Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    sudo dnf up

    Works for me.

    Sorry, that will forever be Did Not Finish for me. 😣

    Speedcubing or racing games? That's where I know that term from

    While that works, it sometimes might break things: https://fedoramagazine.org/offline-updates-and-fedora-35/

    Crashes are just the system telling me to restart. As god intended.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Except if you ran the update from within a graphical session and your session crashed, as this will kill DNF, making the update incomplete and potentially corrupting files. I recommend you either:

    • use the graphical updaters
    • run dnf from a TTY
    • or use some of the atomic spins, having atomic updates on btrfs subvolumes

    Switched to nix in the meantime.

    Thanks, i might start using that so i can continue work while it's installing. Even if I'm going to reboot later, i won't have to wait for it to install before using the system.

    You need to "sudo dnf clean all" first to make sure you get the freshest index!

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    You can do that, but it is not necessary.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    It's not necessary but you'll get updates quicker. And I'm a chronic updater, even pick and choose stuff from updates-testing.

    I recommend "dnf automatic" to fetch the latest package index in background
