Upgrading an E-series Thinkpad, a year or two old, running Fedora 31, via CLI, the upgrade kept failing with complaints about i.686 -- till I did "dnf remove mate-*.i.686" -- then it completed, or seemed to. This machine was behind an HDMI KVM switch, and was giving a display spread across both its own monitor and my regular one, with four panels on each. Since the upgrade reboot, when I KVM to the Thinkpad, I see blank flashing panels on each monitor. There is no terminal emulator anywhere. I've tried a couple times to reboot it to rescue mode, but it ignores that. I took it out from behind the KVM switch, but that didn't help. I can get to the line at the beginning of the boot process which is supposed to make it boot into rescue mode, but that has no effect. Do I go looking for a live distro that may let me mount the Thpd's hard drive and try to fix the panels somehow? Do I just call it a total loss and install F 32 from a freshly downloaded iso on a thumb drive? Is there a third way? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Linux Power User I have precious (very precious) little idea where up is. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
