Despite the page name, this Test Day will not be happening on 2016-10-26, it is postponed for a few days. We'll decide on a new date and rename the page soon. Stay tuned! We are still working on the test instructions and test cases below, so please wait until they're done before testing!
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?
Today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on Better Switchable Graphics Support - for Fedora 25, there are some changes to switchable graphics support and today we will be testing that it works well enough, especially for Wayland on Fedora Workstation.
Who's available
The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...
- Development - Hans (Jwrdegoede)
- Quality Assurance - Adam Williamson (adamw), Sumantro Mukherjee (sumantro)
Prerequisite for Test Day
- An updated Fedora Workstation 25 pre-release, or the Test Day live image.
Using an existing Fedora 25 installation
Using an existing Fedora 25 install to test is fine, but please ensure you are using the default GNOME-on-Wayland session (listed as just 'GNOME' in the login screen session chooser). Please also ensure you have at least the following packages updated:
It may also be a good idea to create a fresh user account for testing, though issues experienced with your regular user account are also of interest.
How to test?
Run the tests
Visit the result page is under progress and click on the column title links to see the tests that need to be run: most column titles are links to a specific test case. Follow the instructions there, then enter your results by clicking the Enter result button for the test. In the Profile section, please enter your graphics card model number and/or PCI ID. Note the test cases are just starting points: really the goal of this event is for you to exercise the system with your use cases and your hardware, so please do play around beyond what the test cases suggest!
Reporting bugs
If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Bugzilla. The component will depend on the bug - it could be the application in which you experienced the problem, or perhaps gtk3, gnome-shell or mutter. Please ask in IRC if you encountered an issue but are not sure where to report it. Please include your graphics card information in the bug report - you can run lshw -c display or lspci -nn , and paste the output into the bug report.
If you encounter a crash, you should be able to use the ABRT system to file a high-quality bug report. Run gnome-abrt - 'Problem Reporting' in the overview - look for the crash in the list you see, and click the Report button.
