Things I noticed after installing fedora 40. Nothing too bad, got everything working OK after a few fixes. No sound at all, not even any sound devices listed. Poking around in google I eventually found the advice to do this: rm -rf ~/.local/state/wireplumber reboot That worked. I can watch videos now and hear the soundtrack. No working printer. Apparently the stuff I've been copying from release to release no longer works. Had to remove the printer definition completely and let it notice it and reinstall from scratch. It now works but the annoying new ipp-usb stuff causes a delay of about 10 seconds between clicking "print" and hearing the printer power up (it was previously instantaneous before this "improvement"). Various systemd config files I used to edit to change settings are now apparently installed as %ghost files, so they don't actually exist. Eventually created directories /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/ /etc/systemd/system.conf.d and /etc/systemd/user.conf.d and created some local .conf files in those directories to just override the handful of settings I normally changed. The gcc compiler now defaults to the same fanatical insistence on proper forward references and such that used to be so sloppy in old C code, so various C programs I always rebuild didn't compile till I fixed the source ( I figure there is probably an option to make gcc as dumb as it used to be, but I might as well fix the code). My custom sddm theme didn't work. Had to copy new format theme directory and make similar customizations. The bogofilter tool changed format databases. Had to discover the bogomigrate-berkeley tool in the list of files in the bogofilter rpm to fix that and salvage years worth of spam filter training. Haven't noticed any other problems yet, I seem to be able to use fedora 40 now just like I used fedora 39. -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
