Using a Raspberry Pi model 3. 28-20180319 boots fine to multi-user, but fails to start the graphical desktop. A pointer is displayed (in the middle of the text screen containing the last of the boot messages), but the graphical login screen does not appear. The same Raspberry Pi with the same monitor works fine with F27. After a while (perhaps five or ten minutes, maybe longer; I did not measure this interval), the system hangs. Before this, it is possible to log in using ssh (that is how I changed the default target from graphical to multi-user.) I cannot see any obvious explanation in the journal, though there are come complaints about gnome and gsd. These I copy below. The first boot operation (graphical) proceeded normally (no graphical login screen after first boot), and I was able to reboot and use ssh to change to multi-user mode, reboot again, then dnf upgrade. Change default target back to graphical, reboot, but no improvement with software updates through March 20. Any suggestions about how to learn more? Multi-user mode is fine for most of my activity, but I am interested to learn whether my experience is unique or if others see the same behavior. Are Xorg log files now part of history, or could there be something like that hiding where I did not look? $ grep '.*gnome\|.*gsd' tmp/log05 Mar 05 17:17:20 F28-rpi3 gnome-session[984]: gnome-session-binary[984]: dconf-WARNING: unable to open file '/etc/dconf/db/gdm': Failed to open file “/etc/dconf/db/gdm”: open() failed: No such file or directory;
