system-upgrade from CIFS-mounted repo?

2019-05-29 Thread Greg Woods
I have a feeling that when this is resolved I'll be doing a face palm and saying "of course, you idiot!" but I'm not seeing the answer right now. I have a local repo that I maintain using rsync from an official Fedora mirror site. This repo is located on one of my "always-on" servers using a syste

I created an F30 Live USB stick, but it won't boot properly. What happens is that it drops into emergency mode (dracut). Prior to this, journal messages from dracut-initqueue appear on the screen, the same message repeating every few seconds for a minute or so, then it drops into emergency mode. T

Re: hibernate stops working after upgrade to F29 from F28

I saw the same thing when upgrading from F27 to F28. "systemctl hibernate" just prints the "Failed to hibernate system via logind" error, and "pm-hibernate" (still around from F22 pm-utils) starts the shutdown and then hangs. In my case at least, it appears to be a kernel bug. The upgrade also mov

It is possible to get yourself in trouble if you have more than one EFI partition. My two were on the same drive; I don't know if that makes a difference.
