Description
This case tests upgrading a Fedora system from the previous stable release (Fedora 40) to the development release (Rawhide/Fedora 42) using PreUpgrade.
How to test
- Perform an installation of the previous stable release (e.g. Fedora 40) with default partitioning (no less than 200MB for
/boot). Ensure there are only 1 kernel installed on the system. - To model a real-world use case, ensure there are a total of three kernels installed on the system. You can locate and download older kernels from the koji build system or by using a
koji. For example, the following commands will list available kernels and download a specified kernel package from koji.- # yum update kernel -y
- Install the newest available version of
preupgrade - Run
preupgradefrom a command prompt or the Run Application dialog. Provide the requested password for root authorization. - On the "Choose desired release" screen, enable "unstable test releases".
- Choose Rawhide from the list of available upgrade targets.
- Click Apply.
- NOTE - If preupgrade presents a warning dialog noting that additional disk space in
/bootis required to complete the upgrade process, it would be considered a test result of FAIL. See methods to free more space in /boot, then click Check again - When the process completes, click Reboot.
- The system should reboot, perform the upgrade, and reboot into the new system automatically.
- Log in to upgraded system, open a terminal, file browser, or other system applications.
Expected Results
- The preupgrade utility will run to completion, without error.
- The upgrade should complete and reboot without user assistance.
- The system should be upgraded to new version without error.
- The opened terminal, file browser, or other system applications should display and work correctly.
