upgrade was done with
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=44 --allowerasing --best
during this a saw I need to de-install firefox and I thought it would be easy to re-install.
nada !
sudo dnf install firefox
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
Failed to resolve the transaction:
Problem: conflicting requests
- package firefox-148.0-1.fc44.x86_64 from fedora requires (mozilla-openh264 >= 2.1.1 if openh264), but none of the providers can be installed
- package firefox-148.0-1.fc44.x86_64 from updates-testing requires (mozilla-openh264 >= 2.1.1 if openh264), but none of the providers can be installed
- problem with installed package
You can try to add to command line:
--skip-broken to skip uninstallable packages
tried to exchange openh264 with noopenh264
also f**ck cause gnome-shell-50~rc-1.fc44.x86_64 and some others are bundled with openh264.
tried to get F43 packages as an workaround.
turns out: packages are not downloadable
see https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2670904
dropped an email to Wim Taymans <wtaymans(a)redhat.com> cause there is no F44 openh264 package
known ?
ideas ?

Hi folks!
We have a somewhat awkward proposed blocker for F44 Final:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2359799
The bug is that gnome-initial-setup can hang on the timezone setup
screen. This seems to happen only on some NVIDIA hardware.
There have been multiple reports of this on F42 and F43, but we have
not yet seen a report on F44. We're not sure if it's magically fixed in
F44, or just nobody with an affected system has tried it yet.
None of us on the RH team seem to have affected hardware,
unfortunately.
It would be great if more folks with NVIDIA hardware can test this.
Unfortunately, you can't test in a virtual machine, and you can't
really test on a live boot - I suppose you could hack things up to run
g-i-s directly in the live environment, but we're not absolutely sure
that would reproduce the bug. You sort of have to do a real install to
the hardware and boot to gnome-initial-setup to see the bug. So you
have to be happy to reinstall your system now, or do a dual boot
install, or have a test box with NVIDIA on it, or something. Please
don't do this testing on your production system if you're not sure
you're OK to install an F44 pre-release on it!
It would be useful to hear from anyone with NVIDIA hardware who can
just test an F44 RC1 Workstation install and see if they hit the bug,
honestly. But the *most* useful thing would be if somebody can install
F42 or F43 and confirm that they *do* see the bug, then try installing
F44 and see whether they hit it or not on F44.
Thanks a lot for any input anyone can provide!
