I finally thought to try "dnf remove mate-panel," copy the list of deletions, and save to a file. THEN system-upgrade finally worked (doing something mysterious to me to a couple of apps); I told dnf to install the list I had saved, and all is well again. (I didn't think to try simply commanding "dnf install mate-panel." If the same problem should arise on my wife's similar machine, which I haven't yet upgraded, I will.) -- 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
