Starting network services from emergency mode command prompt ?
by linux guy
Hi all.
I accidentally interrupted a dnf update and messed up the boot process on
my server. I got the machine booting to an emergency mode command prompt
via grub2 commands. (Painful !)
I need to run dnf with a network connection to finish fixing things. I
tried grub2-mkconfig, but it needs more than that.
How does one get networking running in Fedora 28 x86_64 from the emergency
mode command prompt ?
Thanks

I need granny games!
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
I have a customer (actually she is a great grand mother) who
wants me "specifically" to put her together a cheap machine
to only play Freecell. No internet, no printing, no sound.
So Xfce, Fedora, and K Patience to the rescue.
Now I know that K Patience contains Freecell, but I
was wondering if there are some other granny games I
could put on it. You know games like Solitaire that
would make teenagers run screaming for their lives!
Those "Granny" games.
Many thanks,
-T

fetchmail and Fedora 29
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I noticed that sudo dnf upgrade --releasever 29 --best --allowerasing
takes out fetchmail. I depend on it and like it a lot. Is it being removed on Fedora? What are the alternatives?
Many thanks,
Ranjan

RE: OT: IBM to buy RedHat
by J.Witvliet@mindef.nl
Heartbroken?
No improvement ever without change, (although not every change lead to improvement.)
Sometimes purchases/buy-outs works out fine. Like the purchase of StarOffice by SUN-Microsystems.
I admit, the world of Open Source does has victims, sometimes not caused by corporate-management but even by technicians vs community.
No, I did not mention the replacement of init.d by bloatware…

I feel as though I've been kicked in the back of the neck.....by Bruce Lee! I don't presume to know the first thing about corporations, mergers, and long term financials,.... And while Red Hat was a corporation per se.....I've always loved Fedora for being different, for being the odd distro that was backed by a major corporation ....but was still able to support itself independently. Now? I'm just "leery". I don't know what plans IBM has for their new found "toy".....& I'd rather not be surprised as others have said. So the question is:
Are there any .rpm-based distros that would make a good replacement for Fedora?....
Heartbroken in the world of Open Source.

How to turn on networking from rescue boot
by vendor@billoblog.com
So... I did a "sudo dnf upgrade" and things seemed to do well.
However, when I rebooted, it hangs on bootup with the statment "Holding
until bootup processes complete" or something like that -- I'm doing
this from memory. I tried with a couple of older kernels, but they also
hung.
I assume that this is some transient thing associated with the upgrade.
Over the years, I've had glitches appear on an upgrade and disappear on
the next upgrade. Accordingly, I'd like to boot into rescue mode and
see if I can upgrade again.
However, I've forgotten how to turn on wifi networking from rescue mode.
Can anybody point me to a tutorial?
Thanks,
billo

Re: OT: IBM to buy RedHat

Could this be why IBM is looking at RHEL:
Who was around 1980 and followed what happened to the IBM PC when M$ was
supposed to be writing PCDOS and then OS/2 all with IBM's money.
Now that M$ is starting to look at Linux, IBM is afraid that M$ will own
every server and desktop that isn't running Solaris or AIX. Also, IBM
has invested at least $2 billion in RHEL.
