I have two systems that were recently upgraded from Fedora 26 to 27 using DNF system-upgrade. Both were successfully running a KDE desktop for several generations previously, including on F26. In both cases, after the upgrade, starting KDE showed the splash screen and then a blank screen with only a pointer cursor. The keyboard and mouse worked but the screen remained blank. Both systems are set to start in systemd's multi-user mode; KDE is started with the startx command. One of the systems is a 32-bit laptop with little local content. I chose to simply do a fresh install on this one to get it working quickly. Fedora doesn't offer an installation image for 32-bit F27 so I installed F25 and then did successive upgrades to F26 and then F27. KDE worked in both F25 and F26 but had the same problem once I got to F27. I did it again and stopped at F26 to have a working system. The other system is a modern 64-bit desktop with 8GB RAM. This one still has the problem. I'd like to find the cause and a solution before I make the effort to revert to F26 because this one has a huge amount of local content which I would have to backup and restore. (I do backups but more for recovery of individual files; a general recovery could have other problems.) Note that Gnome works on this machine (but I hate Gnome). The logs haven't given me any clue as to the cause of the problem. I have now run "startx &>logfile" hoping that might tell me something. After the blank screen appeared, I killed xinit and Xorg from a different console. The logfile is included below in the hope it might spark some insight from the group. xauth: file /home/dave/.serverauth.1517 does not exist X.Org X Server 1.19.6 Release Date: 2017-12-20 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: 4.14.11-300.fc27.x86_64 Current Operating System: Linux dc7800.compata.com 4.14.16-300.fc27.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 31 19:24:27 UTC 2018 x86_64 Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-4.14.16-300.fc27.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/fedora_dc7800-root ro rd.lvm.lv=fedora_dc7800/root rd.lvm.lv=fedora_dc7800/swap vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0 selinux=0 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 Build Date: 10 January 2018 11:00:12PM Build ID: xorg-x11-server 1.19.6-2.fc27 Current version of pixman: 0.34.0 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
