It's a slow day here at work. So I decided to embrace being an agent of chaos and update my main system to Fedora 40 on day one of release.

Time will tell if today remains a slow day.

(Remember to always backup your systems before an update, kids)

The kernel-core scriptlet sure seems to be taking its time ... Been stuck here for about 15 minutes ....

Turns out the proprietary Nvidia A2000 GPU driver isn't happy. Who could have guessed...

Which gives me a nice excuse to get rid of Gnome and see how the KDE spin installs!

Time to do a fresh install then move all my old data and home folder to the clean install.

Thanks @fedora for making a slow day eventful and fun 😊

@fedora

Does anyone know why the job packagekit-offline.service/start has been running for 12+ minutes after a clean install?

What chu doin' there Fedora?

Someone mentioned this yesterday, but apparently Fedora turned on the boot-time security update / upgrade feature of packagekit.

Oh, nice. Anyway to know if it was actually hung or just taking its sweet time? I decided to just reinstall again. That way I can look at the system before running an update.

@Keionys @fedora
I am not aware of any way to monitor it save watching logs.

Kinda what I figured. Just gonna disable automatic system updates from discover and run the updates through dnf. See if that helps.

Not a fedora person, but you got me curious so now I am downloading it to my homelab.

@Keionys @fedora
Server edition didn't do it, but when I ran dnf update there were over 100 packages to be updated / installed. With the load their servers and CDNs must be under right now, I am gonna guess it would have taken quite a bit longer than most administrators / end users are comfortable waiting on a fresh install.

@Keionys @fedora
Well I didn't find a good log to monitor it, but I was able to confirm that it really is updating the system and the updates were pretty time consuming.

From what I'm seeing the update goes through. But when I makes a new init image it freezes.

I can't run just a dracut without it just stalling.

Gonna try a new ISO image to see if it makes a different (probably won't, but worth a shot).

I used the live workstation image and told it to do the install. After first boot, packagekit ran for about 30ish minutes, and then another 5ish minutes when I used the UI to perform a poweroff as there were more updates still.

I wonder if it's waiting on the proccess to finish before it can complete. Might be a theory. I think I'm gonna just let it sit overnight and see if it completes. If not, we roll back to 39 and wait for a few fixes. Or give a Debian install a shot.

fedora,

@Keionys good luck with the Fedora 40 upgrade. Debian is also a great place to land. :)
