I've just installed F-17/64/XFCE on what was an F-16/64 computer.

     Initially everything worked as expected, it updated without a hitch.
     I was making my usual configuration changes, rebooted and now it
     stops just before the login screen. blank with just "Can not open
     font file True"

     At this point I could reinstall but would lose an hours work and the
     bandwidth required for the update.

     In rescue or whatever it's called I can see that the last change I
     made has no typos, [10-evdev.conf to fix the copy paste problem].

     Any idea what I can do next?

Sounds like X won't start.  Two ideas:
1.  Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log
2.  If you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf then rename it and reboot.


   Ok, that helped. I was surprised to find that I did have an error in
   my typing, had to use "vi" to fix and that is always a challenge for
   me. Still got the same error message.

   Then renamed/removed /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf and
   now I have a normal login gui but no cursor/mouse or keyboard inputs?

   Also can not ssh into box7 from this computer, box9, "no route."

   Is there a way to cause a text boot instead of the gui? If I could
   get past that things might work?

   Thanks,

   Bob
