2026-09-14 @ 16:00 UTC - Fedora 45 Blocker Review Meeting

Project Discussion

Hi folks! It’s time for a Fedora 45 blocker (and FE) review meeting! We have 1 proposed blocker and 4 proposed freeze exceptions for Final.

The meeting will be on Matrix. Click the link above to join in a web client - you can authenticate with your FAS account - or use a dedicated client of your choosing.

If you have time today, you can take a look at the proposed or accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found here.

Remember, you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings! If you look at the bug list in the blockerbugs app, you’ll see links labeled “Vote!” next to all proposed blockers and freeze exceptions. Those links take you to tickets where you can vote. This page has instructions on how exactly you do it. We usually go through the tickets shortly before the meeting and apply any clear votes, so the meeting will just cover bugs where there wasn’t a clear outcome in the ticket voting yet. THIS MEANS IF YOU VOTE NOW, THE MEETING WILL BE SHORTER!

We’ll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they’re not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F45 can be found on the wiki.

For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process,
check out these links:

And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting works - or how it’s supposed to go and you want to run one - check out the SOP on the wiki.

Have a good day and see you tomorrow!

  4. TOPIC:(2530897) F45 grub boot fails with "invalid magic number" when installed to FW RAID multiple times from GTK installer (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:08:53)

    4. INFO: Ticket vote: FinalBlocker (+3,0,-0) (+derekenz, +geraldosimiao, +nielsenb) (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:08:53)
    5. AGREED: 2530897 - AcceptedBlocker (Final) - this is accepted as a blocker as it appears to be a conditional violation of "The installer must be able to detect and install to firmware RAID storage devices" (it seems to fail if there has been a previous Fedora install to the same RAID set). however, we may revisit this decision if further testing indicates the problem does not affect a lot of systems, or the proposal to remove firmware RAID from the criteria is accepted (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:27:08)
  5. TOPIC:(2533000) [Regression] Reboot and poweroff no longer work in console for regular users in F45 Workstation (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:27:33)

    4. INFO: Ticket vote: FinalBlocker (+1,0,-1) (+derekenz, -nielsenb) (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:27:33)
    5. AGREED: 2533000 - RejectedBlocker (Final) AcceptedFreezeException (Final) - this was rejected on the basis it's just too narrow a conditional violation (only non-privileged execution of bare commands in a VT fails, all other possibilities work). It's accepted for an FE as it is a somewhat annoying and visible issue and it'd be nice to have it fixed at release if possible (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:46:07)
  6. TOPIC:Proposed Final freeze exceptions (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:46:19)

    5. AGREED: 2531850 - AcceptedFreezeException (Final) - this is a significant problem for input method users that may affect live sessions and thus cannot be entirely fixed with a post-release update (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:51:46)
