        What do I need to do to get the system to boot to the desktop?

      
      Does journalctl show anything from the failed boot to a desktop?  There
should be some kind of underlying error that is reported.  1

    
    What would be something to search to find? I get a
      little window with a sad face that says an error occurred, try
      again. The crash reporter app  shows a string of system failure
      but says The backtrace  does not contain enough meaningful
      function frames to be reported
    
      You could try another desktop manager / greeter.  You would have to
remove the 3 from the kernel startup line.  You should be able to use
    
    The 3 comes from a grub edit, without it the boot
      locks to a blank screen requiring power off.Tried sddm and
      lightdm. 
    
      dnf from multiuser, and do a search for desktop,
dnf search desktop
to find other greeters.

      How did you get to f38?  Upgrade, or install?  If upgrade, did it
complete successfully?  Were there lots of conflicts?

    
    upgrade from f37 no problems
    The original install went to  the 495.44 version
        of the nvidia driver but my card GT 710 requires  the 470
        version. I see in the journal

      Started app-nvidia\x2dsettings\x2d470xx\x2duser@autostart.service
      - nvidia-settings.

      May 23 13:26:59 HPZ440.attlocal.net kernel: NVRM: API mismatch:
      the client has the version 495.44, but

                                                  NVRM: this kernel
      module has the version 470.182.03.  Please

                                                  NVRM: make sure that
      this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver

                                                  NVRM: components have
      the same version.

    
      If there is a specific desktop you want, try running 
dnf group install --with-optional [name of the desktop group]
to pick up any missing packages
