The /etc/greenboot/greenboot.conf file is overwritten when upgrading / downgrading the package.
This prevents from user customizations to persist following an OS upgrade.

  1. sudo dnf downgrade -y greenboot
  2. Edit or create /etc/greenboot/greenboot.conf
# grep -vE '^$|^#' /etc/greenboot/greenboot.conf 
GREENBOOT_MAX_BOOT_ATTEMPTS=1
GREENBOOT_WATCHDOG_CHECK_ENABLED=true
  1. sudo dnf upgrade -y greenboot
  2. Check the file contents
# grep -vE '^$|^#' /etc/greenboot/greenboot.conf 
GREENBOOT_WATCHDOG_CHECK_ENABLED=true

Good catch, we need to label that as a config so it doesn't do that. Will have a fix shortly.

This should be fixed with this update: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2024-db58423740

I've tagged it so it'll appear in the next F-40 compose.

Thank you, @nullr0ute, for the quick fix!

I was curious about the commit, so here you go - https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/greenboot/c/8e29d4027242c0ffbf1007963ae84b92c278fb74?branch=rawhide

This was the main fix, I did some other cleanup:

  •        %{_sysconfdir}/%{name}/greenboot.conf

  •        %config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/%{name}/greenboot.conf
