I just noticed that "gnome-software" has a release upgrade
option.

Anyone successfully use it?

That's been around for a long time.  It does the dnf offline upgrade and yes, it works.


Thank you!


I used gnome software to upgrade a lady from 38 to 40.  She
is getting a kernel panic.

Was the upgrade complete?
Is it crashing at boot or while running?


The upgrade did its thing at boot, then it rebooted.
The kernel panic happened just after the grub kernel
selection.

I did ran the gnome software upgrade remotely.  I
have noticed on my own machines certain grub kernels
do the same thing.  I would tell her to select
a different kernel, but she has tremors in her
hands and can barely type her password.  She also
gets upset when she has to read me error messages
to me.  (Q. What did it say.  A. I donot know.)

It turned out to be a bad fc40 kernel.  Booting into fc38's
got me running again.  I changed grubs rime out to 15 seconds
from 5 seconds so he shaking hands could get to it in time.
I also set grug.cfg to remember the last kernel booted.

Then I proceeded to up grade from 40 to 42.  Then 42 to 44.

Interesting, the "secure boot not enabled, press any key"
error on 38 and 40 vanished.
