Where is the DNF system upgrade log? F32 install did not reboot

[Barry Scott]

I had a server fail to reboot after completing the system upgrade to F32.

Is there a log that I can look at for clues as to the problem?

I did wait for the install to finish, I hit reset after 10 hours.
Happily the system did boot up to F32 after I hit the reset switch.

Use the dnf history command?

ID     | Command line              | Date and time    | Action(s)      | Altered
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   322 | system-upgrade upgrade    | 2020-04-29 21:39 | D, E, I, O, U  | 2553 ##

That looks fine I think.

The answer is that the logs are in the journal, which I should have know - Doh!

There are dnf.log files in /var/log

Of course you can do "dnf history info 322" to find out more about the actual transaction.

I believe there are dnf.log files in /var/log iff you installed/run
rsyslogd, which is not the default.
