cannot reinstall Fedora 26 xfce workstation with an encrypted /home volume
Dear all,
I am new on linux/fedora systems adm, and thus I would appreciate your help for fixing my problem.
Due to the fact that I could not upgrade my previous Fedora 26xfce kernel of my office workstation, by using the command ´sudo dnf upgrade --refresh´as root. But, even after doing the ´dnf clean´, I got the same ERROR message: Failed to synchronize cache for repo ´updates
.
So I decided to reinstall everything from scratch, using the fedora 26 Live iso for workstations. The fact is that at the time, when i was doing manual partitioning, and I decided to encrypt a external 2 TBi that was used as /home for the user (admin). What happened next, was that, after carefully selecting the language (German, keyboard), this setting was not recognized in the the new setup, and the dnf message still was appearing.
But the major problem now, is that, I cannot reinstall the fedora 26 xfc again to remove the encryption configuration, when I run ANAconda via the UserLive, I just get a black screen with the job running in the ´background`.
Can anyone tell me how can I overcome the encryption problem?
Also, does anyone has any idea why I cannot run dnf? Could it be the proxy config of my workplace?
Thank you for all the help.
