Upgrade Fedora 24 from Fedora 23 Using DNF (F23 to F24) - Comment Page: 1
This is guide, howto upgrade Fedora 23 to Fedora 24 using DNF.
I have tested this method on several machines, but if you have problems, please let me know. Always remember backup, before upgrade!
1. Before Upgrade
1.1 Backup Your Data
Before doing anything, do full system backup or backup at least your important data: documents, pictures, videos, config files, log files, databases etc. This is very important step, because if something goes wrong and you have to do fresh install, then you can easily restore your data.
2. Upgrade Fedora 23 to Fedora 24 using DNF
2.1 Change root user
su -
## OR ##
sudo -i
2.2 Update Fedora 23 Packages
dnf...
Excellent.
Thank you.
Hi
I have a problem.
after “dnf update” command:
Failed to synchronize cache for repo ‘fedora-yum-fast-downloader’, disabling.
Failed to synchronize cache for repo ‘mattdm-finalterm’, disabling.
Failed to synchronize cache for repo ‘home_zhonghuaren’, disabling.
please guide me.
disable the extra repos
on the 4. subtitle, should be fedora 23, not 22
First attempt F23->F24 failed. I think it may have been nVidia causing the issues. The upgrade made it all the way to the new grub screen with F24 showing. Plymouth ran ok but never got graphics. Could boot to RL 3 into F24. Tried re-installing nVidia but it failed at the DKMS point and would not complete. Tried it without DKMS and nVidia installer still failed. Question: is it best to go back to nouveau BEFORE attempting the F23->F24 upgrade? Is it possible that I needed to re-install DKMS after the upgrade and before attempting to re-install the nVidia stuff? I think DKMS is standard and installed with the rest of Fedora now. Info: using the 340.96-patched driver; also tried the 340.101-patched to no avail. Older HP Pavillion with GeForce 8600M driver.
Hi sheepmud,
Try to download and install nVidia 340.101 patched version.
JR – have you seen this?

Maybe should go to RL 3 from GRUB after “dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade –best” step and before step 2.5.
I haven’t had time to re-try the upgrade strictly from RL 3.
I did try the 340.101-patched version previously and still failed.
