Nodejs package, node command illegal instruction core dumped

Ask Fedora

Another topic, Many programs crash with `Illegal instruction (core dumped)`, incorrectly grouped two separate issues as the symptom was “illegal instruction, core dumped”, both in f40 beta. The qt6-based issue has apparently been resolved, but the solution for the nodejs package appears to still be a work in progress.

Illegal instruction (core dumped)

From the original topic,

As I said above, there are two bugs. The node bug is one thing . The qt bug is another thing. The node bug is already fixed in this update .

That note refers to nodejs20-20.12.1-3.fc40

The new updated version nodejs20-20.12.1-3.fc40 was the fix and has been already surpassed by nodejs20-20.12.2-1.fc40 but both haven’t shipped to stable yet, so you need to run sudo dnf upgrade nodejs --refresh --enablerepo=updates-testing to update to the fixed version.

Solution verified. Beta users will likely have had the updates-testing repo removed recently, so adding --enablerepo=updates-testing is needed as shown until F40 full release.
