Hi everyone!
A few days ago, I had a problem while trying to run KDE and Gnome as DE on Fedora 40. That problem was solved (see crosspost), but now, I can't update Fedora anymore as it says "the transaction did not complete" and I can't install or uninstall anything as it says I don't have space on my disk (which is not true).
Does anyone have an idea what to do?
Edit: apparently dnf clean and dnf clean all solved the problem, so thank you everyone as I was kind of panicking when I thought about all the work involved into having my perfect install again.

Hi everyone!
Today I tried to install KDE alongside Gnome to give it a try on Fedora on something else than a virtual machine.
For a reason I can't understand, the terminal couldn't finish the installation of KDE as something failed. Despite all of this, all the KDE apps were installed and Plasma is appearing as an option on the login screen under Gnome and Gnome Classic. Still I couldn't launch KDE plasma and nothing was happening after typing my login.
I took it as a sign that KDE isn't for me, especially because I'm 99% happy with Gnome.
So I removed KDE via the terminal and the remaining apps via the software center. Sadly, there is one app called "Centre de bienvenue" or "Welcome center" from KDE that I can't remove. Nothing is happening when I try removing it.
I tried removing it via the terminal, but when I type "dnf list installed" I can't find it as there are too many packages. Could anyone help me?
I also tried « dnf list installed » with the words « welcome », « bienvenue », « kde » and « plasma ».
What does
df -hin your terminal say how much free space your system has?Here are the results
I don't think free space is really the problem.
Btrfs and df don't get along. There are all sorts of internals to btrfs that non btrfs utils ignore. You should run
It will give you a better picture of what is going on.
Balancing my help as someone above pointed out, or you may need to boot to a live media of some kind and rebuild the free space cache. Especially with btrfs I encourage people to join their mailing list for help. The devs are awesome and can help you get sorted out.
/dev/nvme0n1p3 shows up mounted twice, that's kinda strange
That's normal on btrfs
didn't knew that... why it happens?
They are different subvolumes in the same filesystem but df doesn't show subvolumes
understood, thanks
Mounted as / and /home
Yeah that's really odd.
Btrfs uses subvolumes instead of traditional partitioning. It takes some getting use to but it is totally normal for btrfs.
This command won't show the real values when using btrfs. You need to use
sudo btrfs filesystem usage <mount point>.
