[NEWS] Fedora 32 is released

MauryG5:
Yes I read your post on Twitter, hopefully well then. We're currently at 5.6.10, I think we'll have to wait a while... Thanks for the information!

MauryG5:
In any case I had not seen well that by doing the command "sudo dnf update --refresh" the system sees all the updates that are there and then asks if you want to install them. It can be used as an alternative to dnf dragora and software center. I am updating both via terminal and via software center.

I've tried out the Fedora 32 Workstation Live USB, sadly it does _not_ work. I've sent Fedora team an email to their mailing list https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/ppc@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/FYTZDTC4BCZDIC7Y7UCUZQ4EDDGBVAGY/

And the response is:

--- Quote ---no, there are multiple issues, but the image works fine in a VM. The
problem is that petitboot doesn't fully understand the grub config
(/boot/grub/grub.cfg) used in the Live image, same config does work when
processed by grub in a VM. The solution is to keep only 64-bit
versions/paths as we don't produce 32-bit content for a long time, for
details see https://github.com/weldr/lorax/pull/1017. It means it will
be fixed in F-33.

The workaround is to edit the kernel/initrd paths before booting to
be /ppc/ppc64/{vmlinuz,initrd.img} instead of /ppc/ppc. Or maybe there
is a newer/fixed version of petitboot, so also building a new firmware
image could help.

--- Quote from: samat.io on May 06, 2020, 12:59:56 am ---I downloaded the Fedora 32 ppc64el Workstation image (from here) but got "kernel error" when I tried to load it via Petitboot—anyone else notice the same?

An Ubuntu Server 20.04 image worked fine.

To workaround this issue, at Petitboot prompt, please edit the Fedora 32 boot option (press e key after moving the cursor to the entry):

Kernel: ppc/ppc64/vmlinuz
Initrd: ppc/ppc64/initrd.img

Tried Kernel 5.6.13 and this doesn't work either. It ends up that at this rate it will never work if someone does not tell the Fedora team that this damned Kernel has a bug in the management of the Navi10, it is not normal that you put support for a graphics card and then you do not solve a small bug that it doesn't make it work, you might as well not put it on the PAtch ...! I will also try to write to that address that Tle posted to see what they answer ...
