Everyone,
Help!!!!
I have a laptop with F16 that now refuses to boot into the logon screen
this morning.
The boot sequence pauses at
Starting Display Manager.....
Started Display Manger
There is one error message displayed before the above line items:
Failed to start LSB: Builds and install new kmods from akmod packages
See 'systemctl status akmods.service' for details
When systemctl.... is executed the results are :
akmods.service - LSB: Builds and install new kmods from akmod packages
Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/akmods)
Active: failed since Sat, 10 Mar 2012 20:05:39 -0600; 16h ago
Process: 1022 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/akmods start
(code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/akmods.service
If any of you can give me a starting place to debug this I would
appreciate your efforts.
Thank you,
Greg Ennis

I think I have figured out what happened. Yesterday when I looked at the
yum logs to check on the new downloads I noticed
system-config-keyboard.
The laptop I am using has redefined some of the special function keys
which has been a real pain, I was hoping to redefine them. When I
activated system-config-keyboard from the command line it did not give
me an option to cancel, I re-accepted the US keyboard and the program
closed. No redefining was possible.
It looks like this program broke or created the /X11/Xorg.config file.
I could not figure out how to make appropriate edits so I just renamed
the file to something different in hopes the system would create it on
the fly with the next boot. I was able to boot to a gui, and the
xorg.config file was not re-created.
When I booted I did get a gui and a log on menu, but I have lost the
gnome3 desktop. The system automatically returned to the gnome failsafe
desktop.
The 'Advanced Settings' program does not allow the return to gnome3.
Sure would appreciate anyone's help in returning to gnome3
Thanks,
Greg Ennis
