Well, reporting back, and I'm not 100% sure what caused my problem. I
have used several repos since I installed the box two years ago, and
there was quite a bit of clutter. I'm leaning towards my use of
xscreensaver (I like the 'flurry' screensaver) as the likely culprit,
but I had enough clutter that it's not really practical (not to mention
that I really can't take the time) to fully troubleshoot and be close to
100% sure.
Since I did have some clutter to deal with, and the drives (250GB mSATA
SSD and 1TB HGST 7K1000) are two years old at this point, I decided it
was time to refresh my installation. So I got a good deal on a Samsung
860 EVO 500GB mSATA and another HGST 7K1000 (one of the best 2.5 inch
drives out there), and waited until they came in to do a complete
reinstall, and am rsyncing files over from the older 1TB drive as
needed. The Dell Precision M6700 laptop has two 2.5 inch bays plus the
mSATA slot, so I downloaded the 1804 DVD iso (mirrors must be syncing;
the download took way longer than it should have!), installed to the 860
SSD with the 1TB as /home (leaving the old 1TB /home alone), and
successfully updated with CR afterwards. The install of the ELrepo
nvidia driver went smoothly, and after some install work and rsync work
I'm back operational; a USB 3.0 enclosure for the older mSATA boot drive
made it much easier.
I spent more time trying to troubleshoot GNOME3's startup than it took
to install and update!
In a related vein, does anyone have a pointer to a good solid GNOME3
startup document that gives enough detail to where someone can actually
troubleshoot without having to patch and rebuild gjs and stack trace
javascript? Just a simple startup log woul be nice, instead of the
SIGSEGV in /var/log/messages..... (side note: I really hate how the
Android GMail messes up threading; the Samsung email app is better, but
it can't properly display a lot of the messages in the CentOS list (such
as Johnny's) and GMail can)
