Yesterday I turned on my computer to boot F42 after an overnight
shutdown. It refused to load. The display got through all three points
of the ellipsis, then showed a blinking underscore for five seconds.
Then the underscore showed steady, and the booting got no further. Ten
times I shut it down with the Power button and waited for it to reboot,
with the same result.
My device has a pair of SSDs, with the OS and most applications on one,
and all my data on the other. So if I could boot the machine from
anything, and then do any kind of installation of F43, I don't think I
would lose my data.
So would someone tell me, please, how to restore functionality to my
desktop, with or without upgrading to F43, whether with a clean install
or by using DNF5 (sp ) ?
By the way, I have used KDE for years, and would prefer to stay in that
environment and not switch to GNOME.
Edit the grub entry to remove "quiet rhgb", then see what the last
messages are when it gets stuck.
