I don't understand. Did you upgrade to F44 or not? You're showing F42
versions.
Sorry for the confusion.
I have several configurations. Only one has been upgrade to fc44. The
other ones are still fc42.
I want to clarify all the issues before "final" upgrade.
On the one that has been upgraded, can you start gnome-shell from the
console?
