    • Red Hat ☛ Automate Oracle 19c deployments on OpenShift Virtualization

      Installing enterprise databases like Oracle Database 19c is not for the faint of heart. Anyone who has gone through the process knows the pain: reading long installation guides, following hundreds of manual steps, risking potential misconfigurations, and facing the looming chance of failure halfway through.

      Now, imagine doing all that inside a modern environment built to run both containers and virtual machines, like Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization. First, you provision a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) virtual machine (VM), configure the operating system, set up storage, and then step through the Oracle installer. One wrong package or missing kernel parameter, and you're back at square one.

    • Hellen Chemtai: Overcoming Challenges in OpenQA Images Testing: My Internship Journey

      Hello there. Today will be an in depth review on my work with the Debian OpenQA images testing team. I will highlight the struggles that I have had so far during my Outreachy internship.

      The OpenQA images testing team uses OpenQA to automatically install images e.g. Gnome Images. The images are then tested using tests written in Perl. My current tasks include speech install and capture all audio. I am also installing Live Gnome image to backdoored Windows using BalenaEtcher then testing it. A set of similar tasks will also be collaborated on. While working on tasks, I have to go through the guides. I also learn how Perl works so as to edit and create tests. For every change made, I have to re-run the job in developer mode. I have to create needles that have matches and click co-ordinates.

    • LWN ☛ Loong64 is now an official Debian architecture

      John Paul Adrian Glaubitz has announced

      that loong64 is now an official architecture for Debian, and will be

      part of the Debian 14 ("forky") release "if everything goes

      along as planned". This is a bit more than two years after the initial

      bootstrap of the architecture.
