Introduction - James Hawkins

[James Hawkins]

Hello everyone,

My name is James. I'm 36 years old and I live in Canada. I've been
using Fedora full time since Fedora 21. I tend to bounce between GNOME
and MATE. I've tried other distros but I always come back to Fedora.
I've wanted to contribute to the Fedora Project for a long time but I
wasn't really sure what I could do and if I had the skills to do it. I
took Computer Systems Technology in College, many moons ago, which had
a focus on computer systems, computer hardware, Linux, Microsoft and
Cisco networking. I worked for about 2 years in I.T. after I
graduated. For the last 12 years I've been working outside of the
industry and my current focus has shifted more towards web design and
development. (I've also reached out to the website team and hope to
contribute there as well.) I have a strong love of open source and
even as a web developer I try to use open source tools to do my job. 

I've done some basic user testing and reported a few bugs on past
Fedora releases. I'm interested in helping out in whatever way I can
to the QA team and learning some new things along they way.

Looking forward to contributing and meeting some of you from the QA
team.

James Hawkins

Hello Everyone,

My name is Kevin Jay. I am 55 and currently live and work in East 
Texas.
I have personal and professional adminstering computer systems since

mid 80's. My interests turned to Linux about 17 years ago and continue
to this day.

I'm looking forward to working with the Fedora Test team. I have been
using Fedora at home as well as  Redhat/Centos at work for a number of
years.

I am a Telecom VOIP engineer and the systems that I work on are all
hosted on a Redhat or Centos server. My primary home PC currently runs
Fedora 27 and my personal email server run Centos 7.

I hope to be a productive member of the team and I'm looking forward 
to

getting started.


Hi there, Kevin, and welcome to the group! Thanks a lot for
volunteering. I can't seem to find an application to join the qa group
from someone who's clearly you, and I can't find your FAS account
(there are a lot of Kevins). Could you apply to join the group and let
us know your FAS ID so I can add you? Thanks!

Did the wiki provide you with useful information on ways to get
started, or could you use more help? Thanks again!


Hi Adam,
My FAS account is is kjay. I just applied to the QA group so you should 
be able to find it now!

I'm Still reading through the Wiki but it has been very helpful so far.

Thanks
Kevin

Re: [Test-Announce] 2018-03-05 @ 16:00 UTC - Fedora QA Meeting

[Silvia Sánchez]

Hi everyone,

I've been talking with other people and apparently is quite common to
have issues with HP laptops.  F25 works but F27 doesn't, with an
extreme case of not booting at all.
In my case I suspect of Wayland, provided other desktops/spins did
work. But maybe I'm wrong or it's not the only one in fault. I can
provide hardware details in the meeting.

Regards,
Silvia

Sadly there is an awful lot of ancient stuff on StackOverflow that is
worse than useless and counter productive for learning, you have to use
it with great care, especially for initial learning. Also of course a
lot of good stuff is so out of date now it is bad stuff.

Programmers tend not to make enough use of asking for and getting
feedback from experts on the code they write, and of reading code and
sharing views on it with experts.

Hi Andrzej, and very sorry for the very late reply - looks like somehow
Sumantro and I both missed your introduction :( So, a belated welcome
to the group - I've sponsored your membership now.

The Test Days are always important and often a good starting point for
beginners; sometimes the subject matter is a bit advanced, but often
it's quite simple and there will be detailed instructions and some
folks around on IRC to help out if you get stuck. Update testing is
also relatively easy and important. The list of potential tasks is
roughly ordered from 'simplest' to 'most difficult / complex', so start
with the ones at the top, basically :)

Thanks and welcome again!

Looks like something going wrong with fwupdate-libs shim dependency. "shim-13-2"
build, https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1051783
seems to be only tagged into f29, I wonder if it needs to be in f28 as
well? CC'ing pjones.

 Problem 1: package fwupdate-libs-10-6.fc28.x86_64 requires shim, but none of 
the providers can be installed
  - cannot install the best update candidate for package 
fwupdate-libs-10-1.fc27.x86_64
  - shim-x64-13-0.7.x86_64 does not belong to a distupgrade repository
 Problem 2: package fwupdate-libs-10-6.fc28.x86_64 requires shim, but none of 
the providers can be installed
  - cannot install both shim-x64-13-0.3.x86_64 and shim-x64-13-0.7.x86_64
  - problem with installed package fwupdate-libs-10-1.fc27.x86_64
  - cannot install the best update candidate for package shim-x64-13-0.7.x86_64
  - fwupdate-libs-10-1.fc27.x86_64 does not belong to a distupgrade repository

Here you can find the output of such command:

There's probably something that has broken dependencies. Can you try
doing 'dnf distro-sync --releasever=28 --best' (and press 'no' when it
asks if you want to continue) and post the output somewhere? It should
say somewhere why it wants to remove all of those packages.

Also, somewhat related, gnome-software-3.26.7-1.fc27 and
gnome-software-3.24.3-4.fc26 builds that are in updates-testing add F28
beta artwork to the distro upgrade banners if you want to try that out.

Testcase upgrade gnome-software current workstation

[Alessio Ciregia]

Hello.
I was following the test case "upgrade gnome-software current
workstation" [1] upgrading F27 to F28 using GNOME Software.
I got the warn as in the screenshot [2] stating that fwupdate related
software is incompatible with Fedora 28. Is this ok?

Thanks,
A.
