Closure: fedup 20 -> 21 -> No Mouse or Keyboard

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Review my post from previous week or so for background

First Laptop:

Having failed to upgrade Fedora 22 using fedup on my KDE-base
Fedora 20, I reinstalled Fedora 20.

I downloaded the Workstation Live dvd twice, each time it passed
the 256sha and both time the burned dvd passed the media test ...
but both time after a prolonged time, the "sad-face" information
widget appeared announcing that the Workstation code not be loaded;
also no mouse or keyboard so I could not interact with the widget.

So, I tried downloading KDE Live .... and I came up with
mouse and keyboard.... something is right about the KDE Live
iso or wrong about the Workstation Live iso.

Then, one more time I executed (going straight to 22 from 20):

> fedup --network 22 --product=nonproduct

After download, reboot, install, etc. I found my self
with the graphics mode login screen with both mouse and
keyboard. I logged in putting me in KDE with, again, mouse
and keyboard.

I did no more experimentation as to why my previous fedup
upgrade had disabled my mouse and keyboard.

Second Laptop:
So, I then took another Fedora 20 laptop (a rather more
recent machine) and executed:

> fedup --network 22 --product=nonproduct

After the upgrade (download, reboot, install, etc.)
I was in multi-user mode and I logged in. Then I execute

> xinit

with my .xinitrc containing:

/usr/bin/startkde

KDE started but I had no mouse or keyboard!!!
So, I changed to graphics mode and rebooted ... yes,
I have mouse and keyboard.

Changed back to multi-user mode ... no mouse or keyboard.
Changed back to graphics mode ... mouse or keyboard.

First Laptop:

Changed to multi-user mode ... no mouse or keyboard.
Changed back to graphics mode ... mouse or keyboard.

So, at least for me and two different KDE laptops,
"xinit" calling "/usr/bin/startkde" leaves me with
neither mouse or keyboard.

Just finished upgrading my KDE media server (xbmc -> kodi) with

> fedup --network 22 --product=nonproduct

and all when well (in graphics mode).

Thats it. No answers.
I would like to be able to boot into multi-user mode and
then start X/KDE but maybe thats no longer possible
with Fedora 22.

Thanks
Richard
