Seems his system isn't loading a DM by default and was sometimes using startx to load the DM. Note sure if it was setup with gdm or lightdm. I use lightdm and XFCE installed after original setup many versions ago. # dnf5 provides startx xorg-x11-xinit-1.4.3-4.fc44.x86_64 : X.Org X11 X Window System xinit startup scripts Repo : @System Matched From : Filename : /usr/bin/startx xorg-x11-xinit-1.4.3-4.fc44.x86_64 : X.Org X11 X Window System xinit startup scripts Repo : fedora Matched From : Filename : /usr/bin/startx Don't know if he has either of those installed on his system after upgrade?? Perhaps adding would add the startx.
