(I'm doing this from a windows-7 box)
This morning, I did my weekly patches for my f-39 stand-alone
workstation. No problems.
Then I did the upgrade to f-40. I did not sit there and watch it.
During the automatic reboot, it booted using the nouveau driver rather
than the kmod one from rpm fusion non-free. During the post-upgrade
task "remove-retired-packages", the workstation apparently crashed.
Upon rebooting, it came up in console(?) mode; I could not get into
graphics mode.
I shutdown again, and tried to boot into f-39. But it came up f-40,
console mode.
I have neither "live" media nor installation media; last time I tried
them, they didn't work. F-40 console mode and window-7 are all I have
to work with.
How do I get this workstation working properly in Fedora?
I went to the github site for remove-retires-packages, and opened an
issue suggesting that the tool log to a log file, and that the tool's
man page report where the logs are. The tool owner replied that the
tool logs to dnf logs, and suggested two commands to get some relevant
information. He agreed that the man page needed the update.
The first command that the tool owner suggested is "dnf history list".
I did that and redirected output to the text file "dnfhist.txt". It's
attached. From that, I concluded that the tool most likely hung/crashed
while trying to remove "libgweather4". (Notice how long that took.)
Question: Does anything in that list of deleted packages look suspicious
or wrong?
There are some serious issues in that list. Removing "passwd"?? But
also, look how many packages get removed by some of those.
The second command that the tool owner suggested is "dnf history info
[ID]", where ID is from the output of "dnf history list". I did that
for "libgweather4" and redirected output to the text file
"info1665.txt". It's attached. Does anything in there look suspicious
or wrong?
Very much. It's removing most of Gnome, including gdm. And they are
F39 packages.
What you need to look at is the info for the system-upgrade at 1651 to
maybe see what went wrong or at least see where it stopped.
