.
Thursday evening we had a power failure and I shutdown all the computers
to get the load off my UPS's. I have booted the Fedora 28 computer this
morning and a what was a non-problem has blossomed into a real one. The
other three all booted normally when I started things after the power
came back on, however I did not try the F28 until this morning.
Since the F28 install a window has always come after the xfce desktop opens:
"Oops, We're sorry, it looks like boot_image-/
vmlinuz-4.17.18.200.fc28.x86_64 crashed. Please contact the developer ..."
I ignored it until now since it seemed to be meaningless, the system
connected to the LAN and the internet and went happily on its way. Not
so today, the cursor arrow sits in the error message box and can't be
moved and the Only thing that works is ctrl-alt-F1 which brings back the
user boot screen asking for a password, normally bobg, but I tried
alternate as well as root, which brings up Gnome, also frozen in some
strange fashion, I never use that so did not investigate much there, a
presentation hard for me t read. Along with the Oops window is another
that ells me I am connected to enp2so or whatever.
Tried the two alternative kernels, no difference.
I can ssh from this computer which allows me to reboot it conveniently
[bobg@Box10 ~]$ ssh -X bobg@192.168.1.83
bobg@192.168.1.83's password:
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.

[bobg@box83 ~]$ su
Password:
[root@box83 bobg]# reboot
I tried "startxfce4" via ssh from this computer after a fresh start, the
xfce splash screen comes up but that crashes with a lot of errors and
I'm not even certain that approach should work.
So I am stuck and need some help troubleshooting.
