Hello, I did a “sudo dnf upgrade” then my Chromium fonts got changed.
I went in to the settings and set the fonts to default, restarted Chromium. Fonts were same. I started looking for a solution and then a pop-up message appeared:
Hello, I checked Fedora forums to see if this is posted. I didn’t know it was poasted in Red Hat forums. I have checked the link and other links inside the links and honestly didn’t understand much. Is there something I can do to fix it? Also, in forums they don’t talk about the fonts. I have an old looking font in my Chromium and when I type something, they are on that font, the auto-completion is in the normal font.
-Thanks
No, that isn’t a forum. That’s the bug-tracker that Fedora uses. From the information there, there isn’t much you can do for the time being. We need to wait for:
Chromium developers to make a new release with the fix, (“upstream”)
the Fedora package maintainer to then update the package in Fedora to the new version
Not sure about the fonts. Perhaps open a new topic for that so folks can help troubleshoot it?
Two aspects, first you indeed have an old version of chromium. Second, you have the libraries of the freeworld but not chromium-freeworld.
On the first aspect, as I have learned in recent days, it is normal for the packages to “never… almost never?” be updated in the main repository of a released version of Fedora. Last version of Chromium browser is the same in all the still supported and released versions of Fedora: 80.0.3987.149-1.fc31 (I means the 80.0.3987 part is the same) as can be seen on https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/chromium So I believed you have the version that was there when Fedora 31 was released, most probably because you do not have the Fedora 31 update repository (not testing… updates) enabled. You should be able to add it with “dnf config-manager --add-repo /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo”
The second part I see you have chromium-libs-media-freeworld-0:77.0.3865.90-2.fc31.x86_64 of chromium-freeworld (chromium version in rpmfusion which does not have patented codecs removed). But I would then expect you to have chromium-freeworld package installed. I have learned ot this chromium-freeworld today… and will not comment too much on if this is normal (in F31) because I don’t know.
Hello, here is some output from my console when I write “sudo dnf upgrade” @pauld@FranciscoD
