I broke some packages and I need help figuring out how to fix it.
I run Nobara and usually update via "Nobara Package Manager", however it ran into a problem:
Could not depsolve transaction; 1 problem detected:
Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: nobara-amdgpu-config
I found the solution on Nobara projects site: sudo dnf update --exclude=nobara-login --refresh && sudo dnf update --refresh
That did result in several packages begin updated, I just skimmed through the list but I remember some mesa stuff. After a reboot some apps render like in the picture - missing characters or missing text all together and flickering artefacts. I run things pretty out-of-the-box so not sure what I've done that has lead up to this, just care about gaming.
How can I troubleshoot this? Thanks in advance
Oof. You uninstalled Mesa's AMD config because a troll on the internet tried to partial upgrade your system. You're kinda fucked.
Yeah I kind of realised that the instructions assumed I had already upgraded, will try to keep track of new updates better in the future. So for sake of completion here's how I solved it in the end:
file /usr/lib64/libopenh264.so.2.3.1 conflicts between attempted installs of openh264-2.3.1-2.fc38.x86_64 and noopenh264-0.1.0~openh264_2.3.1-2.fc38.x86_64sudo dnf -v system-upgrade download --releasever=38 --allowerasing --exclude=openh264.x86_64--best --allowerasing'and see what else breaks:I saw that error when I first installed nobara. Googled it, and the solution was just to not use dnf to update, but nobara-sync instead.
Yeah I forgot to mention that I'll not be using dnf manually but rely on nobara-sync. But I must stress that I already did that before this issue, BUT I followed advice on nobaras own website where the solution was to use
dnfand I still ended up with this problem. The real issue was still my own though, I should have upgraded to Nobara 38 before trying the workarounds, since 37 isn't supported any more.
