Hi Jeff,
Thank you for the note. In the future I'll attempt what you wrote; to
remove a package rather than reinstall. I needed to find a solution and
get the systems to the users so I simply used the kdm. I discovered with
kdm that the main display uses #2 (ctrl-alt-F2) and the other consoles
become inaccessible to the local system display. These text consoles
are instead available to the iKVM of the bmc controller. Yet in the
iKVM the main display is not viewable (I think because it uses the PCIe
vga slot.). Thus after opening the iKVM I need to use the soft
keyboard, type ctrl-alt-F3 and will then see the text console and can
use the keyboard. The affects the main display directly which is alos
switched but inaccessible to the desktop display. The usability is not
ideal but it partially works. Maybe this is the only option. I had the
expectation that the main display and consoles could be available in
both iKVM and desktop display but this may not be possible since there
are two gpus involved. I'm interested to understand this functionality
in more detail if anyone can explain. Please forward to a developer if
you know who may understand.
Since I did not find any clear documentation on gdm and do not have any
more time to troubleshoot further my only hope is that Supermicro,
ASPEED and gdm or fedora developers could find a solution.
Thanks again,
Kevin

My understanding is that what you did only replaces missing or damaged
files, and isn't as thorough as you might think it is. (I'm sure
somebody will correct me if I'm wrong.) If I'm right, you may want to
remove gdm completely, and then install it again. When you remove it,
don't use -y because you want to know what else, if anything, goes
with it.
