installing sugar-desktop from another DE (ie gnome3 or KDE) as a second Desktop Environment

  • In Root Terminal:
yum install @sugar-desktop sugar-runner xorg-x11-server-Xephyr
sugar-runner is the replacement for sugar-emulator.

know how to force a reinstall of a kernel

yum reinstall kernel isn't doing anything
you need to re-run the scriptlets
this is not done with "yum reinstall"
"rpm -q --scripts kernel-version-release" would tell you what to rerun

Dracut Options

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Dracut/Options#Network
"The root filesystem used by the kernel is specified in the boot configuration file, as always.
The traditional root=/dev/hda1 style device specification is allowed.
If a label is used, as in root=LABEL=rootPart the initrd will search all available devices for an ext2 or ext3 filesystem with the appropriate label,
and mount that device as the root filesystem. root=UUID=uuidnumber will mount the partition with that UUID as the root filesystem."

Not ready maybe in f21?
To run gnome-shell under Wayland, execute the following command in a terminal:

Gnome Initial Setup

  • Screenshots of gnome3 initial setup with explanatory text
  • Be sure to enter both root and user in anaconda
Gnome-initial-setup requires a stornger password than anaconda does.
  • This is important if you plan to use multiple Desktop Environments (DE) you will end up with 2 Users once you run the 2nd DE. ie gnome3 and KDE
If you do not setup the user name and password in anaconda G-I-S will run in anaconda and repeat I-S when you boot the second DE
Bug in G-I-S and I-S (Initial-setup)
