Can you explain what you meant by "blank flashing panels"?
This didn't happen this time, praise whatever gods there be!
For the record, I saw two panels, devoid of icons, flashing fast
and brightly, one on each side of the display.
Ok, from your original message I had the idea that the graphics card
wasn't working and the monitors couldn't sync or something like that.
It's quite likely that we've been trying to solve the wrong problem.
Do you get a login screen?
Yes. I opened a terminal which gave me this prompt:
[beartooth@localhost-live ~]$
This was from the live image, right? I was asking about your regular
boot, which I think you answered below.
Can you login?
Yes, with a lot of little boxes complaining about various applets
and offering to remove them. I told it not to. Then I did su - and it
took my regular root password.
So I opened Firefox to the Fedoramagazine page for upgrading by
CLI, and started copying & pasting as usual. It got as far as trying to
download F 32.
Then I got "Problem: The operation would result in removing the
following protected packages: sudo, systemd, systemd-udev (try to add --
skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)
So I added it, and got the identical problem message again. And
there it sits; but at least this time it's a different problem.
What does "cat /etc/fedora-release" tell you?
If it says you're on F31, then run:
"dnf system-upgrade download --release=32 --allowerasing"
If it says you're on F32, then run:
"dnf distro-sync"
and see what that offers to do.
