What does journalctl -r show happening before the error? Is there a pid file left around from a previous crash? What updates were performed? I think you can see that in /var/log/dnf.log? If there is something there that looks like it might have caused the problem, you can do a dnf downgrade on that package, or if it is no longer available in older version go to http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/search?match=glob&type=package to pick up the older binary rpm and use dnf -C downgrade [package name]. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
