fedora 42 WSL

The DNF5 team is working on ironing out bugs around matching the existing functionality of GNOME Software with PackageKit. The DNF and QA teams have organized a test week from Monday,February 10, 2025 to Monday, February 17, 2025. The wiki page in this article contains links to the test images you’ll need to participate. Please continue reading for details.

How does a test week work?

A test week is an event where anyone can help ensure changes basic functionality of GNOME Software work well in an upcoming release. Fedora community members often participate, and the public is welcome at these events. If you’ve never contributed before, this is a perfect way to get started.

To contribute, you only need to be able to do the following things:

  • Download test materials, which include some large files
  • Read and follow directions step by step

The wiki page for the kernel test week has a lot of good information on what and how to test. After you’ve done some testing, you can log your results in the test week web application.

Happy testing, and we hope to see you on one of the test days.

    Hi, it’s impossible to test with this Copr because there’s no build for F42, and it’s too old to use on Rawhide 🙁

      Hi, there were some issues with the COPR repo due to Fedora 42/Rawhide branching. Should be good to go now.

    Hi Sumantro, I noticed the microphone is not working on my firefox webrtc calls on this beta42. Should I investigate and report? or the reports should concern gnome interactions only?
