Let me try rewording it: Quite apart from your current pedantic stand about whether something is released because it's momentarily *about* to be released, I was *further* commenting on how people *continually* try posting on the user-list about software that is still in test, all year long.

Because the people working on the test releases aren't always subscribed to this list.?? They don't want to be.?? They want to keep this groups chatter out of the way of what they're working on. And the opposite applies:?? The people working with the released software, on *this* list, want to keep the chatter about software-in-test out of the way. That's why there's two lists.??

There could be a split whereby user-support for the test release is here and the machine-generated emails and QA organisational threads remain on the test list. If we could accept that some people ask for help about a test release here without pointing them to the etst list, I wouldn't care about a change similar ot the one that I've just enunciated.

Maybe it would be better to make the distinction a different way. The test list is used for communications of the Fedora QA team, and for people who are actively, well, _testing_ the software. This list is the _users_ list, and is for people who are _using_ the software. Rather than saying "wrong list!" if someone is using a beta or rawhide release _as a user_, we could just be more accepting of those posts here. Of course, some times the response would be "well, that's beta still, so don't expect perfection". But in reality, a lot of software that's updated in rawhide or beta is upstream changes, and those changes are likely to land in final. To me, it makes perfect sense to talk about the user impact here. In the cases where it then goes into a QA topic, we could encourage discussion to move to the test list (or to a bug report). -- Matthew Miller Fedora Project Leader ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

I pointed out that a post relating to unreleased software should go on the Test list. That is the official policy of this list. When dealing with a new release of Fedora, up to the point it is announced, I consider it to be unreleased. There doesn't appear to be any formal definition of what "released" means other than the announcement, so that's what I'm going with. And the number of times we see posts related to unreleased software on this list leads me to the conclusion that, far from being bureaucratic and nit-picking, the occasional reminder is necessary. poc ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

The systems I tried this on both run X11 (XFCE, so no wayland), and I just got this graphical display (Fedora logo in the middle of the screen and update messages at the top). I guess it's the plymouth package that takes care of these graphics. I used dnf system-upgrade to do the upgrades. -- Sjoerd Mullender signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

On Fedora 29 and older, grub2 did not install /boot/grub2/grub.cfg - that file was created during installation by grub2-mkconfig invoked by Anaconda, and then the grub.cfg was maintained by grubby which would edit the menu entries. On Fedora 30, the grub.cfg is still created and used, but it's a static file that points to /boot/loader/entries for individual menu entry files (BLS snippets if you will). That's described in this Fedora 30 feature: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/30/ChangeSet#Make_BootLoaderSpec-style_configuration_files_the_default The bug happens when a sufficiently old BIOS GRUB is present, I'll call it "grub installed" in contrast to "RPM installed". That's because the actual binaries that execute after POST are never updated by RPM updates; so you can have a current GRUB "RPM installed" but not "grub installed" unless you manually invoke 'grub2-install'. A too old GRUB somehow fails to load the blscfg.mod, a new GRUB module to support reading BLS snippets. The grub.cfg.rpmsave is a copy of the original grub.cfg before the upgrade, and will still work (of course it'll boot a Fedora 29 kernel rather than a Fedora 30 kernel but that's OK). The new grub.cfg after a Fedora 30 upgrade conforms to the Bootloaderspec feature, meaning it's a fairly static file that doesn't get updated as kernels are installed/removed, instead the kernel RPM runs a script that creates/removes the BLS snippets found in /boot/loader/entries. > But something is still updating /boot/grub2/grub.cfg, since my grub.cfg > timestamps are from the last F29 kernel update. On Fedora 29, grub.cfg is modified by grubby (the real one, not the wrapper script on Fedora 30). > I just ran grub2-install on my up-to-date F29 system, and rebooted. > Everything on F29 still seems to be in order, the grub menu is the same.

The former. A Fedora 29 kernel update will act just as it always has, grubby will modify the grub.cfg to include a new menu entry for the installed kernel. During Fedora 30 upgrade, there's a conversion script that will extract existing menu entries from grub.cfg, create the individual BLS snippets in /boot/loader/entries, rename the old grub.cfg to grub.cfg.rpmnew, and create a new grub.cfg that conforms to the BLS feature being enabled. -- Chris Murphy ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

update to F30 seems to have failed
I just attempted update f29->f30 using sudo dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=30 After reboot sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot The system got to running transaction But then seemed to hang. I waited about 15 minutes. The laptop fan was not running, indicating it was not using cpu. Alt-F2 etc would not switch consoles, so I could not get a bash shell to check. The only thing that responded is, on any keypress, it would repaint the screen with the list of packages to be installed etc. So it wasn't dead. But I don't think it was making any progress either. This is a fast machine with SSD, so I wouldn't expect to wait too long to see something happen. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
