two weeks. 16:35:52 or it could be my noscript keeping it sane 16:36:01 i'd be inclined to punt and ask people on lists how they're findingi t 16:36:08 adamw: good point, i'm using ublock and privacy badger 16:36:08 roshi: pshaw, noscript is *so* 2013 16:36:15 roshi: get umatrix, man 16:36:27 * roshi is a grumpy old man that doesn't like change 16:36:51 shitty javascript is change; revert to sanity by blocking 16:37:10 I'm okay with a punt to acquire more data. 16:37:10 I'm fine with punt to see if more people see it 16:37:49 But hey it's a good tip off this bug might be javascript related...or admalware 16:38:08 proposed #agreed - Punt - RHBZ#1439282 - We're going to defer making a blocker decision on this for further testing, because no one in the blocker review meeting has seen this behaviour. 16:38:18 ack 16:38:29 acksing 16:38:39 #agreed - Punt - RHBZ#1439282 - We're going to defer making a blocker decision on this for further testing, because no one in the blocker review meeting has seen this behaviour. 16:38:47 #topic (1438026) GNOME crashes several times a day due to bug in driver 16:38:50 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1438026 16:38:53 #info Proposed Blocker, kernel, NEW 16:39:45 -1 or punt and see if more people run into it still 16:40:01 Agreed, -1 or punt for more info. 16:40:05 I think this is similar to a bug I was hitting on the mac, with i915 enabled, the gpu would hang and then gnome-shell would crash 16:40:23 But that hasn't happened since post alpha updates. 16:40:26 -1 16:40:37 seems fixed 16:40:41 i think so 16:40:47 -1 16:40:56 yeah -1, clear it off the board and renominate if it comes back 16:41:02 sure 16:41:12 we'd need a much clearer indication of affected hardware to really consider it 16:41:15 but if it got fixed anyhow... 16:42:02 proposed #agreed - RejectedBlocker - RHBZ#1438026 - This bug seems to already be fixed and it was unclear who all this might affect. Please repropose if it resurfaces. 16:42:29 ack 16:42:33 ack 16:42:40 ack 16:42:43 ack 16:42:46 #agreed - RejectedBlocker - RHBZ#1438026 - This bug seems to already be fixed and it was unclear who all this might affect.
