BentiGorlich OP , in Did Fedora 40 break something for you?
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

I decided to upgrade, and so far everything is working fine. I had some hiccups after the installation, but a reboot fixed all of them. Thanks for your input :)

mfat , in Did Fedora 40 break something for you?

It's a solid release. The only thing that broke were some plasma widgets not yet available for KDE 6.

Can you tell us which GPU and driver versions?

I've been alright here so far with fedora workstation and silverblue, on both NV21 and Cezanne (amdgpu+mesa, no amdgpu-pro or amdvlk)

BentiGorlich OP ,
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

nvidia RTX 2070 super. But that was from 38 to 39. I am not on 40 yet

jjlinux , in Did Fedora 40 break something for you?

Absolutely. It broke any leftover intention of ever trying Ubuntu again.

Nope, not at all. Silverblue here (GNOME), and the upgrade went smooth, nvidia drivers and all.

very nice

I have had a LOT of issues, but they're mostly of the papercut variety - and most of them have to do with Plasma 6 rather than Fedora 40 itself (at least I think so).

I think my CPU is running hotter on 40 than it was on 39, though.

BentiGorlich OP ,
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

That doesn't sound promising, though I am using Gnome, so at least my DE is not getting the biggest upgrade :)

Everything went smooth for me though my install is fairly pedestrian.

theshatterstone54 , in Did Fedora 40 break something for you?

Yes. Numerous COPR repos not updated aside, my sddm theme broke and doesn't detect Qtgraphicaleffects (which is installed). You know what the weirdest part is? There are 2 "dependencies" for the theme: quickcontrols and graphicaleffects, and luckily, quickcontrols was detected properly. I ended up rewriting the theme, and while it works, it is far from where it needs to be. Safe to say, I'm very annoyed.

Edit: I actually did a clean install, as I tried some other distros a few days before F40 released.

electro1 , in Did Fedora 40 break something for you?
@electro1@infosec.pub avatar

Yes, Nvidia drivers broke, I had to remove and reinstall them, ( don't forget to reboot )

Edit: oh, and also my widgets broke, even ones that are made by KDE...

Also ClearClock is broken because it doesn't work on KDE 6

BentiGorlich OP ,
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

I definitely don't want to deal with that. Last time that happened I had to do a clean install which is just pain imo XD

phanto , in Did Fedora 40 break something for you?

I had to depmod -a, before then my gaming was messed up.

BentiGorlich OP ,
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

what does depmod -a do?

@BRINGit34@lemmygrad.ml avatar

I have had zero issues on my desktop. And on my laptop I have way better battery performance. Mind you both are using AMD graphics

BentiGorlich OP ,
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

Are you using KDE or Gnome?

BRINGit34 ,
@BRINGit34@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Just vanilla gnome. I'm pretty basic

BentiGorlich OP ,
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

Nice though. Sounds like I can do the upgrade 😁

nfsu2 , in [Fixed] Mouse Cursor jumps around
@nfsu2@feddit.cl avatar

hmm, that does not feel like it is a bug, I am not runnig Gnome but a Window Manager and there is a configuration were you can enable/disable that exact behaviour and it is called mouse warping.
You should check your setting for something like that or in Forums online.

BentiGorlich OP ,
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

Omg you're right, I am using the Forge extension and that had a setting for it, thank you :)

nfsu2 ,
@nfsu2@feddit.cl avatar

kein problem

CouncilOfFriends , in [Fixed] Mouse Cursor jumps around

I don't run gnome myself but I asked AI and there may be a setting:

  1. Open the GNOME Control Center (you can search for "Control Center" in the Activities overview).
  2. Navigate to the "Desktop" section.
  3. Click on the "Keyboard" settings.
  4. Scroll down to the "Visualization" section.
  5. Uncheck the option labeled "Control pointer with keyboard focus."
BentiGorlich OP ,
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

My Gnome is in German and I do not know which point is meant by "Desktop":

CouncilOfFriends ,

The AI lied to me, as I booted a Fedora/Gnome VM and couldn't find that option. My only other guess would be maybe an extension like this was installed and forgotten about because I tend to do that

BentiGorlich OP ,
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

i installes forge (gnome tiling manager) and that had an option for it

lurch , in Mm.. can someone help?

just restore the backup you made like reasonable people do

melroy ,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

What is a backup?

oo1 ,

Is it that wierd little box thing that you have to take out of your smoke alarm to stop it beeping?

melroy ,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

I hate smoke alarms, especially since I have Tinnitus. So indeed I throw those away.

Petter1 , in Mm.. can someone help?

I’d boot on ArchISO, get all data I need to a external drive and install Arch from scratch, btw

melroy ,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Try Void Linux.

Petter1 ,

Why should I?

merthyr1831 ,

it's a great distro for installing Gentoo Linux btw

Petter1 ,

Oh, well I’m not quite interested in that right now, I have chosen Arch because I like the wiki and that you find so many packages in the AUR which are easy findable and installable using yay

melroy ,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Understood. I'm also maintainer of several AUR packages.

Petter1 ,

🫡thank you for your service! I hope, one day I can do so myself as well
