- <screen><command>set-time <replaceable>"2012-10-27 01:02:03"</replaceable></command></screen>

A system may also have a <emphasis>transient</emphasis> hostname assigned by a dhcp server. <application>hostnamectl</application> is provided for administering these hostnames:

- </para>
- <note>
- <title>Go get some coffee</title>

- </para>
- </note>
- <para>
- You can access the debug shell by switching to VT2 (ctl-alt-F2). Note that you won't be able to access the debug shell until after the upgrade process has started, so you'll want to wait a minute or two before switching.
- </para>
- <para>
- Once you've switched to VT2, you should see the dracut prompt:
- <screen><command>dracut#</command></screen>
- </para>
- <para>

- <screen><command>exit</command></screen>
- </para>
- <para>
- To view the upgrade progress, use:
- <screen><command>cat /sysroot/var/log/upgrade.out</command></screen>

- <application>systemctl</application>, the utility used to administer services and other <application>systemd</application> targets, will now assume that it is working with a service. Administrators will no longer have to append <varname>.service</varname> to the name of the daemon they are administering. For example, <command>systemctl restart dhcpd</command> will now just work, but previous releases required <command>systemctl restart dhcpd.service</command>.

- <para>
- Fedora now features supporting terminal emulators using 256 colors by default. With new environment variables, applications such as <application>gnome-terminal</application>, <application>konsole</application>, and screen will automatically be enabled with 256 color support. Other applications can display 256 colors but must be configured. While still disabled by default, users can enable color terminals for connecting remote systems with the environment variable <varname>SEND_256_COLORS_TO_REMOTE</varname>. These configurations can be found in <filename>/etc/profile.d/256color.sh</filename>.

- <title>Live Snapshotting of Virtual Machines</title>
- <para>
- The virtualization stack in Fedora has provided the ability to take "snapshots" of a virtual machine for many releases. These functions have however always required that the virtual machine be paused or stopped while the storage snapshot was created. Recent updates included in Fedora 17 allowed for <package>qemu</package> and <package>libvirt</package> to create snapshots of a virtual machine without requiring any downtime.
- </para>
- <para>Live snapshot creation now works even for virtual machines using disk images stored in <function>RAW</function> format. In these cases <package>libvirt</package> creates snapshots using external <function>QCOW2</function> files - transparently switching the virtual machine to run on the new external image(s) once created.

- <title>Server Kernel Mode Setting (KMS) Drivers </title>
- <para>
- Many servers ship with only basic GPU hardware. Despite the basic nature of such hardware a fully fledged X.org driver has historically still been required to manage it. Fedora 18 introduces <function>Kernel Mode Setting (KMS)</function> drivers which provide enhanced support for the GPUs commonly found in servers. Users of these GPUs are now able to utilize the additional features provided by KMS drivers, including enhanced graphics in virtual consoles. Chipsets supported by these new KMS drivers include <hardware>AST</hardware> and <hardware>MGA</hardware> based <emphasis>ServerEngines</emphasis>.

- <title>GPU Hot Plug Support </title>
- <para>
- The <productname>X.org</productname> server has been rewritten to support 'hot' plugging and unplugging of GPUs. Specifically, this allows Fedora to provide better support for USB connected graphics devices exposed by many modern systems and laptop docking stations. The user is no longer required to restart the X.org server for such devices to be recognised.
