If you are upgrading using Dnf and it shows any general dependency
|
|
issues, please file them in http://bugzilla.redhat.com[Bugzilla]. But
|
|
please read this page, all references pages and search the mailing list
|
|
archives before filing bugs. And of course, please help keep this page
|
|
updated.

Upgrading across multiple releases
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
If you need to upgrade across several releases, it is generally
|
|
recommended to go one release at a time: for example, rather than going
|
|
directly from to , first go to and then from there to . This tends to
|
|
reduce the number of package dependency issues you may encounter. If you
|
|
are upgrading from an link:End_of_life[End of life] release, please also
|
|
see link:#eol[the end-of-life section].

[[backup-your-system]]
|
|
1. Backup your system
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Backup any personal data to an external hard drive or to another
|
|
machine. If there is some unrecoverable error that requires a fresh
|
|
install, you don't want to lose any data.
|
|
|
|
[[read-about-common-problems]]
|
|
2. Read about common problems
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Further down in this page there is a list of common problems specific to
|
|
dnf upgrades for specific versions. Some of them require attention
|
|
before the upgrade.
|
|
|
|
General advice on upgrading Fedora can be found on the Upgrading page.
|
|
You should also read the
|
|
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/[Installation Guide] and
|
|
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/[Release Notes] for the
|
|
version you plan to upgrade to - they contain important information
|
|
regarding upgrading issues. Finally, check the list of
|
|
link:Common_bugs[Common bugs].
|
|
|
|
[[clean-stuff]]
|
|
3. Clean Stuff
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Review and remove all .rpmsave and .rpmnew files before and after
|
|
upgrading. (And if you have selinux enabled then remember to check
|
|
security context if you move config files around.)
|
|
|
|
Now is a good time to remove packages you don't use - especially
|
|
non-standard packages.
|
|
|
|
[[do-the-upgrade]]
|
|
4. Do the upgrade
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
If you have 3rd party repositories configured, you may need to adjust
|
|
them for the new Fedora version. If you switch from one Fedora release
|
|
to another there is often nothing that needs to be done. If you switch
|
|
to Rawhide from a standard Fedora release (or vice versa) then most of
|
|
the time you will need to install the Rawhide release RPMs from the 3rd
|
|
party repository as well (or the standard ones, if switching back).
|
|
|
|
Note that the upgrade is likely to fail if there are outdated
|
|
dependencies from packages not backed by a dnf repository or backed by a
|
|
repository which isn't ready for the new version.
|
|
|
|
It is a good idea to do the upgrade outside the graphical environment.
|
|
Log out of your graphical desktop and then
|
|
|
|
[[fedora-upgrade]]
|
|
fedora-upgrade
|
|
++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
A small script named fedora-upgrade is available which aims to automate
|
|
the process outlined below. To run it, do the following
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
$ sudo dnf install fedora-upgrade
|
|
$ sudo fedora-upgrade
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
When performing upgrade via remote shell, it is good idea to use screen
|
|
or tmux utility to be able to get back to running transaction in case
|
|
your connection drops.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, follow the manual steps:
|
|
|
|
[[go-to-a-text-console]]
|
|
Go to a text console
|
|
++++++++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
ctrl + alt + F2
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
(or)
|
|
|
|
log in as root, and go into multi-user.target
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
systemctl isolate multi-user.target
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
[[fully-update-your-current-fedora-install]]
|
|
Fully update your current Fedora install
|
|
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
# dnf upgrade
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
[[install-the-package-signing-key-for-the-release-you-are-upgrading-to]]
|
|
Install the package signing key for the release you are upgrading to
|
|
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
If you are upgrading across two releases or fewer from Fedora 20 or
|
|
later, this step should be unnecessary. If you are upgrading from an
|
|
older Fedora or upgrading across three or more releases, you may need to
|
|
import the signing key for the target release.
|
|
|
|
If it turns out not to be, you should be able to import keys like so:
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
# rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-23-x86_64
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
, replacing "23" and "x86_64" with the new Fedora version and your
|
|
architecture, respectively.
|
|
|
|
You can also find package signing keys for currently-supported releases
|
|
https://getfedora.org/keys/[here]. Keys for EOL releases can be found
|
|
https://getfedora.org/keys/obsolete.html[here]. Click _Primary_ (or
|
|
_Secondary_, if you are using a secondary architecture), and you will
|
|
see _Get it from: Fedora Project_, where _Fedora Project_ is a link.
|
|
Copy that URL, and run:
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
# rpm --import (url)
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
to install the key. On old releases, may have trouble doing this; if
|
|
that happens, download the file with or and import the downloaded file.
|
|
|
|
[[clean-the-cache]]
|
|
Clean the cache
|
|
+++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
Then remove all traces of the version you are leaving from the dnf cache
|
|
in `/var/cache/dnf`.
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
# dnf clean all
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
[[upgrade-all-packages]]
|
|
Upgrade all packages
|
|
++++++++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
Run the upgrade command:
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
# dnf --releasever=<target_release_number> --setopt=deltarpm=false distro-sync
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
[[make-sure-fedora-is-upgraded]]
|
|
5. Make sure Fedora is upgraded
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Distro-sync will usually take care of upgrades for the third party
|
|
repositories you have enabled as well. Confirm with after the upgrade
|
|
process is over. `dnf` might complain about conflicts or requirements.
|
|
That is probably because you have used non-standard repositories or
|
|
installed non-standard packages manually. Try to guess which packages
|
|
cause the problem (or at least is a part of the dependency chain) -
|
|
uninstall them and try again. Remember to install the packages again if
|
|
they are essential.
|
|
|
|
Ensure that all (new) essential packages from the new version are
|
|
installed with
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
# dnf groupupdate 'Minimal Install'
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
You might want to update other groups too, see
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
# dnf grouplist
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
For example
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
# dnf groupupdate "GNOME Desktop" \
|
|
"Development Tools" "Sound and Video" \
|
|
"Games and Entertainment" "Administration Tools" \
|
|
"Office/Productivity" "System Tools"
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
[[preparing-for-reboot]]
|
|
6. Preparing for reboot
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Before booting you should usually install the bootloader from your new
|
|
grub by running
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
/usr/sbin/grub2-install BOOTDEVICE
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
- where BOOTDEVICE is often , or for some virtual machine installs. If
|
|
you have more than one hard disk, make sure you use the correct device!
|
|
|
|
If you get an error (e.g. ) from that, then try ).
|
|
|
|
It might also be necessary to update the grub config file:
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
cp --backup=numbered -a /boot/grub2/grub.cfg{,.bak} # create backup copy
|
|
/usr/sbin/grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg # update config file
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
[[cleanup-your-system]]
|
|
7. Cleanup your system
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Again, cleanup your system as described in section 2. Also you might
|
|
want to remove some cache files that are no longer used, for example
|
|
files from older Fedora releases in the following directories:
|
|
|
|
* /var/cache/dnf
|
|
* /var/cache/mock
|
|
* /var/lib/mock
|
|

[[from-pre-release]]
|
|
From pre-release
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
If you are upgrading to a final release from an Alpha, Beta, or release
|
|
candidate, please see link:Upgrading_from_pre-release_to_final[Upgrading
|
|
from pre-release to final].
|
|
|
|
[[to-rawhide]]
|
|
To Rawhide
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
See the link:Releases/Rawhide[Rawhide] release page for more information
|
|
on Rawhide.
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
# dnf upgrade
|
|
# dnf install dnf-plugins-core fedora-repos-rawhide
|
|
# dnf config-manager --set-disabled fedora updates updates-testing
|
|
# dnf config-manager --set-enabled rawhide
|
|
# dnf clean -q dbcache packages metadata
|
|
# dnf --releasever=rawhide --setopt=deltarpm=false distro-sync --nogpgcheck
|
|
|
|
## Optional: it is generally advised to do a selinux autorelabel and reboot
|
|
# touch /.autorelabel
|

[[fedora-25]]
|
|
Fedora 25
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
No special instructions. Follow the above instructions.
|
|
|
|
[[fedora-24]]
|
|
Fedora 24
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
No special instructions. Follow the above instructions.
|
|
|
|
[[upgrading-from-legacy-end-of-life-eol-fedora-releases]]
|
|
Upgrading from legacy end of life (EOL) Fedora releases
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Note that Fedora strongly recommends against ever running an end-of-life
|
|
release on any production system, or any system connected to the public
|
|
internet, in any circumstances. You should never allow a production
|
|
Fedora deployment to reach end-of-life in the first place.
|
|
|
|
With that in mind, if you do have an end-of-life release installed on a
|
|
system you cannot just discard or re-deploy, you can attempt to upgrade
|
|
it, though this is a less-tested and less-supported operation.
|
|
|
|
For detailed instructions on upgrades from EOL releases, please read
|
|
link:Upgrading_from_EOL_Fedora_using_package_manager[Upgrading from EOL
|
|
Fedora using package manager].
