Back to hang on fetching updates after todays updates

updated to Fedora 45, because fedora 44, kept hanging on fetching updates for a week. Everything worked fine better than fedora 44. just added new update today on 06-28-2026, now back to hanging on fetchinh updates.

Are you on KDE or Gnome?
Are you updating via gui?
If so I would recommend trying the command line

sudo dnf upgrade --refresh

If you have flatpaks ..

flatpak update 

If you’re on KDE and updating via GUI I’d suggest looking through this thread and the upstream bug(s)

Thanks and welcome to :fedora:

New to the entire system. using Fedora 45, kde, plasma. using discover to check for updates.
just used the above upgrade again after getting 22 updates, this is the response,

Nothing to do.

Will try the flat pack update next. Is there a reason this seems to be a recurring issue with different versions of Fedora?

The discover issue is a a new issue and is being discussed here
It’s broken in both F44 and F45.

I’m not sure what’s causing the conflict the the nvidia drivers.

You can try doing sudo dnf upgrade --refresh --allowerasing

Fedora 45 is the current development branch (rawhide) so unless you’re comfortable with things breaking you should probably re-install f44.

Thanks for the help. I will read through the link you provided. New to all this, I think I need to do a lot more reading on how to use the system, I just kinda jumped into the deep and of the pool.

Any advice as to what sources to use to try to get update on the Fedora systems basic use, other then here? again Thanks for the help

Discover and Gnome Software have both gotten much better but most of us “old” folks use the command line for everything because it has been the old reliable way.

sudo dnf upgrade --refresh
flatpak update

Fedora documents for fedora specific stuff

The Arch wiki is an awesome resource for linux in general

If you’re hunting for bugs ..
Fedora bugs

KDE bugs

Gnome bugs

It’s probably easier for the gnome bugs to hunt thru the individual projects boards vice all of them .. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME

And feel free to ask here!
:slight_smile:

And linking a post with some additional recommendations. Need help with understanding native linux - #2 by pg-tips

Thank you for making my first encounter with this platform a less daunting experience. I will take your advice and start reading up from the various links you provided, well as I always say “Rome didn’t burn in a day” , so I will be busy catching up.

Note fedora 45 has not been released yet.

You are running code that is still being worked on and may break you.
Also we have less experience with issues you may encounter.

If you want to avoid this install fedora 44.

It likely you have network issues not software issues.

If it’s hanging when updating from Discover but not from the command line, it’s probably this issue.

You are running the rawhide version, which is development, and also using the nvidia driver for older nvidia gpus. That is a mismatch between repos and a recipe for problems.

I suggest that you instead use the latest released version (44) of fedora and avoid the sometimes frequent problems that may appear with a development chain of software.

This NVIDIA driver conflict… I just got it today after updating :angry:.

It seems that xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-580xx-3:580.167.08-1.fc44.x86_64 from rpmfusion-nonfree-updates has dependencies that are just not in the rpmfusion repos yet, causing a bunch of spam whenever I run updates.

Should this just be a case of waiting until the rpmfusion repos provide the necessary dependency versions?

Edit: Found the relevant discussion post: Conflicts after new update of nvidia-580xx was released

Found this answer that worked. Also problem existed on 44 till after one of the system security updates on 44. 45 worked, till another security update on 45.

“sudo dnf remove plasma-discover-snap” does the job - discover working again.

Link to resolution that worked.
