[NEWS] Fedora 33 is out

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 everyone, I read that day 27 of this month and so next week, Fedora 33 will be released in the final version. Do you know anything if the problem of Navi 10 and Nano graphic cards on Kernel has been finally solved? I'm not seeing any news about it yet and in the meantime the Kernel has arrived at 5.8.16 and I'm still not downloading it until I have sure news about how it works...

I am still running crashed amdgpu module with kernel 5.8.16. You can give FC33 a go by installing the last known-working kernel RPM package of FC32 on it

Hi TLE, unfortunately I have recently tried the 5.8.16 Kernel with Fedora 32 but it still doesn't work for me ... incredible I don't understand ....

[tle]

we could only hope that amdgpu core team would revisit our lodged tickets

[MauryG5]

I wrote to them again, I hope they read and do something, too long now we are plagued by this problem. From what I guess, even your Nano still suffers from the bug ... Today they released Fedora 33 as well apparently, in final version, I still haven't turned on the computer to see if it has arrived.

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

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.

Thanks

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

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

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

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 ...
