I attempted to test Linux Kernel 6.6 on Fedora SilverBlue 39 (the KDE spin).

It caused a boot loop. 😞

It is 1:25 Am, so I will attempt to see if there is any logs or not, tomorrow ( in the morning), buy loading image 1, because image 0 seems impossible.

#Fedora #Fedora39 #Kernel6 #Linux

Fedora Test Day: FAILED.

Continuous boot loop. -- Had to move back to image 1 since image 0 would boot loop.

Since it is Fedora Kinoite, I cannot exactly manually install things from Git.

That is the whole point of an immutable, right?

fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Test

So what can I offer to help?

#FedoraSilverBlue #FedoraKinoite #Fedora39 #FedoraTestDay #Fedora

The Fedora Wiki says join the Fedora-Test-Day IRC Channel.

It's just little old me in here.

So much for IRC. -- It had been years since I willingly joined an IRC, and it's all me by my lonesome. lol 😂

This is why people stick to social media.

#Fedora #Fedora39 #FedoraSilverblue #FedoraKinoite #FedoraTestDay #Linux

So, I don't think I was very helpful, but neither is Fedora's site.

I attempted to submit a bug, but it wanted me to enter a bug number. I have no number, so I picked 666;666 because why not?!

testdays.fedoraproject.org/eve

It's the 1st time a bug site wanted me to pick my own bug number. That seems "odd"

But OK. It is what it is. I don't have all second, much less all day. -- Bug reported.

No one was in the IRC Live Chat except bots.

#Fedora #FedoraSilverblue #FedoraTestDay #Fedora39

I'd give them a log, but because I am on image 1 and not image 0, the logs say all is working just fine.

So really, all I could do was say, "I experienced a boot loop"

Not much to go on, but there wasn't anyone there to guide me further on what I can forward.

I feel dated. Immutable OS's have come along way. Once upon a time, you could not upgrade them, much less customize them, much less use them as a desktop. So I am a little out of my depth. -- Was still eager to help. -- Oh well. I tried.

As far as I'm concerned after at least 23 years might as well be IRC itself. At least then they could innovate and diverge from the constraints of the origin protocol and modernize.

Like for example the commands, help and other barriers are pretty strong, not ideal for new users. Command schema like "/msg nickserve register xyz" is not aligned with current simpler technologies.

I've stopped going there, matrix has its own problems but the barrier to entry "gate" is more in line with Average Joe type users. And it does pictures, video and voice.

Still compared to Discord there are some convienience nuances and the over promotion of a single server.

All in all, it would have been great to see a new text based IRC style chat take its place with less intellectual gates. But it is what it is, and the old people like me don't want to learn new things, its doomed to not grow but has tradeoffs.

I hope to see innovation someday, I am thankful to rust for so much innovation in coreutils and TUI.
