Install Fedora 28 with GNOME desktop 2. Upgrade to Fedora 29 using dnf system-upgrade Actual results: Console shows Starting GNOME Display Manager... Starting Hold until boot process finishes up... [ OK ] Started Command Scheduler. [ OK ] Started GNOME Display Manager. and the graphical console does not show up. The boot is in graphics mode, though. Expected results: Restoring the original graphical state Additional info:
I don't see anything in the kernel log snippet that indicates graphics is at fault. Could you attach the "journalctl -b" output to the bug so I can look further?
Created attachment 1547075 [details] Output of journalctl -b after a fresh reboot My original journalctl -b output was about 16M, so I decided to wait until I could shutdown the VMs on that machine.
Created attachment 1547077 [details] Re-generated xorg.conf I tried to recreate an xorg.conf using Xorg :1 -configure, hoping it might shed some light on the issue.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 29 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 29 on 2019-11-26.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
