Nothing to do.

Should I be worried or can I just sit back and wait for a new update which will resolve these issues? Maybe it needs to be reported? I’m new to the Fedora community, I have no idea how these things work.

Both my CPU and GPU are AMD, btw.

Can you replace the screen shots please?

Done, I think.

It’s normal and you need to wait. mesa drivers from RPM Fusion are still at version 25.0.0, while other Mesa drivers from Fedora have been updated to 25.0.1, so part of the update is skipped.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

I’d also like to mention that on my other PC, which runs F41 as well, but is equipped with an Nvidia GPU, the update process went smoothly. No errors or warnings of any kind. So I guess, at least this time, that the problem is with AMD GPU drivers only.

No, it occurs on all systems that use rpmfusion’s two freeworld packages of mesa rather than the default packages (same name, but without freeworld). The freeworld packages are from a third party repo (rpmfusion), not from our default repos.

The freeworld packages are not much different than the default ones at Fedora, but they add patented stuff that adds some capabilities (mostly hw acceleration for, e.g., h264).

Replacing the default with freeworld packages makes the remaining mesa packages dependent on the freeworld ones, and since rpmfusion is usually a little behind given the lower contribution and help in testing, the two of rpmfusion take a few days more until they are pushed to stable. Until then, the remaining mesa packages need to wait.

If your other system does not experience that issue, I assume it does not use rpmfusion’s freworld packages of mesa but the default ones of Fedora. Keep in mind that neither rpmfusion nor the freeworld packages are enabled by default on any fedora. I assume you (or someone else?) did only enable them on the one system that experiences the issue :classic_smiley:

However, as already said by yuntaz, it will resolve itself after a few days.

Yeah, I think I forgot to switch the other PC to the freeworld packages.

Thanks.

Correction, I didn’t forget, I was simply following the official instructions for Nvidia and skipped the AMD section:

Thanks but I already saw it here: https://rpmfusion.ip-connect.info/free/fedora/updates/testing/41/x86_64/repoview/index.html

Different package / driver :slight_smile: But it indeed seems that a different type of solution is used for that issue when it has to work along with the nvidia driver :open_mouth:

Not wanna go side tangent here, but what is missing in non-freeworld mesa?

20

one example is hw acceleration of h264, which you can verify in firefox’s about:support → hardware h264 is supported with freeworld, but without it is only software h264.

Freeworld contains the stuff that cannot be in Fedora due to patent relations or license issues.

I assume there are further comparable cases like h264. So video and audio codecs/standards are “vulnerable” to patent/license issues.
