Who's ready for some blocker review fun? 16:04:02 * nirik is lurking around. 16:04:13 * Viking-Ice follows the peanut trail to the blocker bug meeting 16:04:27 gah, looking at the current blocker tracking app is bad when I'm used to the devel version 16:04:51 I feel like alpha blocker bugs meetings where just yesterday 16:05:00 * Martix is here and testing radeon 16:05:06 oh, it's here? 16:05:14 * Cerlyn is here 16:05:21 * kparal was watching #fedora-bugzappers 16:05:25 yup 16:05:26 Viking-Ice: ah, the innocent past 16:05:51 actually the emails says #fedora-bugzappers 16:05:54 tflink: you did you advertised in e-mail #fedora-bugzappers? 16:05:54 *email 16:05:58 I'm lurking, waiting for a phone call to begin. 16:06:13 Martix: yeah, I screwed up on that one. didn't realize it until just a little while ago 16:06:28 * jreznik is ready... 16:07:01 the devel version of the blocker tracking app is up at http://supermegawaffle.com/blockerbugs-devel/ if anyone's interested in poking at it 16:07:33 Viking-Ice: I see the list of blocker bugs that grew over time and alpha seems to be like ages ago :) 16:08:32 ok, I think we have enough people to get this party started 16:08:32 tflink: what's the font used? 16:08:45 jreznik: comfortaa and cantarell 16:08:51 for the devel version 16:08:52 jreznik: skynet analyzes your brainwaves and picks the font you find most comforting 16:09:01 it's all part of its plan to lull you into a false sense of security 16:09:43 there's an icon font, too for the star (shows up as a 14 if js and/or web fonts aren't enabled) 16:09:47 adamw: the font I find the most dis-comforting :) but probably it's ok if it's default gnome one - some sort of masochism is not a bad idea during blocker bugs review :D 16:09:52 tflink: looks great. I want it pushed to production! remember our motto :) 16:10:07 'we don't know what the hell we're doing'? 16:10:11 oh, you meant our OTHER motto 16:10:18 kparal: no production without a working admin interface, unfortunately 16:10:37 so the blocker tracking app has blocker bugs itself 16:10:38 anywho ... 16:10:55 block the blocker! 16:11:05 jreznik: we need to go deeper! 16:11:11 Cerlyn: the process isn't exactly straightforward, to be honest - especially now that it's tracking updates 16:11:13 blue pill! BLUE PILL! 16:11:18 hm question if I clock out now and run home be back in twenty minutes instead of being stuck here at work for the next 3 hours 16:11:32 Viking-Ice: we'll probably be making bad jokes for the next 20 minutes anyhow, i say go for it :P 16:11:41 adamw, you are at that age /me runs home 16:11:56 it looks to be a long meeting, anyways :-/ 16:12:06 #topic Introduction 16:12:13 Viking-Ice: that's my problem too - I have meetings for another few hours... so 11 pm seems like a good time to go home from the office :D 16:12:17 Why are we here? 16:12:17 #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. 16:12:29 #info We'll be following the process outlined at: 16:12:29 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting 16:12:38 #info The bugs up for review today are available at: 16:12:38 #link http://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/current 16:12:48 #info The criteria for release blocking bugs can be found at: 16:12:48 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_18_Alpha_Release_Criteria 16:12:48 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_18_Beta_Release_Criteria 16:12:48 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_18_Final_Release_Criteria 16:13:06 Since there are several release criteria still up for revision, I have a proposal to make 16:13:44 let's not follow criteria? 16:13:45 proposed #agreed - Ignore all proposed blockers which would hit a criterion currently proposed for revision 16:14:12 so any blockers that are upgrade or partitioning related would be left alone for now until we get the criteria finalized 16:14:14 let's just skip them and evaluate them next week, right 16:14:39 since the whole point of this is to get the list down to a more managable number 16:14:46 I'd say not ignore but use it as an another input to release criteria discussion? but whatever makes this meeting shorter, I'm +1 :) 16:15:12 ack 16:15:48 proposed #agreed - Leave all proposed blockers which would hit a criterion currently proposed for revision for a later review meeting 16:15:55 less strong than ignore 16:16:06 but since there were no strong naks to the last wording 16:16:12 ack to the new proposal 16:16:13 #agreed - Leave all proposed blockers which would hit a criterion currently proposed for revision for a later review meeting 16:16:39 these numbers will be a bit off since we're skipping some, but ... 16:16:41 #info 32 Proposed Blocker 16:16:42 #info 0 Accepted Blocker 16:16:42 #info 6 Proposed NTH 16:16:42 #info 0 Accepted NTH 16:16:59 unless there are objections, we'll start with the proposed blockers 16:17:06 before I forget ... 16:17:11 #chair adamw kparal 16:17:11 Current chairs: adamw kparal tflink 16:17:58 #topic (824191) nfsiso install hangs during reboot 16:17:58 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=824191 16:17:58 #info Proposed Blocker, NEW 16:19:22 I think this can't be tested yet 16:19:31 because nfsiso installation doesn't work yet 16:19:36 so we can't verify 16:20:26 is nfsiso expected for beta? 16:20:56 see criteria #5 and #6 16:21:13 I would say yes, but only NFS is explicitedly stated 16:21:20 *explicitly 16:21:28 let me rephrase - is anaconda going to have code for this in beta? 16:21:39 ah, a different question 16:21:44 eh, we'll deal with that potential issue later 16:22:29 I asked wwoods about nfsiso support in some bug, because current anaconda documentation doesn't talk about it at all. he didn't reply 16:22:56 i don't see any anaconda folks present for this meeting 16:22:59 so looks kinda punt-y 16:23:06 I thought pjones joined 16:23:39 oh, yes. pjones, any idea? 16:23:55 let's ask on #anaconda, maybe someone replies later there... 16:24:30 nfsiso should be supported. 16:24:52 there were other bugs in the way at the time which made testing that difficult. 16:25:07 wwoods: 'should be supported'...now (18.8)? by beta time? 16:25:27 proposed #agreed - 824191 - AcceptedBlocker - Accepted as a blocker for F18 beta due to violation of the following criterion: "The installer must be able to use the HTTP, FTP and NFS remote package source options" 16:25:48 * jreznik is waiting for wwoods answer... before acking 16:27:14 * pjones reads back 16:27:40 yeah, no idea. kinda not what I'm working on ATM 16:29:12 well that's the question if we should block bugs for beta on this if we are not sure it's in criteria and it will be in beta... 16:29:33 well it is in current criteria 16:29:46 and this criterion isn't currently proposed for revision 16:29:47 we've read 'nfs' as including 'nfsiso' up till now, yeah. 16:29:55 i guess ack is fine for now 16:30:25 let's ack and I'll try to verify, provided nfsiso is already supported in anaconda 16:30:38 I see 2 acks ... any more? 16:31:21 ok, ack 16:31:31 #agreed - 824191 - AcceptedBlocker - Accepted as a blocker for F18 beta due to violation of the following criterion: "The installer must be able to use the HTTP, FTP and NFS remote package source options" 16:31:43 #topic (847831) kickstart boot fails 16:31:43 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=847831 16:31:44 #info Proposed Blocker, ASSIGNED 16:32:00 pretty clear blocker to me 16:32:59 proposed #agreed 847831 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the following F18 beta release criterion: "The installer must be able to use all kickstart delivery methods" 16:33:13 we didn't drop support for nfsiso. do note that "nfsiso:..." is just an obsolete synonym for "nfs:..." 16:33:13 ack 16:33:13 ack 16:33:52 er 16:33:54 nack 16:33:58 you have to read all the way through 16:34:02 adamw: patch? 16:34:16 by comment #19 it's looking like an issue with a specific line in a specific kickstart, not a general 'kickstarts don't work' 16:34:22 you mean that it has to do with the %pre that's being used in this case? 16:34:29 see comment #17 16:34:29 but no one tested that with a different kickstart 16:34:32 so we don't know 16:35:01 if it's all %include, I would say that it still hits 16:35:18 but I'd be OK with punting 16:35:44 ...So I imagine it may work for many kickstarts, just not the one I use... <- do we want to be specific on which ks should work or not? it should work for correct ones... 16:36:01 jlk: do you have a specific read on this one? 16:36:01 I think the correct criterion for this one is: The installer must be able to successfully complete a scripted installation, using the installer's preferred scripting system, which duplicates the default interactive installation as closely as possible 16:36:09 right 16:36:15 kparal: good point 16:36:38 maybe we should mention 'kickstart' word there and not be too much generic 16:36:42 but that's off-topic 16:36:51 the 'kickstart delivery methods should work' criterion is more about being able to initiate a kickstart install; a case where the kickstart file was accepted but processing it failed doesn't hit that criterion 16:36:55 proposed #agreed 847831 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the following F18 beta release criterion: "The installer must be able to successfully complete a scripted installation, using the installer's preferred scripting system, which duplicates the default interactive installation as closely as possible" 16:37:01 still nack 16:37:20 then this criterion kparal just cited is about a kickstart install being able to complete, but it's a very limited one 16:37:20 adamw: -1 blocker or nak on the proposal? 16:37:45 let's punt and wait until we see whether some other kickstart works 16:37:52 let's give action item to someone! 16:37:53 the gloss on this one is that it means 'you should be able to do a default install and then re-run it using the generated /root/anaconda-ks.cfg' 16:38:00 and _only_ that 16:38:09 it's a fairly limited criterion, not an open-ended one 16:38:27 that is the intended meaning? 16:38:31 yeah 16:38:32 I didn't read it like that 16:38:40 i really need to draft better, i guess =) 16:38:59 so we never block if some kickstart features don't work? 16:39:09 now I know why the last sentence is there 16:39:12 kparal: the thread is 'Release criteria: kickstart' from august 2011 16:40:05 * kparal has the same question as tflink 16:40:14 so if you read through the thread 16:40:21 there were lots of suggestions but no clear consensus 16:40:45 so in a mail on 2011-08-30 i proposed this minimalist criterion just to get *something* done, and explicitly glossed it as described above 16:40:59 "i.e. if you take /root/anaconda-ks.cfg from a 16:40:59 click-through install and pass it to anaconda, it should successfully 16:40:59 install. (Maybe with the small wrinkle that you uncomment the 16:40:59 partitioning stuff, so it becomes a true unattended kickstart)" 16:41:18 final paragraph was "We can then elaborate the criteria from there based on 'case law', i.e., 16:41:18 we can evaluate actual kickstart bugs as they're proposed as blockers 16:41:18 and propose criteria based on the results of those discussions. How does 16:41:18 that sound?" 16:41:34 either way, punt on this? 16:41:50 %include being broken and ks not working at all are different bugs, either way 16:41:50 i think so, because we don't know specifically enough what's wrong 16:42:02 it would be a candidate for the 'case law' thing, but only once we know exactly what the issue is 16:42:14 then we could debate whether we consider that particular form of breakage something criterion-worthy 16:42:30 proposed #agreed 847831 - There isn't enough information on what exactly is going wrong here to make a decision on blocker/NTH - will revisit after more testing 16:42:41 ack 16:42:47 ack 16:42:49 and i'll put the gloss and stuff in the bug note 16:43:09 i should really write that 'annotated guide to the release criteria', it seems =) 16:43:24 illustrated! 16:43:46 ack 16:43:46 as a comic book 16:43:49 adamw: if you're going to do that soon, please tell me. I was going to write some wiki scraping code in the near future 16:43:52 #agreed 847831 - There isn't enough information on what exactly is going wrong here to make a decision on blocker/NTH - will revisit after more testing 16:44:03 wow, 2 bugs in 45 minutes - this is going to be a LONG meeting 16:44:11 #topic (841451) polkitd doesn't start in F18/rawhide upgraded from F17 using yum due to failure to create polkitd user/group 16:44:14 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=841451 16:44:17 #info Proposed Blocker, NEW 16:44:43 this is a potential upgrade issue as I'm reading it 16:44:54 I propose we leave it alone for now 16:45:47 any objections? 16:46:11 no 16:46:35 proposed #agreed 841451 - This is a potential upgrade issue and as the upgrade criterion is currently up for revision, not evaluating more today 16:46:49 ack 16:48:01 ack 16:48:11 #agreed 841451 - This is a potential upgrade issue and as the upgrade criterion is currently up for revision, not evaluating more today 16:48:22 #topic (847472) DM configuration migration on upgrade not working 16:48:22 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=847472 16:48:22 #info Proposed Blocker, MODIFIED 16:48:39 actually, we should probably un-propose 841451, but eh. 16:49:00 proposed #agreed 847472 - This is a potential upgrade issue and as the upgrade criterion is currently up for revision, not evaluating more today 16:49:09 ack 16:49:10 ack 16:49:16 #agreed 847472 - This is a potential upgrade issue and as the upgrade criterion is currently up for revision, not evaluating more today 16:49:25 #topic (853961) power-off/reboot results in log out after a long timeout 16:49:25 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=853961 16:49:25 #info Proposed Blocker, NEW 16:49:50 pretty clear blocker to me 16:50:20 proposed #agreed 853961 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the following F18 beta release criterion: "All release-blocking desktops' offered mechanisms (if any) for shutting down, logging out and rebooting must work" 16:50:25 ack/nak/patch? 16:50:28 I have to admin I haven't seen it in a while 16:50:30 it's probably fixed 16:50:32 well...yeah 16:50:36 but that doesn't really matter 16:50:39 we can still accept it 16:50:44 there's also the question is anyone but kparal seeing it 16:50:59 if only kparal saw it, not an auto-blocker... 16:51:01 * tflink just got started testing F18 on real HW 16:51:18 i've been on f18 for a while and didn't see this 16:51:38 let's skip and give me an action item to re-test then 16:51:48 I'm 80% sure it's gone now 16:51:53 #action kparal to re-test 853961 16:52:45 proposed #agreed 853961 - Not enough people reported seeing this to accept it as a blocker right now, more testing is needed 16:52:53 ack 16:52:55 ack 16:53:10 for the record I have not seen this one either 16:53:36 Viking-Ice: welcome back, you missed about two bugs :) 16:53:46 ack 16:53:49 #agreed 853961 - Not enough people reported seeing this to accept it as a blocker right now, more testing is needed 16:54:01 #topic (853964) gdm freezes after authentication failure 16:54:01 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=853964 16:54:01 #info Proposed Blocker, NEW 16:54:16 sounds like this was reported by multiple people but it should be fixed 16:54:24 accept or punt and hope it goes away? 16:54:48 accept 16:55:16 definitely 16:55:24 yep, I saw it too, ack 16:55:36 I have not experienced this one either but it's an ack from me 16:56:02 yeah, +1 blocker 16:56:07 * jreznik is going to be disconnected for a few minutes... 16:56:27 wrong criterion, though 16:56:46 which criterion? It doesn't completely hit the one kparal specified since gdm does work as long as you enter OK credentials 16:57:05 "No part of any release-blocking desktop's panel (or equivalent) configuration should crash or be entirely non-functional on boot of the installed system using default installation choices"? 16:57:14 which isn't quite right, either 16:57:25 the one kparal specified is about 'non-graphical installs', more to the point. 16:57:53 alpha, then? 16:57:58 "Following on from the previous criterion, after firstboot is completed and on subsequent boots, a system installed according to any of the above criteria (or the appropriate Beta or Final criteria, when applying this criterion to those releases) must boot to a working graphical environment without unintended user intervention. This includes correctly accessing any encrypted partitions when the correct passphrase is supplied" 16:58:19 we don't have a perfect criterion, but we all agree it's a blocker, let's just ack it 16:58:22 yeah, that's possibly the closest 16:58:24 gah, that's not the one that I was looking for 16:58:38 eh, works for me 16:58:55 it's a violation of the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_desktop_login testcase, which is marked as Beta 16:59:04 though it kind of indicates we need better criteria to match that test case 16:59:27 proposed #agreed 853964 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the following F18 alpha release criterion: " 16:59:35 #action adamw to propose Alpha and Beta criteria for login manager behaviour (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_desktop_login) 16:59:37 * tflink hit enter by accident 16:59:47 hmm actually I think anyone that hit this with or during alpha will need to retest all bugs with beta or fully updated alpha and confirm if it's still an issue 17:00:22 Viking-Ice: we're expecting it's fixed already, but that doesn't mean it's not a blocker, just that it's a blocker that will soon be closed :) 17:01:05 proposed #agreed 853964 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the following F18 alpha release criterion: "Following on from the previous criterion, after firstboot is completed and on subsequent boots, a system installed according to any of the above criteria must boot to a working graphical environment without unintended user intervention." 17:01:14 close enough. 17:01:15 ack 17:01:17 ack 17:01:20 ack 17:01:23 #agreed 853964 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the following F18 alpha release criterion: "Following on from the previous criterion, after firstboot is completed and on subsequent boots, a system installed according to any of the above criteria must boot to a working graphical environment without unintended user intervention." 17:01:38 #topic (853877) anaconda ignores language / keyboard settings 17:01:38 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=853877 17:01:38 #info Proposed Blocker, NEW 17:02:24 ah the classic ack from me 17:03:05 is this beta or final? 17:03:19 beta I believe 17:03:38 I don't see any i18n criteria 17:03:40 i'm trying to remember what criterion we usually use for this 17:03:48 the only thing I see is final 17:03:49 adamw, none 17:03:57 we voted upon it 17:03:58 "All critical path actions on release-blocking desktop environments should correctly display all sufficiently complete translations available for use" 17:04:39 that's Final 17:04:44 don't we normally consider the case of username/password? 17:04:58 if the keyboard layout used in the installer and in the installed system don't match, you could be unable to login or it could be difficult 17:05:02 yeah, that sounds right 17:05:18 so it's a conditional breakage of that criterion, in the case of 'using a non-US keyboard map' 17:05:38 which would have made it alpha, actually 17:05:45 probably encrypted partitions + passwords as well 17:06:07 right, encrypted partitions and root passwords, i think is what we're considering... 17:06:22 so basically, "Following on from the previous criterion, after firstboot is completed and on subsequent boots, a system installed according to any of the above criteria (or the appropriate Beta or Final criteria, when applying this criterion to those releases) must boot to a working graphical environment without unintended user intervention. This includes correctly accessing any encrypted partitions when the correct passphrase is supplied " 17:06:49 proposed #agreed 853877 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the following F18 alpha criterion for non-US keyboards: "Following on from the previous criterion, after firstboot is completed and on subsequent boots, a system installed according to any of the above criteria must boot to a working graphical environment without unintended user intervention. This includes correctly accessing any encrypted partitions when the correct passphrase is supplied" 17:07:05 is that too long? 17:07:17 nope 17:07:25 ack 17:07:31 ack 17:07:32 maybe we should really have an explicit criterion for this, i dunno 17:07:32 ack 17:07:39 the amount of criteria judo seems excessive 17:07:41 anyhoo, ack 17:07:50 criteria twister! 17:07:53 #agreed 853877 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the following F18 alpha criterion for non-US keyboards: "Following on from the previous criterion, after firstboot is completed and on subsequent boots, a system installed according to any of the above criteria must boot to a working graphical environment without unintended user intervention. This includes correctly accessing any encrypted partitions when the correct passphrase is supplied" 17:08:13 yeah, keymaps seem to be important enough to justify a criterion 17:08:24 someday, I'm going to get a non-US keyboard 17:08:31 assuming I ever remember to do so 17:08:35 yup for beta+ not so much for alpha 17:09:10 #topic (855284) hanging gnome session processes cause gdm to think user still has an X session (was: gdm Session selection UI disappearing) 17:09:13 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=855284 17:09:15 #info Proposed Blocker, MODIFIED 17:09:17 * jreznik is Czech but nearly does not use non-english keyboard at all... 17:09:29 i think we had a thread about i18n criteria once and it turned messy 17:09:49 keyboard layout kinda is a must work by beta 17:10:54 this sounds like a dupe of the previous one, no? 17:10:55 Viking-Ice: yep 17:11:12 oh, no 17:11:16 "Actually now I see there is already a report for the password lockup: 17:11:16 bug 853964 so I will change this bug just to cover the Session UI 17:11:16 disappearing." 17:11:41 so this is about GDM's session chooser not showing up. i'm not convinced that's a blocker. 17:11:48 anyone can cite a criterion?

17:25:26 since qxl is now the default, not sure if we really want to block for cirrus 17:25:44 agreed 17:25:53 kparal: not sure but I don't think that VB counts for the virt criterion even though lots of people seem to use it 17:26:08 well the thing is cirrus is a "hardware plattform" 17:26:14 I'd say even a common one 17:26:25 drago01: common one? really? these times? 17:26:26 i don't think vbox uses cirrus, it uses either vesa or its own driver, doesn't it? 17:26:30 cirrus is 'some KVMs' 17:26:44 jreznik: qemu-kvm 17:26:52 real hardware cirruses are dead, we do not care about them. no-one knows if the driver even works on them any more. it exists strictly for VMs. 17:26:56 jreznik: we can't expect people to only run fedora on fedora virt 17:27:06 jreznik: so "qxl is the default" does not change much really 17:27:11 drago01: in kvm, yes... but not as real hw... 17:27:13 virtualbox is not in the criteria 17:27:20 only KVM and Xen 17:27:27 drago01: for us, qxl is the default... 17:27:29 jreznik: that's why I have used quotes around it 17:27:30 so, forget vbox. 17:27:32 can qxl be used for remote VMs, too? 17:27:33 IIRC, the kernel team doesn't always take VB related kernel bugs 17:27:50 jreznik: you missed the point 17:27:56 the only relevant cases here are KVMs that use the cirrus adapter, it's just a case of when we decide enough people are using qxl to not care about cirrus any more 17:28:09 drago01: cirrus has to die, sooner, better (in kvm) 17:28:12 btw, i know what the bug is here, we just need to put the 'modesetting' driver in the anaconda environment instead of the 'cirrus' driver. 17:28:25 i.e. when you connect to a remote libvirtd with a local virt-manager 17:28:36 jreznik: it will over time 17:28:36 adamw: is it still missing? I thought it was already imported... 17:28:42 xorg-x11-drv-cirrus is no longer supposed to be used, the new design is the 'cirrus' kernel module (which does basic KMS) plus the xorg-x11-drv-modesetting X driver. 17:29:04 jreznik: I think we've fixed it for live images and the installed system, but not for the environment of the traditional installer itself 17:29:35 is cirrus the only platform affected? 17:29:47 or does this affect other graphics platforms? 17:29:48 this bug is clearly cirrus-specific. 17:29:51 tflink: if it's what's adamw is talking, then yes 17:30:30 NTH? 17:30:34 well I'm more inclined to NTH, even we probably know simple solution 17:30:40 tflink: you were faster :D 17:30:44 I'm not sure cirrus is enough for beta blocker 17:30:54 * jreznik should learn fast-typing 17:31:04 i think for f17 we took some major cirrus issues as blockers but rejected some minor ones 17:31:14 there's clearly some kind of transition curve between cirrus and qxl... 17:31:15 ack on nth for beta 17:31:36 i don't mind saying we're not blocking on cirrus as of f18, i guess. 17:31:37 adamw: wasn't cirrus still default for F15, though? 17:31:54 i think we've looked into the 'which one is default' question a few times and it's more subtle than it seems 17:31:56 i forget the details though 17:32:17 yeah, there was something about upgrading in there and libvirt/vmm not stomping on pre-existing defaults 17:32:33 oh right 17:32:39 i think it all tracked back to gconf keys and stuff 17:32:42 either way, it sounds like we're OK with -1 blocker, +1 nth 17:32:48 and that if you installed before a certain time, you had cirrus in your gconf and it was never getting out 17:32:58 there's also very simple workaround -> set qxl... 17:33:01 which I thought was fixed 17:33:01 right 17:33:05 or vga, or anything else 17:33:30 vm*are :) 17:33:36 or boot nomodeset 17:33:42 or 'basic graphics mode' 17:33:47 -1 blocker, +1 nth... 17:34:25 proposed #agreed 855083 - RejectedBlocker, AcceptedNTH - This bug only affects cirrus adapters which are no longer the default in Fedora's virt platforms.

Sounds good enough to me then. 19:03:39 now the xorg.conf.d snippet writing bit appears to be broken...but the fact that we added the 'nomodeset' bit, happily, means it still pretty much works, since passing 'nomodeset' forces you to vesa. 19:04:00 tflink: does that make it any clearer? :) 19:04:39 not really but it sounds like rejected blocker is pretty much agreed 19:04:53 * kparal shrugs 19:05:11 can somebody tell me how should I adjust the test case? 19:05:12 Of course, would be nice to have the proper mechanism if it's actually easy imo. 19:05:46 proposed #agreed 858270 - RejectedBlocker - While not behaving in an ideal manner, there is little that is actually broken from a practical perspective.

20:18:42 the chances of whatever our new upgrade system turns out to be hitting this bug are so minuscule as to not bother worrying about. 20:18:45 does network install only cover gui? 20:18:46 then this would be a valid blocker 20:18:55 eh, i guess. 20:19:04 Viking-Ice: oh, you missed the kickstart discussion earlier, right 20:19:07 adamw: how so, wwoods said that the new tool could be based off of preupgrade 20:19:10 Viking-Ice: we only have very minimal criteria for kickstart atm 20:19:17 unless there has been another upgrade discussion I missed 20:19:18 tflink: i guess. 20:19:45 we can consider the simple case of 'i wrote a kickstart with a console keymap id in it', though. 20:19:48 * tflink loves unicorn hunting 20:19:54 if we reckon that's a blocker then this bug is a blocker, regardless of the upgrade case. 20:20:02 * kparal is still for punt, until we know more 20:20:10 we have no idea what the unicorn looks like but we've been told it exists and will appear in time 20:20:24 so to recap from earlier, this doesn't hit our current kickstart criterion, but the idea is that we evaluate kickstart bugs as they come up to see if we want to add them to the criteria 20:20:44 dam I was hoping for a leprechaun with a pot of gold 20:21:33 purely from the kickstart perspective i wouldn't want to add a criterion for 'specifying a console keymap must work' if anaconda is now expecting an X keymap - it'd be nice to translate, but i don't think blocker-worthy. so that would be a vote to punt until we can consider the upgrade case. 20:21:43 let's just put this one on ice for now we can always revisit it later when we know a bit more 20:22:15 sounds like three votes for punt 20:23:06 proposed #agreed 856362 - As the upgrade situation for F18 is still unknown, this may or may not be a blocker-worthy issue.
