Date TBD
Time all week

Website QA/Test Days
Matrix #test-day:fedoraproject.org
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?

This Test Day will focus on the Fedora Dist-Git Evaluation.

Who's available

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

You can chat with us on IRC. See the infobox on top of the page to learn the right IRC channel.

Prerequisite for Test Day

  • This is a Gitforge eval, so grab some workflows that you deeply care about
  • Try them up in Gitlab and/or Forgeo
  • Report your results on how the workflow went for you


How to test?

Run the tests

  1. Follow the instructions in QA:Testcase kernel regression. For users running the test day image, the tests are pre-installed in /home/liveuser/kernel-tests/.
  2. Visit the result page and enter your result in the 'Regression' column by clicking Enter result.
  3. If there are any other result columns, 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.
  4. While the results from the regression tests are interesting, we are also interested in your overall experience with the new kernels. You can put those under QA:Testcase Exploratory Testing.

Reporting bugs

Note to Virtualbox users: By default, the insert_leap_second test will fail, this is because Virtualbox syncs the guest time with the host in the middle of the test. This is not a kernel or test suite failure, it is a Virtualbox design issue. It should skip this test if your kernel-tests repo has been updated since 2021-09-12.

If you have problems with any of the tests, have a look in the results page. Please include the vulnerability output at the end of the test suite in the comments.

If you don't see it, please file a new bug to Bugzilla, probably against kernel component. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on IRC #fedora-test-day or #fedora-qa and we will help you.

Revert override on Fedora Silverblue or Kinoite

If you are a Fedora Silverblue or Kinoite user, you can revert the override and use the stable kernels again. Run the following command to revert it back:

rpm-ostree override reset kernel-modules kernel-modules-extra kernel-core kernel kernel-modules-core

And reboot.

Test Results

The results will be transferred once the test week is comeplete
