[opensuse-zsystems] Increasing coverage for Tumbleweed on IBM Z: 'textmode'
by sergio 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

Hi geekos, After the first test suite was done 'textmode-server', it was time to add another test suite 'textmode': https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/1185795 The difference with textmode-server, is that in 'textmode' Yast is started with ncurses. I have then moved the test suite to be scheduled in openSUSE Tumbleweed s390x: https://openqa.opensuse.org/group_overview/34 Next test suite: RAID0_gpt #cp disc -- Sergio Lindo Mansilla <slindomansilla(a)suse.com> QA Engineer SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH Maxfeldstr. 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany https://www.suse.com/ (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) Geschäftsführer: Felix Imendörffer

Hi, The bug https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1156053 is still open and thanks to Jiri the kernel feature is disabled by default on s390x, so the workaround will not be needed.

Hi IBM mainframe enthusiasts! After some time of standby, Tumbleweed build for IBM Z is working and triggering tests: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Factory:zSystems A lot of packages still need love, but installer works. Tests are now adapted and passing: https://openqa.opensuse.org/group_overview/34 https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/1171171 There is only one bug that needs to be worked around for the installation. See https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1156047 TLDR -> Add to linuxrc: "hardened_usercopy=off" We have ISO! http://download.opensuse.org/ports/zsystems/tumbleweed/iso/ We have repo! http://download.opensuse.org/ports/zsystems/tumbleweed/repo/oss/ Enjoy! Thanks Mike and Berthold for your help. Kind Regards, Sergio
