Im giving a go fedora silverblue on a new laptop but Im unable to boot (and since im a linux noob the first thing i tried was installing it fresh again but that didnt resolve it).
its a single drive partitioned to ext4 and encrypted with luks (its basically the default config from the fedora installation)
any ideas for things to try?
rm /home
mkdir /home
make /var/home a symlink to it.
Alternative, edit your /etc/fstab to mount on /var/home.
Don’t you have that backwards? This is an atomic distro, and you’d want to mkdir /var/home
then symlink /home
from that, no? Otherwise, you’ll wind up with a home directory that is immutable.
editing the /etc/fstab didnt work (I just changed the path but not sure if the uuid plays any part) but ill give the rm/mkdir part a go
Did you update your initramfs after? The new fstab doesn’t apply until you refresh that
No but I rebooted the system after the change. do still need to update it regardless the reboot?
