Upgrading Fedora 24 to Fedora 25

Upgrading Fedora 24 Workstation to Fedora 25

Fedora 25 was just officially released. You’ll likely want to upgrade your system to the latest version of Fedora. Fedora offers a command-line method for upgrading Fedora 24 to Fedora 25. The Fedora 24 Workstation also has a graphical method.

Upgrading Fedora 24 Workstation to Fedora 25

Soon after release time, a notification appears to tell you an upgrade is available. You can click the notification to launch the GNOME Software app. Or you can choose Software from GNOME Shell.

Choose the Updates tab in GNOME Software and you should see a window like this:

If you don’t see anything on this screen, try using the reload tool at the top left. It may take some time after release for all systems to be able to see an upgrade available.

Choose Download to fetch the upgrade packages. You can continue working until you reach a stopping point, and the download is complete. Then use GNOME Software to restart your system and apply the upgrade. Upgrading takes time, so you may want to grab a coffee and come back to the system later.

Using the command line

If you’ve upgraded from past Fedora releases, you may be familiar with the

dnf

upgrade plugin. This method is the recommended and supported way to upgrade from Fedora 24 to Fedora 25. Using this plugin will make your upgrade to Fedora 25 simple and easy.

1. Update software and back up your system

Before you do anything, you will want to make sure you have the latest software for Fedora 24 before beginning the upgrade process. Additionally, make sure you back up your system before proceeding. One popular tool available in Fedora for this purpose is deja-dup. To update your software, use GNOME Software or enter the following command in a terminal.

$ sudo dnf upgrade --refresh

2. Install the DNF plugin

Next, open a terminal and type the following command to install the plugin:

$ sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade

3. Start the update with DNF

Now that your system is up-to-date, backed up, and you have the DNF plugin installed, you can begin the upgrade by using the following command in a terminal:

$ sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=25

This command will begin downloading all of the upgrades for your machine locally to prepare for the upgrade. If you have issues when upgrading because of packages without updates, broken dependencies, or retired packages, add the

--allowerasing

flag when typing the above command. This will allow DNF to remove packages that may be blocking your system upgrade.

Upgrading to Fedora 25: Starting upgrade

4. Reboot and upgrade

Once the previous command finishes downloading all of the upgrades, your system will be ready for rebooting. To boot your system into the upgrade process, type the following command in a terminal:

$ sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot

Your system will restart after this. In past releases, the

fedup

tool would create a new option on the kernel selection / boot screen. With the new

dnf-plugin-system-upgrade

package, your system reboots into the current kernel installed for Fedora 24; this is normal. Shortly after the kernel selection screen, your system begins the upgrade process.

Now might be a good time for a coffee break! Once it finishes, your system will restart and you’ll be able to log in to your newly upgraded Fedora 25 system.

Upgrading Fedora: Upgrade complete!

Resolving upgrade problems

On occasion, there may be unexpected issues when you upgrade your system. If you experience any issues, please visit the DNF system upgrade wiki page for more information on troubleshooting in the event of a problem.

If you are having issues upgrading and have third-party repositories installed on your system, you may need to disable these repositories while you are upgrading. For support with repositories not provided by Fedora, please contact the providers of the repositories.

dnf

for upgrading, including a breakdown of other flags, check out the DNF system upgrade wiki article. This page also has frequently asked questions you may have during an upgrade.

Happy upgrades!

    I have been running Fedora 20, and have been unable to upgrade to Fedora 21, 22, 23, or 24. When I try to upgrade, it tells me I have incorrect keys or something along those lines.

    Could someone please tell me how I can get Fedora 25?

    Thanks so much in advance for the help.

  2. Bob Gustafson

    Just before step 4, the process will ask you if you want the security key installed. The question is [y/N].

  3. T-Khan

    Why is username in Terminal on screenshot shows like this?

  4. Juan Alpízar

    Anyone know is there are changes on GRUB? Will it detect the Windows EFI partitions now, will it delete any custom entry I have on it?

    • Sebastiaan

      Grub has detected windows’ bootloader since I started using Fedora, at 19. Even a EFI based windows..

      • Juan Alpizar

        Are you sure about that? Because I have both Windows 10 and Fedora 24 and Fedora never detected the EFI windows partition in GRUB, even after rescanning everything

      • Jürgen

        Maybe you didn’t use the right installation media?

        “Universal USB creation tools such as Unetbootin are a historically popular way to create USB installers from ISOs intended for optical media. They typically function by creating a filesystem on the USB drive, extracting files from the image, and writing syslinux bootloader to the device.
        These methods circumvent the bootloader configuration built into Fedora images, which are pre-partitioned and designed to boot on UEFI systems with SecureBoot enabled as well as BIOS systems. They do not produce a consistent result with Fedora’s images, especially for use with UEFI systems. “

        • Juan Alpízar

          In all honesty, I’ve been using Fedora 24 since release day, I don’t remember what tool I did use to burn the image on the USB, but could be possible. I guess I’ll have to just add it manually but that’s a little of a pain, the only time I did it in the past I needed a Windows installation disk to correct the EFI partition after the process

          • I can confirm : really no issue for Fedora and Windows. The bios allow to start on Fedora : then Fedora or Windows by GRUB, or start directly in windows boot (modern bios).

            But since F19 i didn’t remind a time where Fedora Grub don’t find window.

            • Rene Reichenbach

              Removing Windows from the drive usually solves most of the problems if not all you ever had with your computer.

              • Juan Alpizar

                that’d be silly because I still don’t have enough hardware for KVM and a Windows installation, yet I need it for some specific things 🙂

                @Shnoulle you can keep confirming and that won’t make my windows EFI suddenly appear on GRUB, I guess I’ll try a clean install tomorrow

      • Juan Alpízar

        That’s exactly my case, not detecting windows on RAID install, thanks for the update!

  5. Gary

    “you’ll be able to log in to your newly upgraded Fedora 24 Workstation.” Shouldn’t it be 25?

  6. Ian

    I am trying to put F25 on a USB so I can just put it on my hard drive. I currently have F20 and can’t upgrade.

    I don’t understand how to verify with the checksum. I am assuming you open terminal to “import Fedora’s GPG key(s)” – I get this message in terminal

    bash: $: command not found…
    gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
    gpg: Total number processed: 0

    What do I do now?

    Thanks

    • Ian

      I am trying to put F25 on a USB so I can just put it on my hard drive. I currently have F20 and can’t upgrade.

      I don’t understand how to verify with the checksum.

      I right clicked and “Save As” the checksum and put it into the folder where “Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-25-1.3.iso” is.

      Then, I am assuming you open terminal to “import Fedora’s GPG key(s)” – I get this message in terminal

      bash: $: command not found…
      gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
      gpg: Total number processed: 0

      What do I do now?

      Thanks

      • Smittty

        You need only to actually read (view, edit, whatever) the checksum file.
        It will contain an indication of the tool used to produce the checksum, as well as the checksum itself. In fact more than one image checksum is normally present in the file, so, for example, there might be a checksum for the 32 bit version, the 64 bit version, the cinnamon spin, the LXDE spin, etc. Choose the iso you downloaded. Then run the indicated tool against the iso image and compare the checksum .

        Example:

        sha256sum SOME_ISO_IMAGE | grep SOME_CHECK_SUM

      • Jürgen

        You downloaded the Fedora image and checksum file into the same folder, which is correct.

        After this import the gpg keys via terminal with this command:

        curl https://getfedora.org/static/fedora.gpg | gpg –import

        After this you go to the folder, where Fedora image and checksum file is located, supposedly the Downloads folder. If so, use this command:

        cd ~/Downloads

        The next and final step is this command:

        gpg –verify-files *-CHECKSUM

      • Joao Rodrigues

        If you’re following the instructions at https://getfedora.org/verify and you’re trying to run

        $ curl https://getfedora.org/static/fedora.gpg | gpg –import

        Then you probably don’t have the “curl” package installed.
        $ sudo dnf install curl

  7. Joss

    Hello team!

    I’m running xfce desktop, should I be able to upgrade to F25 with the command line?, or there are another steps to upgrade if we’re using other desktop environments?

    Thanks.

  8. Alex

    Thank you, excelent article.

    Updgraaaaaading

    I’ve never done an upgrade. Always a new installation.

    • Neil Darlow

      I’ve found the upgrade process to be reliable. My desktop PC has been upgraded from fedora 17 through fedora 25 without issue.

  10. pat

    Excellent post, I did upgrade 2 of my computers, it worked flawlessly. Thanks a lot !

  11. kadafi

    I had an issue with lightdm after upgrading, apparently the new version replaces [SeatDefaults] with [Seat:*]
    in lightdm.conf. I have another issue where chrome and chromium both lock up after a few minutes of use, hopefully that will be resolved when repos get updated.

  12. NT

    Hi there, looking to upgrade, but how I know if my graphics card gonna work? (nvidia with nividia/rpmfusion driver)
    If some one have tested, because on beta version I get a Black screen after I install prop. nvidia driver.

    • Saravanan

      I saw the black screen post upgrade on my PC. It has Nvidia GTX 970 with driver from RPMFusion.
      I recommend not to upgrade now if you have nvidia driver.

    • Zamaro

      Welp, there something wrong with the way xorg handles nvidia cards on my part, I don’t precisely know what’s wrong but for the moment, I’m running with the nouveau drivers.

    • Juan Alpízar

      use the nvidia propietary drivers instead of RPM Fusion ones. GTX 980M user here (shouldn’t be that different from Saravanan’s card) and everything works perfectly

      • UncleVlad

        And how does someone use the nvidia drivers if they’ve already (stupidly) updated and get the Black Screen of Uselessness on launch?

        • Juan Alpízar

          Nvidia has a record of all new and old drivers up to date? I just made a quick search on their site and they have the drivers from my card from the newest to the one from one year ago. Do you understand what you have to do right? Start in text mode and install drivers from there?

    • NT

      Just update via Software and it works. 🙂
      Even update the rpmfusion repos.
      For the graphics I had to reinstall via command line, change the /etc/gdm/custom.conf (just remove the # on WaylandEnable=false and at login change to gnome xorg. Everything else just work out of the box.

    Caps Lock not working at boot login. Worked fine on Fedora 24.

  14. bubu

    i have installed open vm tools on vmware but after reboot its still cant fit the screen

  15. Allan

    I am not going to upgrade now, I will wait until some packages supports completelly F25. Anyway. How did you make you terminal prompt looks like the image?

    https://cdn.fedoramagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Fedora-Upgrading-to-F25.png

    • Hey Allan, this is actually a screenshot of my terminal prompt. I’m using Powerline for my terminal. We published an earlier article on the Fedora Magazine about it here! Hope this is helpful.

  16. What’s the value of $PS1 in the terminal in screenshort?

  17. Just upgraded from 24 to 25. Wow! What a smooth experience! Great work!

  18. Bartek

    Today this update started blocking upgrade, since its fc25 version is still in testing.
    https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-f5e78ec298

    Error: package rpm-python3-4.13.0-1.fc24.x86_64 requires rpm = 4.13.0-1.fc24, but none of the providers can be installed

    dnf suggests adding „–allowerasing” as an workaround.

  19. V.M.Date

    I just now upgraded F24 to F25. The graphical interface worked fine. There is no problem whatsoever.

  20. MB

    Will these instructions work for the MATE spin?

  21. I updated… but now the menu key not work in nautilus. When I select a file and press menu key, not show the menu…

    How to solve it?

  22. M Plop

    The upgrade went okay however I did have some small problems such as the nautilus open with another application right menu till software gnome updated nautilus. Anyway I still have got a problem: icons are not shown in the Desktop. I have already installed gnome-tweak-tool and set it accordingly and when it did not work I have also run the command line: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true. Any suggestions are welcome?

    Anyway great product pity I have to use Windows at work

    Thanks

  23. John G

    Fedora 25 is pretty solid. I upgraded using the Software app in Gnome. The upgrade worked without any issues.

    Additionally I was able to connect to Microsoft Exchange using Evolution. Email, Contacts and Calendar sync without any issues.

    Just upgraded from Fedora 24 to 25 using the UI in Software App. Issues:
    Software App: 1. only shows installed items, no new ones
    2. clicking the refresh button under Updates gives the following message:
    failed to download https://extensions.gnome.org//extension-query/?shell_version=3.22.1&page=1&n_per_page=1000:
    Connection terminated unexpectedly

    Tweak UI App: No desktop icons after upgrade, and Tweak UI won’t bring them back (Trash, etc.)

    Shutter App: cannot capture any windows or the desktop. Picture is black.

    AisleRiot Solitaire: cursor disappears when it travels over face-up cards.

    Many of these appear to be related to the move from X11.

  26. Dave Hugh

    Terrific command line upgrade process. Used for both my personal laptop (workstation) and my DIY dual-band router (server), worked flawlessly. Kind of miss having to hack through some issues!

  27. TByte

    I followed all steps but now I’m blocked at:

    dnf system-upgrade reboot

    Error: system is not ready for upgrade
    #

    I don’t know where to start. Any ideas?

    • TByte

      If I go through gnome system restarts and says it’s going to upgrade, however it restarted again on fedora 24.

      My Fedora 24 is almost a fresh install, the only extra thing I have is virtualbox, that wasn’t working anyway due to failure in its kernel module.

  28. The upgrade via GNOME Software app works fine on my laptop! 😀
    I love F25 🙂

  29. Pu Ke

    I used command line to update form Fedora 24 to 25, but that is NOT as easy as this post stated. DNF always complaints:
    [kepu@kepu-desktop-home yum.repos.d]$ sudo dnf system-upgrade –releasever=25 download –allowerasing
    [sudo] password for kepu:
    Last metadata expiration check: 0:24:49 ago on Thu Nov 24 11:18:58 2016.
    Dependencies resolved.
    Error: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: dnf.

    and I have not come up with a solution yet.

  30. If you lost your wifi interface after upgrade, use this command:
    sudo modprobe wl

  31. Allan

    Anyone knows how to make the terminal promp like the image?

  32. Jürgen

    Upgrading via command line was easy enough, but the result is a bit buggy: After booting my Thinkpad I now always get the message “A problem has occured and the system can’t recover. Please log out and try again”. Actually, logging out and logging in again solves the problem. To avoid the annoyance I went back to Gnome Xorg and everything works fine. Well, almost everything: The battery status is stuck at 100% so I can’t get any information about the charge level any more.
    But I’m quite optimistic that further bug fixes will take care of such minor issues.

  33. Carmine

    Not a good solution, my system has been upgraded from 24 to 25, I lost all my link on the desktop that I’ve created early, Virtualbox,VMware,PAC are freezed, moreover I cannot manage my 3 monitors anymore (I have a Intel graphics), and I already restarted my laptop 10 times.

    Good solution, nuke all and install the system like old school.

    Cheers

    • Juan Alpizar

      Yup, the upgrade process it’s somewhat buggy. I did the upgrade because there weren’t ISOs available yet at the moment I got the upgrade and I got some minor errors like broken nVidia drivers and broken bootanimation. A clean install it’s always a better option so far

  34. Texas

    Mine downloads, starts, asks for login, requests a reboot, reboots, starts upgrade, gets to about 14% and then reboots back into F24. :’-(

  35. bleedingEdge

    Okay, fell back to gnome classic and that seems to have handled the UI issues. I believe my issue with the Software App was a packagekitd problem. I am currently having it check for updates and though that’s taking a while (over an hour at this point), conky does show gnome-software pid coming into the top 4 from time to time, so I’m optimistic that will be corrected.

    Are the UI issues “misses” in the Wayland API as compared to X11? I’m wondering if the fix is a window manager fix or a series of app fixes.

  36. well

    Upgraded with dnf from 24 to 25, and after restart wasn’t able to login again. 🙁

    Logging in as root works, but no other user works. Digging into some logs, I found that a mount failed.

    Suggestions to how to fix this?

  37. Thomas

    Anybody updated from 24 using a nvidia gtx 1070/1080? I just installed 24 and it was a real pain. Just want to make sure if its safe to update with that hardware

  38. bleedingEdge

    well, pkcon crashes on update, so I’ll fall back to using dnf with the command line from time to time.

  39. Mostafa Anter

    after download and reboot my device begin to upgrade but after 2 second it skip upgrade and open fedora 24 again 🙁

    Upgraded from 24 to 25, running under VirtualBox. Can log in under gnome classic or gnome on xorg but the default gnome option is stuck in loop on login screen. I remember to face this issue already earlier but unfortunately do not remember any output from that. Any advice, anyone have similar experience?

      I have a similar issue, login using gnome classic or gnome on xorg works but not gnome (wayland default). Any pointers on how to fix it will be helpful ?

  42. Eirik

    Anyone else having troubles with the desktop not showing? As if I open the desktop folder I find my same good old content, but it dosnt show on the acctual desktop.

    • Eirik

      can it be that gnome tweak tool is not yet updated? I got evrything checked “on” in my tweak tool desktop settings, but nothing happends. tried reinstalling but nothing changed.

  43. Jeff Peterson

    I upgraded from Fedora 24 to 25. I appeared that no problems occurred. When I first log in, I can log in successfully. However, once I log out, I cannot log back in without rebooting the system. I attempt to log in, but it logs me right back out to the log in screen. I have to reboot my computer to be able to log in. Anyone have this problem? Any suggestions on where to look? Thank you.

    • Andre

      Same problem here. The upgrade went smooth, but I need to reboot to login (or use gnome classic).

  44. Javier Cruzado

    Upgraded using dnf. Very stable and looking very nice.

  45. km

    Upgraded using dnf in KDE interface. Smooth process, nice login page graphics!

  46. flo

    Upgraded using dnf. no problem! THX 🙂

  47. xiaodwan

    After run “sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot”, my laptop cannot bootup, “Failed to start System Upgrade” error occurs and then reboot by itself, then i did some investigation, finnaly make it work by adding “selinux=0″ in grub menu config. And the upgrade can continue…

    When the upgrading finished, login console displays, i was happy. but then i found, i can’t login the system. The tty screen will be cleared and ask me to login again. I rememered may be it’s still a selinux problem. so i turn selinux off in grub config, then i successed to login the system.

    Could you help me to solve the selinu problem? i don’t want to disable selinux forever.

    Thanks

    • xiaodwan

      ignore my question.
      I solved it by “$ sudo touch /.autorelabel”

  48. Ray

    mosquito-brackets and folkswithhats repos are disabled in fedora 25.when do you think the updates will be available?

  49. M Plop

    gnome there is no application installed for files fedora after installing F25? Any idea

  50. Denis

    It would be great, if u provide a guide how to play games on Fedora 25. Im having amd rx 480 and can’t find anything, how i can activate that driver. Installing Steam is easy with:

    http://negativo17.org/steam/

    Out-of-the-box experience for AMD-Driver would be great to see in Fedora!

  51. Smooth upgrade to 25 except I first had to remove/uninstall VirtualBox for the upgrade to kick off. Not the first time vbox has gotten in the way of an upgrade but not really a huge deal in the end.

  52. Judy Pelletier

    Hi,I am new to Linux, and would love to know more.; Like how can I learn to take advantage of the Terminal command system?
    Where can I find a place to learn how to use Linux more fully. Right now I don’t need to, but I would rather not be ignorant on the computer and learn the commands and how to read the files.
    The reason is ,I run into problems when guessing sorts of takes a luck attitude, because I really don’t know what I’m doing.
    Okay I said it I rally don’t know what I’m doing. I want to use the commuter the way it’s meant to be used ,where can I learn more . starting at the command terminal?
    I would really appreciate any guidance to this problem thank you in advance.

    • Dr. Tek

      @Judy – Fedora itself has some good documentation ( https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/index.html ). The numbers along the left refer to documentation on specific version numbers, and you can do a web search for “linux tutorials” and come up with more.

      Hang in there – it gets easier, the more you learn, and the more experience you gain. As you can see, the forums are full of people who are seeking answers – and some of them have been using Linux for years. It will always be changing, so be willing to learn. You might also check into either online classes or in-person classes at a college or university near you. More and more are offering them. Coursera.org has many technical classes, most of which are free, and I think I have seen one recently on Linux there as well. As far as paid online classes, TestOut.com has one on Linux servers that is pretty comprehensive, and takes you through many many commands on the command line. Although the focus is on the servers, which use the command line, some of it uses the GUI, and most of the principles still apply to desktops.

      Also, ask around among your friends and acquaintances – you may know several people who are already knowledgeable and would be willing to give you a hand.

      The best to you!

    I know it is about the new display protocol replacing X window.

    But I want to fix this to make my application work as before. Is there a solution?

    Thanks

    And I have found no solution to this issue.

    • Ben

      I can confirm this problem with texlive. Has anyone found a solution?

      • Anna

        Do dnf remove texlive-uptex-* before installing Fedora 25.

        • Ben

          yes, thanks, this works! (if you don’t mind losing and having to reinstall several packages and dependencies)

      • JT

        Remove the package texlive-uptex, and reinstall it (and any other packages dnf removes with it) after upgrading.

    Sadly, this update ruined Fedora at Macbook Pro 8,2 (which has integrated Intel + discrete AMD graphics). Now, after Fedora turns on, all I see is a graphical glitch (similar to chessboard with many small fields, a lot of glitchy dots etc). This has to do with graphics, I am sure, because in kernel log I see vga switcheroo complaints. Now I have to do free install… 😛

    I followed the procedure provided by fedora magazine to upgrade fedora 24 to fedora 25. after executing sudo dnf system-upgrade download –releasever=25 it completes download and at the end it says

    Running transaction check
    Transaction check succeeded.
    Running transaction test
    The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction.
    You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'.
    Error: Transaction check error:
    file /usr/lib/rpm/macros conflicts between attempted installs of rpm-4.13.0-5.fc25.i686 and rpm-4.13.0-5.fc25.x86_64

    Error Summary

    i included –allowerasing but the result is the same when i run sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot it says

    Error: system is not ready for upgrade

    Any help will be appreciated.

    thank you.

    Recently upgraded to Fedora 25 from 24. The only problem I’ve noticed is that Chrome stops responding after a few minutes. Any ideas on how to fix this?

  61. Ruud van Zundert

    Hi. The above instructions were clear and the upgrade process itself went fine. What did not work, however, is that the desktop cannot be maximised when run via VMWare Workstation 12.5.
    I recall having this issue when I first installed FC 24 and then had to update the vmware tools… this did not help this time. Any ideas, anyone?

  62. Hello, I appreciate your post, very usefull.

    One question, what plugins you are using in your terminal, for apply effect in the username and the shell pwd.

    Thanks.

    does the dnf upgrade method support latest Fedora 23 to Fedora 25?

  64. Radoslav

    Just upgraded from Fedora 24 to Fedora 25 this morning via Gnome Software Center. The smoothest upgrade ever! Everything works after login with no problems so far! Freat job guys!

  65. Name

    One thing I would like to add is if you’ve created multiple mount points (splitting /var, /var/log, /var/log/audit), you will want to make sure you have a good amount of space available for the upgrade to finish downloading the necessary packages when upgrading from Fedora 24 to Fedora 25.
