Now I am in trouble.
My system locked up. I think I was rsyncing some more data from my
old
to new system and was in thunderbird.
Looking at how to set up firefox sync, so I had firefox running as
well.
I tried opening up console:2 and logging in as root, but no
response.
So I hit the power button.
On repower I end up in maint mode needing my root password.
something about a /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt ?
So I have to rebuild? Is the drive toast? There is mail data that
got
moved to local folders and that might be all that was lost and only a
few dozen messages.
But what do I do to get this system moving again.
Reinstall from scratch. You do have backups of your data don't you?
Reinstall is started. Blew away everything.
3164 rpms to download over my 300gps fiber link. All I feel I need to
pay for.
Little lost: Only that stuff done since I migrated data over from this
old F41 system to the new F44.
I lost a few emails that got moved to local store. I suspect I can live
with that, as when I started my 4 copies of Thunderbird, each one had
less than 20 messages to download. And in fact when I returned here and
restarted Thunderbirds, they may well have been downloaded here. With
how IMAP works.
And a couple text files like my install instruction file were I took my
old F41 instructions and updated for F44.
So it does not hurt too bad.
Lost time and all that. Probably rushing too much. Next week AUVSI is
here in Detroit and it is a treat for a meeting/conference with just a
few miles drive. Of course that means each night I come back to the
HoneyDo patch!
