If you are certain the problem arose after the most recent update then the logical thing to do is list what was updated. Then, either downgrade them all or do it selectively to see if you can revert to a working condition. Also, you said "a few minutes after" you boot it manually restarts just fine. Does that mean there was a time prior to those few minutes where a manual start failed? -- In reality, some people should stick to running Windows and others should stay away from computers altogether. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
