Operating Systems and Porting / Re: [NEWS] Fedora 40 is officially released!

« Last post by Hasturtium on Today at 07:39:10 am »

Joy of joys - in setting up my clean install of Fedora 39 I did some media repo poking, opting for Red Hat’s non-free sources so I could get video acceleration properly working in YouTube and VLC. But when I try to run the Fedora 40 upgrade it kvetches that it can’t find corresponding packages and throws the brakes on things. Should I run it with —allow-erasing and prepare to redo my repo selection on the other side?

In my system:

Code: [Select]

[root@talos2 ~]# nvram -v -p ibm,skiboot --print-config
NVRAM size 589824 bytes
NVRAM contains 4 partitions
"ibm,skiboot" Partition

Auto boot and fast reboot are two different things and old kernels don't have the same bugs as new kernels.

Exactly. See https://shenki.github.io/skiboot-disable-fast-reboot/

Yes, I also encountered the Chromium blocking defect, I also wrote about it in the post relating to Fedora 40. Fedora itself encounters a problem and writes it and says that it automatically reported it, it freezes, the hard disk starts I don't know what to load and then suddenly Chromium closes and that's it.

Is fast reboot on or off?

I have "Auto boot -> Disabled" in the Petitboot configuration, but I haven't changed that since I started using Talos.
I guess it shouldn't make a difference since rebooting worked fine on older kernels?

I also updated to version 40 and I confirm what my TLE friend said, everything works well on Fedora 40, they have finally made Gnome's performance stable and it's about time I would say. I installed Chromium, I also found the favorites I had on version 87 which were obviously removed because there was no longer support as we all know. Except unfortunately I'm noticing that it has some bugs to fix unfortunately at the moment. I don't know if you too have had the opportunity to try Chromium but at least for me it crashes after a few minutes of use, at a certain point the browser freezes the hard disk starts loading who knows what and then Chromium closes at sudden. Fedora also detects an error on a component and obviously reports it automatically, so the first reports of malfunctions relating to Chromium on Fedora have already started. However, it's great that he's officially back on Fedora, that's what was needed too. Let's wait for them to start solving the first problems now.

Well then we can update without problems, it's nice to recover Chromium after years and that the system has finally stabilized regarding the general performance of GNOME.  The initial bugs on Fedora are nothing new, we know that we have to act as a test bed since it updates very quickly, I'm not worried about this in fact, they will fix it soon as usual.

What worries me most is the very large variance in SSD performance from version to version. Once it is 4.5 GB/s and the next time it can be even less than 1 GB/s. The best was in versions 6.2.x, there the SSD reading speed often exceeded 6 GB/s.

BTW.Does a machine reboot work properly in Fedora 40? With me on Fedora 39 since kernel 6.6.x, the system crashes after reboot, turns the fans on to the max and I have no video signal on the HDMI of the embedded card. I have to turn off Talos II from the Power button and turn it on again.
