Auto update stopped working?

Aurora
21

I am also never getting auto update :frowning: maybe because I have set up hibernation on all my devices. So I rarely reboot. And if I do reboot, the device will suspend/hibernate WITHIN 1 hour, which means the updater won’t be triggered (since it waits 1 hour after reboot.. which makes little sense no?)

Bluefin 41 + hibernation set up:

On Fedora 42 images we will move to uupd, our new background updater.

So I would suggest you wait for F42 based images (already available in latest ) and test with it, You might need to enable it if you update/rebase and disable the old rpm-ostreed-timer things.

If you still have issues, recommend to file them at the uupd repo on github: GitHub - ublue-os/uupd

I just ran the System Update app, it ran (downloaded a bunch of stuff and did some things).
Then it just disappears.
I ran it again, this time it went so fast and disappeared, I couldn’t read anything.

So I just rebooted. To my surprise, when I check Settings > System, I am still on 41. So I would say manual update also doesn’t work..

EDIT: Now I tried ujust update:

❯ ujust update

No upgrade available.
Looking for updates…

Nothing to do.

Looks like LosslessCut (flatpak) still uses some outdated library. Other than that, nothing to do..

You’re supposed to be on F41 you’re on bluefin:stable. Everything is working as intended.

25

Oh stupid me, I thought Bluefin stable was available already with F42. Sorry!

I also see GNOME 45 pinned. Not sure why.

Is there a reason this is pinned? In my case, No.

I did:

flatpak pin --remove runtime/org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/45
flatpak pin --remove runtime/org.gnome.Platform.Locale/x86_64/45

That did it for me.

Of course, if you have no.mifi.losslesscut installed you will need to uninstall that first.
