After update system freezes when gaming

Ask Fedora

I don’t remember everything in the update but there was some mesa, systemd, qemu, and firefox. I updated from gnome-software so I can’t dnf history undo. I’d like to play some video games tho so any ideas?

Statistically from reading here I type on mesa. Try to downgrade mesa and see if system still freezes.

If this is a workaround for you, please report the issue, while giving more information about your system.

How do I downgrade? I can’t do dnf history undo because I updated from gnome-software/packagekit

This command not exists. You can use dnf history for:

$  dnf history --help
Usage:
  dnf5 [GLOBAL OPTIONS] history <COMMAND> ...
                                
Query Commands:                 
  list                          List transactions
  info                          Print details about transactions
                                
Software Management Commands:   
  store                         [experimental] Store transaction to a file

This means, you need to fill up the history with using dnf. But you can check the updates here:

The commandline tool for packagekit is pkcon but unfortunately I can not help with that. Sorry.

With dnf you can downgrade a package like:
sudo dnf downgrade mesa-24.2.8-1.fc41

I just made a guess with the Fedora version alias package name, you not mentioned it.

This still would be interesting … i guess you are using a Nvidia GPU right?
