Did Fedora 40 break something for you? ( gehirneimer.de )

It's a solid release. The only thing that broke were some plasma widgets not yet available for KDE 6.

Plasma 5 to 6 with a long used setup went perfectly.

Fedora Atomic Plasma Workstation? I am in!

My upgrade went very smoothly. No issues.

Audio was a little flaky one time and creating virtual machines with TPM is broken unless you disable selinux

Had a sound issue: output device options only listed "Dummy Output" and nothing was listed for input devices. I eventually got my headset to be recognized again, but sadly couldn't tell you what did it, since I tried so many things and I lack proper understanding of the Linux sound scene.

Just in case it's useful to someone, here's a collection of ideas I found while working through the issue:

• Make sure wireplumber service is enabled and running OK
• Plug in an HDMI device and reboot (some people said this permanently fixed a similar issue)
• Backup, then delete $XDG_STATE_HOME/wireplumber and reboot
• Check if you have installed the packages:
  • kernel-modules
  • alsa-sof-firmware

Note, however, that I really don't understand what some of these do. You should be very wary of taking suggestions from people who don't know what they're talking about... unless you're desperate enough and want your sound back, perhaps.

...Also, here's a gentle reminder to test your sound device with other equipment and try different ports/adapters, if available. Wasn't my case, but sometimes stuff simply breaks at inopportune times.

I use fedora on my thinkbook with Gnome/PaperWM and my upgrade experience was ezpz.

No issues jumping straight from 37 server edition to 40.

I upgraded from 39 to 40 and I think the only issues I had were:

• Background I was using got removed, got a better one anyway
• A few gnome extensions stopped working and I had to update them or find an alternative
• Had to re-create virtual disk mapped to real disk for booting windows installation in virtual box (there is a sonicwall VPN I have to use for work which only works on Windows)

I think that was it!

I have had some strange behaviour from Firefox saying it's become unresponsive a few times and at the same time Thunderbird but that seems to have fixed itself now

• Background I was using got removed, got a better one anyway

I had that happen a few times. This time I downloaded those backgrounds again (from gnome-backgrounds repository). Still, it's pretty annoying to have this happen.

I upgraded just before the beta. Discovered a mutter crash, reported it, it was fixed in a day or so.

I decided to upgrade, and so far everything is working fine. I had some hiccups after the installation, but a reboot fixed all of them. Thanks for your input :)

Running Silverblue here and only one minor issue due to the wifi mac address changes and locking myself out of my network.

I also realised, that the upgrade didn't like it when Ihade packages removed from the base which resulted in broken dependencies.

After resetting it upgrading went without any glitch.
