After clicking the dnfdragora icon on the dash the GUI comes up all gray and after cashing updates gets to either 33% or 66% The popup window appears with "python3 Is Not Responding" waiting multiple times does not help. I have tried removing and installing dnfdragora. Reinstalling dnfdragora. I've reinstalled Fedora Workstation42 trying again. All the installs are on bare metal with F42 Workstation Live with anaconda set to use whole disk and no encryption. The installs for dnfdragora are from the command line "sudo dnf install -y dnfdragora" When I start dnfdragora from the command line "dnfdragora" I get: $ dnfdragora Try reading configuration file From ./dnfdragora.yaml Skipped exception: <[Errno 2] No such file or directory: './dnfdragora.yaml'> From /etc/dnfdragora/dnfdragora.yaml Finally read user settings from /home/portablepc/.config/dnfdragora.yaml Skipped exception: <[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/portablepc/.config/dnfdragora.yaml'> Logging disabled <_M_> [ui] YUILoader.cc:60 loadUI(): DISPLAY: ":0" <_M_> [ui] YUILoader.cc:61 loadUI(): XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP: "GNOME" <_M_> [ui] YUILoader.cc:62 loadUI(): YUI_PREFERED_BACKEND: "" <_M_> [ui] YUILoader.cc:74 loadUI(): Detected a Gtk-based desktop environment. <_M_> [ui] YUILoader.cc:74 loadUI(): Prefering Gtk-UI if available and no <_M_> [ui] YUILoader.cc:74 loadUI(): user-selected override is present. <_M_> [ui] YUILoader.cc:96 loadUI(): User-selected UI-plugin: "" <_M_> [ui] YUILoader.cc:128 loadUI(): Using UI-plugin: "gtk" <_M_> [ui] YUI.cc:83 YUI(): This is libyui 4.2.16 <_M_> [ui] YUI.cc:84 YUI(): Creating UI without threads <_M_> [gtk] YGUI.cc:49 YGUI(): This is libyui-gtk 2.52.5 <_M_> [gtk] YGUI.cc:166 checkInit(): Style "/usr/share/libyui/theme/current/wizard/style.css" <_M_> [gtk] YGUI.cc:188 checkInit(): Style "/usr/share/libyui/theme/current/wizard/style.css" not found.

Install dnfdragora 2. Reboot 3. Click dnfdrgaora icon Actual Results: As described above in details. This is a regression from F41 Workstation operation of dnfdragora. Expected Results: dnfdragora opens and successfully gets ready for use.
This bug is still present in Rawhide (43 candidate). As I have been testing the F43 candidate (several nominated for testing drops) I always load dnfdragora and try it before install anything else or do any but the required coonfigurations (user, pwd, etc). dnfdragora still will not run as of the latest test drop and after updates. The last dnfdragora that would run was on F41. I'm guessing dnfdragora may be dropped from the repo. If so will there be a replacement. dnfdragora was very handy for finding packages that aren't accessible via Gnome Software or Discovery. It also provided handy links to upstream.
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 42 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 42 on 2026-05-13.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 42 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed.
