Update f43 to f44 not completed and blackscreen on reboot

noxensk · August 31, 2026, 8:46pm

Hello, its been several months now that im looking away at this problem. But I finally have the courage to solve it now, over the months I’ve tried several things but I don’t really remember now.

The problem is, I did the upgrade to f44 and when my system booted I only had a black screen.

During my research I found a post that said to change the login screen GUI to have the interface back. Which I did, and now I can login.

Since I’m still in the same situation and never had the courage to dig into it. I think the update is partially done, but also my dnf is now broken. I’d like to get back to a clean install with the most updated and available nvidia driver.

Note that I have a gtx1060 and I came across this post

But again I don’t have dnf5.

I’ve tried to follow this post also

Thinking that it might help solving my dnf5 issue but it did not.

If you need more infos let me know and thanks for helping me in advance

Based on this comment in the bug report about the dnf5 issue, what happens if you try:

DNF5_PLUGINS_DIR=/dev/null sudo dnf -v

noxensk · August 31, 2026, 9:23pm

Here is the output:

Also doing it with dnf4 I’m seeing two versions, I don’t know if that’s normal:

OK good. So it seems like dnf does work (without plugin functionality) if you precede your commands by DNF5_PLUGINS_DIR=/dev/null. That should make it easier to repair things.

Not exactly normal. But not surprising in these circumstances where an upgrade doesn’t properly complete.

The command in this post often helps to fix it. In your case you could try

DNF5_PLUGINS_DIR=/dev/null sudo dnf distro-sync \
    --refresh \
    --releasever=44 \
    --allowerasing \
    --skip-broken \
    --setopt=protected_packages=

For some reasons it seems I can’t use sudo with this command:

How about this:

Manage to run this, do I continue the execution like this ?

Hmm, so /var/tmp has gone read-only.

It would be useful to check free disk space (df -h) but other than that, I don’t have great ideas sorry. Someone smarter than me will probably know how to investigate other causes though!

No problem, thanks for your help !

That 90% usage on a BTRFS partition might be a bit uncomfortable. However, if that was the issue then maybe you’d have problems even booting the machine - but I don’t know for sure.

The dnf operation should have had no effect on the installed packages, since it couldn’t complete the transaction.

However it might be useful to try to free some space by cleaning up the dnf cache.

sudo DNF5_PLUGINS_DIR=/dev/null dnf clean all

Hi, thanks for your reply. I managed to make some space with your command and ran this one again:

sudo DNF5_PLUGINS_DIR=/dev/null dnf distro-sync \
    --refresh \
    --releasever=44 \
    --allowerasing \
    --skip-broken \
    --setopt=protected_packages=

I guess that makes sense if the whole fs is read-only… OK, let’s see if people with more BTRFS knowledge have ideas on how to proceed.

vgaetera · September 1, 2026, 12:28am

You can try removing something immediately after remounting:

sudo mount -o remount,rw / && sudo rm -f -R /path/to/files

If the issue persists, try again in a live session, or try expanding it:

Please show us the output from sudo btrfs fi usage /. Storage space may be limited due to having a bunch of F43 packages. You could try removing the i686 packages — they should not be needed for basic Fedora 44 tasks and can be added back once the update is complete and you have more free space.

Hi, now that I think about it it is strange that I don’t have any storage space left, I don’t remember having any space related problems on this device

pls check the complete output whether these x86_64 packages were downloaded

libseccomp-2.6.1-2.fc44.x86_64
libtiff-4.7.2-1.fc44.x86_64
p11-kit-0.26.5-1.fc44.x86_64

device unallocated is the important line. BTRFS requires available chunks – of 1GB each – for COW ( Copy On Write).

noxensk · September 1, 2026, 3:08pm

Sorry how to check that those packages are downloaded ?

Also I had to turn off the device, now it seems like the system is not read-only, I can create and delete files. It seems like some things been updated.
