good question ! cause to me it's not clear on what 1. architecture you are (x86_64 or i686) ? see your first post cit.: "...libcap-2.26-5.fc30.i686 needs..." => "i686" ! 2. kernel you are ? uname -a (show us the answers of this two questions) 3. fedora version you are ? your run of "dnf list extras" shows that you are somehow/partly on F30. But the main problem was - if I'm right - that the upgrade F29 => F30 hasn't worked ! according to the answer of my question 2. you need to be carefull if you remove the wrong kmod-nvidia for your running kernel ! I guess you could - remove all packages lower than F29 if you are currently on F29 - remove all i686 packages if you are on x86_64, with one exception - at least it was true in the past - (I guess it was named- don't know -) "glib-something.i686 ! you are on the save side if you exclude all packages with "lib" in it's name sudo dnf remove *.i686 --exclude=*lib* ... something like that... general: dnf history shows you what you have done with packages (install, upgrade, remove) in the past. see man dnf and search for "history" what I'm after is "dnf history undo <number>", means you are able to undo a remove in the sense of re-install. But - I guess - you can't undo a package from F28 repo if you are currently on F30 repo (see answer question 3.) If it would be clear on what Fedora version you are I would do the following see [**] - df -f (space before cleanage, just for the record) - clean up the above mess (remove i686 packages and all packages lower then F29) - sudo dnf clean all (delete the cache, means: to be downloaded again later, but maybe fewer packages - sudo dnf distro-sync (brings the box to a clean state on the current fedora version) - maybe a subsequent sudo dnf autoremove (handle with care !!!!!) - df -h (space after cleanage) - at least THE upgrade: 1. sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade (if anymore installed since cleanage) 2. sudo dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=30 --setopt='module_platform_id=platform:f30' --allowerasing command in 2. is ONE line (sudo ... allowerasing) ! 3. sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot 4. sudo dnf system-upgrade clean Does this clean the upgrade log's too ??? then 4. later until all is correct ! specials: 5. sudo dnf install rpmconf 6. sudo rpmconf -a (resets all configs under /etc/ to it's default state, handle with care !!!!!, maybe take a backup BEFORE) if you haven't edit the config file rpmconf is working on, i or y is a save option (you will be asked) 7. sudo touch /.autorelabel (selinux label to defaults) 8. reboot 9. boot errors ?: dmesg|grep -iEw 'bad|bug|conflict|corrupted|error|fail|failed|fault|fatal|invalid|Lock|NULL|segfault|stack|trace|warn' command in 9. is ONE line (dmesg ... warn') ! ALLWAYS think twice before hitting the "y"-key while cleaning with dnf remove/distro-sync/autoremove ! [**] apart from doing a new install and removing all the old cruft, cause so much work for an so old box ! => fc26 from above "mozjs24.x86_64 24.2.0-11.fc26 @@commandline" _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
