I ran the usual dnf update today, but this time it brought
problems. I rebooted (since it had some big updates to kde), but
on reboot the graphical mode showed the Fedora logo and the
spinner, but then just froze. I was able to get to a tty. At
this point I'm just going to run the F43 update which I hope will
restore it. This is the first time I've seen an update cause such
an issue. I tried a quick look at journalctl in tty mode, but
didn't see anything interesting.
Update to F43 worked and graphical mode is working again. I had put
off the update because I need xpra > 6, which is currently in
updates-testing. I went ahead with the F43 update, which downgraded
xpra, and then I removed xpra* and installed it from updates-testing.
Hi Neal, I've just posted another thread where I'm reporting the same
issue you have after I updated yesterday which also installed kernel
6.17.5, but using nvidia drivers I checked journalctl for nvidia
messages and found a message that the nvidia module failed to load and
it was falling back to nouveau. I don't understand what the issue is
because booting into kernel 6.17.4, which was working, also gets the
same issue. Under 6.17.4 I was able to issue ctrl+alt+F2 to get a
console to login with where is issued startx which successfully loaded a
Gnome desktop (I normally use KDE), hence the journalctl results. I'm
going to try an akmods build of the nvidia driver again hoping it is
that the module hasn't built properly rather than the module has lost
its Secure Boot signature.
The journalctl nvidia message was:
Nov 04 07:17:20 fedora systemd[1]: nvidia-fallback.service - Fallback to
nouveau as nvidiadid not load was skipped because of an unmet condition
check (ConditionPathExists=!/sys/module/nvidia)
Without knowing exactly what the message means it looks to me like maybe
a KDE module has been changed by mistake to verify that path doesn't
exist rather than check that the path does exist (I would expect it to
exist).
