Hi Jim,<br><br>I had the same issue with my 64bit machine (my 32 bit machine work perfectly). I ended up following the instructions about removing directories described at <a href="http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/fedora-35/fedora-16-oh-no-something-has-gone-wrong-912796/">http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/fedora-35/fedora-16-oh-no-something-has-gone-wrong-912796/</a> and my machine is now up an running.<br>
<br>Good luck,<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 15, 2011 at 9:30 PM, Jim Cromie <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jim.cromie@gmail.com">jim.cromie@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
I just upgraded my 64bit box to F-16 using preupgrade, and the<br>
graphical login is busted.<br>
<br>
It displays the nice bathyscath (deep sea) screen for a second,<br>
then goes black with a sad computer face |:-(| saying non-specifically<br>
"somethings gone wrong, ..... contact administator"<br>
<br>
<br>
Box boots ok to runlevel 3,<br>
running startx gets same screen, ctrl-alt-delete gets logout dialog,<br>
doing it, I get same screen repeatedly.<br>
heres the log when I run startx:<br>
