Common F23 bugs

In other languages: English (en) español (es) русский (ru) [edit]

This page documents common bugs in Fedora 23 and, if available, fixes or workarounds for these problems. If you find your problem in this page, do not file a bug for it, unless otherwise instructed. Where appropriate, a reference to the current bug(s) in Bugzilla is included.

Pre-release version
Fedora 23 has not yet been released. During this pre-release period, this page will cover known issues in the Fedora 23 pre-releases. Issues that are fixed will be removed from the page once a fix is available (for instance, an issue that affects the Beta but is fixed in the final release will be removed at the time of that release).

Release Notes

Read the F23_Alpha_release_announcement for specific information about changes in Fedora 23 and other general information.

My bug is not listed

Not every bug is listed in this page, but Bugzilla should be a comprehensive database of known bugs. This page is a sampling of the bugs most commonly discussed on our mailing lists and forums.

To see if your bug has already been reported, you can search Bugzilla. If it has not yet been reported, we encourage you to do so to help improve Fedora for yourself and others. A guide to Bugs and feature requests has been prepared to assist you.

If you believe an already-reported bug report should be added to this page because it is commonly encountered, you can:

• Add it yourself, if you have wiki access. Common bugs instructions provides guidance on how to add an entry to the page correctly, but the most important thing is to make sure that the bug is listed - don't worry if you don't get the format quite right, we can clean it up later.
• Or, add the CommonBugs keyword to the bug report. Someone from the QA team will then inspect the issue to determine whether the bug should be listed as a common bug. To expedite your request, please add a comment to the bug that includes
  1. a summary of the problem
  2. any known workarounds
  3. an assessment on the impact to Fedora users

For reference, you can query Bugzilla for bugs tagged CommonBugs:

• CommonBugs? (bugs with CommonBugs keyword, but do not yet have a link to this page)
• CommonBugs+(bugs with CommonBugs keyword and contain a link to this page)

Installation issues

Installer does not correctly compute the minimal required partition size when using network installation

link to this item - Bugzilla: #1224048

If you use the network install image (netinst), the installer will not always correctly warn you when your root partition is too small to contain the installed system. If the disk space runs out during package installation, anaconda reboots the machine without a warning, and the partial Fedora installation is broken and unusable. If this happens, please repeat the installation, but assign more space to the root partiton. For example, the absolute minimum for a Workstation package set is 6 GiB.

In the vast majority of cases, this issue does not affect Live or DVD (offline) installations. There is a very slight chance that if you set the partition to be almost exactly the same size as is the installed package set, the filesystem metadata will occupy enough space so that the installed system does not fit into the free space.

To be safe from this issue, please don't try to set an extremely small root partition.

Filesystem encrypted with cyrillic or arabic language passphrase can not be decrypted at boot time

link to this item - Bugzilla: #681250

Filesystem encrypted with cyrillic or arabic languages passphrase can not be decrypted at boot time. English (USA) keyboard layout (by default it is set as secondary layout for installation) is used for decryption, if you need to encrypt your system please use this layout for passphrase.
