This is fine as far as it goes, however I just had a failed boot because although the akmod RPM did compile, it had an install error (the key line being "sqlite3.OperationalError: database is locked"). When I managed to track it down I went back and simply ran dnf manually on the same RPM. It installed and booted correctly. I've no idea what the origin of the problem was. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
