Not enough info.

Show the error you're now getting.

In any event, F30 is EOL.

You can boot it to the multiuser.target using these directions which should
get you to the console:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/19/html/Installation_Guide/s1...

Then upgrade from Fedora 30 to Fedora 31:
https://fedoramagazine.org/upgrading-fedora-30-to-fedora-31/

Then upgrade from Fedora 31 to Fedora 32:
https://fedoramagazine.org/upgrading-fedora-31-to-fedora-32/

After updating the system if you are encountering issues with Gnome return
to the multiuser.target and run:
dnf install "GNOME Desktop Environment"


Let us know the results.

I don't know what precisely you're doing.  So, it may be helpful if you could
describe your environment.

It sounds, with the minimal information given thus far, that you are booting to a text
login prompt
as opposed to a GUI.  And, after logging in, you use "startx" to get to the
desktop.  Is that
correct?

I'd guess it is a routine update which need your permit to proceed. 

And since you are using f30, I suggest you do a distro-update.

Rule of thumb in such a scenario would be to ask _before_ proceeding,
and to be precise about what exactly came up on screen.
