Re: a newbie question about Rawhide

Wanna try Crtl-Alt-F1 or F2 to switch to a virtual terminal, and get a login without X?

You'll then login to a session with no GDM, and be able to debug from there....

Cheers!

I am excited to report that my Rawhide install finally borked, and now
I am faced with either trying to learn how to fix it, or starting over from scratch.

I had been away from my computer for about 24 hours, and my last memory was
that I shut it down before I left.      The motel maids might have inadvertently unplugged
it in order to vacuum.     I do not think I have any automatic updates set up.

The problem appears to be simple.    GDM is not working right.    It displays my full
name instead of my username, and there is no place to click after I type in the password.
It does not recognize my password in GDM.

In System Recovery, I can get to root, but I do not know how to fix things there.   Is that the
same as the tty or is the system-recovery terminal a different way of accessing the ways to
fix it.

I would assume there is a simple way in terminal to bypass GDM.     

Ironically, these kind of things always happen when I am stressed for time.

Worse case scenario, is I will install Fedora 33 nightly, but I do not have an easy simple way to make
the iso image.    Making that iso image had been on my list of things to do this week.

I still have my iso image USB stick from when I installed Rawhide about a month ago.
