This is for notes during my study to become a Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE).
I'm going through the Red Hat Certified Systems Administrator (RHCSA) material first, but it's rather disappointingly not much of a learning experience.

Which showed the error:
So, merely had to issue the following command:
and removed this:
Re-start the Virtual Machine:
Fixed!
