So... I did a "sudo dnf upgrade" and things seemed to do well. However, when I rebooted, it hangs on bootup with the statment "Holding until bootup processes complete" or something like that -- I'm doing this from memory. I tried with a couple of older kernels, but they also hung.
I assume that this is some transient thing associated with the upgrade. Over the years, I've had glitches appear on an upgrade and disappear on the next upgrade. Accordingly, I'd like to boot into rescue mode and see if I can upgrade again.
However, I've forgotten how to turn on wifi networking from rescue mode.
Can anybody point me to a tutorial?
Thanks,
billo

I can't give you a tutorial since I've not had to boot into rescue mode. I'm assuming in rescue mode you are not in a GUI interface.
Well, in that case I'd probably use "nmcli". Network Manager Command Line Interface.
Personally, I 'd have to resort to checking out the man page since that is something I rarely use. But it should get you to where you need to be.

I think starting NetworkManager should take care of that: # systemctl start NetworkManager
However, I've forgotten how to turn on wifi networking from rescue mode.

You could use the "iw" commands:
man iw
which should give you the info you need. "NAME iw - show / manipulate wireless devices and their configuration"
if you would like to review a tutorial:
http://linuxcommando.blogspot.com/2013/10/how-to-connect-to-wpawpa2-wifi-net...
has a decent write up if a bit dated. Should get you pointed in the right direction but everything still looks good on quick review.

Thanks to everybody for the replies. None of these worked, however. The weird thing was that when I tried the nmcli or tried to turn on NetworkManager, it dropped me back to the login prompt.
I eventually gave up and reinstalled.

I'm experiencing the exact same issue. Anyone know why ?
