I upgraded from Fedora 26 to Fedora 28 by using sudo dnf "system-upgrade download --releasever=28" command.



Now I can login to Gnome, but sudo is not working. When I do sudo -i, it asks for the password for my username. I login to Gnome with the same username but that password doesn't work in the terminal. Now I cannot check the wheel group or do visudo, as I don't have access.




fedora sudo upgrade

When grub shows the kernel that you normally boot into, select it and press e. On the next screen, go down to the kernel line that starts with linux, change the ro to rw init=/sysroot/bin/sh. Ctrl X to boot into single user mode. When the prompt comes up, enter chroot /sysroot/ and that will get you into /. Enter passwd and then enter and confirm the new root password. You can now login and become root with su -.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
