Workstation Graphical Upgrade From Fedora 23 to Fedora 24

By -
This post will guide how to upgrade from F23 to F24 with gnome.

First lets start with a machine with Fedora 23 fully updated.
Once you are done, you will be ready to start off.

**Make sure you are not going to use your production machine as this test might result in data loss.

Enabling COPR repo : dnf copr enable rhughes/f23-gnome320

Update your system : $ sudo dnf update      

REBOOT your system before proceeding furthur!                              


Editing the fedora.json file

You can find the file at ~/.cache/gnome-software/3.20/upgrades/fedora.json .




                                  
Find f24 and change the status key pair value from "Under Development" to "Active"

                                 
  {
     "allow_retire": true,
     "branchname": "f24",
     "date_created": "2016-02-23 22:57:55",
     "date_updated": "2016-02-25 20:39:53",
     "dist_tag": ".fc24",
     "koji_name": "f24",
     "name": "Fedora",
     "status": "Active",
     "version": "24"
    }








Once done, log out and log back into your system. If everything has gone right , you will see
this in your Update tab of Gnome software.


                        




That's how you can upgrade from F23 to F24 easily with Gnome 3.20

    Shouldn't the sudo dnf update command be run after the copr has been enabled and not the other way around? :)

    Great post - I'm trying it out now. Will fill up the test matrix if I can figure it out - haven't done it for a while. Maybe a post on that would be useful too? ;)

    Cheers!

      Hey Ankur! 

      My bad, I have addressed your comment. Filling up the test matrix is easy. I will write about how to host your own test day in an upcoming post!

      Thanks

 This post is a very small example of how you can start creating small web apps with Rocket which extensively uses Rust under the hood. This post will just give an idea about how to get started if you are totally new to rust.    Rocket is a web framework for Rust that makes it simple to write fast web applications without sacrificing flexibility or type safety . All with minimal code. - rocket.rs         Getting started:  Start by installing rust nightly on your system or virtual box:     $ curl -sSf https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup.sh  | sh -s -- --channel=nightly                     Setting up Project and Dependencies:      Setting up the project is easy cas you can go ahead and execute    cargo new hello-rocket --bin   Once the execution is completes , you will have a binary application created with a Cargo.toml file and src dir with main.rs inside it.   For setting up the dependencies you need to update the Cargo.toml file.        Now,it's time to update the source main.rs f

 Thursday 2017-04-06  will be Anaconda Blivet-GUI Test Day ! As part of this planned Change  for Fedora 26, So this is an important Test Day! We'll  be testing the new detailed bottom-up configuration screen has been  long requested by users and inclusion of blivet-gui into Anaconda  finally makes this a reality. On the other hand, it just adds a new  option without changing the existing advanced storage configuration so  users that prefer the top-down configuration can still use it. to see  whether it's working well enough and catch any remaining issues. It's also pretty easy to join in: all you'll need is alpha 1.7 (which you can grab from the wiki page).  Anaconda grew a rather important new option in F26: as well as  the two existing partitioning choices (automatic, and the existing  anaconda custom part interface) there's now a *third* choice.so now you can do custom partitioning with blivet-gui run within anaconda, as well as using anaconda's own interface
