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.
