So in an effort to narrow down the problem I also have an old Samsung
laptop - i5 with an nvidia card - all up-to-date 7.5 - I thought I would
try a more conservative upgrade approach.
first updated to the CR kernel with yum upgrade kernel*
then after successful reboot did an update to gdm* and gnome*
another reboot and all is well
then update of xorg* (only 20 files)
Now it will not boot - keyboard is non responsive so cannot even do a
Ctrl Alt F2 to access a shell. Old kernel is also non boot. Left this
machine for now and back to my main desktop workstation.
The only issue I've seen reported that sounds similar or possibly
related is:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1650634
There is a patch in that bug you might like to try.
No idea if this xorg problem relates to my original workstation - so on
that machine I did a downgrade of xorg* - seemed to complete ok, but on
reboot and login - still the same problem.
As the only clue in the logs is the libc segfault I did a downgrade of
glibc - this too seemed to work but no change to the system - gnome
crashes after 5 - 10 seconds.
I'm guessing that probably hasn't helped matters
Wasted far too much time on this, no idea what to do now so I have done
a fresh 7.5 install and all works again - just need to install all the
additional stuff I use each day, but at least I have a desktop that
functions.
