For F17 try this one, rpm -qa kernel* We can manually set the existing kernels via grubby or automatically with rpm/yum install. Pick one.

Messed up Grub!
Hello All, I can't update my Fedora 17 box until sometime in July due to issues I won't bore you with. In the meantime I have another problem. Some time ago I had a crash during a yum update, the net result of which was the fact that the kernel it was installing at the time became corrupted (amongst other problems). I can boot into the previous kernel and everything works fine, except when I reboot. Naturally it wants to boot into the "latest" kernel. I have set the grub timeout to 5 seconds so I can select the older kernel and all is well. However, I thought I would be clever and set it to automatically boot to the second kernel, so I edited /etc/default/grub and changed GRUB_DEFAULT=saved to GRUB_DEFAULT=1. I then ran grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and rebooted. Now I appear to have lost my earlier kernel options and it boots into the corrupted version. [edit] No wait - It seems I have to go into "advanced" options from grub where I can pick the older kernel [/edit] What did I do wrong - and how do I get it to default to my working kernel? Thanks Mark =8<=== cat /etc/default/grub GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Fedora" GRUB_DEFAULT=saved #GRUB_DEFAULT=2 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 SYSFONT=True KEYTABLE=uk rd.luks=0 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rhgb quiet" #GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub2/themes/system/theme.txt" =8<=== signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Further to thisI checked the grub.cfg and the other kernels are in the list. But Grub is not displaying them when advanced options is picked. It only displays the one kernel. Be more accurate when describing what you've done. Verify that you really run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and not use any symlink that would be replaced incorrectly. Then, if you see all the kernels in that grub.cfg, figure out whether they are visible in the top menu. Perhaps upload that grub.cfg to fpaste. Of course, you need to be sure that it's the file that GRUB loads, so insert something that would be displayed at boot-time, and verify it's the file. The first line of my post says ..."when I run grub2-mkconfig from my Fedora 19 partition"... No symlinks are involved. Taking Pomas suggestion I simplified my /etc/default/grub.cfg to the bare minimums and in this convoluted way solved my problem. But all I get now is a bare bones minimum menu...but that's OK. I suspect as another poster suggested here there are still a few undocumented or badly documented bugs/features in grub :) -- --Cheers-- -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

This appear to work nicely, btw.

I didn't know you could do that, it gives me a list I'll have to look at in detail. -- Fedora 18 -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

I already started vncserver as service along the lines of the above -Type=simple -ExecStart=/sbin/runuser -l -c "/usr/bin/vncserver %i -geometry x -fg" +Type=forking +-ExecStart=/sbin/runuser -l -c "/usr/bin/vncserver %i -geometry x" for a long time, but it did not start a valid session and thus polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 didn't start. My .vnc/xstartup then calls /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and my .Xclient calls startxfce4 (with --with-ck-launch until yesterday). I don't see anything in the above which would change that behaviour.
