Hey Guys, After i updated to kernel 14 from 13 on Rawhide, my opera and chrome is now broken, they open but can not load any page, while my audio is no longer working, I have ran the most recent update as of yesterday and none is still working, going back to the older kernel still did not work again. Can you guys suggest any possible solution?
First, look in the journal for any reported problems when trying to use sound. I like to use journalctl -r so the latest update is at the top. Try using a sound application in a terminal instead of from the gui. See if there are any error messages. Then look in journalctl -r to see if there are any relevant messages.
Look for any packages that were updated that touched the audio system in any way. It is unlikely to be the kernel (I think) that is causing this. When you find the packages that might be the culprits, you can try using dnf downgrade [list of packages] to restore older versions. The problem is they probably won't be available, so you will have to go to koji to get the older versions.
Here is an example of using pipewire as a search item there. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=24555
Once you have downloaded them, run dnf -C downgrade [list of packages] in the directory that has the downloaded packages.
