Just did an in-place upgrade from F29 to F30, following the procedure
laid out at https://fedoramagazine.org/upgrading-fedora-29-to-fedora-30/
(System has been progressively upgraded for the last four or five
releases via this procedure.)
Coupla issues, one major.
First (minor), after final reboot, I was forced to create a new user,
which is now the default user on the login screen. Existing userid is
still there, accessible via the "not listed?" link. Everything is intact
in home directory.
How to restore my old userid as the default on the login screen?
Second (MAJOR), once logged into my normal account, the graphical
desktop no longer shows an "Applications" drop-down; all I get is the
"Places" dropdown with no immediate way to start applications.
Browsing Places->Computer->/usr/bin and clicking on applications does
not start them. Clicking on those (like Thunderbird) that have a shell
script startup displays the text of the script.
Others (gnome-termainal, for example) generate a pop up that says:
"Could not display "gnome-terminal." There is no application installed
for "shared library" files. Do you want to search for an application to
open this file?"
Now, Alt-F2 brings up a window that says "Enter Command." Typing "xterm"
or "thunderbird" or "google-chrome" into this box does start the
application. (So, at least, I'm not totally dead in the water here.)
How to get the Applications drop-down back?
