From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hey guys, not sure what happened or if I installed something wrong but some of my applications like Firefox (flatpak) and gnome-control-center are just showing as blank when I open them. If I select them from overview, it stays as blank and can't select anything from it. This issue doesn't happen on all gnome/flatpak apps.

Any idea how can I troubleshoot this further?

Im on Fedora SilverBlue 37

EDIT: upgraded to 38, but same issue. Posted in AskFedora - https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/some-apps-are-just-blank-and-unusable/85600

Can you run an rpm-ostree status and paste the results here?

Might also be good to post in ask fedora if you haven’t already.

The people who maintain silverblue are often there to help out.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !ask@discussion.fedoraproject.org

Bad bot, that’s not a Lemmy link just happens to contain “/c/“
