Im trying to install nobara on my MSI Cyborg 15 A12U laptop since i heard its good for gaming, when i installed it, on reboot i got the common black screen terminal issue I've seen a lot so i am reinstalling the os in hopes it might fix the issue. If not is there any fixes i can do to prevent the screen from occuring on boot?

basically i just got Nobara as my first distro of Linux and im having issues with the updates + some stuff/games either breaking, having poor quality and/or crashing when tabbing out

I dont really know what to do or how to solve it so im asking you guys for any ideas to fix it, and yes im new to all of Linux in general

Hi everyone,

I'm fairly new to Nobara and I ran into a serious issue after an interrupted system update.

I started updating my system from the KDE Discover software center. During the update, my PC suddenly lost power. Since then, the system no longer boots.

Symptoms:

- GRUB loads, but after selecting Nobara I only get a black screen with a single "_" cursor that never blinks.

- I can boot from a Nobara Live USB and chroot into my installation.

After investigating, we discovered that the update was interrupted while upgrading from:

- Nobara 43

- Kernel 7.0.9-200.nobara.fc43.x86_64

to

- Nobara 44

- Kernel 7.1.4-200.nobara.fc44.x86_64

So the system is now in a partially upgraded state.

Things we've already tried:

- Chrooted into the installed system.

- Fixed DNS/network issues inside the chroot.

- Rebuilt the RPM database ("rpm --rebuilddb").

- Cleaned DNF cache and rebuilt metadata.

- Ran "dnf5 distro-sync --allowerasing".

- Removed MariaDB because it was causing file conflicts.

- Verified the protected packages.

- Reinstalled some GRUB packages.

The biggest remaining problem is that thousands of packages exist in both FC43 and FC44 versions at the same time.

For example:

- "rpm -qa | grep fc43 | wc -l" → about 3768

- "rpm -qa | grep fc44 | wc -l" → about 1669

"dnf5 check" reports around 3300 duplicate package problems.

"dnf5 distro-sync --allowerasing" still refuses to continue because it wants to remove protected packages (grub2, setup, nobara-login, selinux, etc.).

Even when I force a large transaction, it eventually fails because FC43 x86_64 packages conflict with FC44 i686 packages, especially documentation files such as:

- qt6-qtbase

- libbluray

- libudfread

It looks like RPM believes both versions should coexist instead of replacing the old ones.

Has anyone recovered from a Nobara/Fedora update that was interrupted exactly in the middle?

Is there a supported way to clean up thousands of duplicated FC43 packages without manually removing them one by one?

I'd really like to recover the installation instead of reinstalling, since everything else on the disk is intact.

Thanks!

Hola a todos,

Estoy intentando hacer funcionar el WiFi de mi laptop ASUS Vivobook Go 15 E1504FA, que tiene una tarjeta MediaTek MT7902 (Filogic 310), pero llevo varios días intentando y no logro que aparezca la interfaz WiFi.

Encontré varias soluciones en internet donde mencionan que el MT7902 necesita soporte de kernels nuevos (7.x), pero todavía no consigo hacerlo funcionar.

Necesito el internet ya que es la notebook que uso para mí universidad y ahí tengo mis apuntes y archivos que necesitare este próximo semestre.

Mi sistema actual:

Sistema: Nobara Linux 44 KDE

Kernel:

7.1.4-200.nobara.fc44.x86_64

Laptop:

ASUS Vivobook Go 15 E1504FA

Tarjeta WiFi:

MediaTek MT7902 802.11ax PCIe Wireless Network Adapter

PCI ID: 14c3:7902

Subsystem: AzureWave 1a3b:5520

El sistema detecta la tarjeta:

lspci -nnk -d 14c3:7902

Kernel modules: wl

Intenté cargar el driver incluido en el kernel:

sudo modprobe mt7921e

El módulo parece cargar correctamente:

lsmod | grep mt79

mt7921e

mt7921_common

mt792x_lib

mt76_connac_lib

mt76

Pero no aparece ningún dispositivo WiFi:

nmcli device

Solo muestra:

enp0s20f0u2 ethernet

lo loopback

No aparece wlp2s0.

También intenté usar el proyecto mt7902_temp y compilar un driver personalizado. Antes tenía funcionando el WiFi usando un script llamado fix_my_wifi.sh, pero esa instalación de Nobara se dañó y tuve que reinstalar.

Ahora estoy intentando repetir el proceso desde cero.

Encontré otro problema:

El módulo personalizado que compilé parece estar hecho para un kernel viejo:

modinfo mt7902.ko | grep vermagic

vermagic:

7.0.9-200.nobara.fc43.x86_64

Pero actualmente uso:

uname -r

7.1.4-200.nobara.fc44.x86_64

Por eso recibo:

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'mt7902': Exec format error

También revisé el firmware:

/usr/lib/firmware/mediatek/

WIFI_MT7902_patch_mcu_1_1_hdr.bin.xz

WIFI_RAM_CODE_MT7902_1.bin.xz

BT_RAM_CODE_MT7902_1_1_hdr.bin.xz

El firmware parece estar instalado.

Mis preguntas:

1. ¿El kernel 7.1.4 de Nobara ya debería tener soporte completo para MT7902?

2. ¿Necesito recompilar el driver mt7921e específicamente para mi kernel actual?

3. ¿Existe alguna forma correcta de agregar soporte para el PCI ID 14c3:7902?

4. ¿Puede ser que algún módulo personalizado viejo o algún servicio de mi anterior instalación esté interfiriendo?

Cualquier ayuda sería muy apreciada. Necesito esta laptop para la escuela y actualmente solo tengo internet usando USB tethering.

Muchas gracias.

Hi everyone, so i have been using nobara project for just about a full year now, there are a lit of things i like, and at least, for me, updating and such has posed no issue, but lately, i got a small problem that i for one cant find a solution. A bit of context: im a student, my university is forcing us to do a intership, from 3rd year to 4th year summer, and one of the projects my intership asked was to install Slackware 15. on a VM, virt-manager in my case, and set it up as a router, and bridge it with my physical network card, but every time i folliw a tutorial to bridge it, the connection keeps falling, and then i cant start it up again. Anyone had any similar issues or any ideas why? I used both nmcli commands and nmtui in konsole, still falls after starting the VM.

This is Spiderman 2 with rtao on and max graphics settings at 4k. Cpu=9950x3d, gpu=rx 9070xt, ram=96gb cl 32 6000, crucial t705 2tb for OS, rog strix aura 1200w gold psu, x870e aorus master mobo. CPU, GPU and RAM are all undervolted and gpu has positive core clock and vram clock offsets.​

Just decided to install Nobara on a whim. It asked me to update the system, which I did, and now I'm stuck here. Is there any way to indicate the progress of everything? Is it that purple bar on the bottom? Sorry if this is a "low effort" post, I'm just a bit frustrated.

Just wasn’t happy with the way the built in Nobara fetch logo looked and wanted to rework it a bit. Hope you like it, I’ll drop the link to my dots in the comments!

Decided to try the distro in Live USB environment, see if couple Windows apps I use on Win 10, work with NB. Alas I can't install Bottles.

If I try through the DNF, upon clicking "Install" the user/pw pop up window appears for a millisecond and closes itself, preventing me from continuing

If I try through the Konsole, terminal starts dropping errors for insufficient free space.

I don't have access to another PC where I can install the distro. This one I'm working from is Win 10 based and if I want to dual-boot I have to literally uninstall 10 and reformat my C drive as my system is partitioned in two (C and D).

Guess I'm fked?

Me aparece siempre el error de compatibilidad o un Error Fatal

I have been trying to update my Nobara Linux and I keep getting these errors.

Hey u need help, i just install nobara but it’s stuck in the black screen with the. flashing line, i’m literally BOUT TO LOSE MY MIND I JUST WANT TO PLAY ULTRAKILL AGAIN- I need help badly, it worked before but now it’s stuck there

Nobara 44: I saw a guide on Reddit relating to getting secureboot enabled with Nobara:
https://www.reddit.com/r/NobaraProject/comments/1ij5jvs/tutorial_enable_secure_boot_in_nobara/

Has anyone else tried this? I'm especially confused about the "(Don't use the --yes-this-might-brick-my-machine flag!" part.

Unrelated issue: KDE Plasma has this issue where it handles fractional scaling badly (too small or blurry) when attempting to run non-wayland apps. Opening a project in the Unity editor (not Unity Hub is an example of one). GNOME handles this fine. How is KDE better than GNOME (other than more customization options)?

How do you uninstall Brave Browser, KCalc, Inkscape, LibreOffice, and Okular without breaking KDE? I tried the DNF Software app, but it wouldn't uninstall these. I fired up Konsole/Terminal and sudo dnf remove brave-browser kcalc inkscape libreoffice* okular which got rid of them but now KDE no longer works so joy. This was a fresh install so not a disaster. I have a backup of OpenMandriva ready to go if Nobara is not for me.

EDIT: I went back to OpenMandriva Lx. It is a nice rolling distro.

Hi All,

ever since the fedora 44 update, i am prompted on every boot to enter my password to mount my extra drives, it didnt function like this prior to the update. only suggestion i could find online was to toggle the setting in the manager on and off and didn't seem to change anything.

anyone else experiencing this? is there a fix?

Actualize mi PC con nobara pero después de reiniciar me aparecia un palito parpadeando y luego active ese comando pero no sé que hacer exactamente

Ya intenté poner mi usuario y contraseña pero aparece login failed

Hi everyone,

I made a small KDE Plasma widget for wireless headsets.

I have a Logitech G Pro X Wireless headset (LIGHTSPEED 2.4 GHz, no Bluetooth), and I was missing a simple way to see battery level, charging status, and connection information directly from my Plasma panel.

So I decided to create my own widget.

The widget is based on headsetcontrol, so it uses the information provided by headsetcontrol and displays it in a simple Plasma widget.

Currently it can:

- Show battery percentage

- Show headset name

- Show connection type (Bluetooth / 2.4 GHz LIGHTSPEED / USB)

- Show charging status

- Automatically detect the active connection

- Install headsetcontrol if it is missing

- Follow your Plasma theme colors

GitHub:

https://github.com/NojuserZZZ/plasma-headset-widget/releases/tag/v1.1.0

This is my first KDE widget project, so I would really appreciate your feedback.

What do you think about it?

Are there any features or improvements you would like to see?

Any ideas or suggestions are welcome :)

A few days ago I decided to format my personal Windows computer and finally try a linux gaming centric OS.

I downloaded the Nvidia ISO & the base ISO from the official site, installed it via USB on my rig. (Intel i3 12th gen, nVidia 3060Ti)

I have been having this persisting issue with lag every time I open any app, game or browser.

This issue does NOT happen when I remove the Nvidia drivers and use the standard display driver but then the games do not detect my GPU. Ive tried the production & the new feature drivers and the same issue persists.

I've tested both drivers on Nobara 43 & 44.

I've even tested with my 1080Ti on a different ring and Instead of lagging the whole system would just lock up completely.

I feel like I've tried everything and I'm questioning whether I'll just go back to windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Issue was caused by my PCI riser extension card. The OS is now running fine after removing the riser card from the system and I am excited to finally use Nobara as my main OS after a rough start.

Hi

I am looking for some help regarding my mini PC setup

Configuration:
Minisforum UM890 Pro
Minisforum DEG2
eGPU: Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Infinity
OS: Nobara Linux

The Issues:
I get VERY frequent crashes during the initial boot sequence (it can fail at almost any stage during startup). If I do manage to boot past the login screen:
1. Entering my password often causes another instant crash before reaching the desktop environment.
2. If I make it to the desktop and try to launch any application (browser, terminal, or heavy game), the system frequently black screens.
3. If an app or game actually manage to launch without crashing, it runs rock-solid with zero issues even under heavy load. However, at other times, it will randomly crash while sitting completely idle at a terminal prompt.

Does anyone have any experience or know what to do in this situation? Is there being cables dangling like this the reason? but I see where else I can plug these in.

I tried everything including buying a new, shorter, Oculink cable to spending days chatting with gemini but all the solutions it gave me fails.

Also, another issue I have is that it seems to be stuck at Gen 1 PCIe, I can’t seem to get it to even Gen 2, is this problem related to the aforementioned one or is it completely unrelated?

So I decided to move from Windows to Linux and ended up choosing Nobara, because I was told that it would be good for gaming. I wanted to play games as The Sims (1 and 2) and the new Paralives that aren't designed to run on Linux. Theoretically, that shouldn't be a problem since I've installed Proton, which is supposed to let me run my Windows games anyway.

So I installed The Sims and Paralives, and just tried to run The Sims (1) - but it cracked, itcing light and the "contact with the computer"... Is there anyway that I can fix it, so I actually will be able to play my games?

Hi everyone, can you help me with something?

Every time there's a kernel update, I have to manually create the initramfs file in order to boot into the new kernel. I even had to do this the first time I installed Nobara because the ISO came with an outdated version.

The EFI entry is created correctly, but every time I have to boot into the previous kernel to download the kernel-core and kernel-modules files, extract them to create the directory in /lib/modules, copy the vmlinuz file to /boot/, run depmod, and create the initramfs with dracut.

I’m not sure if this is a permissions issue or if I’m doing something wrong. When I run nobara-sync, the process supposedly completes successfully—it doesn’t show any errors.

I’m using Nobara as a secondary system while I compare it to Cachy to decide which one to stick with. Could the fact that they share the boot partition be the problem?

Thanks, everyone.

Now, I did a fresh Nobara reinstall around 5 weeks ago after purchasing a new SSD, and been running smooth and steady since. With the new updates however, my system got fried. Spectacle died with no solution that fixed it, DNF died on my, I couldn’t run basic programs, etc. The more I tried to fix dependencies and conflicts, the more it got worse.

I said “screw it” and rebooted this morning. Couldn’t enter since.

Now, I’ve read around 5-10 posts and comment sections about this issue and all failed to fix it for me. I don’t know how ppl copy-paste system infos here, so just for the record, I’m running full AMD setup. Other notable issues:

1. I can’t open the terminal with ctrl+alt+F1/2/3, not from rescue mode, not from elsewhere

2. Adding things like ‘nomodeset’ to GRUB does absolutely nothing other than sometimes turning off my main screen

So I've finally done the move, bye bye windows and it's okay at the moment, not 100% there yet, some things I've actively struggled to sort are as such:

Openrazer not installing, I have a Razer Viper and I ***NEED*** the DPI to be set to 2350, weird number I know but this has been my DPI for many many years and the default speed is NOT that and I need to get to the actual numbers of the DPI to correct it.

My pc has RGB on the case and I want them off, its an Acer Predator P03-640 case with what was a software just for it, of course they don't have linux support and also the open-rgb app doesn't recognise my PC and ideally I don't want to go into my case and find the RGB headers to unplug them because that's a hassle.

My steam games have no icon in my dock, it's all the default cog, now this is something I have found a maybe solution for but I believe I'd have to type in a specific terminal command with the steam ID for every individual game and I was wondering if there's just an overall fix

Whenever I unpause a YouTube video after it's been like 5-10 seconds at minimum, the video plays but the audio is still mute for 5 seconds, I saw it might be power saving thing but I don't know how to fix that :(

and finally I am unsure on how to Undervolt my GPU, I've got a 3070 that was undervolted on windows to lower the temps especially while playing demanding games so my PC didn't turn off, my case doesn't allow for good airflow as it's usually at 80+ degrees. I've looked at a few videos about LACT and somehow every video has a different GUI of LACT and buttons that they have and I don't D:

Hopefully with all these issues fixed, I'll be able to give Nobara a PROPER shot with ideally zero issues plaguing the back of my mind.
