Here is an AI-generated summary of a Blocker review meeting [1] from
2025-10-20.
Please be aware that the summary is intended for a quick convenient
recapitulation of the meeting, but might contain factual errors. Read the
full meeting log for all the details.
Proposed Final blockers
* (2402675) WebUI: org.fedoraproject.Anaconda.KeyboardConfigurationError:
The live system has layout 'typing-booster' which can't be used for
installation. [2]
* Problem: The Anaconda WebUI installer encounters an error when the
live system uses the 'typing-booster' layout, preventing installation.
* Resolution: Rejected as a Final Blocker, Accepted as a Final Freeze
Exception. After analysis, the group concluded that the Workstation
experience is no worse than in F42, and the KDE experience is "manageably
awkward". It was accepted as a Freeze Exception to allow for improved error
messages or well-tested improvements if the release schedule slips.
* (2363937) Version upgrade from Fedora 41 to 42 disables postfix.service
[3]
* Problem: The postfix.service is disabled after a system upgrade.
* Resolution: Rejected as a Final Blocker, Accepted as a Final Freeze
Exception. The issue is not believed to technically violate the release
criteria and is not specific to Fedora 43. It is suspected to be an
interaction between a chkconfig change (present in both F42 and F43) and
systems that were previously upgraded to F42 using specific, individual
symlinks rather than the main /usr/sbin -\> /usr/bin symlink. It was
accepted as a Freeze Exception to allow a fix to land during the freeze
period if one is found.
* (2402621) [abrt] gnome-session: \_\_syscall\_cancel\_arch():
gnome-session-service killed by SIGABRT after systemd timeout during
initial install. [4]
* Problem: gnome-session-service crashes during the initial
installation process due to a systemd timeout.
* Resolution: Punted (decision delayed). The meeting did not reach a
clear consensus, with the vote at +2 / -4. A separate bug was filed for an
issue seen on Peter Robinson's Pinebook Pro, and the team is awaiting
further details.
* (2402498) Firmware device tree fall back doesn't appear to be working
[5]
* Problem: The firmware device tree fallback mechanism is not
functioning correctly.
* Resolution: Accepted as a Final Blocker. The bug is believed to
affect common configurations of the Raspberry Pi 4, a very popular device
for Fedora aarch64, as well as the Nanopi R5C.
Proposed Final Freeze exceptions
* (2373874) 7z cannot find library when invoked with full path: Codec
Load Error: /usr/bin/7z.so : errno=2 : No such file or directory [6]
* Problem: The 7zip application fails to find a required library when
executed using its full path.
* Resolution: Accepted as a Final Blocker. This issue was upgraded
from a proposed Freeze Exception. It is considered a blocker because it
violates the criterion requiring archive managers to function, as testing
showed it breaks all standard archive interactions in KDE (Ark, Dolphin).
* (2366216) DokuWiki 2025-05-14b "Librarian" is available [7]
* Problem: An update for DokuWiki is available.
* Resolution: Accepted as a Final Freeze Exception. This was accepted
to address a vulnerability as soon as possible and to avoid needing a
version bump immediately after release.
* (2404262) slitherer causes very high CPU usage without 3D acceleration
support (qemu VM with no 3D passthrough, bare metal with nomodeset) [8]
* Problem: The slitherer installer process causes very high CPU usage
on systems without 3D acceleration, such as in VMs or on bare metal with
nomodeset.
* Resolution: Accepted as a Final Freeze Exception. This was accepted
because it impacts the usability of the live installer in unaccelerated
environments and cannot be fixed with a post-release update.
Accepted Blocker review
* (2404424) KDE: drop down menu in anaconda does not work [9]
* Problem: Dropdown menus are broken in the Anaconda installer when
running in the KDE environment.
* Status: A fix has been tested upstream, but it requires a new
anaconda-webui release and a build for Fedora 43.
* (2394213) default hostonly-mode "sloppy" results in significant
increase in initramfs size [10]
* Problem: The dracut default "sloppy" hostonly mode leads to a
significant increase in the size of the initramfs.
* Status: The intended fix has been pushed to stable, but the team is
still waiting for someone to test and provide data on the new image sizes,
comparing them ideally to dracut 105.
* (2401216) Regression in mediatek mt7922 wifi [11]
* Problem: A regression is affecting the Mediatek MT7922 Wi-Fi
hardware.
* Status: The problematic change has been reverted upstream. The team
is now waiting for a new release to be tagged upstream.
