Bug-by-bug detail ============= Accepted blockers ----------------- 1. anaconda — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2346436 — VERIFIED "EFI System Partition" does not show in available filesystems for custom installs since blivet 3.12.0 There seemed to be an issue with the ability to discover what filesystems are available when partitioning. "EFI System Partition" does not show as available, which means users cannot create an ESP for UEFI installs. FEDORA-2025-73a6f8a23c was submitted as a candidate fix and has been tested and verified by QA. 2. anaconda — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2349658 — VERIFIED anaconda text mode installer fails to run on fallback When installing via a serial console the installer detects that there's no graphical and prompts to fall back to text mode and then crashes. FEDORA-2025-5235a700a8 contains a verified fix. 3. anaconda — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2344434 — VERIFIED Cannot install to a software RAID device created in the storage editor as it's impossible to assign the root mount point successfully A test case for GTK UI describes the best way to configure the software raid setup, which says to create an MD array mounted as / and optionally a second array mounted as /home. If users configure the software raid setup following this guidance, the issue is resolved. FEDORA-2025-73a6f8a23c (anaconda-42.27.3-1.fc42 and anaconda-webui-26-1.fc42) has been pushed to updates testing repo. 4. gcc — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2342065 — ON_QA Broken support for C++ coroutines in GCC 15 breaks qcoro, which breaks Plasma Discover Discover is functional when installing on F41, but as the most recent version of gcc contains some updates that are seemingly incompatible with C++ coroutines coruntimes, it causes Plasma Discover to fail in F42 (see https://gcc.gnu.org/r15-3840 and https://gcc.gnu.org/PR107637 for more details). An upstream PR was submitted for gcc https://gcc.gnu.orgg:a1855a3e0bcf0f94bc9fa421ccc9ebd0565c62cd, however there are still continued issues with plasma-nm. An update has been submitted, and QA will verify https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-6a12d86df4 Proposed blockers ----------------- 1. mutter — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2350866 — NEW Update mutter to version 48~rc-2.fc43 broke a lot of gnome-* applications and broke appearing a file save dialog in Chrome-based browsers and Telegram messenger when I try to save a file A number of gnome applications are failing with the latest version of mutter 48~rc-2.fc43. This seems to be affecting gnome-control-center, gnome-calculator and gnome-maps. There is also no file save dialogue option for saving files when using chrome-based browsers or the Telegram application with this update. 2. systemd — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2350605 — NEW The dev-gpt-auto-root.device times out and makes the system not bootable. On Fedora 42 Beta 1.2 non-live isos, i.e. on Everything and Server netinst, and Server DVD iso, the dev-gpt-auto-root.device times out during the installation and the system ends up in an emergency console, thus becoming not installable. This seems to be just affecting bare metal installs. VMs are currently unaffected. The suspected cause of the issue is 'systemd-gpt-auto-generator is active when root is not specified (or is specified as root=gpt-auto) and the system uses uefi since there is no configuration to take priority and disable it.'. This cause has yet to be confirmed by the maintainer. Please do visit the blocker bugs app[4] for more details on each bug above.
