Bluefin does not automatically update and updating manually does not update the base system

Hi. I noticed since the last system update, which I monitor since I’m new to Bluefin and immutable distributions, that since the stable-20250105 update, the system has not been automatically updated again.

The most obvious thing is that the flatpak applications were not updated, so I manually applied flatpak -y update and the update was applied. I have repeatedly run “Topgrade” from the “System Update” desktop icon, but it always tells me that there are no updates available, but when checking the Github repository with the Bluefin releases in the stable branch, stable-20250129 is already available.

I tried to rebase with the commands indicated, but I get the error:
ERROR Switching: Pulling: Creating importer: failed to invoke method OpenImage: failed to invoke method OpenImage: invalid reference format

Can someone tell me if I should do something else or is there another way to update manually to solve the problem of automatic updates?

For my Framework Laptop I launch console and run ‘ujust update’ once a week, reboot and it’s good to go. I’m fairly certain, depending on the version GTS, LTS, or Latest the auto update schedule is varied.

Can you post an rpm-ostree status?

You’ve rebased yourself to that day’s image, that’s the ublue-os/bluefin:stable-20250105 part.

Run the rebase helper and choose stable as the option and then it’ll download, reboot and you should be good to go.
