Template:Dnf upgrade procedure: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 01:36, 3 September 2015

Do a full system update and reboot
Install the latest version of dnf-plugin-system-upgrade from the stable or updates repository
Start the upgrade prep by executing:
- sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=<version>
- <version> is the version of Fedora you are upgrading to (currently 42)
If you need to use a local mirror to test a brand new change, you can enable it as normal, e.g.:
- sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=<version> --enablerepo=<name>
To aid debugging, run this command to enable a root shell on VT9 during the upgrade boot:
- sudo systemctl add-wants system-update.target debug-shell.service
If dnf system-upgrade download has completed without error, run:
- sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot
Once the system reboots, the system should boot into the upgrade process and a fedup progress screen should be displayed
- Pressing Esc should switch from the graphical progress screen to the text progress information display
Once the upgrade process has completed, the system should reboot and an option to boot the new release should be on the grub menu
Log in to the upgraded system, open a terminal, file browser, or other system applications
