Good evening! 16:01:26 .fas lailah 16:01:27 Lailah: lailah 'Sylvia Sánchez' 16:01:28 * coremodule is here! How are you adamw? 16:01:33 * kparal is here 16:01:52 Good evening Lailah, kparal 16:01:56 good thanks 16:02:15 * kparal pokes lbrabec 16:02:20 * jlinton lurking 16:02:21 * Lailah waves at coremodule and adamw 16:02:34 * Lailah waves at everyone else, not to be rude 16:02:56 lots of waving 16:03:00 it's like a shoujo anime in here 16:03:14 LOL 16:04:11 bcotton: ahoy 16:04:16 nirik: ahoy 16:04:21 * pwhalen is here 16:04:57 lruzicka: evening 16:06:48 alrighty then, let's go with who we got 16:06:51 this should be pretty short anyhow! 16:07:00 #chair kparal coremodule 16:07:00 Current chairs: adamw coremodule kparal 16:07:10 boilerplate incoming! 16:07:11 #topic Introduction 16:07:11 Why are we here? 16:07:11 #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. 16:07:11 #info We'll be following the process outlined at: 16:07:13 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting 16:07:14 adamw, I'll secretarialize after the meeting. 16:07:14 #info The bugs up for review today are available at: 16:07:16 #link http://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/current 16:07:18 #info The criteria for release blocking bugs can be found at: 16:07:20 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Basic_Release_Criteria 16:07:22 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_31_Beta_Release_Criteria 16:07:24 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_31_Final_Release_Criteria 16:07:26 coremodule: thanks 16:07:28 #info coremodule will secretarialize 16:07:29 np 16:07:31 in the mean time, lruzicka is trying to log in to irc to be able to say something :) 16:07:43 #info for Beta we have: 16:07:43 #info 3 Proposed Blockers 16:07:44 #info 1 Accepted Blockers 16:07:48 #info 2 Proposed Freeze Exceptions 16:07:51 #info for Final we have: 16:07:57 #info 1 Proposed Blockers 16:08:13 #info let's start with proposed Beta blockers 16:08:20 #topic (1727904) Network configuration based on boot option is not passed to installed system. 16:08:20 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1727904 16:08:20 #info Proposed Blocker, anaconda, NEW 16:08:23 kparal: Oh! Hope Iruzicka succeeds 16:08:34 .hello2 16:08:35 lruzicka: lruzicka 'Lukáš Růžička' 16:08:54 Oh, it's an L ! 16:09:11 lruzicka: we can hear you now 16:09:12 I've been writing your name wrong all this time lruzicka 16:09:29 *mindblown* 16:10:40 xD 16:11:17 Lailah, no problem, I can live with that :D 16:11:32 hmm 16:11:37 so, this is an interesting one i guess 16:12:26 is that the correct criteria for this? 16:12:29 there does seem to be an obvious workaround: duplicate the network device config in the kickstart (for a kickstart install) or in the UI (for a manual install) 16:12:40 nvm, now i see the pxe 16:13:07 coremodule: it's related in the sense that if you're doing an install where the installer itself is retrieved over the network, you have to specify the network config in this way 16:13:23 (if you need anything other than DHCP) 16:13:24 okay, that makes sense 16:13:43 also if you're retrieving a kickstart from the network and you need non-DHCP networking, i guess. 16:14:02 coremodule: it sad an additional one, the bug was already proposed as fe because it was discovered on s390 and we don't block on that, but we block om arm64 server., and recommended method there is netboot 16:14:11 Ar, sad/is 16:14:21 iiuc, its the installed system that doesnt have network configuration? 16:14:29 still, i'd say as the criteria stand this doesn't clearly violate them, it's definitely an annoying regression for some specific cases, though 16:14:31 the install works 16:14:35 pwhalen: yeah. 16:14:48 pwhalen: but of course that can be a problem if the system getting installed is remote. 16:14:59 sure, i get that. I mean, as it stands based off my interpretation I would be +1 blocker 16:15:23 even if the criteria is not explicit in this case about installing over network 16:15:48 the system installs and there is a workaround 16:15:53 my inclination is -1 i think because it only affects cases where DHCP isn't available and we could document the workaround 16:16:01 and previously, if you use kargs, that sets the network after install? 16:16:07 And its prefered just in a blocker deliverable 16:16:11 -1b, +1fe 16:16:31 I have no idea what all this means, so I'm not voting. 16:16:57 pwhalen: yeah, per the bug discussion it did 16:17:02 ok, thanks 16:17:05 +1 blocker 16:17:28 hmm, so it seems we have a stalemate :P 16:17:30 Oh, now I see it... 16:17:44 Give me a sec to read the bug again... 16:17:52 it only occurs when you have to manually set the network config? but not when a dhcp router assigns all that? 16:18:04 *when you manually set the network config 16:18:08 coremodule: yeah. in the DHCP case, we're just, well, using DHCP all the time 16:18:32 I would think +1FE 16:18:38 hmmm.... 16:18:40 if you don't pass 'net.whatever' on the cmdline the initramfs env will just try and bring up the interface using DHCP...and then in the installed system the same thing will happen automatically too 16:19:01 I'm +1fe 16:19:41 gotcha... I could understand most people probably *do* use dhcp so... I could see this as a fringe case 16:20:08 I would say -1 blocker, +1 common bugs, + 16:20:13 +1 fe 16:20:14 I'll amend to +1fe, just don't like regressions 16:20:47 adamw: how many votes we have now? I lost count. 16:20:57 as I read that criteria thats stated, in my mind I do see it as a violation, even though not explicit 16:21:04 it's now pretty clearly -1 blocker +1 fe, that has i think 4 votes, +1 blocker has 1 vote at this time 16:21:27 Okay 16:21:47 coremodule: my take would be that the criterion is *technically* never violated by this bug, because it only talks about the installation process. and even if we read it as "...and the installed system must work as expected" it's only violated in cases where custom network config is required 16:22:30 which - assuming it can be worked around as I suggested - doesn't seem like a big enough case to block on for me 16:23:08 If we document this, anybody will be able to workaround, so I agree with adamw here. 16:24:11 I agree with adamw too 16:24:16 proposed #agreed 1727904 - RejectedBlocker (Beta) AcceptedFreezeException (Beta) - this is a regression from previous releases and will be a problem for some users, but it won't be an issue in most cases as DHCP discovery is most common, and for cases where manual network config is needed, can be worked around by adding kickstart or UI configuration 16:24:29 yeah, I can understand that thought. I'm -1 blocker, +1fe based on the fact that you have to manually futz with the network settings, when most will probably let everything be configured automatically 16:24:47 +1 proposal 16:25:03 ack 16:25:07 ack 16:25:24 ack 16:25:26 ack 16:25:32 #agreed 1727904 - RejectedBlocker (Beta) AcceptedFreezeException (Beta) - this is a regression from previous releases and will be a problem for some users, but it won't be an issue in most cases as DHCP discovery is most common, and for cases where manual network config is needed, can be worked around by adding kickstart or UI configuration 16:25:55 #topic (1744266) Fedora 31 still using Fedora 30 backgrounds 16:25:55 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1744266 16:25:55 #info Proposed Blocker, desktop-backgrounds, NEW 16:26:02 this one's a pretty obvious blocker under the criteria. 16:26:25 +1 blocker 16:26:26 (might even make sense to put it under automatic blockers in future actually) 16:26:26 blocker +1 16:26:39 * jlanda wonder is this could be autoblocker as missing of a blocker deliverable 16:26:40 adamw, yes, that definitely makes sense :) 16:26:50 that makes sense to me! 16:26:52 So adamw can directly tag it as blocker 16:26:56 +1b btw 16:27:13 s/adamw/anyone/ 16:27:22 yeaj :) 16:27:25 * bcotton parachutes in 16:27:29 +1 blocker 16:27:33 +1 blocker 16:27:43 proposed #agreed 1744266 - AcceptedBlocker (Beta) - this is a clear violation of Basic criterion "The default desktop background must be different from that of the last two stable releases." 16:27:46 * jlanda waves 16:27:49 wow, that was a fast parachute 16:27:55 ack 16:27:56 hi jlanda 16:28:05 ack 16:28:07 ack 16:28:08 ack 16:28:10 bcotton, sarge, we're surrounded by blocker bugs! 16:28:13 ack 16:28:16 #agreed 1744266 - AcceptedBlocker (Beta) - this is a clear violation of Basic criterion "The default desktop background must be different from that of the last two stable releases." 16:28:26 #topic (1743005) after upgrade gnome-shell from 3.33.2-1.fc31 to 3.33.3-1.fc31 stop working layout switching in X session 16:28:27 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1743005 16:28:27 #info Proposed Blocker, gnome-shell, NEW 16:28:31 * Lailah waves back to jlanda 16:28:46 * coremodule waves to Lailah, jlanda, and fired adamw 16:28:53 *fires adamw 16:28:57 .fire adamw 16:28:57 adamw fires adamw 16:29:00 wtf 16:29:07 I was waving the parachuter :D 16:29:19 LOL 16:29:23 welp, that's me done 16:29:26 who wants to take over the meeting 16:29:26 :D 16:29:37 ahaha 16:29:54 adamw: How can you fire yourself? 16:30:02 i'm very skilled in the arts of firing 16:30:07 i don't see any criteria that this bug violates. if "very annoying" were a blocker, we would just get rid of computers 16:30:15 +1 get rid of computers 16:30:17 so are only those other combos broken, or doesn't super+space work as well? 16:30:19 I don't see any violation of any criterion here. I' 16:30:21 m -2 16:30:27 grr, -1 blocker 16:30:35 honestly if super+space didn't work, I think that would be a criterion violation 16:30:41 it sounds like super+space works okay 16:30:47 It's a blocker for me. 16:30:51 because it's part of the top bar that's supposed to work 16:31:10 I can quickly test 16:31:25 layout switching is pretty fundamental to typing in some languages 16:31:34 .info kparal to run a quick test on this 16:31:35 and i can see how annoying it would be 16:31:45 super+space works 16:31:52 but yeah, if the stock key combo works, it works in Wayland, and the panel switcher works, it's hard to argue that this is a blocker 16:31:55 +1 FE i'd agree with 16:32:12 kparal: did you test in X11? 16:32:15 +1fe since affects lives 16:32:16 Shouldn't be #info coremodule ? 16:32:26 Lailah, yeah, I don't know what I was thining 16:32:31 cant type this morning either 16:32:37 .fire coremodule 16:32:37 adamw fires coremodule 16:32:41 SON OF A 16:32:46 +1FE, because it might break someone's workflow 16:32:50 also, ctrl+shift can't be set using gnome-control-center, so probably it can be done just through tweak tool 16:32:59 so this is probably a problem in tweak tool 16:33:09 adamw: doh, I tested wayland 16:33:14 give me a minute 16:33:25 .fire kparal for not reading the reproducer properly 16:33:25 adamw fires kparal for not reading the reproducer properly 16:33:39 .fire everyone else just on general principles 16:33:39 adamw fires everyone else just on general principles 16:34:23 works the same in X11 16:34:25 What the heck!!! 16:34:29 adamw! 16:34:32 so -1 blocker from me 16:34:44 kparal: did you try it with tweak tool? 16:34:47 are there two unrelated bugs in this bz or am i just misreading it? numlock switching seems separate from layout switching 16:34:49 just curious to find the bounds of the bug now 16:34:54 bcotton: yeah, i agree 16:34:59 adamw: no, just control center 16:35:06 he seems to have only filed them together because they appeared with the same shell update 16:35:08 I don't think we want to block on tweak tool issues 16:35:13 agreed 16:35:21 Yeah, I agree. 16:35:30 agreed re: tweak tool 16:35:59 kparal: can you repo the numlock switching (without tweak tool)? 16:36:05 repro, too 16:36:25 bcotton: not with a VM, I think 16:37:05 that can be tested on our bare metal machines tomorrow if needed 16:37:36 They should be two separated bugs. One for numlock switching and one for layout switching. 16:37:38 IMO 16:37:40 proposed #agreed 1743005 - RejectedBlocker (Beta) AcceptedFreezeException (Beta) - as described both these issues are annoying but do not violate the criteria. We tested in-meeting that configuring the layout switch key combo via the Control Center works in both Wayland and X11.

That functionality has been present for some releases 16:54:04 proposed #agreed 1745554 - AcceptedBlocker (Beta) - as described this is accepted as a violation of Beta criterion "Shutting down, logging out and rebooting must work using standard console commands and the mechanisms offered (if any) by all release-blocking desktops", as this presents to the user as logout not working correctly 16:54:09 so once you switch to tty1, it starts itself 16:54:16 kparal: oh, right, forgot about that 16:54:23 ack 16:54:25 ack 16:54:28 ack 16:54:35 #agreed 1745554 - AcceptedBlocker (Beta) - as described this is accepted as a violation of Beta criterion "Shutting down, logging out and rebooting must work using standard console commands and the mechanisms offered (if any) by all release-blocking desktops", as this presents to the user as logout not working correctly 16:54:59 ok! let's try again 16:55:03 #topic Open floor (take 2) 16:55:26 kparal, CTRL-ALT-F1 only helps sometimes, some other times the bug sent the system down the drain 16:56:53 Lailah: what did you have for open floor? 16:57:01 Oh! 16:57:14 It's mostly a question about a bug I filed. 16:57:52 It's this one: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1745099 16:58:09 And I'm trying to add another screenshot, but I can't figure out how. 16:58:20 It would some useful information, I think. 16:58:49 I was asked for logs but I can't see how a log can be generated if it never gets to install. 16:58:54 Also, it's not my computer. 16:59:01 So that's it. 16:59:12 you can do ctrl-alt-f2 to get to a console, after the crash happens 16:59:18 and from there you can find the log files in /tmp 16:59:29 if the internet is working at that point you can use fpaste to get them out 16:59:37 otherwise, you can plug in a USB stick, mount it, and copy the files to it 16:59:49 Lailah, just add another attachment to the bug, there is a link for it 16:59:55 Which files? It doesn't install. 17:00:06 Lailah: there will be logs produced by the installer itself, in the installer environment 17:00:10 just look under /tmp and you will see them 17:00:17 one of them will contain the whole crash traceback, for instance 17:00:19 Lailah, anaconda produces log files during the install and they can be seen even if it does not install 17:00:59 Okay, I'll tell the computer's owner to try again and see if there are any logs available. 17:01:26 Anyway, how do I add a screenshot to the bug? I have one but I can't see how to add it. 17:01:38 Lailah, normally your anaconda runs on one console, but more consoles are accessible for debugging and from there you can access logs 17:02:03 Lailah, Find this line: Add an attachment (proposed patch, testcase, etc.) and click on it. 17:02:16 Well, that's the line I can't find. 17:02:31 Are you logged in? Ctrl-F does not find it? 17:02:50 hah. i think i just lost my session to the tty switching bug... 17:02:52 * adamw switched to tty3, cannot get back to tty2 now 17:03:17 Lailah, also, you can send that attachment to me: lruzicka@redhat.com and I will add it for you, if need be. 17:03:19 lruzicka: Yes, I'm logged in, I can see my name in the upper right corner. 17:03:22 * pwhalen has another question for open floor 17:03:42 Lailah, I can see the link. 17:04:11 pwhalen: fire away 17:04:12 it was asked in the network bug we discussed earlier - how can one debug the network connection in dracut's initrd with NM configuring the network when tools like "ip" are not present? 17:04:33 lruzicka: Found it. It's bloody tiny and faint coloured. 17:04:37 But there it is! 17:04:46 adamw, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1727904#c13 17:04:56 Thanks, lruzicka, the Ctrl+F did the job 17:05:05 Well, it didn't but it helped 17:05:19 pwhalen: yeah, i saw that question, but i don't have a good answer! 17:05:21 just wondering what others are doing, I've hit the same problem as Dan. 17:05:23 heh, ok 17:05:25 Lailah, that's great 17:05:29 whatever you can get out of nmcli, i guess? 17:05:46 if adding ip to the initramfs wouldn't be too much weight, maybe we should do that 17:06:24 unless someone has a better answer, perhaps we should 17:06:25 adamw, I believe that it should not do any harm, if one had basic network tools handy in the installed system 17:06:45 lruzicka: the tradeoff with putting things in the initramfs is, they get loaded into RAM 17:06:53 the bigger the initramfs the more RAM you need to install 17:07:10 that's why we don't just throw the kitchen sink in there 17:07:39 adamw, heh, can't get the machine's IP with sink, can you :D 17:07:48 =) 17:08:30 alright, so is that everything? 17:09:03 I don't have anything else from my side. 17:09:13 Not that I remember, at least. 17:09:47 alrighty then 17:09:50 thanks for coming, everyone! 17:09:52 see you next time 17:10:03 thanks for chairing 17:10:07 Thanks y'all!
