Hello I did as you advised and my system installed the kernel 6.9.4
Nothing really changed. Still hung at that same exact spot. Honestly the only thing I'd like right now is to know what Job dev-mapper-cl\x2dswap.device/start means
Still thank you for replying
Sorry for responding so late I was busy at the moment.
I didn't fully understand what you meant by " run updates until you get a 6.9"
Also what exactly should I be downloading and installing. The new patched kernel?
What chown command should I try. I've already tried
sudo chown -R adelie:adelie /home
Honestly I feel like I've done everything at this point. Do you think I should reinstall fedora and partition root as ext4 instead of btrfs?
I'll do that but just to be clear this is my partition table
adelie@localhost-live:~$ lsblk -f
NAME FSTYPE FSVER LABEL UUID FSAVAIL FSUSE% MOUNTPOINTS

It's all ok then.
I'd like to know what this command will do before I run it.
yes /home is 23, and /new_home is 24, what does this mean?
I didn't know users had id numbers, any way to check my current one. I've changed fstab to what is was originally since then. I've made an edit to clarify this.
I've entered into my root account to check the mount points and yes I can confrim everything mounted properly. I simply can't login, as far as I can tell. I've made an edit on the post to clarify this.
Old drive with current home directory = Drive A
New drive I wish to use a home directory = Drive B, I gave it an extra file named confirm.txt
I did have a root user account, I just didn't know how to boot into it
The first time around I forgot to copy my old home folder into my new home folder, but now I know that wasn't the issue.
After a bit of fiddling I decided to reinstall fedora.
I tried to separate my / and /home from the fedora installer; for some reason fedora wouldn't let me. Any time I tried to set my /home on my 1TB drive fedora would place my / into said drive. Just to clarify I want my / and everything in it to stay in my 500GB nvme and my /home to be in my 1TB ssd.
I just cut my loses and let fedora do it's usual install in Drive A. Drive B was left untouched.
For the new install I decided to do some thing different
In / I made two new partitions /new_home and /old_home
I went into fstab and made both drives mount; Drive A mounted into /home and Drive B into /new_home
I rebooted; Logged in as normal and Drive B successfully mounted
From here I reversed it, Drive A into /old_home and Drive B into /home
I rebooted; I entered into the KDE Login screen as usual. I typed my password correctly but after a short animation I was placed back into the login screen.
I logged in as root and checked if everything mounted correctly. It did. From / my /home would place me into Drive B the one with confirm.txt. And Drive A was in /old_home
So now I'm confused. Everything mounted properly but I still can't login with my account. I'm assuming this might be a KDE problem but I'd like your opinion.
This is cool, thank you
Thanks for linking the thread, I spent a whole day looking through fedoraproject threads, don't know how I missed this one. Again thanks.
