(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?
The core problem seems to have been only partially diagnosed (remove-retired-packages hung/crashed on libgweather4). But the workstation is restored enough that I can do the important things, though sometimes with difficulty. So I'm considering this thread SOLVED. There are still problems, none critical, not mere inconvenience. I'll start separate threads on those, one by one, as I can. I thank those who helped, especially Samuel. -- _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
