Today's instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on Gnome Boxes. Gnome Boxes is intuitive application for managing virtual machines targeted towards typical desktop end-users, who just want to automatically install and run different operating systems on their hosts. Gnome Boxes is focused on usability and out of the box user experience with very little input from user.

If you're running Fedora XX, make sure you have all the current updates for it installed, using the update manager. If you want to try Rawhide, see the instructions on the [[Releases/Rawhide|Rawhide]] page on the various ways in which you can install or update to Rawhide. Or:
Install Gnome Boxes by running: ''yum install --enablerepo=updates-testing gnome-boxes'' on installed system.


=== '''Live image''' ===
== Test Cases ==


Optionally, you may download a non-destructive Rawhide live image for your architecture. Tips on using a live image are available at [[FedoraLiveCD]]. Live images can be found [http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/desktop/ here].

Provide a list of test areas or test cases that you'd like contributors to execute.  For other examples, see [[:Category:Test_Cases]].

== Test Results ==
== Test Results ==


Construct a table or list to allow testers to post results.  Each column should be a test case or configuration, and each row should consist of test results. Include some instructions on how to report bugs, and any special instructions. Here's an example, from a Palimpsest test day:
If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to [https://bugzilla.gnome.org Gnome Bugzilla] usually for the component [https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gnome-boxes&version=3.4.x gnome-boxes], or to [https://bugzilla.redhat.com RedHat Bugzilla] for the component [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=17&component=gnome-boxes gnome-boxes] for Fedora specific bugs (installer, integration, etc.). If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on IRC and we will help you. Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the Results table below, following the example results from the first line as a template. The first column should be your name with a link to your User page in the Wiki if you have one, and the second should be a link to the Smolt profile of the system you tested. For each test case, use the [[Template:result|result template]] to enter your result, as shown in the example result line.

Fedora Test Days
GNOME Boxes
Date 2012-05-17
Time all day
Website QA/Fedora_17_test_days
IRC #fedora-test-day (webirc)
Mailing list test


Can't make the date?
If you come to this page before or after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test, file any bugs you find at Bugzilla, and add your results to the results section. If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.

What to test?[edit]

Today's instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on Gnome Boxes. Gnome Boxes is intuitive application for managing virtual machines targeted towards typical desktop end-users, who just want to automatically install and run different operating systems on their hosts. Gnome Boxes is focused on usability and out of the box user experience with very little input from user.

Who's available[edit]

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...

Prerequisite for Test Day[edit]

  • CPU supporting virtualization, check using this command: egrep '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo If you don't get vmx or svm in output, check if virtualization is enabled in BIOS.
  • Free space on HD
  • Various operating systems installation ISOs, CD/DVDs and USB sticks:
    • Fedora 16 and 17
    • Windows XP and 7
    • Debian, Ubuntu etc.
  • Copy ISOs to Download directory in your home.

How to test?[edit]

Install latest Fedora 17 prerelease[edit]

Verification
Please check the SHA256SUM is correct before booting!
Architecture SHA256SUM
x86_64 986a654f90ee8fecea2f5aa8abd58a3b8778753a569363f49148016d763b724d
i386 3ef38ee75d180d4215f82770b3683eb27ca2b56ef3548c003067cfa9fce37702
Hardware profile
Update system
  • After you install Fedora 17 prerelease, make sure you have all the current updates for it installed, using the update manager or running yum update on installed system.

Install Gnome Boxes[edit]

Install Gnome Boxes by running: yum install --enablerepo=updates-testing gnome-boxes on installed system.

Test Cases[edit]

SELinux
You need to switch SELinux on host to Permissive mode using command setenforce 0 after each boot.
Resources
Unless hosts are very powerful, you should not have more than 2 boxes running at a time.

Test Results[edit]

If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Gnome Bugzilla usually for the component gnome-boxes, or to RedHat Bugzilla for the component gnome-boxes for Fedora specific bugs (installer, integration, etc.). If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on IRC and we will help you. Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the Results table below, following the example results from the first line as a template. The first column should be your name with a link to your User page in the Wiki if you have one, and the second should be a link to the Smolt profile of the system you tested. For each test case, use the result template to enter your result, as shown in the example result line.
