Re: A personal story - Rawhide related

I regret to inform you all that I borked my beloved beautiful install of Rawhide.      All is not lost though,
as I had planned to eventually do a new install eventually.

I have Fedora 33 on my secondary NVMe and I am in it now.

I had better sense than to reboot, but I had lost my internet connection, I think when I did a systemctl restart
of the Network Manager.    Who knows.     It is all way above my paygrade.

One issue that I was having was the transaction would not run the test ( meaning the packages would download but
not update. )    I could manually update them individually though, and I tried that for about two hours, until my
internet connection dropped.      I think that may be where I really screwed up, because I may not have got all the gnome
packages updated. 

And I did not see the advice you all gave me, because my internet had dropped.     ( In hindsight, I should have looked
at my phone ) 

Another issue I was having, was I must have downloaded each of the 2200 plus packages a dozen times, as dnf
could not remember that I had already downloaded them, as I tried to manually update them, but they did update individually.

So when I boot into Rawhide now, I get the sad-face-emoji-screen ( sfes ?  LOL ! ) after the whirly Fedora thing.    It ask for a keyring
password, and after entering that I have no idea what to do.  


Long story short, is that I have been semi-homeless for a while, and I was house-sitting tonight where they had an
ethernet connection, and so I went to get my computer out of a rental-storage unit, where it had been since
November.     I was surprised it even booted, as we had a 4 day freeze, and the unit is quiet humid.    I will likely have to put
my computer back in storage tomorrow.     But I will be back to fix it.     Who knows, NVMe, may be obsolete by then.  LOL !
