Fedora 29 stuck in boot process
-
I have a Fedora 29 VM on my laptop via Hyper-V. Yesterday, booted just fine and shut it down before I left. Today, attempt to boot VM and its stuck here in the boot process.
Anybody got any ideas?
-
I restored from backups and got the machine back to running.
-
Interesting, but no idea.
-
@NerdyDad Were you able to look at logs or anything by using
ctrl+shift+f2
? -
@travisdh1 Didn't know about that. Will have to keep that in the back pocket. I restored and overwrote the VM from yesterday's backups.

Using
ctrl+shift+function key
gives you a different console window. Can be a real life-saver in situations like that. The only annoying thing is that different distributions use different default consoles. RedHat distros normally use f1, I know Ubuntu uses a different one, but forget what it is. -

I internalize it to much, it'll all escape at some point, you've all been warned!

I installed VLC, performed update (nothing there) and rebooted, it happened again. Did the
CTRL + ALT + F2
, and I am able to login. What do I do now? -
Removed VLC and reboot borked the entire process.

That sucks. Were you using the default repo?

Nope, RPM Fusion because that's what their instructions said to do.

Worked fine in 28. @JaredBusch said he got it to work. Do you recall how you did it Jared?

I uninstalled VLC first and by the end of the day VLC was in the packages again.
