Pre-release version
Fedora 24 has not yet been released. During this pre-release period, this page will cover known issues in the Fedora 24 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 F24_Alpha_release_announcement for specific information about changes in Fedora 24 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

Installed system fails to boot on some hardware

link to this item - Bugzilla: #1318067

Pre-release Alpha testing has shown that on some hardware, a Fedora 24 Alpha installation will not boot successfully. The boot process hangs at a flashing cursor before the boot menu is displayed. So far, hardware reported to be affected includes Lenovo Thinkpad T400, Lenovo Thinkpad X200, Dell T1500, and Dell T1600. We are still in the process of investigating this issue. So far the only known workaround is to replace the bootloader with an older version. One way to do this is to boot from a Fedora 23 rescue image, allow it to mount the Fedora 24 system, chroot into the Fedora 24 root and run grub2-install /dev/sda (if the system is installed to another disk, adjust the /dev/sda portion of the command).

LXDE issues

Default LXDE browser (Midori) is broken

link to this item - Bugzilla: #1319516 - Bugzilla: #1306144

The default browser on the Fedora 24 Alpha LXDE spin, Midori, does not launch (it will crash) when run normally. It can be launched from a console with midori --plain. You may also choose to install Firefox or another browser into the live environment, with sudo dnf install firefox; this will use some extra RAM.
