You are running a terminal under X, so you are susceptible to the problem if you have hybrid graphics. You could try the systemctl command Adam mentioned to confirm, knowing that it will crash X if you meet the criteria, and lose anything in progress. What Adam is saying is you need to run dnf in a virtual console environment (Ctl-Alt-[F2-F6]) to avoid the problem. This is non-X, and so even if X crashes, the dnf update won't be affected. There is nothing wrong with running a terminal under X for other purposes, just with running dnf update, and even then only for people that meet the criteria. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
