donaldsebleung FCOS next image with QEMU; arch: x86_64; custom Ignition file with password-based SSH access; launching with QEMU [1] [2] 1. Can confirm that IP address of VM is printed in FCOS stable but not FCOS next, using identical configuration. Does not seem to affect usability of system though
2. Using ignition file: https://github.com/DonaldKellett/fcos-test-day-cloud-launch/blob/main/fcos-test-... ; following documentation "launching with QEMU": https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/provisioning-qemu/ ; did not see IP address of VM printed to console possibly because password-based SSH was configured instead of SSH key(s) ; both local and SSH password login worked as expected, did not find any system issues

lruzicka QEMU [1] 1. I was able to install using the approach described in https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/provisioning-qemu/, however the approach described here https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/provisioning-libvirt/ did not work and the command was complaining about no permission to read the ignition file which was the same (with same permissions) in both attempts.
millerthegorilla [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] 1. these were both the x86_64 image
2. mounted virtual image as per https://gist.github.com/shamil/62935d9b456a6f9877b5 (Mount qcow image), and installed using https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/bare-metal/#_installing_from_.... Installer ran fine, sshd in, and no ip address was reported on screen. got the ip address from virt-manager and ssh'd in. Seems to be working, tried machinectl shell to open standard user from ignition file, worked fine.
3. started live cd install using virt-manager. Started ok, to prompt, but when trying to run coreos-installer picking up config.ign from the local network, the install failed with 'error checking whether /dev/sda is an ibm dasd disk.' Output of lsblk is garbled, with disk listed as '^%\xef\x9aaU'. Perhaps related to this (https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/coreos-pxeboot-coreos-installer-cant-form...)
4. edk2 install failed to present a network address to the internet, wired connection not recognised by router.
5. Docs for uboot at (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/provisioning-raspberry-pi4/#_...) assume a non rpm-ostree install on the host machine. Ie there is no dnf available on my silverblue laptop, and I couldn't figure how to install using toolbox (perhaps I should have used a --privileged flag to podman). The docs for EDK (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/provisioning-raspberry-pi4/#_...), should probably invite the user to expand their xfs partition before mounting. In my experience, only gparted has the capacity to do this correctly without too much hassle.
6. install on pi4b following instructions for edk2 at [fedora-docs](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/provisioning-raspberry-pi4/#_edk2_combined_disk_mode_alternate_machine_disk_preparation) - boot loads, after very long pause at grub boot screen 'booting coreos-vernum' , No IP address is shown, and SSH host key is displayed, 3 times, one for ecdsa, one for ed25519 and one for RSA. What are these host keys, and why are they displayed?

donaldsebleung FCOS 36.20220325.1.0 on QEMU/KVM [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] 1. Did not see IP address of VM printed to console after boot (prints when using "stable" stream), but does not affect usability of system
2. Static networking worked as expected. Configured IP address and netmask 10.0.2.10/24, gateway 10.0.2.2. `ip addr show` gives correct IP, pinging the VM, host and external websites all work as expected
3. Test case "Adding /var/log from a secondary disk" works as expected: second disk is detected, partition created and formatted with xfs filesystem as specified, filesystem mounted on /var/log as specified
4. Rootless podman, privileged podman, privileged docker all passed
5. Busybox hello.service works as expected
6. kernel.sysrq test works as expected, custom value of 0 remains after a reboot
7. Setting systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0 in the Ignition config worked as expected: got a visible warning message on SSH login, /proc/cmdline indicates the kernel argument has been set. Rebooted the VM, settings persisted. Used `rpm-ostree kargs` to (1) update systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy to 1; (2) remove systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy; (3) add systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0. All changes were correctly registered after a reboot.
8. Following the example "Layering vim and setting it as the default editor" in the docs results in a failed service with the following messages: Problem: conflicting requests - package vim-enhanced-2:8.2.4621-1.fc36.x86_64 requires vim-common = 2:8.2.4621-1.fc36, but none of the providers can be installed - package vim-common-2:8.2.4621-1.fc36.x86_64 requires vim-data = 2:8.2.4621-1.fc36, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install both vim-data-2:8.2.4621-1.fc36.noarch and vim-data-2:8.2.4579-1.fc36.noarch . EDITOR is set correctly to vim though. Also the docs should mention that this service might take a while to run before the reboot.

lruzicka QEMU [1] 1. The `vim` package cannot be installed because there is a conflict of versions, as far as I can tell from the output in journalctl when attempting to install it. However, the mechanism does work normally when trying to install a different editor, such as `e3`.

Nemric PXE installation [1] [2] 1. Setting up journald to run in RAM (since promtail send logs to grafana/loki) with : ```yaml systemd: units: - name: systemd-journald.service dropins: - name: 11-storage_volatile.conf contents: | [Journal] Storage=volatile RuntimeMaxUse=16M RuntimeMaxFileSize=16M RuntimeMaxFiles=1 - name: systemd-journal-flush.service mask: true```
2. Trying the rewritten fscahe that landed on kernel 5.17 -> sudo rpm-ostree install --apply-live cachefilesd && sudo systemctl enable --now cachefilesd Seems to be more reliable : it worked at first attempt and still alive (cat /proc/fs/nfsfs/* : fsc = yes) after nfs server reboot and/or host reboot
