Now that we've reached the branch point, it's time to start doing weekly blocker summaries again! Beta freeze begins on 22 February and the current target Beta release date is 15 March. Action summary ==================== Accepted blockers ----------------- 1. anaconda — When running anaconda on Wayland with two keyboard layouts configured, hitting any modifier key with the second layout selected switches to the first layout — ASSIGNED ACTION: Maintainers to diagnose issue 2. distribution — Fedora 36 backgrounds not present on release-blocking desktops (GNOME, KDE) — NEW ACTION: Maintainers to update background packages 3. fedora-release — fedora-release-identity-cloud says "Cloud Edition", Cloud has not been an edition for years — NEW ACTION: Maintainers to update fedora-release-identity-cloud or group-with-such-authority to waive this. 4. kwin — openQA clicks in anaconda on KDE stop working shortly after it starts — NEW ACTION: Maintainers to diagnose issue 5. libinput — GNOME doesn't accept input from wireless keyboard if there's not another "keyboard" input available — NEW ACTION: Maintainers to diagnose issue 6. linux-firmware — Fedora 36: Server boot x86_64 image exceeds maximum size — ASSIGNED ACTION: None Proposed blockers ----------------- 1. distribution — Some variants are missing /etc/resolv.conf symlink (use systemd-resolved) — POST ACTION: QA to verify issue is resolved 2. dnf — exclude_from_weak_autodetect=true effectively renders rich weak dependencies useless — NEW ACTION: dnf maintainers to decide on approach for "instally only newly recommended packages" proposal Bug-by-bug detail ============= Accepted blockers ----------------- 1. anaconda — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2016613 — ASSIGNED When running anaconda on Wayland with two keyboard layouts configured, hitting any modifier key with the second layout selected switches to the first layout adamwill's research shows that this bug has existed since F25, but became more viisble after KDE switched to Wayland by default. This bug was deferred to F36 Beta under the "too hard to fix" exception. There's ongoing discussion trying to come up with a potential fix, however we still seem to be a long way from that point. 2. distribution — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2052654 — NEW Fedora 36 backgrounds not present on release-blocking desktops (GNOME, KDE) The usual desktop background blocker. 3. fedora-release — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2018271 — NEW fedora-release-identity-cloud says "Cloud Edition", Cloud has not been an edition for years Waived from F35 final under the "late blocker exception." Cloud WG is working on a proposal to re-promote Cloud to Edition status, but that will not happen for F36 release cycle. 4. kwin — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2047503 — NEW openQA clicks in anaconda on KDE stop working shortly after it starts Shortly after the installer starts, mouse clicks in openQA stop working. Using 'development mode' which allows for manual interaction still works. This bug only affects KDE, and appears to have been introduced in the KDE Plasma 5.24 pre-release on 2022-01-19. This bug is accepted under the "hinders execution of required Beta test plans" criterion. 5. libinput — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2017043 — NEW GNOME doesn't accept input from wireless keyboard if there's not another "keyboard" input available On some hardware, devices with multiple capabilities that include keyboard do not get registered as a keyboard. Thus they only work if another keyboard is connected. It seems to mostly (or exclusively) affect some ARM hardware. 6. linux-firmware — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2031214 — ASSIGNED Fedora 36: Server boot x86_64 image exceeds maximum size Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-36-20220210.n.0.iso is 731906048 bytes, which is below the maximum size of 734003200. This bug can probably be closed until the image exceeds the limit again. Proposed blockers ----------------- 1. distribution — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2032085 — POST Some variants are missing /etc/resolv.conf symlink (use systemd-resolved) Some variants are not using systemd-resolved as intended. With some recently-merged changes to Anaconda, this appears to be working correctly now. 2. dnf — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2033130 — NEW exclude_from_weak_autodetect=true effectively renders rich weak dependencies useless Behavior introduced by the "Enable exclude_from_weak_autodetect by default in LIBDNF" System-Wide Change appear to have undesired effects in some use cases, particularly with language packs. It appears that a robust fix is technically difficult, and the Change owners are discussing reverting this Change for F36 (see BZ 2013327). -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Fedora Program Manager Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
