I thought the purpose of biosboot is to have enough space for MBR 16:13:45 no 16:13:45 kparal: no, cmurf is right 16:13:52 ack 16:13:53 bios boot partition is needed when doing a BIOS install to a GPT-labelled disk 16:14:09 because with GPT there is no space between the disk label and the first partition for the bootloader to use 16:14:19 BIOS Boot is the GPT equivalent of the MBR gap which is the space between the first sector of the drive and the first sector for the first partition 16:14:24 alright 16:14:33 both are typically 1MiB by default 16:14:44 ack 16:14:44 okay, adding this to today I learned for me 16:14:45 the same bug occurs regardless of GPT/MBR disk table 16:14:53 so BIOS boot partition is necessary if you're installing to a pre-existing GPT labelled disk and not fully reformatting it, or installing to a 2TB+ disk 16:14:56 ok 16:15:00 (because we have to use GPT labelling for 2TB+ disks) 16:15:09 it also occurs for any partition filesystem, just with biosboot I thought it's easy to demonstrate a big impact 16:15:17 but as kparal says, this is actually a blocker bug even ignoring the BIOS boot wrinkle 16:15:29 soooo, ack 16:15:30 so the bug might be allowing BIOS Boot to be created for MBR disks without a discreet error but I leave error handling up to Anaconda 16:15:41 it's *worse* for the BIOS boot partition case as it means the system doesn't boot, but even just considering the criterion for a 'regular' install, you should be able to put partitions in that space but you can't. 16:15:53 right 16:16:27 I just expected some fudging in that case, that's why I highlighted biosboot :) 16:16:33 a cunning plan 16:16:43 i see three acks, so let's proceed 16:16:46 that's experience talking 16:16:51 ack 16:16:57 proposed #agreed 1755813 - AcceptedBlocker (Final) - this is accepted as a violation of "The installer must be able to create and install to any workable partition layout using any file system and/or container format combination offered in a default installer configuration" for installs done via 'advanced custom' partitioning 16:17:12 #topic (1751103) [abrt] dnf: configure_upgrade(): system_upgrade.py:410:configure_upgrade:TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable 16:17:12 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1751103 16:17:12 #info Proposed Blocker, dnf, ON_QA 16:17:17 adamw 16:17:24 you have proposed there 16:17:24 doh 16:17:25 thanks 16:17:27 #undo 16:17:27 Removing item from minutes: INFO by adamw at 16:17:12 : Proposed Blocker, dnf, ON_QA 16:17:30 #undo 16:17:30 Removing item from minutes: 16:17:32 #undo 16:17:32 Removing item from minutes: 16:17:40 #agreed 1755813 - AcceptedBlocker (Final) - this is accepted as a violation of "The installer must be able to create and install to any workable partition layout using any file system and/or container format combination offered in a default installer configuration" for installs done via 'advanced custom' partitioning 16:17:48 #topic (1751103) [abrt] dnf: configure_upgrade(): system_upgrade.py:410:configure_upgrade:TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable 16:17:49 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1751103 16:17:49 #info Proposed Blocker, dnf, ON_QA 16:17:52 there we go! 16:18:31 I didn't have time to look into the reposiotry files, but that shouldn't be blocker if user has to have some 3rd party repos 16:18:33 so, the fix seems to target some invalid dnf upgrade steps, but it's unknown if it fixes the problem in gnome-software 16:18:43 or did I miss anything? 16:18:47 and I still don't know how people managed to trigger it with gnome-software 16:18:49 this seems...slightly vague 16:19:04 what is "the problem in gnome software"? 16:19:32 oh, 1746346 ? 16:20:02 adamw: no, talking about https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1751103#c17 16:20:23 it says this exact traceback was somehow trigger from gnome-software 16:20:45 but Pavla mentions only invalid dnf system-upgrade invocation in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1751103#c20 16:20:48 actually 16:21:02 -1 blocker as it doesn't affect the default repos 16:21:12 we have this same traceback in three bugs now 16:21:21 bcotton: we don't actually know to which repos it is related 16:21:33 1751103, 1749868 and 1746346 16:21:43 but, all the reporters had some third party non default repos? 16:21:54 no, i don't think so 16:22:12 hmm, comment 0 shows a copr error where this traceback occurred. I didn't notice that before 16:22:30 our default repos don't disable gpgcheck 16:22:51 this isn't about what the state of gpgcheck is in some specific repo 16:23:08 it's actually about dnf reading in a state file and not finding a value at all 16:23:23 at which point it sets the variable to None, but later code expects it to be an iterable 16:23:33 i explained it in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1749868#c22 16:23:41 ooh, interesting 16:24:08 so how does gnome-software come into the picture? 16:24:54 i'm not sure, but it seems to be involved *somehow* 16:24:58 but regardless of the mechanics, has this been observed with *only* our default repos? i can't tell 16:25:03 wait, isn't there another bug about this somewhere... 16:25:10 that can be a coincidence 16:25:23 bcotton: one way to produce it is simply to run 'dnf system-upgrade reboot' *without* doing a 'dnf system-upgrade download' first 16:25:31 it doesn't matter what repos you have if you do that 16:25:54 which is not a supported process, is it? 16:25:58 somehow I missed all the updates from bug 1749868. sigh. 16:26:27 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1756105 has more on the gnome-software interaction 16:26:43 specifically https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1756105#c5 16:27:12 I guess we can agree we need the fix stable. Then we'll see if people can still hit all those issues 16:27:52 it seems like it can happen just from trying to do a regular GNOME Software update...so on that basis i'd be +1 blocker 16:28:13 okay, +1 16:28:27 +1 16:28:29 I'll try to trigger the issue / confirm the fix 16:28:31 +1 blocker. i'm not fully convinced but it there's a potential fix in testing already, so.... 16:28:48 wait, which bug are we now voting on? 16:28:53 because 1756105 seems most critical 16:29:01 or are we merging all together? 16:29:28 ah, it's already a dupe 16:29:56 alright, in that case +1 16:30:05 +1 16:30:14 +1 blocker 16:31:25 +1 16:32:00 proposed #agreed 1751103 - AcceptedBlocker (Final) - as reported in one of the dupes (1756105) it seems this can be triggered simply by running a normal GNOME update, causing the update to fail silently, so this is accepted as a violation of "The installed system must be able appropriately to install, remove, and update software with the default tool for the relevant software type in all release-blocking desktops (e.g. default graphical package 16:32:00 manager).

16:35:59 no 16:36:04 yeah, i would, could be nasty 16:36:11 I'd go with -1 then 16:36:17 i guess it's a bit like installing F30 Workstation, turning on some non-default feature, upgrading, and GNOME stops working entirely 16:36:24 but if you don't turn on that non-default feature the upgrade is fine 16:36:32 it's a bit different from *only* the non-default feature breaking, i guess 16:36:52 -1 blocker, +1 FE. i'm hesitant to give blocker status for non-default configurations because slippery slope, etc 16:37:06 -1 B / +1 FE & CommongBugs 16:37:11 CommonBugs 16:37:19 -1 blocker, +1 FE 16:37:44 but it seems to me like switching on some distant filesystem support and then being ferked up 16:38:24 non-default but plausible 16:38:52 but with my +1 i Stand alone 16:38:59 proposed #agreed 1757089 - RejectedBlocker (Final), AcceptedFreezeException (Final) - this is rejected as a blocker as it breaks only if a non-default feature not in the criteria (AD trust) is enabled, but accepted as a freeze exception to help minimize the number of affected upgrades 16:39:10 ack 16:39:16 ack 16:39:26 ack 16:39:30 #agreed 1757089 - RejectedBlocker (Final), AcceptedFreezeException (Final) - this is rejected as a blocker as it breaks only if a non-default feature not in the criteria (AD trust) is enabled, but accepted as a freeze exception to help minimize the number of affected upgrades 16:39:40 #topic (1754630) Automatic workspaces are seriously broken 16:39:40 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1754630 16:39:40 #info Proposed Blocker, gnome-shell, NEW 16:39:58 +1 16:40:48 yeah...probably +1 16:41:00 i'm generally inclined to +1 any vaguely reproducible shell crasher, on the 'data loss' principle 16:41:27 +1 16:41:58 (if we had xorg by default, data loss wouldn't apply to most of the shell crashers, but that's for another discussion) 16:42:00 I'm concerned here about the crash than the workspaces/apps behaving wrongly 16:42:17 *more about 16:42:41 we don't have a traceback yet, though 16:42:55 and it's hard to trigger it, at least for me 16:43:02 there seems to be one kparal 16:43:02 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1754630#c12 16:43:12 but i didn't check the contents... 16:43:23 oh great 16:44:18 +1 blocker 16:44:35 and we have a winner 16:44:47 proposed #agreed 1754630 - AcceptedBlocker (Final) - this is accepted with reference to both "All elements of the default panel (or equivalent) configuration in all release-blocking desktops must function correctly in typical use" and "All known bugs that can cause corruption of user data must be fixed or documented at Common F31 bugs" (as any Shell crash on Wayland can cause data loss/corruption) 16:44:59 ack 16:45:00 ack 16:45:00 +1/ack 16:45:06 ack 16:45:16 (just for general information, there was some issue with getting backtraces from gnome-shell/mutter, but was fixed recently https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-94130905d5 ) 16:45:19 ack 16:46:41 #agreed 1754630 - AcceptedBlocker (Final) - this is accepted with reference to both "All elements of the default panel (or equivalent) configuration in all release-blocking desktops must function correctly in typical use" and "All known bugs that can cause corruption of user data must be fixed or documented at Common F31 bugs" (as any Shell crash on Wayland can cause data loss/corruption) 16:46:47 #topic (1755898) numlock handling is seriously broken 16:46:48 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1755898 16:46:48 #info Proposed Blocker, gnome-shell, NEW 16:47:05 -1 as only dummies use the numpad :P 16:47:30 :D 16:47:50 i'm a bit on the fence here really 16:47:53 yeah, I am not sure about this one, probably weak -1 16:48:15 I'm not sure either, that's why I proposed it 16:48:16 because, workaround is pretty simple... turn off your numlock and it's gonna work 16:48:17 not serious but annoying +1 16:48:23 frantisekz: not really 16:48:27 definitely commonbugs and +1 FE 16:48:36 e.g. with VMs you can't just simply make things work 16:48:39 there's an actual workaround posted in one of the upstream bugs 16:48:47 (dunno if itworks for kparal) 16:48:56 adamw: where is it?

I feel like +1 here 17:47:01 so...let's summarize 17:47:08 we can imagine a new 'clipboard must work' criterion 17:47:21 or we can consider this as a conditional violation of 'data loss' or 'default app functionality' criteria 17:47:27 i feel very 0-y either way, tbh 17:47:28 I guess I'll abstain the vote, because my judgment is clearly affected here. I hate this bug with passion :) 17:47:39 mainly because of the 'has to be on X11 with a VM running' bit 17:47:49 that makes it more susceptible to being documented and fixed with an update in my eyes 17:47:57 oh, I've missed "has to be on X11 with a VM running" bit 17:48:02 oh yeah, i can see that it's very annoying if it hits your workflow right in the yes 17:48:10 eyes* 17:48:44 0 blocker, +1 FE 17:48:50 0 blocker, +1 FE 17:49:43 it might be a stockholm syndrome talking, but if you make it just a commonbug and -1 blocker, I won't be too mad at you.
