How to downgrade mesa to an specific version?

Ask Fedora

The new Mesa 25.0.7-1 is glitching out some gnome apps.
Is there a way to downgrade mesa to specifically 25.0.6?
sudo dnf downgrade 'mesa*' --refresh wants to downgrade to 25.0.2-3.

Thank you in advance.

for a workaround see this comment.

otherwise if you still want to downgrade to 25.0.6

sudo dnf install fedora-repos-archive.noarch
sudo dnf config-manager setopt updates-archive.enabled=0

sudo dnf downgrade mesa\* --enable-repo=updates-archive

I believe that you may be able to use this command. (you may need to install the updates-archive repo for fedora first [commands following])

sudo dnf install fedora-repos-archive.noarch
sudo dnf config-manager setopt updates-archive.enabled=0

The second command sets it as disabled, and you would then enable it only when intending to use a package that has been superceded in updates but not as old as the original version when f42 was released (from the fedora repo).

sudo dnf downgrade 'mesa*25.0.6*' --enablerepo updates-archive

Someone else was having the exact same issue early early early this morning (way too early man), the issue was resolved and you can see the exact fix here: Certain apps not showing correctly after last update
