All three fedora versions in the grub menu appear to yield the same results. So whatever the "dnf upgrade" did, it affected all three. The windows-7 boot still works (this is a dual boot system, a desktop). My camera died over a year ago, and I have no portable devices. Having been unemployed for over 2.5 years now, I cannot afford to replace the camera or buy any portable devices. I copied the failure messages the old fashioned way (paper and pencil); I'm manually typing in what I got.... ----- Generating "/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt" Entering emergency mode. Exit the shell to continue. Type "journalctl" to view system logs. You might want to save "/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt" to a USB stick or /boot after mounting them and attach it to a bug report. :/# ----- After I type "exit", I get this: ----- Failed to start default.target: Transaction is destructive. See system logs and 'systemctl status default.target' for details. ----- After that, I must manually reset the system. I tried looking at "/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt". The file's lines are too long to fit across the screen, and the file is over 1000 lines long. I did not really understand what I was seeing. What should I be looking for? I tried entering "journalctl". The output's lines are too long to fit across the screen, and the file is almost 900 lines long. I did not really understand what I was seeing. What should I be looking for? I tried "systemctl status default.target". I got this 6-line output: ----- [a white square] initrd.target - Initrd Default Target Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/initrd.target; static; vendor preset: Active: inactive (dead) Docs: man: systemd.special(7) May 11 15:11:43 coyote systemd[1]: Stopped target Initrd Default Target. ----- Removing the rhgb and quiet options from the kernel command line resulted in lines of output flying by far too fast. This system has worked well for about 4 years now. What was in the dnf upgrade today? _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
