Is there a way to get Bazzite to a sort of "factory" state with like, configs and packages without losing my personal files and flatpaks? Games, ROMs, etc?

The :latest tag receives the latest Fedora version we support over updates. No need for a rebase when you use it

EEyeCantCU `ujust unhide-grub` should do it

did you try this though and then try again?
Unable to upgrade to Fedora Linux 39

mitori•11/27/23, 10:26 PM

I didn't, because by this point I'd already upgraded to f39 with a rebase

mitori•11/27/23, 10:28 PM

I was thinking of seeing if I can avoid uninstalling it in the future - when upgrading to f40, for example

error: Updating rpm-md repo 'expressvpn-repo': cannot update repo 'expressvpn-repo': repomd.xml GPG signature verification error: Bad GPG signature

Kyle Gospo•11/27/23, 10:29 PM

this is your issue, you absolutely can layer packages and update without issue

Kyle Gospo•11/27/23, 10:29 PM

but you cannot update a package from a repo who's signature you don't have/can't test

Kyle Gospo•11/27/23, 10:29 PM

you can either fix that, or edit the repo to not do gpg checking in /etc/yum.repos.d/

Do I have to click any special options to do so? Basically is there a way to mess up and lose everything?

I'm on Steam Deck

KKyle Gospo this is your issue, you absolutely can layer packages and update without issue

mitori•11/27/23, 11:08 PM

yeah, that's what I figured - but the "software" app that I figured was supposed to update everything, but I got an error, I wouldn't have even tried the rebase if I thought the update would've worked, and I don't know how to fix the refspec issue

Hey, bazzite-gnome hasn't had an update for a week. Is this as intended?
Also the version marked

39.20231121

39.20231121

(https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/pkgs/container/bazzite-gnome/149749569?tag=39-20231121) has the field

labels.org.opencontainers.image.version

labels.org.opencontainers.image.version

with the value of

39.20231120.0

39.20231120.0

. 20231120 is also what I get with

rpm-ostree status

EyeCantCU•11/28/23, 12:59 AM

You'd have to use manual partitioning when installing without selecting the home partition for formatting

RogerLovesYou ❤OP•11/28/23, 12:59 AM

Okay! That's fine then.

With that said you may be able to retain the BTTFS subvolume but I am not sure

EEyeCantCU Why wouldn't it?

dnkmmr•11/28/23, 2:39 AM

because there is some unfixable bug involved

Well it's certainly not unfixable and I wouldn't consider absent builds a bug

So trying out VRR with the new update. Worked first try when connected directly to my TV. Then plugged the deck into my VRR compatible receiver which is plugged into my TV. Was unable to enable VRR on the deck now. Ok. Switched back to direct connect to the TV. Now I can’t turn on VRR anymore

I don’t know how to fix it yet, but figured I’d just share

RogerLovesYou ❤OP•11/28/23, 3:49 AM

Does hitting the "-" when partitioning actively delete the partition or just selects it to be deleted when installing?

RogerLovesYou ❤OP•11/28/23, 3:50 AM

It says there must be a new root but I just wanna make sure I don't start something, do it wrong, and not be able to pull out before I really hit the big blue button.

RogerLovesYou ❤OP•11/28/23, 3:58 AM

Does this look correct otherwise, guys?

HikariKnight•11/28/23, 7:54 AM

the link they gave you was for normal fedora.

i believe you need
/boot as ext4
/boot/efi as EFI (fat32 with some flags if EFI or ESP is not an option)

a subvolume named rootroot for use as

a subvolume named homehome or partition for /var/home/var/home (as /home/home will become a symlink to /var/home/var/home)

this would be the bare minimum
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/installation/
kinoite will have the same limitations
