It looks like Fedora 40 just dropped! Upgrade instructions at <

RPMFushion folks should wait about a month before upgrading. There always
seems to be a lot of video problems after a new release while RPMFusion is
rebuilding their packages.

Updated Quick Docs to release 40. So the text should show the correct release numbers
soon.

You mean Nvidia problems? Nothing reported on the fedora forum that is negative,
beyond the traditional upgrade not setting up the drives in the upgrade that is easy to
fix.
Lots of people have working nvidia in f40.

I have not been able to get a working system on Virtual Box due to video
problems. Here are the latest problem: <https://ibb.co/SXm8YyF>;, <
https://ibb.co/mG9sL8H> and <https://ibb.co/VvCKkKx>;. The last image,
VvCKkKx, is after an install and then a 'dnf upgrade'.
I am Ok with upgrading headless servers; but not workstations with desktop
software at the moment. I can't risk losing some of my desktops machines
which are used daily.

virtualbox is not a Fedora issue.

All the Fedora provided desktop software that I've used so far works
great in F40. And no issues with running it under qemu/kvm.

It was on the Fedora Announce list yesterday. Surprised it didn't
appear here as well as it usually does.

I've updated to F40. Everything works as expected, (I don't have an
Nvidia card at present so YMMV). I do have some comments on the new
KDE/Plasma but I'll post on the Fedora KDE list after a bit more
testing.

Did that xv security issue get sorted out before the release?

AFAIK that was fixed almost immediately after it was announced.

You mean xz? xv was a pretty cool (but not open source) image viewer
back in the day. :)
as far as xz, for F40, the affected version was only in updates-testing
for a short time, it never reached stable. The downgrade to the
older version was pushed later in the day that the announcement came out
about it.

Thanks. Also wondering how far back the breach went. I remember
reading that the person had being playing the long game about doing
this.

They spent a long time setting it up, but the actual breach wasn't
introduced until very recently, and IIRC was caught before it made it
to a stable release.

How was it caught?
If it's what I read about recently, 'twas a bit of a fluke.

Not quite a fluke, but certainly something to think about:

xv is maintained by a github group named "jasper-software".
The current release is v5.0.0, less than 3 months ago.
There was a significant enhancement almost a year ago to support "webp" images.
The web site for this xv is here:
"https://github.com/jasper-software/xv".
It appears to be free and open-source, but I'm not certain. If it is, I wonder if it
should still be in rpm-nonfree or somewhere else.

RPMFusion nvidia-470xx packages broke with recent F39 kernel updates.

NVIDIA drivers came out with the release. Also for the 6.8 kernels on
Fedora 39. Been quite a wait from 6.8.0 to 6.8.7 but now here.
