Here is an AI-generated summary of a Blocker review meeting [1] from September 8, 2025.
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 Blockers
## (2388469) [2] ugly message pops up immediately after finish the initial setup process
An "Oh No\!" error screen appears after completing the initial setup process but before the first login. Kamil Páral and Lukáš Růžička noted that while it looks bad, the message disappears on its own and seems harmless. However, Brandon Nielsen pointed out that there is a release criterion against such error messages. The group identified this as a violation of the Final release criterion regarding crash notifications. Jeremy Linton added that on some ARM hardware, the screen can persist for a minute. The consensus was to accept it as a blocker for the Final release but not for the Beta.
Resolution: Accepted as a Final blocker, rejected as a Beta blocker. This is a direct violation of the Final criterion: "There must be no SELinux denial notifications or crash notifications on boot of or during installation from a release-blocking live image, or at first login after a default install of a release-blocking desktop."
# Proposed Beta Freeze Exceptions
## (2391935) [3] FE: Exiv2 v0.28.6
This proposal was punted from the last meeting. The update addresses low-severity CVEs, but there are concerns about potential ABI breakage, as a previous update had issues. Kamil Páral argued that stabilizing the release is the priority and the risk is not worth it for the Beta media, especially since the update will be available to users shortly after installation. Kashyap Chamarthy, after some consideration, agreed with this reasoning. The group decided against including it in the Beta compose but would like to see it fixed for the Final release.
Resolution: Rejected as a Beta Freeze Exception. The group deemed the update too risky to include at this stage due to previous ABI breakage, and the CVEs being low-risk. The fix will be delivered as a regular update.
## (2392626) [4] samba-4.23.0-0.5.rc3 breaks ipa trust-add
This issue, along with a related one, could potentially break the upgrade process for Fedora Server users with specific FreeIPA configurations. Alexander B., the FreeIPA maintainer, considers it a blocker. The fix requires a combined update of both `samba` and `freeipa`. The group agreed to accept a freeze exception to prevent a broken upgrade path for users.
Resolution: Accepted as a Beta Freeze Exception. This is the first part of a two-part fix to prevent a broken upgrade process for Server users with specific FreeIPA configurations.
## (2393890) [5] ipactl restart fails to restart winbindd
This is the second part of the fix needed to resolve the FreeIPA upgrade issue. Kamil Páral created the bug during the meeting to track this component of the solution. The group quickly agreed to also grant this a freeze exception.
Resolution: Accepted as a Beta Freeze Exception. This is the second part of a two-part fix to prevent a broken upgrade process for Server users with specific FreeIPA configurations.
# Proposed Final Blockers
## (2391242) [6] Firefox slows down significantly when private mode invoked
This issue, which was punted from a previous meeting, causes significant slowdowns in Firefox. The problem appears to be related to fractional scaling, possibly only on certain AMD hardware, but the root cause is still under investigation. Given that the issue is not yet fully understood, the group decided to postpone the decision again.
Resolution: Punted. The cause and affected systems are still being narrowed down, so the decision has been postponed.
# Accepted Beta Blockers Review
- (2388785) [7] [webui] cockpit storage getting hidden on small screens behing non scrollable content: There has been no progress on this bug. An action was set for QA and Aoife Moloney to ping the anaconda developers for an update.
- (2389105) [8] blivet-gui only show one disk from a mdraid device which was created on two disks: A Bodhi update is available for testing. An action was set for QA to test the update.
- (2392391) [9] gnome-initial-setup start in F43 gets delayed by 90 seconds: A fix is included in the large GNOME "megaupdate" package. An action was set for QA to test this update promptly.
- (2354865) [10] libdnf (DNF4) should read DNF5 repo overrides: There is no update available. An action was set for QA and Aoife Moloney to contact the DNF team for a status update.
- (2390900) [11] Some blivet-gui installer dialogs unusable due to placement/sizing bug in Mutter 49 alpha: This is fixed by the GNOME "megaupdate" and has already been verified by Adam Williamson. No further action is needed.
# Open Floor
Jeremy Linton discussed bug 2393593 [12], where icons in the top-right menu of the desktop are missing on ARM systems with Scalable Vector Extensions (SVE) enabled. The issue seems to be caused by bubblewrap's seccomp filter blocking a `uname` system call, which is triggered when SVE is active. Jeremy plans to propose this as a Freeze Exception for the Final release. Kamil Páral suggested it might qualify as a Final blocker under the "Default panel functionality" criterion.
