Hi, I did an upgrade from F19 to F20 on three machines (2 laptops and 1 desktop). For one laptop and the desktop, things went smoothly -- no complaints: I used yum/fedora-upgrade. For the other, while upgrading, the X crashed and there were comments about journald, bluetooth etc (not sure if this has anything to do with anything or the upgrade) and so I am left with a bunch of F19 and F20 packages. I am able to run as if nothing has happened (though unclear whether I am running a F19 or a F20 system) but this is really a system which can not be updated. I tried doing the following, for want of knowing what to do: %sudo yum --releasever=20 distro-sync and I get the following: Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, remove-with-leaves Loading mirror

No matter what i do, here is where I end. Any suggestions? I don't know that yum upgrade is the issue here (and I have always been successful with it). Rather, I think something when the upgrade was happening impacted something that is different on this laptop and took out the X. I don't really want to reinstall if I can help it. Of course, I may have not much option. Any suggestion to help resolve this is greatly appreciated. Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan PS: As an aside, yum distro-sync wants to downgrade to F19, but I get a bunch of duplicates warnings.
