I’m on f42 and did an update yesterday that is causing huge issues for my desktop.
Issue 1: Booting seems to take a bit longer than usual and once on the gnome login screen I cannot type my password. The keyboard is unresponsive (wired USB) but the mouse is fine (2.4wifi). After 1-2 minutes of waiting I’m finally able to enter my password and login.
Issue 2: Once in Gnome there is no bluetooth in the upper right panel. when I go to settings for bluetooth, it can’t be turned on and there is a message that I need a dongle.
PC worked flawlessly before the update. Unfortunately I have tried to dnf undo and dnf rollback, but I must have done something while investigating that prevents me from rollingback as it is throwing errors. While my keyboard is wired, the fact that it doesn’t work rightaway somehow makes me feel it might be colliding with bluetooth or something dbus related.
The Bluetooth from the MB is still not working but when I plug a dongle everything related to Bluetooth works. So it seems it is something that happened with the motherboard. I can’t quite recall but I think I also did a Fwupd update that day. Is there a way to check or roll fwupd back?
The keyboard not responding on the login screen for 1-2 minutes is still happening. I forgot to mention that before the login but after grub there are now 3 square dots on the screen. This leads me to think the amdgpu is messing things up.
Maybe it is a combination of issues: Bluetooth, AMDGPU, dbus? Any help?
I was able to fix the dots showing up during boot by going into grub and adding:
rd.driver.pre=amdgpu to my GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line.
and while the bluetooth is “fixed” by using the dongle rather than the on board bluetooth of the MB (B650i Lightning wifi), I still having the gnome login issue where the keyboard is unresponsive for a minute or two before I can enter my password.
Here is the journalctl log. Not sure how to pin point the keyboard login issue:
If you look closely, the rollback needs to download and install the previous version of the updated packages. These versions are only available in the archives repository. The fedora-repos-archive.noarch packages contains the configuration for the archives repository.
