Hello all,
I have a question related to regression and testing updates that I was
hoping somebody might have the time to answer. Thankfully, @kalev was
kind enough to give me an overview of whats going on this test in Bodhi
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-18f7fc4f08 but I
have further questions that I thought I'd bring to the mailing list.
Please treat me like a long-experienced (mostly windows) computer
user/troubleshooter, who has never studied CS and only knows fragments
of programming languages at this point in time. I used unixes back in
the 90s, but never became overly skilled/knowledgeable. I've started
watching/listening to videos on regression testing and I think I
understand the overall concept.
That all being said, I thank you for your patience, and the point of my
email is that I have questions related to the practical next steps for
this type of test -
Question 1:
Part A: I installed the .iso at
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/branched/latest-Fedora-31/compose/Workstation/x86_64/iso/
into a virtual machine (vmware) and started running tests. I ran
into some errors, so would I now go into
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/branched/ and download
the latest branch prior to the 'latest-Fedora-31'?
Part B: Could I switch my repository inside the installed system to
/etc/yum/repos.d/fedora.repo and uninstall Gnome Desktop (GD) and
then reinstall the GD from that repo and test to see if it worked
previously?
Question 2:
Part A: In filing a bug reports for issues like these, what is
standard operating procedure for where to send the bug (wiki/web
links welcome here). Do I file upstream and at redhat bugzilla
first and then upstream after some period of time? Or do I file
upstream first or both?
Part B: I received the command 'journalctl -a -b' as something to
comb through, and adding screenshots, but is there anything else
that you (testers and bug-fixers) might want in your bug reports to
help make the issue clearer from the start?
Once again, thank you for your patience and insights, and thanks to
@kalev for your help. It is all much appreciated in trying to get over
this learning curve :)
Sincerely,
Danny
