No, what I mean is you boot from a live cd/usb OR from a netinstall medium; In case of the install medium you'll have to hit a keycombination to reach a terminal. This keystroke/hotkey/... is ctrl, alt and f2 to 4, I don't remmeber which of the f-keys it was. In case of a live cd/usb you just let it start and open a terminal. Then you mount the root-partition ('/') of your broken install, go to /var/log/ and take a look at the log-files. - Nathan -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / - against HTML emails X - against proprietory attachments / \ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII_Ribbon_Campaign On 09-08/ 9:05, Antonio M wrote: > Do you mean that I have to dig into systemlog immediately after stalling?? > > Note: no reason for HTML e-mail, I didn't set the option in Gmail > > 2014-09-08 8:56 GMT+02:00 Nathan Schwarz <nathan@xxxxxxxxxxx>: > > It should still write to the systemlog; yank in a live-version or fedora > > installation (in case of fedora installation disk/usb hit > > ctrl-alt-f[234]; on of these takes you to a terminal), mount the > > root-partition and take a look at the log. > > > > - Nathan > > > > Unrelated ps: Is there a reason you use HTML-mail for a few lines of > > text? > > > > -- > > /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign > > \ / - against HTML emails > > X - against proprietory attachments > > / \ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII_Ribbon_Campaign > > > > On 09-08/ 8:51, Antonio M wrote: > >> When I start one of my systems, sometimes it stalls, even using Esc to > >> see what is going on, I cannot enter the text mode.If I issue a > >> Ctrl+Alt+Del, it switches to text mode but it is so fast that I cannot > >> read anything.. > >> Any advice is appreciated (is systemd to be blamed?) > >> -- > >> Antonio Montagnani > >> Skype : amontag52 > >> Linux Fedora 20 Heisenbug > >> inviato da Gmail > > > >> -- > >> users mailing list > >> users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > >> To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > >> https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users > >> Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct > >> Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > >> Have a question?
