After I updated my computer a week ago most fedora-workstation apps were not functional anymore. I saw just wite squares, sometimes with a part of a green rectangle/square above the white square. So, no images or letters were on these squares, just blank squares.
My solution was, ok, then I just reinstall fedora workstation. When I tried to do that I saw a the following ‘Anaconda is unable to create /vart/run/anaconda.pid because the file already exists. Anaconda is already running, or a previous instance of anaconda has crashed.’
I don’t know if these two problems have the same origin.
Anyway, I did the reinstallation. First on sda. That did not fix the first problem. When updating, the same problem occured with the blank squares. Later on I tried it again on sdb. Same anaconda message. Then I tried to reinstall workstation for the third of fourth time, now again on sda. In this instance I did not get the mentioned anaconda message.
So, now I am working on fedora 41 and only updated firefox via terminal. So, I did not do system updates etc.
Yes, that should give you the fixed version, and then you’ll need to reboot. If that works, please login to bodhi and give positive karma (a thumbs up) to the update. When it gets +3 karma, it gets pushed to all users as well, so it needs 1 more.
