My equipment arrangement has grown over the years and the computers are in rack and panel type enclosures secured only at the front panel to aluminum angle verticals I drilled and tapped for screws, it is heavy and the server is near the bottom of the stack. I can't just pull it out without fear the aluminum angles will give and bend so a block of wood will need to be cut to fill the vacant space.

It tells me root can't do that and ignores the setting, sleeps, actually more like a coma, in a short time, as it has been doing since yesterday afternoon. The server wants the power cycled off/on to wake it. That is why ssh is most convenient. I believe I created the new user shown directly from the console but I've gone back and forth so many times I may be confused and will check again this morning. The server rarely gets shut down and I have to go around to the other side and push a button, can't tell it to reboot or shutdown, it does not respond to the keyboard when it goes into that sleep/coma condition! > Well, root should be able to do *everything*. So, it sounds as if that system has much more issues than just new users not "working". It sounds, to me, as if it would be a waste of effort to try to get it working only to do a fresh install. So, I would just wait until you can get the help you need to move stuff and then do a fresh install of F32. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ 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
