Bug 2134742

Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 37-final by Fedora user frantisekz using the blocker tracking app because:

 Bunch of fixes for mesa drivers.

FEDORA-2022-f65669a44a has been submitted as an update to Fedora 37. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2022-f65669a44a

Dave, Adam - it's hard for us to assess if it makes sense to pull this into F37 Final. Here's the situation: we already slipped from the early target date. Go/No-Go for the next potential release date is next Thursday (Oct 20). Ideally I'd like to try and build an RC today, if not, it'll likely be over the weekend or on Monday. So we can figure on about three days of testing before we have to sign it off for release (or not). Given that timeframe, do you think it makes sense to pull in this new mesa, or stick with the one we have? Thanks!

Discussed during the 2022-10-17 blocker review meeting: [0]

The decision to classify this bug as a "RejectedFreezeException (Final)" was made as nobody has provided a strong reason to pull this in and we have no evaluation from a domain expert, so it doesn't seem prudent to just pull this in and hope it makes things better.

 Re-proposing

I don't think this should contain anything that is super urgent. I think we can just to di post GA.

How does this fare with

The experience is not great installing Fedora 37 RC 1.4 using Nouveau. Fortunately, nomodeset works. I'm not sure how wide-spread it may be and the reason creating the issue.

There's no indication in that bug that mesa 22.2.2 final would help, though. Does it?

You have a very new (and very high-end) graphics card; most lower-end and older NVIDIA cards likely don't have the same issue, or we'd probably have more reports by now. Oh, also note we actually provide a menu option on the live and install boot menus intended for exactly this kind of case, "Basic graphics mode": it runs the installer/live environment with 'nomodeset'.

Oh, I got my NVIDIA generations off by one, so 3070 isn't as new as I thought it was. Still, we don't seem to have many reports of this, so either it's somehow specific to your card, or all the 3070s out there were being used for crypto mining...:D
