Common F33 bugs

Click here to set up this language box

This page documents common bugs in Fedora 33 and, if available, fixes or workarounds for these problems. If you find your problem in this page, do not file a bug for it, unless otherwise instructed. Where appropriate, a reference to the current bug(s) in Bugzilla is included.

Pre-release version
Fedora 33 has not yet been released. During this pre-release period, this page will cover known issues in the Fedora 33 pre-releases. Issues that are fixed will be removed from the page once a fix is available (for instance, an issue that affects the Beta but is fixed in the final release will be removed at the time of that release).

Release Notes

Read the F33 Beta release announcement for specific information about changes in Fedora 33 and other general information.

My bug is not listed

Not every bug is listed in this page, but Bugzilla should be a comprehensive database of known bugs. This page is a sampling of the bugs most commonly discussed on our mailing lists and forums.

To see if your bug has already been reported, you can search Bugzilla. If it has not yet been reported, we encourage you to do so to help improve Fedora for yourself and others. A guide to Bugs and feature requests has been prepared to assist you.

If you believe an already-reported bug report should be added to this page because it is commonly encountered, you can:

• Add it yourself, if you have wiki access. Common bugs instructions provides guidance on how to add an entry to the page correctly, but the most important thing is to make sure that the bug is listed - don't worry if you don't get the format quite right, we can clean it up later.
• Or, add the CommonBugs keyword to the bug report. Someone from the QA team will then inspect the issue to determine whether the bug should be listed as a common bug. To expedite your request, please add a comment to the bug that includes
  1. a summary of the problem
  2. any known workarounds
  3. an assessment on the impact to Fedora users

For reference, you can query Bugzilla for bugs tagged CommonBugs:

• CommonBugs? (bugs with CommonBugs keyword, but do not yet have a link to this page)

Installation issues

Switching keyboard layout by Anaconda does not work in mutter (Wayland)

link to this item - Bugzilla: #1389959

The graphical version of Anaconda runs on Wayland in Fedora Workstation Live image, which causes a situation that the keyboard layouts cannot be switched using a key combo (usually alt+shift). This will happen on system where more keyboard layouts have been added to the system.

The layouts can be switched by using the layout indicator in the upper right corner of the screen.

Server issues

FreeIPA server doesn't get along well with systemd-resolved

link to this item - Bugzilla: #1880628

In this version of Fedora, systemd-resolved is installed and enabled by default (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/systemd-resolved). FreeIPA servers do not work well with systemd-resolved. During the replica deployment the master server cannot resolve the hostname of the replica correctly.

To workaround, manually disable systemd-resolved for FreeIPA to work as expected.

ostree issues

rpm-ostree rebase fails when using aarch64 disk images

link to this item - Bugzilla: #1880499

Attempting to rebase an Fedora 32 IoT disk image to F33 does not succeed and the system reboots back into F32.

Desktop issues

login stuck when changing users repeatedly (log out, log in a different one)

link to this item - Bugzilla: #1861700

On Fedora 33 KDE, the login screen can freeze when users log in and out repetitively in a sequence.

The reason why this is happening is unclear at the moment. To prevent the issue from happening, try to avoid logging out and logging in too quickly. When logging out from a user account, wait some time before you try to log in again.
