I will be removing @fedora 38 from the list of buildroots used in my cloud tools #COPR this evening (2024.05.14). Today is the release's EOL date, please migrate to #fedora39 or #fedora40 ASAP!
After letting #Fedora40 update itself my laptop wouldn’t boot, not even to the BIOS, luckily I had encountered this before with #Fedora39 back when it was pre-release.
The solution? Open up my laptop 💻 remove the hard drive, boot to BIOS, power off, reinstall the same hard drive, power on again.
This is the second time I’ve had this issue with a pre-release version.
Musste gerade feststellen, dass #GNOME45#Wetter nicht meine Stadt kennt. Wettervorhersagen aus einer ca 40km entfernten Großstadt finde ich nicht so prickelnd. Das konntest du mal besser 👉 @gnome

Lo these many years ago, at some unreasonable hour late in the evening, I finished some forgettable but I'm sure important task and stopped by Gafton's desk to ask if he had anything I could take off his plate, as we were closing in on our next release of Red Hat Linux. He pointed to some scribbles on his whiteboard at the left side of his desk and spelled them out, "pam_console". In a sentence or two, he sketched his idea for something to get rid of manually copying cookies and setting the display after invoking su, before you could run any graphical programs. In a moment, the whole structure was clear in my mind and it was just a matter of transcribing the code from my mind to my computer and debugging.
That was one of I don't remember how many all-nighters of that release, and by I think 6AM the following morning (Saturday maybe?) I had his idea working. Stephen Tweedie kindly did a security review and found a change I needed to make, but as of that RHL release, manually using xauth to copy cookies around and setting DISPLAY was unregrettable history.
I wish Gafton were still with us. Pour one out... 😢
PS. If you get the following error on Step 1: “Cannot pin staged deployment”, it just means that you already have an operating system update pending so just reboot (sudo reboot) to apply it and then carry out the major version upgrade.
(Basically, just ensure you have the latest version of Fedora 38 installed before updating to Fedora 39. Given the nature of Fedora Silverblue, that could likely be today’s version.) ;)
Smooth upgrade in a couple of minutes to Fedora Silverblue 39.
(And, if for some reason it hadn’t been, I could have rolled back to Fedora Silverblue 38 with a single gesture. Try that when a macOS upgrade gets borked. And yes, I’ve had macOS upgrades get borked*. Not fun.)
Hint: make sure there’s enough disk space before installing an upgrade or get ready for a world of hurt.
Thinking I might just have to do a fresh install of #Fedora39. No time to troubleshoot upgrade problems, sadly, and I just really want to use the new stuff. I guess I'm impatient and a bad FOSS user, but I'm telling myself I'll make up for it once I get some commissions done and can toss a few bucks towards projects I like.
Guys I truly don’t mean to spam the community but these are legit questions. Yesterday I posted about linux compatibility and computers and every single person gave me knowledge to use and you’re all awesome....
Ubuntu 23.10 & Fedora 39, both running Gnome of all things (eye roll) run just fine on my late 2009 iMac (iMac 10,1)
nb : Fedora 39 has an installation bug. Installing Fedora 38 minimal then upgrading to 39 is the simplest solution. Kudos as usual to Canonical for shipping a trouble free install on Mac.
Questions about stability and Nvidia performance on vanilla Fedora (Gnome) vs KDE
Hi! I have some newb-ish questions, and I was hoping some Fedora veterans could help me out....
Are older, but Linux compatible computers capable of running the newest kernel/version of various distros?
