Remove an Old or New kernel in Fedora

To remove a kernel in Fedora, follow these steps:

Identify the kernel you want to remove using the uname -r command. This will display the currently running kernel version.

Use the rpm -qa | grep ^kernel command to list all of the installed kernel packages on your system. Look for the kernel package that you want to remove. It will be named kernel-version, where version is the version number of the kernel you want to remove.

Example:

rpm -qa | grep ^kernel

proves the kernel 6.0.11 is still present:

kernel-core-6.0.11-300.fc37.x86_64
kernel-modules-6.0.11-300.fc37.x86_64
kernel-devel-6.0.11-300.fc37.x86_64
kernel-6.0.11-300.fc37.x86_64
kernel-core-6.0.12-300.fc37.x86_64
kernel-modules-6.0.12-300.fc37.x86_64
kernel-devel-6.0.12-300.fc37.x86_64
kernel-6.0.12-300.fc37.x86_64

to remove older kernel the below command will have to be used.

sudo dnf remove kernel-headers-6.0.5-300.fc37.x86_64
sudo dnf remove kernel-core-6.0.11-300.fc37.x86_6
sudo dnf remove kernel-modules-6.0.11-300.fc37.x86_64
sudo dnf remove kernel-6.0.11-300.fc37.x86_64

you can follow the below step too.

sudo dnf remove $(rpm -qa | grep ^kernel | grep 6\.0.11)

After uninstalling the kernel, you will need to update the GRUB boot menu so that the removed kernel is no longer listed as an option. To do this, run the grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg command. This will regenerate the GRUB configuration file with the updated list of kernels.

Reboot your system to apply the changes. The removed kernel will no longer be listed in the boot menu.

Note: Keep in mind that you should not remove the kernel that is currently running. If you do, you will not be able to boot your system. It is recommended to always have at least two kernels installed so that you have a fallback in case something goes wrong.

Upskilling is Survival

Upskilling is no longer a “nice to have” for leaders. It's " SURVIVAL " The unpleasant reality? The moment they begin managing, most leaders stop learning. While the world moves more quickly than their perspective, they rely on prior experiences. Technology evolves. Teams evolve. Expectations change throughout time. You become the bottleneck if you don't. Today, being a leader isn't about knowing everything. It's about remaining current enough to pose pertinent queries. The most effective leaders I've encountered: Acquire knowledge more quickly than their teams Continue to be involved in change Invest in your abilities before they become essential. If you’re not actively upskilling, you’re not leading you’re just holding position. And in today’s market, that’s a risk you can’t afford.

Resize the Redhat XFS LVM partition

To resize a Redhat XFS LVM partition, you will need to follow these steps: Backup your data to a safe location. Resizing a partition always carries the risk of data loss, so it is important to have a backup before proceeding. Check if the partition is mounted. You cannot resize a mounted partition, so you will need to unmount it first. To do this, run the following command: umount /path/to/partition Check if the partition is part of an LVM. If it is, you will need to deactivate the volume group (VG) before you can resize the partition. To do this, run the following command: vgchange -an /dev/vg_name Use the fdisk command to delete the existing partition and recreate it with the new size. Make sure to specify the correct device name for your partition (e.g. /dev/sda1). Create a new physical volume (PV) on the resized partition: pvcreate /dev/sda1 Add the PV to the VG: vgextend /dev/vg_name /dev/sda1 Use the lvextend command to extend the logical volume (LV) to the desired size: lvextend...
