For this, we will be using the python-bugzilla module

    pip install python-bugzilla

This provides 'bugzilla' command, which is the interface we'll be using.
bugzilla has a "modify" sub command which allows us to update a bug via the CLI.
The most important piece of this is to pass the following argument, which surpresses email updates.

   --field=minor_update=1

you could generate a swapfile on the FS and then use that
dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/swapfile bs=1014 count=$(expr <megabytes> \* 1024)
mkswap /path/to/swapfile
swapon /path/to/swapfile
then add it to the fstab if you want it to persist past reboots

or

you could dd, mkswap, add to fstab, then swapon -a

Checking for qpid deadlock https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-7317

These steps can be used to check for a qpid deadlock when tasks are stuck in Katello

• In the dynflow console, click the step that the task is stuck on and find the pulp worker it is assigned to in "worker_name" or "queue"
  • i.e. queue: reserved_resource_worker-1@foo.example.com.dq
• run ps -awfux | grep celery | grep reserved_resource_worker-X where X is the worker number
  • i.e. ps -awfux | grep celery | grep reserved_resource_worker-1
• Check the child process (usually the bottom one) and get that pid
  • for example:

jlsherrill

error "Katello::Resources::Candlepin::Consumer: 410 Gone
{"displayMessage":"Unit 370f8333-fd19-4c0b-9408-dff6d80ce28d has been deleted"}

foreman-rake console

Katello::System.find_by(:uuid => '370f8333-fd19-4c0b-9408-dff6d80ce28d').try(:destroy!)
host = Katello::Host::SubscriptionFacet.find_by(:uuid => '370f8333-fd19-4c0b-9408-dff6d80ce28d').try(:host)
host.subscription_facet.try(:destroy! ) if host

Register both Satellite and Capsule systems

Run these commands on both Satellite and Capsule systems to properly register them to CDN and to remove Beaker repositories (only needed for Red Hat QE folks)

export USER_NAME=""
export USER_PASSWORD=""

Also, I would be grateful if you could give me some advice about the skills I need in order to have a career as a Quality Engineer.

I think that the most important skill a Quality Engineer (QE for short) should have is to always strive to deliver quality and never compromise on this goal. Sure, being flexible is just as important, and in order to position yourself in a place where you don't have to compromise on delivering quality, the second important skill is to always, always, do your homework and present facts (backed up with real data and numbers) about the current state of the product you're working on. Don't say things like "the product is too buggy" or "the usability is bad." Instead, focus on showing the type and number of issues you've encountered during your testing cycle or exploratory testing period. Show them numbers! Tell them instead, "our automation shows that feature X has failed Y number of tests out of a total of Z tests, which represents a percentage of P. Furthermore, since feat
