Hey Guys,
After i updated to kernel 14 from 13 on Rawhide, my opera and chrome
is now broken, they open but can not load any page, while my audio is
no longer working, I have ran the most recent update as of yesterday
and none is still working, going back to the older kernel still did
not work again. Can you guys suggest any possible solution?
First, look in the journal for any reported problems when trying to use
sound. I like to use journalctl -r so the latest update is at the top.
Try using a sound application in a terminal instead of from the gui.
See if there are any error messages. Then look in journalctl -r to see
if there are any relevant messages.
Look for any packages that were updated that touched the audio system
in any way. It is unlikely to be the kernel (I think) that is causing
this. When you find the packages that might be the culprits, you can
try using
dnf downgrade [list of packages]
to restore older versions. The problem is they probably won't be
available, so you will have to go to koji to get the older versions.
Here is an example of using pipewire as a search item there.

Once you have downloaded them, run
dnf -C downgrade [list of packages]
in the directory that has the downloaded packages.
