I've had this happen on two older notebooks recently that were running Fedora 21 just fine. Did an update on one using fedup to 22, and process went thru with no issues, and the login screen would come up, but after entering the password, the screen would go blank except for the mouse pointer that would move around, but nothing else. Couldn't even get a terminal window (Ctrl-Alt-F?) at that point. Was able to hard reboot, and without attempting to login, was able to get a terminal window to open. Tried a number of things, but the final thing that seemed to make it work was diabling gdm.server after downloading lightdm and making it the active service. But since I had done a number of things, wasn't 100% sure that was it.
Just did the update on another older notebook on Saturday, and got the same black screen and no response after trying to login. Did just the hard reboot, and opened a terminal window. Installed lightdm, and did the switch to lightdm instead of gdm, and rebooted the system, and again the screen Fedora 22 came up normall. Don't know why there was no issue with Fedora 21, but 22 had this problem. +----------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
