Review my post from previous week or so for background First Laptop:
Having failed to upgrade Fedora 22 using fedup on my KDE-base Fedora 20, I reinstalled Fedora 20. I downloaded the Workstation Live dvd twice, each time it passed the 256sha and both time the burned dvd passed the media test ... but both time after a prolonged time, the "sad-face" information widget appeared announcing that the Workstation code not be loaded; also no mouse or keyboard so I could not interact with the widget. So, I tried downloading KDE Live .... and I came up with mouse and keyboard.... something is right about the KDE Live iso or wrong about the Workstation Live iso. Then, one more time I executed (going straight to 22 from 20): > fedup --network 22 --product=nonproduct After download, reboot, install, etc. I found my self with the graphics mode login screen with both mouse and keyboard. I logged in putting me in KDE with, again, mouse and keyboard. I did no more experimentation as to why my previous fedup upgrade had disabled my mouse and keyboard. Second Laptop: So, I then took another Fedora 20 laptop (a rather more recent machine) and executed: > fedup --network 22 --product=nonproduct After the upgrade (download, reboot, install, etc.) I was in multi-user mode and I logged in. Then I execute > xinit with my .xinitrc containing: /usr/bin/startkde KDE started but I had no mouse or keyboard!!! So, I changed to graphics mode and rebooted ... yes, I have mouse and keyboard. Changed back to multi-user mode ... no mouse or keyboard. Changed back to graphics mode ... mouse or keyboard. First Laptop: Changed to multi-user mode ... no mouse or keyboard. Changed back to graphics mode ... mouse or keyboard. So, at least for me and two different KDE laptops, "xinit" calling "/usr/bin/startkde" leaves me with neither mouse or keyboard. Just finished upgrading my KDE media server (xbmc -> kodi) with > fedup --network 22 --product=nonproduct and all when well (in graphics mode). Thats it. No answers. I would like to be able to boot into multi-user mode and then start X/KDE but maybe thats no longer possible with Fedora 22. Thanks Richard
