For those following this thread, I rebooted the desktop remotely and it came back successfully. For those not following, for some reason after a fedora30 upgrade from fedora29, it did not properly add the default route, making it impossible to connect to the system remotely using ssh. Here's the working config: $ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Wired_connection_2 HWADDR=00:0E:0C:3B:35:68 DEVICE=enp4s6 NAME=enp4s6 TYPE=Ethernet PROXY_METHOD=none BROWSER_ONLY=no BOOTPROTO=none IPADDR=192.168.9.110 PREFIX=24 GATEWAY=192.168.9.1 DEFROUTE=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no IPV6INIT=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no IPV6_ADDR_GEN_MODE=stable-privacy NAME="Wired connection 2" UUID=850cde8f-7dc2-364a-8911-e511cdbea2e4 ONBOOT=yes AUTOCONNECT_PRIORITY=-999 DNS1=167.206.112.138 DNS2=8.8.4.4 $ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default _gateway 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 enp4s6 192.168.9.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 100 0 0 enp4s6 192.168.122.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 virbr0 _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
