Description

This test case ensures that replacing power-profiles-daemon with tuned-ppd works correctly and that the power profiles are selectable via GNOME Control Center.

Setup

Install the pre-release version of Fedora to be tested on a system with GNOME installed.

How to test

Be as specific as required for the target audience.

  1. Replace power-profiles-daemon with tuned-ppd:sudo dnf swap power-profiles-daemon tuned-ppd
  2. Launch GNOME Control Center and navigate to the power panel:
  3. Select one of the three available power profiles.
  4. Click on the top-right corner of the screen to check that the "Power Mode" shows the profile name that you selected.
  5. Check the active profile in tuned-adm by running: tuned-adm active
  6. Verify the profile name mapping by viewing the configuration in /etc/tuned/ppd.conf.

Expected Results

The following must be true to consider this a successful test run. Be brief ... but explicit.

  1. The system successfully swaps power-profiles-daemon with tuned-ppd without errors.
  2. The power profiles are selectable in GNOME Control Center’s power panel.
  3. The "Power Mode" in the top-right corner of the screen shows the correct profile name after a selection is made.
  4. The command tuned-adm active shows the active profile that matches the selected profile.
  5. The profile name mapping in /etc/tuned/ppd.conf corresponds correctly to the selected profile.

Optional

Optionally provide hints for exploratory testing.

  • Test switching between the profiles multiple times and verify stability.
  • Review power consumption and system performance after selecting different profiles.
