Fedup to F22: No System Upgrade in GRUB menu
Greetings, I tried to upgrade an x86_64 Intel desktop today per the instructions located here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp#How_Can_I_Upgrade_My_System_with_FedUp.3F and having successfully done an i386 Dell laptop recently. On reboot, there was no System Upgrade choice in the GRUB menu. I reviewed the instructions, which advised rebuilding grub (the assumption was that the grub was incompatible because it was from another Linux installation; in my case it was fresh install of F21). The commands that were issued (from the instructions): grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg grub2-install /dev/sda (replace /dev/sda by any other device you prefer to boot from) (in my case /dev/sda1) I rebooted, and I was back in F21. Much thanks for any advice on how to proceed here.

I think that's the one that does the actual update. I haven't done an F22 upgrade yet, so the text in the wiki may not reflect the F22 terminology. Try booting that Linux with Fedup thing and see if it does the upgrade. I made three more passes doing fedup --network 22 On the first pass, I had loaded the new-ish kernel from the GRUB-menu. fedup gave me some errors and terminated. On the last (3rd or 4th), I loaded the latest FC21 kernel from GRUB, then did fedup. It verfied all of my downloads, then told me to to reboo. When I rebooted, I had a System Upgrade. From there it worked correctly. Obviously, there must be some logic that explains the first two-three failures, and then the final success. Don't know what that is, though. -- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigitalri...@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - -- - Money can't buy happiness, but it can take the sting out of being - - miserable! - -- Max -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
