 Seems ok. Had to do this later for "events" as well. Do not forget to remove the recovery setting and restart mariadb so that home assistant can connect. Moved away from remote mariadb hass database to the default sqlite implementation with a database on an ssd. Set up a nightly backup through an automation to to avoid all these issues. Seems quicker as well.

  You may need to upgrade the squeezeboxserver rpm. Maybe update java version used for minecraft. See those chapters. (Old, running nouveau with modern gfx-card nowadays: You may need to uninstall and install nvidia drivers again, at least uninstall the newly created kmod-nvidia and rebuild it using akmods.)

   - New samba 4.11 disables smbv1 by default which does not work with my tablet used as a photo frame. See samba section above for how to fix.
-  - Autologin had to be reconfigured in /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf for fedora 37 AND fedora 40. Just add back the autologin line, see the .rpmsave file.
