Hi there on my Fedora 41 GNOME I have been getting crashes since about two weeks every now and then. It always starts with a graphical glitch, then the screen gets dark and I have to relog into user. After typing password for GNOME keyring everything is fine again.
These are the reports I´m getting:
Kernel version: Linux 6.13.6-200.fc41.x86_64
Downgrade mesa to major version 24
/Zoe
How to do so?
sudo dnf downgrade mesa doesn´t work- I don´t know what the package is called
sudo dnf downgrade ‘mesa*’ worked for me
So now I guess I should version lock mesa?
nah, it’ hopefully fixed in the next release. just hold of on upgrading for a couple of weeks to let the engineers do their work.

Thanks. So in general you would say it´s not all too important to do dnf upgrade often? I try to do it every couple days when I think about it and was thinking abt writing a script to do so automatically. It´s my first time using linux daily.
Thanks for your help
Every time you update you are throwing the dice on something going wrong, this is fine on a toy. but on a system you actually really on for work or school I wouldn’t recommend updating more then once a week. If you’re running a stable system you could update every quarter, assuming you aren’t in a security critical environment.

Lol sorry I did mean downgrade.
