HI everyone,

Ever since 6.11 dropped, my monitor will not go into power saving mode. it will attempt to do it, for about 5 seconds, then the monitor will turn right back on. This has happened on every upgrade of the 6.11 kernel, up to the most recent 6.11.6.

I'm not sure what the issue is, as it works perfectly fine with 6.10.12

For context, running ryzen 3 CPU with an old, old radeon GPU for main desktop (i have another radeon GPU installed that is used for GPU passthrough).

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this so i can run the current 6.11.6 kernel, instead of using 6.10.12.

If you need any logs or anything, please just ask.

Thanks

Hey as a developer I find myself spinning up 4 or 5 containers along with Idea running a sprinboot app. I am sporting a new AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics with 32 GBs DDR5. I am on Fedora 41 KDE, which I am really liking.

I have feeling that my old M1 pro is much quicker. Is that even possible? Like staring, debugging is very clunky and my RAM isnt fully used (on avg 25 GB used)

Is there any way to style Qt-based (flatpak) apps in Gnome to look less... bad?

At least as a bare minimum I'd like to have

• matching cursor theme
• dark style

So far I've tried:

• installed qgnomeplatform-qt5 and qgnomeplatform-qt6
• set QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=‘gnome’ and QT_WAYLAND_DECORATION=adwaita

but nothing's changed.

This is Gwenview on Gnome. Both the theme and the cursor are wrong.

I am following the docs(https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/) because the download fedora 41 button doesn't appear in the software center.

On the seconds step I ran sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=41, but got this error

Failed to resolve the transaction:

Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: NetworkManager, grub2-tools-minimal, selinux-policy-targeted, setup, sudo, systemd, systemd-udev

And I am stuck now.

I already have postgresql installed. What I did after was:

sudo dnf install pgadmin4

It said it was complete and gave me no errors. But when I tried running it, the command was not found.

I also ran

~ ❯❯❯ rpm -ql pgadmin4 | grep pgadmin4\$
/usr/lib/pgadmin4
/usr/share/doc/pgadmin4
/usr/share/licenses/pgadmin4

What did I do wrong?

Hello, fellow Fedora gamers! I recently upgraded to Fedora 41, but unfortunately, I had to revert back to version 40. In Overwatch, when I pressed the "C" key to open the communication menu, my mouse wouldn’t center itself in the middle of the selection wheel as it should. Instead, it behaved like it was in a regular windowed mode, staying in place. For example, if I selected an option in the top left, the next time I pressed "C" to make another selection, the mouse was still in the top-left corner rather than resetting to the center of the wheel.

I wanted to mention this in case anyone else who plays Overwatch is considering upgrading.

I've been running Fedora 40 on an upgraded Lenovo m720q SFF (1L) PC with an AMD RX6400 for several months. The Fedora experience has been great but the PC itself is underpowered for dual 4K + 1080p monitors and lacks the snappiness of a more power computer.

I admit I don't fully know what was changed in Fedora 41 but in daily usage it FEELS so much snappier. Especially loading web pages which is mostly what this PC does. Also the fans don't ramp up nearly as often nor as loudly as it did on Fedora 40.

Anyway that's all I wanted to say. I liked it so much I had to tell someone about it.

Fedora Linux 41, Plasma 6.2.3, Kernel 6.11.6-300

Since upgrading from Fedora 40 to 41 (and subsequent updates), my system seems to hang when doing the reboot while installing updates from Discover. It downloads the updates, shuts down the system, then shows the motherboard logo screen with a spinner, after about 60-90 seconds, the spinner disappears and the logo screen just sits there. If I do a hard reset, the system restarts, then goes to the kernel screen, and then the "Installing Updates" screen and then proceeds to the plasma login screen normally.

My system reboots normally if I tell it to by any other means.

I can decisively pinpoint the first occurence of this behavior as starting after upgrading to Fedora 41. My upgrade went fine (afaik) and my system generally runs okay otherwise. I've glanced at logs, but haven't seen anything that clues me in.

Can anyone tell me if this is known bug, offer any troubleshooting tips, or a solution?

Hi, wonder if anyone can help me, im using the latest Fedora and got my docking station working by installing the DisplayLink drivers, which is great, but when I undock the laptop, any app windows that were on the other screens dont return back to the main screen and I cant access them. Anyone know how I can force all the windows back onto the main screen again?

After experimenting with linux for 6 months I think I can do my work just fine. But I have broken things a lot of things. Found a lot of things tedious. Therefore need your ultimate tips and automation suggestions.

Not sure what I did wrong. I did select btrfs as filesystem. And created a seperate partition for home

HI everyone, I've been using fedora for a month by now. I've found interesting apps on the store. I just wonder if for some reason I wanna format my laptop or change its SSD drive, is there something as a account to keep the apps you've installed as history so you can go back and pick them up from the list?

or are other ways to do it?
THanks in advance

Well, In the usual Flatpak update I had, I think it was, VaInfo or VaApi as old packaged that reached EOL, so I uninstalled and re installed the newew versions, but that seems to broke the Spotify flatpak client.
I uninstalled and re installed it, but nothing happens.

Ah, btw It was in Fedora 40, now after the upgrade to 41 it's the same.

why tips or issues I should anticipate and how did you resolve them? what sort of package is it - flathub or an appimag?

running: fedora 41, gnome 47, GPU Nvidia

Im using Fedora 41. Following RPM Fusions suggestion to mark "akmod-nvidia" so that "dnf autoremove" doesn't delete anything, I get this error:

Unknown argument "install" for command "mark". Add "--help" for more information about the arguments.

Does anyone happen to know what the fix is for this? I'm guessing the arguments have changed now in Fedora 40 for the "mark" command and the RPM Fusions howto hasn't been updated regarding this subject.

I love Fedora. it feels great on my laptop. But my WiFi driver rtl8188ee has terrible support on presumably all distros. The WiFi works at home, but it doesn't detect my school WiFi. I tried searching online but it didn't help. Got any suggestions?

I would like to know if the new version of Fedora is already stable, because it was released very recently. I'm pretending to use the new version, but I don't know if I'm gonna see too much bugs and problems

My story is that I jus started Linux (fedora) yesterday. I'm a computer science major and have been stuggling learning how to code. I bought a thinkpad t480 for 125 dollars yesterday. Upgraded the ram to 64gb and I'm going to use it to strictly to learn how to code. My first instict was to get linux and I did. took my like 30 mins to download it, then took me a few more minutes to get youtube to wok but it was a great process. Anyways any advice on what I should learn about Linux or what I should do first since i'm on a fresh install. First thing I did was update the kernel change the font to minecraft font lol.

Anyone know any good YT to MP3 downloaders on fedora?

Hello everyone ! I was using fedora 40 for couple of months and I upgraded to 41 today. And tonight I noticed that the terminal looks in a very bad state and not able to see anything clearly, not able to see what I'm typing in that terminal.

Even the attached screenshot not capturing the issue clearly , feels like the terminal is glitching and im not able to see anything clearly . Im not at all able to use the terminal.

I restarted the system multiple times and updated by using "sudo dnf update" and still this issue is not gone.

In fedora 40 itself I have installed zsh and it was working fine , this is the only thing I installed for the default terminal.

Anyone facing the same issue or please guide me how I can resolve this issue ?

Fedora 41 (upgraded from fedora 40) - I keep getting these notifications saying I have n updates.

I have an update plan already and its not as if you can click on the notifications.

Any way to stop them?

Because Fedora 41 is out, a lot of people is going to Fedora 41.

However, I have a question. Here it goes the poll.

If you could elaborate the reason on the comment section, that would be great. Thank you so much for the discussion.

View Poll

I get these all the time after upgrading. Why? What to do? Did not have them before:

SELinux is preventing sh from open access on the file /etc/passwd.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that sh should be allowed open access on the passwd file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'sh' --raw | audit2allow -M my-sh
# semodule -X 300 -i my-sh.pp

Hello! I'm running Fedora 41. A few years ago when I looked into low latency kernels, it seemed there was an actual built kernel designated as low latency.

And now, if I'm reading correctly, using low latency is as easy as kernel boot commands.

If this is the case, can someone point me to the correct, current commands to do this? Or... set me straight if I'm way off base.

Thanks.

I never made the move from 39 to 40 on one of my machines. With the release of 41 I figure I should probably stop slacking and get on it...

Are there any special considerations/things I need to keep an eye out for when performing a multi-version upgrade like this? Or should it be more as less the same as a single version upgrade?

As always never had issue with following the guide:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/

All of my Fedora images updated correctly aside from one:

Any thoughts or ideas on correcting?
