Hi, Ed Greshko: >> Have you put an "exclude" in the dnf config? the anonymous home user: > "dnf config"? > Where is that? When unsure, you can use the locate command to find likely suspects (e.g. "dnf" named things) in the usual places for configuration files (i.e. inside /etc). locate dnf|grep etc With /etc/dnf/dnf.conf being the main configuration file, and there may be other things of interest within /etc/dnf/. But look in the /etc/dnf.conf file for any "exlude" entries. > And are you saying I do want an "exclude" there, or I don't want an > "exclude" there? You're being asked if you'd put one in, and forgotten about it. An exclude would stop updates (for particular packages listed with the exclude).

Sorry, the file /etc/dnf/dnf.conf Sometimes people don't want a package to be updated as they lose some functionality in newer versions or a plugin to an app is no longer supported. So, they add excludepkgs=name,name to that file or one of the repo files.

Part of that was due (excuse) to not having a working gnome VM. I recalled that doing updates on gnome wouldn't result in info recorded with dnf (history). Well, I just installed a F31 gnome VM and found that updates and installs using the gnome-software util do what I recall it not doing in the past. I don't know enough about how gnome-software goes about setting up the reboot process to do the updates.

Try running "dnf system-upgrade log", although that probably doesn't work for regular offline updates. If it gives you a log from the right time, then run "dnf system-upgrade log --number=1" (replace 1 with the right log number). See if you can find an error message. If that didn't work, then run "journalctl --list-boots" and find the one for the right time. Then run "journalctl -b -1" (again replace with the right number).
