Is there a canonical way to get to the panels, better than trial and error? If I can locate and them, via GUI or via CLI, maybe it'll be apparent to me or to someone here what is wrong and how to fix them. > The other option is to open a terminal > and manually mount the partitions. Hoo, boy! I can't remember the last time I touched a partition. > Are you trying to fix the installed system, backup data, or re-install? I'd prefer to fix, and keep what data are on it, particularly the panels; but if that's a big job, or beyond my ability, I'm willing to re- install, restore, and tweak. There is nothing crucial on this machine, only stuff I'd like to take along if I ever do take it anywhere. IF (big if) there is likely to be anything interesting in its own right to you or anyone on the team, I'm willing to be walked through whatever it takes; I owe Fedora and all its people big time. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
