I decided to try upgrading my Fedora to Fedora 39 (from 38)
I ran into a few issues already.
- I used the option from https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/#sect-performing-system-upgrade to download and upgrade the system using the “on boot” update. This then caused the
initrd
issue I’ve encountered before (https://blenderfox.com/2023/05/02/fedora-5/), I fixed that by booting up the previous version, then finding I couldn’t log in unless I picked “Gnome on XOrg”. - The breakage of Wayland login seemed to be related to Problems with wayland after updating to fedora 39 – Fedora Discussion. And interestingly was fixed in the same way: removing
~/.config/dconf/user
, logging out and then back in via Wayland. It completely reset my Gnome state, so all my custom docked shortcuts were gone and it offered to run me through the Gnome tutorial again - Running my ansible playbook to configure my machine again, seemed to run for the most part, but failed at installing a
pip
module — but that looks like a module build failure, not the playbook.
And now I discovered that there’s no F39 of VirtualBox yet, so I guess I’m rolling back for now….
