I've been running Fedora Jam 36 for the past couple of years and decided it was time for a real system upgrade. I decided my best bet for making a jump from 36 to 39 would be to just reinstall from the installer image.
I downloaded the installer ISO but was unable to validate the download because the links to the checksum files give a 404 error. After imaging my flash drive and attempting to boot in UEFI mode, I see a brief error screen indicating that start_image() returned Unsupported, then my existing installation of Fedora starts to load.
If I try booting in legacy BIOS mode, no bootable systems are detected at all. I did try flashing the image again in case there was an error in the first attempt, and I also downloaded a second copy and confirmed they have identical SHA 512 checksums.
I can't find an archive of Fedora Jam 38 to attempt either (I'm not sure whether one even exists), and the #fedora-audio IRC channel appears to no longer exist.
Is anybody even still working on Fedora Jam? Does this installer image work for anybody?
Hi, I am not using Fedora Jam, but I cannot speak for everybody. I am using Fedora and Ardour (RPM) and MuseScore (Flatpak) and various plugins and stuff (https://audinux.github.io/). I never really had the need nor the time to install/learn "AnyDistro Jam". Fedora is good enough for what I do. With today's improvements in RealTime kernel, Pipewire and hardware ... who needs "Jam"? Maybe if it brought a community, but looks like it did not.
Regards Bruno
