Fedora 39 on the Framework Laptop 13

hey guys I’ve got another Linux noob question.

when I reboot my computer, for a few seconds, I’m given a couple of options to boot into.

are these completely separate installs of fedora? the non prerelease version has a newer kernel version, but it’s automatically booting into the prerelease.

They are most likely the same installs but with different kernels. The naming is a bit odd but ether way I would think you want kernel 6.5.7

Those are separate kernels available to boot. The 6.5.2 kernel is the original version shipped with the liveiso. The 6.5.7 is the updated version. You will note that 6.5.2 is the default. I wanted to be on 6.5.7, so I set that as the default using the following.

sudo grubby --set-default-index=0

The index comes from the following.

sudo grubby --info=ALL

My AMD Framework (with fresh Fedora 39 beta install and latest updates) drained about 40% battery with closed lid during the past 24h. Isn’t it able to enter the proper low power states?
Never had such a problem on my i7-8550U with Fedora 37/38.

Wiki-ed :slight_smile:

We touched on some of this here.

Note that 7040 Series is still a very new platform and AMD’s open source teams will continue to actively develop and improve Linux kernel driver support beyond this specific firmware fix. We’ll keep updating our guides to point you to recommended configurations, and we’ve created a Community wiki post (here) with an overview of the latest status.

With BIOS 3.02, lid events and suspend operate, but, we’re actively working on the next BIOS release that will address issues folks have experienced.

I renamed this thread’s title from “[Fedora 39] Official Fedora 39 Thread” to “[Fedora 39] on the Framework Laptop”, referring to the other official thread [RESPONDED] Ubuntu 22.04 on the Framework Laptop 13 and previous version Fedora 37 official thread Fedora 37 on the Framework Laptop . My guess is that Matt wants to use the “[Fedora 39]” for his email filtering. So, I kept it. I hope you still like this title.

3.03 firmware has fixed all my gripes.

Just a reminder for AMD 7040 Series owners, the new beta BIOS is out - please update: AMD Ryzen 7040 Series BIOS 3.03 and Driver Bundle Beta

@Matt_Hartley My power consumption (with lid closed) improved with BIOS 3.03 to about 12% in 10 hours on a 61Wh battery. Is AMD further working on this topic?

EDIT: Using an up-to-date Fedora 39 beta and BIOS 3.03 on my 7840U Framework 13. Rear slots both have USB-C expansion cards, front left USB-A, and front right Micro-SD. The device was powered on, but the lid closed after checking the initial battery percentage.

We endeavor to improve battery performance wherever possible.

As it’s suspending to RAM, I expect there is to be some loss there. This sounds about right based on your setup.

I installed Fedora 39 beta (On the AMD 13"), and after the initial install, it rand a software update and got various updates as one would expect. Great. But since then, nothing.

Checking for updates on command line and in the Software app, I get nothing. It’s been almost a week, and no updates at all. I assume something is gummed up, but I don’t know how to resolve it.

I’ve updated to the 3.03 bios, and this has made my new machine much more viable. I suspect that one of the many many hard crashes I had on the 3.02 bios caused this issue.

I’m willing to wipe the drive and reinstall Fedora, but if there’s a way to fix the problem I’d prefer that.

I upgraded to kernel-6.5.9-300 tonight and it’s causing amdgpu to throw a lot of errors. FW 13 AMD

Fedora 39 is in the final freeze before release, this means only critical fixes will be published, no routine feature update. This is normal, and will change after release.

There was a freeze recently as they prepare for an official launch.

If the log noise is followed by actual issues, please see this thread.

hey guys, so i’m still having issues with firefox and video playback. i’ve done all the suggestions in this thread and have gotten videos to work, however the videos stutter every 10 seconds or so. like they freeze for a few seconds then catch back up while the audio keeps playing – making videos essentially unwatchable on firefox.

does anyone use firefox and have this issue? i’ve moved over to using brave which has no issues, but i’d really prefer to be using firefox but the video playback is killing me.

i’m on the latest update of fedora 39, 3.03 bios, and i’ve tried the flatpak and rpm version of firefox and they both have the same issue.

If you’re talking about HTML5 video playback, please do this here:
