Johnathan, Rich, Thomas,
Thanks for the replies. I added an isolated "5" to the grub.cfg.
Rebooted. No effect.
I think I will just login and issue startx.
Enough is enough.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Regards to all,
Ken

Wouldn't it be faster to reinstall the box and call it a day?
Or, boot into runlevel 3 and run startx.

If you back up /etc and /usr/lib/...systemd - diff might point to the cause

No active inittab. Inittab is not used on a systemd system. It did have
a note on how to set "runlevels".

What happens when you 'sudo /sbin/init 5' in order to get to graphical

Ben,
I disagree about GRUB. The line that loads the kernel can have a run level
value assigned. I have a unit in the lab that I boot to multi-user command
line by adding a literal 3 to the kernel. If
The one I have implements a USB-net interface, so it's effectively an

a USB-to-serial-to USB. That is not ideal for transferring files. If you
are unclear on what the "link" cable supports, you can always just buy two
Ken,
First of all, GRUB doesn't have any say in "booting a graphical login
mode". The most grub can do is set the framebuffer and KMS settings, and
even then X can override and set its own display settings.
- Leave GRUB alone. You run the risk of breaking your boot for no reason.

Thanks for replying, but that was the first thing I tried this morning.
Did it again. Still no joy.

Are you sure you didn't change GRUB to enter run level 3? Check your
grub.conf file (or whatever it is called), and check for a solo "3" and
change it to a "5", which is the run level for UI.

I am puzzled. Ages ago I did something to stop my Fedora 26 system from
booting into graphical login mode. I wish I could remember or identify
