Hey, currently i am on fedora 42. And I have full of dependencies downloaded in my system. When i opened the flatpack software for updates it is showing me the newest version of fedora 43. Which i can download from there. So i had a question regarding that. If i can download 43 version from there, then will it effect my system configuration or downloaded software and libraries and dependencies?
If it is safe then i will download that now.
Sorry, Iâm not quite clear on what you are asking. The update notification you are seeing will update your whole systemâall the packages, and all the dependenciesâto Fedora 43 versions. It does not âdownload F43â, it looks at what packages you have installed and only downloads updates based on them.
What do you mean by âflatpack software for updatesâ? Gnome-software? It isnât a Flatpakâitâs a system tool that supports installing/updating Flatpaks.
As you can see in this SS, i am getting this in my system, like there is software updater in fedora 42 preinstalled available. I am getting this notification in that. So i was asking that if i do that, then what it could effect in my system?
It will update your system fully to F43.
The Software Centre update should work.
Most things should be fine, but there is always a small risk updating.
Some things like Wine may prevent update and need to be removed and then added back.
Will it remote my existing configuration and softwareâs after updating?
I donât understand, can you say that in a different way?
Oh remove?
It should keep most of your configuration and software. Sometimes some things are updated and it can change - but not usually.
It will update the system, not reinstall it, if that is what you are asking. Your installed software and your files should all stay nice and safe.
Still, again with the caveat: it may go wrong. So make sure the backup of your personal data is fully up-to-date before initiating the upgrade.
I did this, and now i cant boot into Fedora and Iâm not the only one experiencing this. Just saying that it does break
Sure, it can happen, which is why backing up is highly recommended. Have you opened a topic about your issue? We can usually figure out what went wrong and try to fix it.
Yep I have. I got it to boot into rescue mode and looked through the journal but tbh I donât know what Iâm supposed to look for
Letâs debug it in the thread youâve opened so that we donât hijack this one here.
