Fedora 32 pre-beta (including issues & workarounds)

After re-basing my personal computer from Silverblue 31 to 32 I am getting results that line up more with you have seen @garrett. Not sure why I had issues, but my previous results were based on a fresh install (in a VM), not a re-based version running on a real PC, like I am testing on now.

  • msdos formatted thumb drive is readable (still requires exfat-utils fuse-exfat installed as you said, for now)
  • Evolution, gnome-calendar are working with Nextcloud calendars and tasks via GOA.
  • For me Gnome-contacts (3.34.1) is working with Nextcloud contacts. I don’t use Google contacts and it looks like I am on an older version (from the Fedora repo). Also have not fully tested syncing/updating contacts yet.

however…

  • Gnome-todo is not working (still with Nextcloud sync). Hangs around forever after starting trying to load task lists and finally the app crashes.

Couple of general comments. With Gnome-tweaks now out-of-favour, having to manually setup auto-starting for apps (for example the Nextcloud client) is a pain. I also had RPM Fusion issues during the re-base as I use a number of layered apps from there. Deleting the repo and apps before being able to successfully re-base to 32, followed by a re-install of RPM Fusion and apps is also a pain.
