Operating Systems and Porting / Re: [NEWS] Fedora 33 is out

« on: October 30, 2020, 02:34:23 am »

I just wanted to share some thoughts.

I'm a non-technical user, just an enthusiast of technology who bought this fancy and somewhat exotic computer based on a different architecture. Besides playing around and trying to learn new things beyond WinTel, I mainly use my Blackbird for business (mail, office, chromium).

I believe I am not the only one who is at most a power user. I've just learned a lesson, the hard way: do not try to do what you see these guys talking about.

So, this is the message I wanted to convey. If you're like myself just a user, be carefull not to try everything you read here.

I wrote on another post about training. I think that if Raptor wants to make their products popular (which I do not know for sure, maybe their market is more specific, like Universities/Researchers)., they should help educate their customers about their products.

Thank you all who posted here and helped me overcome these issues.

Hi cchinicz, I hope you solve your problems soon because it is a pity not to be able to take advantage of the new Fedora update.
Hi TLE excuseme, but you also installed Fedora 33 if I'm not mistaken, what can you tell us, did you also encounter problems similar to those of your friend cchinicz, or did you go smoothly without problems? The kernel always has the usual bugs for me Navi right? Let us know your first impressions ...

Hey MauryG5,

Your words inspired me.. I've remove epiphany package (I've searched and it is a web browser - I wont miss it...) and succeeded updating 700 packages.

Cheers

I wonder if you have a package installed that is a prereq but can't be updated itself. Is it all Epiphany (GNOME Web) packages?

It seems so, but I'm not a Linux guy.

I found this https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/564600/how-to-downgrade-from-fedora-31-to-fedora-30

Can I safely use this procedure to downgrade to F32?

Appreciate any feed-back.

Hi guys, sorry but how come you had to uninstall and reinstall this or that package, usually the old package is not always replaced with the new one when doing updates?  But not only on Linux I speak but in general.  It seems strange to me such a problem ...

Hey MauryG5,

I really do not know, but reinstalling fixed the issue with libre office.

What concerns me now is that I cannot apply updates because of the issue I report before (see below, I've copy/pasted here).

Any ideas how to fix the update issue?

Alternatively, how can I roll back to Fedora 32? I've searched but did not succeed. I'd better stay behind with F32 than with F33 which I cannot update.

Thanks

You can sometimes see this if somehow you managed to install a package twice (like if there was a crash and the transaction was partially committed). It should be safe to check this with something like `sudo dnf remove --duplicates`.

Hey Classic,

Did not work, a lot of "conflicting requests" as a result of the command. The error when updating still the same.

Any other ideas? any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

How about re-installing libreoffice? `sudo dnf remove libreoffice* && sudo dnf install libreoffice`?

Hey,

Worked! You saved my computer!! Thanks a lot!

What about the updates? Any ideas? as you wrote, there are conflicting versions preventing me to update the system/softwares.

Best Regards

How did you upgrade? It's seems to me you still have orphaned packages of FC 32 which causes conflicts

Hi,

I issued these commands:
1. sudo dnf upgrade --refresh
2. sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade
3. sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=33
4. sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot

Thanks

Hi Folks,

I'm desperate.. I found that other things got broken and I do not how to roll back.

Libre Office is broken and I tried to reinstall it but I'm getting this error:
Error: Transaction test error:
  file /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/opengl/fadeBlackFragmentShader.glsl from install of libreoffice-ogltrans-1:6.4.7.2-1.fc32.ppc64le conflicts with file from package libreoffice-core-1:7.0.2.2-1.fc33.ppc64le

Any help is welcome.

Source: https://fedoramagazine.org/announcing-fedora-33/

I tested it on my blackbird on the last weekend. Good news:

* Anaconda installer for the Workstation variant works out of the box
* GNOME Softwares 3.38 now works correctly - YAY!
* GNOME /w Xorg sometimes get sigfault with libc error, still unable how to re-produce it reliably yet

Hi,

I've just upgraded (no GPU card, just plain vanila Blackbird). After the upgrade KDE reports 645 packages that need to be upgraded, I push the button "Install Updates"  and get a bunch of error messages (see below).

Then I open console and issue sudo dnf update (or upgrade) and get this response:
[claudio@localhost ~]$ sudo dnf upgrade
warning: Found bdb Packages database while attempting sqlite backend: using bdb backend.
warning: Found bdb Packages database while attempting sqlite backend: using bdb backend.
Last metadata expiration check: 1:02:10 ago on Wed 28 Oct 2020 08:11:07 AM IST.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

Any ideas of what is going on? how to fix this?

Thanks

On Fedora: dnf search python3-idle

Great! Now it's working.

Hi,

Thanks for sending the link. I've downloaded python3-3.8.2-2.fc32.ppc64le.rpm and installed it but I do not see python-idle. I'm a bit lost, what am I missing? Is it already installed? how do I start it?

Regards

AFAIK python2 is retired in FC32, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RetirePython2

Can you use `python3-idle` instead?

Hi,

Sure, I'd rather use 3 instead of Python2. I found python3 idle for x86 but not for ppc64el. Would you know where I can find it?

Thanks

At least a RPM is available.

Graphical User Interface. Thanks

I think, tle knows what a GUI is

Hi, thanks for your reply and for referencing python-idle for ppc64el.

I've tried installing it but was missing dependencies (sudo rpm -U python-idle-2.7.18-2.2.ppc64le.rpm):
python-base = 2.7.18 is needed by python-idle-2.7.18-2.2.ppc64le
        python-tk is needed by python-idle-2.7.18-2.2.ppc64le

I could not find python-base for ppc64el although "Package python27-2.7.18-2.fc32.ppc64le is already installed." (I issued command sudo dnf install python2.7). Any ideas?

I did find python-tk but again ran into errors (udo rpm -U python-tk-2.7.18-2.ppc64le.rpm):
ile / from install of python-tk-2.7.18-2.ppc64le conflicts with file from package filesystem-3.14-2.fc32.ppc64le
        file /usr/lib from install of python-tk-2.7.18-2.ppc64le conflicts with file from package filesystem-3.14-2.fc32.ppc64le

Any ideas?

Thanks

The tk module? Or OP might be referring to the IDEs. Does Fedora not package idle-python for POWER?

Hi, I could not find idle-python in the Fedora ppc64el repo. Thanks
