What to test?
Today's instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on:
Who's available
The following cast of characters will be available for testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...
- Development - Harald Hoyer
- Quality Assurance - David Kovalsky, Ondrej Hudlicky, James Laska
Prerequisite for Test Day
- Rawhide Fully updated (some tips below)
- FAS Account - you can create an account in 3 minutes if you don't have one
- Selinux enabled. If you need to run in permissive mode please file a bug against selinux
no animals will be hurt during testing
How to test?
1) update your machine to latest rawhide tip1: try F11 Alpha + updates if rawhide doesn't install tip2: install F10 + rawhide updates if F11 Alpha doesn't install on your machine tip3: yum-skipbroken may come in handy in case there are broken deps `yum --skipbroken update'
2) install bootchart `yum install bootchart'
3) Make sure the kernel you're about to boot has init set to bootchart. Open /boot/grub/menu.lst and check there's init=/sbin/bootchartd on the kernel command line
4) Reboot
5) Upload your hardware profile.
Either via smoltSendProfile' in the terminal or smoltGui' for GUI. Don't forget to save a link to your profile
on the web. Also, your profile unique ID is saved in /etc/sysconfig/hw-uuid. Check the file contains your UUID.
6) Runbootchart' on the command line.This should create bootchart.png image, which will show you the timings of your boot. Nice, isn't it?
7) Upload your bootchart data from /var/log/ along with your link to your profile. Use the table below. Create a unique copy of the file: cp /var/log/bootchart.tgz ./Bootchart-head -n1 /etc/sysconfig/hw-uuid-myservices.tgz
8) Desktop setup: disable all services except those listed below, reboot, create new graph and
upload Bootchart-$UUID-desktop.tgz
Enabled services (may need to install some using yum):
tip: ntsysv' is your friend :)
NetworkManager, gacpid, atd, auditd, avahi-daemon, bluetooth, cpuspeed, crond, cups, gpm, haldaemon, ip6tables, iptables, irda, irqbalance, isdn, kerneloops, lm_sensors, mdmonitor, messagebus, microcode_ctl, netfs, nfslock, pcscd, portreserve, rpcbind, rpcgssd, rpcidmapd, rsyslog, sendmail, smolt, sshd, udev-post
9) Server setup: Enable only these services, reboot, and upload Bootchart-$UUID-server.tgz acpid, atd, auditd, cpuspeed, crond, cups, gpm, haldaemon, httpd, ip6tables, iptables, irqbalance, lm_sensors, mdmonitor, messagebus, microcode_ctl, mysqld, named, netfs, network, nfs, nfslock, nscd, ntpd, pcscd, portreserve, rpcbind, rpcgssd, rpcidmapd, rsyslog, sendmail, smartd, smolt, sshd, udev-post
10) Minimal service set: Enable only these services, reboot, and upload Bootchart-$UUID-minimal.tgz atd,auditd,crond,haldaemon,messagebus,network,rsyslog,sshd
Now you're finished! Take a look into the bootcharts and identify bottlenecks. Use the notes section for simple notes, or services like http://www.pastebin.com if you want to add more information about your hardware. If you find any bugs, or have ideas how to improve the boot experiecen, file a bug into Red Hat Bugzilla.
The test day is divided into 2 parts - first part is about gathering the data. In the second part we're going to go through the data and prepare a report.
