Fedora CoreOS `next` 38.20230310.1.0 will not receive updates
by Benjamin Gilbert 22 Mar '23

22 Mar '23

Hi all, Last week's Fedora CoreOS `next` release, 38.20230310.1.0, introduced an issue [1] causing boot failures on aarch64 after updating from an older Fedora CoreOS release. We detected the problem and withdrew the release [2] before any user systems were affected. The release was available from our website and stream metadata for three days, and was never rolled out to existing nodes. To fix the boot failure, upcoming releases will automatically perform a one-time bootloader update on aarch64 systems. As a consequence [3], any systems installed on (or manually updated to) 38.20230310.1.0, on any CPU architecture, cannot be updated to future Fedora CoreOS releases and must be reinstalled. Affected systems will display a warning message upon SSH login: > This release is a dead-end and will not further auto-update: > https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/1441 Other than systems running 38.20230310.1.0, no manual intervention is required. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us in the Fedora CoreOS issue [1] or in #fedora-coreos on Libera.Chat.

Fedora CoreOS next stream rebasing to Fedora Linux 38
by Jonathan Lebon 17 Mar '23

17 Mar '23

Fedora Linux 38 Beta will be released next week [1]. Starting March 14, newly provisioned Fedora CoreOS nodes on the `next` stream will be based on Fedora Linux 38. On March 16, existing Fedora CoreOS nodes on the `next` stream will begin to update. For more information about Fedora 38, see the Fedora Project's list of official Changes [2] and the Fedora CoreOS analysis of each Change [3]. One Change related to OpenSSH [4] deserves special mention. In Fedora 38, SSH host keys are migrating to a new set of permissions to better match upstream defaults. This migration is performed automatically and we do not expect any issues. However, a failed migration may prevent SSH access to the machine. If you have console access to your machines and wish to be especially cautious, consider setting a password for the `core` user. Please test out the `next` stream over the coming month and report any issues in our issue tracker [5]. Thank you to everyone helping find issues by running the `next` stream!
