Let me know which commands I have to run to give you more information about my system!
In the meantime, I will do a rollback: version 35.20220117.0 worked without any issues.

Just to add that I'm also finding some issues since... some time (I believe the problems started longer than 13 days ago; it was around the "polkit" issue, which I issue a rpm-ostree upgrade soon after seeing the messages of "update your distro").

Edit: The last "good" configuration, as shown in grub, is 35.20220117.0

Current issues include:

• No sound card;
• Massive flickering on Wayland (really visible with Alacritty);
• Flatpak applications do not appear in the application launcher; running flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox returns an error that "/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share" and "/var/home/myuser/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share" are not in XDG_DATA_DIRS.

Attached is the journalctl since last reboot.

If that helps, the computer is a Dell XPS 13 (three years ago model; sorry, can't remember the proper model number)

I'm not sure if this is a coincidence, but I also have a Dell XPS 13!
On my other (work) laptop, a HP laptop, I don't have any problems.

I believe this is a duplicate of #234.

Workaround mentioned in #234 (comment) has worked for the poster and me.

Unfortunately, I wasn't so lucky: XDG_DATA_DIRS is still incomplete and the flickering continues.

Edit: Hold on. I think I missed a part on how Silverblue works, 'cause I tried the workaround in the version that actually works.

Edit 2: Trying the steps in the "problematic" version actually fixed the issue. No flickering, sound and XDG_DATA_DIRS now works.

Thanks for the tip @HarryMichal !

I had very similar issues after upgrade from 35.20211229.0 to 35.20220210.0 (no sound devices, unable to connect with bluetooth devices nor pair new ones, some applications and command being very slow). I discussed it with @HarryMichal and https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/troubleshooting/#_selinux_problems was the solution for me.

And this worked for me too 🎉 !!

If I'm not mistaken you are encountering this issue https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2042157 ?

Likely due to an outdated SELinux policy. Closing as we have fixes in rpm-ostree & SELinux utils for that now.
