No more X support.
You can start gdm with "systemctl start gdm" which gets you a full session.
Or you can just run "gnome-shell". I don't know how to get out of that
other than killing the gnome-shell process.
I read the messages, but I all really in trouble.
1) I used to run wayland on a standard basis.
It still run under fc42.
Before updating, I updated another "minimum" system (multiboot) from fc42 to fc44. Under this configuration, I used to start in text mode before running startx (wayland). This is not possible now as I explained before.
Running systemctl start gdm does not bring me anywhere. I do not get my usual gnome environment and I can only CTL DEL.
Running gnome-shell brings me in a graphics window but without my usual gnome environment properly set.
In addition, I cannot update gnome-shell, gnome-shell-common, gnome-shell-frippery
I get
Transaction failed: Signature verification failed.

2) What to do?
In any case I wish to keep a gnome-shell environment (50?), Is it possible ?
If it is not possible, what are the options to stay as close as possible to gnome
Actually, I do not really understand why I have to face these troubles now.
