I don't see how this helps my situation, not why you seem to have bought it up as if to...deny what I've already observed in my own case? > Hopefully the lesson is that installing over an existing install is > going to cause some problems with that original install. Yes, although I'm starting to see some wider lessons about the nature of Linux itself and the discussions around it. But for now I want to focus on fixing my current problem. > Since you've already solved all the problems once, won't it be easy to > redo that?

No, a lot of those fixes I frankly dont remember now, and in several cases, I'm not even sure what I did that actually solved the problem. And the discussion here so far is very discouraging in terms of getting any productive advice. I'm trying as hard as I am able to provide as much detail as I can, and keep up, and everyone seems largely intent on lording as much terminology as they can over me to gloat at my inability to translate it to meaningful actions, quibbling over side points, or now, seemingly denying there's a problem in the first place. Case in point being you own choice to ignore my request to clarify the scatter-shot of previously mentioned commands, in favor of going on a tangent about how "well, all my laptops work", as if all you're really interested in is invalidating me for asking in the first place. Frankly, it's offputting and more than a little offensive. _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
