And it looks like it was triggered by this: Aug 28 19:05:39 localhost systemd[1]: Received SIGRTMIN+20 from PID 569 (plymouthd). After that message, systemd starts shutting down instead of starting up. Do you have fedora-release for fc38 installed? I can't see how you wouldn't, but just confirming. It looks like there is a bug in the code that is determining whether os-release is present, but only for warm restarts, not for cold boots. That would be plymouthd. Or whatever is creating the warm restart isn't creating it properly, so that plymouthd can recognize it, I think that would be systemd. Were either of those in the large batch of updates you installed? If so, you could try downgrading them from koji to see if it fixes the error. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/ _______________________________________________ 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
