At the grub prompt, edit the current entry, add 3 to the linux line, then boot with Ctrl-x (this is equivalent of adding systemd.unit=multi-user.target) That will start in text mode (aka: multi-user.target). Once this is done, look at the journal for error/warning messages related to gdm in the previous (failed / graphical) boot. There has been some reports about that symptom after an upgrade of fedora, in particular: GDM crashes after upgrade to Fedora 43 due to authselect migration https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/gdm-crashes-after-upgrade-to-fedora-43-due-to-authselect-migration/171961 -- francis -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/tickets/issues/new
