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 instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on Workstation on Wayland - for Fedora 25, the Workstation flavor will be using Wayland by default for the first time, and today we will be testing that it works well enough.
Who's available
The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...
- Development - Jonas Ådahl (jadahl), Olivier Fourdan (ofourdan)
- 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.
Live image
A special Test Day live image is available which is based on the Fedora 25 20161011.n.0 nightly build, but includes the latest versions of gtk3, gnome-shell and mutter:
The sha256sum of the image is 2836dcbba89689bea0c7feff4e6769278e64085f8616a6e8ef7d20b34eeec39a.
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 (NOTE: result page not yet created, check back soon) 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.
Reporting bugs
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 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.
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.
Test Results
Please enter your results on the result page (NOTE: result page not yet created, check back soon). The results will be transferred here after the Test Day is finished.
