I'm starting Yet Another Thread here because things have changed enough that it seems reasonable. On my desktop, I ran this:
yum --releasever=16 --skip-broken distro-sync and let it do what it wanted, including downgrading several packages. Then I rebooted. I always see the old progress bar, because of my nVidia card, making for a garbled screen as the new boot messages came up, but that's been true since the "upgrade." It tried, tried and tried some more to bring up the login screen, but couldn't manage it. After a couple of minutes I rebooted. This time I used the latest kernel in rescue mode and used telinit 3 to get to a CLI. Looking at Xorg.0.log I could see that it tried a large number of screen settings to find out which ones worked and which didn't and couldn't get some xinerama TV settings to work. (No surprise, I don't have that type of screen.) I didn't see any obvious error messages, however. If anybody wants, I can post the file on my website and you can look at it. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
