I’ve installed dnf-automatic and have things configured. It looks like when dnf-automatic is triggered, it attempts to install but ultimately fails. If I manually enter dnf-automatic or dnf uprade, updates proceed with out issue. How could I resolve this? It seems so difficult just to get Fedor…

I appreciate all the suggestions I received from you and tjdoyle in this thread. Luckily adding the ’ ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 30’ line in the service file resolved my issue. Today was the first day dnf-automatic ran/completed successfully.

Hi,

Looks like its trying to run before you are online. Is the timer set to run on boot?

Thanks Tom.
