I had a functioning F10 and decided to pre-upgrade to Rawhide/F11.
It worked somewhat, but I'm left with one major problem. I can't get
x to start. I had been running the nvidia driver from rpmfusion.
That's been removed and xorg.conf was deleted. Nouveau failed to
start. I reinstalled the nvidia driver, and that failed to start. I
removed it again, deleted xorg.conf again, and nv refused to run on
next boot. I do get the Grub splash screen at the very beginning of
the boot process - isn't that dependent on x?
Anyhow, I'm not sure where to go with this. I can install/uninstall
stuff from repos from the command line. Suggestions welcome...
until someone has a better idea, try appending
nomodeset
to kernel line in grub, then, if it works, in grub.conf .
btw, what video card?
lspci reports:
01:00.0 VGA Compatible Controller: nVidia Corporation G72 [GeForce
7300SE] (Rev a1)
I finally got some video but the problem wasn't what I thought, and
there are still some video issues. I went in and changed my default
desktop and login manager from KDE to blank in the /sysconfig/desktop
file; that allowed GDM to open a login screen and once I changed my
default login desktop to Gnome, I was able to get in. So, it would
appear that there is a big issue with my KDE installation. All this
was working perfectly before preupgrade.
Video is currently using the nv driver and it though it appears to be
detecting my monitor correctly according to system-config-display, it
auto-configures it to only allow up to 1280X1024 while the monitor's
native resolution is 1920X1080. If I try to change it to the correct
resolution from within system-config-display/hardware the video won't
come up when I restart X.
Also, I'm getting a lot of strange errors from yum - when it first
came up after the upgrade, it actually gave me a message that yum was
not present; I had to go in and delete some modules that were no
longer in use anyway, and download and reinstall a slightly earlier
version of yum and a couple of associated packages, before it would
start working. After that, it ran a couple of updates OK; now, I'm
getting a bunch of dependency errors every time I try to run update
having to with sql and qt and some libs such as libcrypto.so.7 and
libssl.so.7 -- this new wrinkle is probably not yum, but a slow mirror
or something like that.
I ran preupgrade on this same machine to go from F9 to F10 some many
months back, but it was a much smoother process...If I knew what to
pinpoint as the problem, I'd file some bug reports, but right now,
it's a bit confusing as to what's causing what...
There is the possibility that that the driver version for Nvidia and
your Video card has changed. How old is your video card ?
Go back to Nvidia.com and check your video card and see what version it
is compatible with.
This happens quit a bit with Nvidia cards as they get older.
