I had installed Fedora KDE for an older relative on his old Dell laptop. I had already upgraded it from 40 to 41 before, but this time it seemingly refuses to upgrade at all.

I tried upgrading through the “KDE Discover” program at first, no success. I would click the “Upgrade to Fedora 42” button and nothing would happen.

Then I tried upgrading manually using the instructions given by the fedora wiki, and I get the errors from the attached image. (Image below is the continued output)

On top of that, to make things worse, WiFi literally disappears at a whim sometimes. I mean all GUI options for WiFi disappear. I have to restart to make it work again. This is frustrating, can anyone give some insight? Should I just wipe and reinstall something else?

    Is ProtonVPN active by chance?

    Did you update the release targets first with dnf upgrade --refresh?

    You have two different problems btw. The first is a network connectivity issue where it can’t find the target repos for whatever reason.

    Second is it looks like you have conflicting packages installed. I see mpv, rubberband, and Firefox in that screenshot, but there are more.

          Thanks for the suggestions, I will try again as soon as I can

          If it’s too much of a headache, I can just wipe the partition and install something else, or just reinstall fedora I guess.
