Well, root should be able to do *everything*. So, it sounds as if that system has much more issues than just new users not "working". It sounds, to me, as if it would be a waste of effort to try to get it working only to do a fresh install. So, I would just wait until you can get the help you need to move stuff and then do a fresh install of F32. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ 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
