Hello, I was doing my usual round of reading comments on ask.fp.o and came across an individual having difficulty getting their system (?back?) up and running, after update? This prompted me to open a discussion at https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/we-really-do-need-to-have-a-working-r... which also has a link to the original discussion on ask.fp.o if anyone is interested. I haven't used the live image system rescue option since almost forever , so I am assuming that it isn't working or is somehow difficult to use for this person, or maybe not an option anymore. I'm burning a F36WS installation with media writer to try out the rescue option, if it is still there.

Just as a short incentive from my side: I currently try to solve the issue Stephen is talking about.
Feel free to have a look on: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/not-boot-not-disks/21992
My point is that the complexity we are able to tackle and the complexity some users are able to tackle differs strongly. And we pointed out in the past that Fedora is not just for advanced users.
Average users tend to generally use the live images for install and therefore, it will remain the first thing they will use if they seek a rescue. Indeed, I would assume that, when a system fails, a type of live system is the first thing most of us think about, don't we? Stephen just did it as well, and I would do it also. So, why not put the rescue in the live image, where people are most likely looking for it? I think this would be the better place than the installer. Of course, my argument is based on the assumption that there is no technical reason for leaving it as it is :)

The rescue mode has always been on the traditional installer images, not the lives. It's still there.
Thanks Adam I'll get that info to the user. And I thought it was still there and working, just haven't needed to use it in a veeeery long time.

Unfortunately there is no rescue option on the Fedora Linux Workstation installer just the Server and the Everything. Is this a part of Anaconda or a different package in Fedora Linux?

Rescue is an Anaconda feature:
https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/blob/master/pyanaconda/rescue.py
https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/blob/master/docs/rescue.rst
It is not supported on live media since most of the steps just don't make sense -- live already sets up the network and you should be able to use the regular desktop tools to mount your existing partitions.

True, but the Live image needs something like a command like "fedora-prepare-rescue-image" or something like that that just do what the Fedora rescue option do and mount what it can find on /mnt/sysimage.
The steps to mount a complete /mnt/sysimage are a more than a few and it could help a lot not needing to type many things that an untrained person could make a big mistake.

+1000 from me. I always have to google how to bind mount everything (dev, sys, proc) but that can easily be automated and should be.
Assuming the root partition contains /etc/fstab, a script should be able to handle this easily and abstract "everyday" users from the complexity.
Thanks, Richard
To maybe make a suggestion or two that would help in the case of rescue but also directing the newbie to a better more satisfying installation/recovery experience ...
* Put Fedora Media writer on the get Fedora page as the preferred method of getting Fedora with the option to go directly to what you want if you know what you want. * Put the Live USB image as one of the preferred options listed by Media Writer along with the Editions * Put a rescue mode on the Live USB image, where it is logically needed and things are pretty much already there as has been stated by Brian.

Sorry but how does someone with a disability navigate that? The rescue mode while maybe unnecessary for developers and those well verse in Fedora Linux, but the inexperienced and the disadvantged don't get any consideration by your statement. And in the case of this particular example I cited at the beginning, the person is having MUCH difficulty navigating the Live USB approach to rescuing their system.

If it does not require too much effort to implement this: +1 for adding a rescue to workstation live images.
On ask.fp you will find many users not sufficiently advanced for doing all this on their own. And explaining such things can consume a lot of time (and in the recent case, did not work at all). Quite sure this can be helpful for many.

It is not supported on live media since most of the steps just don't make sense -- live already sets up the network and you should be able to use the regular desktop tools to mount your existing partitions.
Sorry but how does someone with a disability navigate that? The rescue mode while maybe unnecessary for developers and those well verse in Fedora Linux, but the inexperienced and the disadvantged don't get any consideration by your statement. And in the case of this particular example I cited at the beginning, the person is having MUCH difficulty navigating the Live USB approach to rescuing their system.

If it does not require too much effort to implement this: +1 for adding a rescue to workstation live images.
On ask.fp you will find many users not sufficiently advanced for doing all this on their own. And explaining such things can consume a lot of time (and in the recent case, did not work at all). Quite sure this can be helpful for many.
