Distro upgrade: toolbox and rpmfusion

[wosrediinanatour (Florian Xaver)]

Dear all!

Upgrade went smooth, except these two points:

• Using repos as rpmfusion breaks the upgrade (layering is needed for e.g. Youtube videos in Firefox)
• Toolbox: how do you easily upgrade a toolbox? It is not user friendly: you cannot enter your »old« toolbox after an upgrade and havej to perform an upgrade of the software in the toolbox container manually. A new toolbox command like toolbox upgrade for such a use case would be very good.

Cheers Florian

Hi Florian,

I understood for the toolbox upgrade it depends on podman as per this old post:

How to rename or migrate a toolbox to Fedora 32?

Hi there, I’ve successfully migrate from Silverblue 31 to 32. This version is great, thank you ! The only small issue I would like to get a solution is how to migrate my old toolbox. Indeed, when I try to enter it point to the old one, see below message: toolbox: container fedora-toolbox-32 not found Entering container fedora-toolbox-31 instead. Use the 'create' command to create a different toolbox. Try 'toolbox --help' for more information. Thank you in advance for your help

I don’t know if there is an update on podman.

Pierre

You can always enter your old toolbox by specifying its name directly: toolbox enter fedora-toolbox-33

I’m not using any layering and I can watch all videos on Youtube using the version of Firefox included in Silverblue.

OTOH I cannot watch videos on other video sharing websites (e.g. Vimeo). For those websites usually Firefox (or Chromium) flatpaks work fine.
