Posting from my Fedora 28 + Cinnamon laptop sitting at Panera.

done...

My desktop at home was in the reboot stage when I left.

I just opened my laptop at Panera and used ssh over ZeroTier into my desktop to jump to something else. All working.

My home desktop, work desktop, and home laptop upgraded successfully.

For my own amusement, I’m using salt to upgrade a few of my home lab VMs at once.

Well, guess I know what I'll be doing with the home lab today. Updates, updates for everything!

Main desktop is on 28 now. Main laptop updating.

Will likely have to update this evening - need the desktop for the day to run NTG stuffs..

Slowpoke, I'm up to 5 of 6 updating. They're all still in process tho, my home lab box is horribly iops constrained.

scottalanmiller

Fourth one just kicked off.

scottalanmiller

The fifth machine around here is Ubuntu and went to 18.04 a few days ago.

Nice that LibreOffice 6 is in there now.

I noticed the logo was different on the splash screen, but never looked to see the version.

Doesn't matter. I just need it to work.

Can't get this upgrade to work. Atleast the reboot process does not work to say the least.
so i did all the steps explained on several pages like already explained above this thread from @JaredBusch
After dnf -y system-upgrade reboot the system reboots and succeeds the installation i guess? (No errors)
Then the system reboots again and the VirtualBox VM window stays black.... just black.. nothing to press or to click..
Anyone else has this kind of problem?

Edit: I did revert back to Fedora 27 with an old snapshot. That worked. I will take another try, when there is a new virtualbox update. Windows 1803 update crashed my vbox machines today aswell... not a good day to do updates it seems.

Did you by chance have virtualbox guest add on installed already? You can try removing it first.
