For later on, once you're back working again:
Next time you do an install, leave some notes in the /root homespace about what you've done. I think the installation routine leaves a couple of files about the install in there, itself. And I write some post installation notes about any extra packages I add.
Since I only use root for installing stuff, there's only three files in there, and they can't get messed with during normal logins (e.g. they can't get accidentally deleted).
Thank-you. There have been a few times I wish I had done that.
I also use root for installing, patching, and upgrading.
I could not find any files as you described left in root's home by dnf or yum. Am I looking in the correct place? What should the file name be?
Read Tim's comment again. "He" wrote the notes in a file. Not dnf or another process.
The basis for my question was the sentence "I think the installation routine leaves a couple of files about the install in there, itself.". But I might easily be misunderstanding what Tim means by "the installation routine".
BTW, have you tried plasma on wayland again?
Not since last night. Will try again now as per your next paragraph.
You may want to do something like "journalctl -b 0 | grep wayland" to see if you find anything of interest. It may be best to do this just after booting and trying to start a wayland session so as to make sure you've go the right time frame.
A few minutes ago, I rebooted. There is only one plasma option in the menu: "Plasma". I chose that and completed the login. bash.1[~]: su - Password: -bash.1[~]: journalctl -b 0 | grep wayland -bash.2[~]: env | grep -i wayland -bash.3[~]:
While my first priority is wayland in gnome, I definitely do want: * wayland in plasma (when it's available and the default for plasma); * to retain gnome on Xorg; and * to retain plasma on xorg as fall-backs. This week certainly taught me the value of fall-backs. I was glad I still had windows-7 (slow, cumbersome, and bad as it is) on this workstation. And I do occasionally use plasma.
