Hi Ed,
I suppose a little sanity check is in order.
You wrote "F25 to F25" but that sure isn't correct.
Oops. F23->F25.
ll /etc/systemd/system/default.target
4 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root
root 36 Oct 24 2011
/etc/systemd/system/default.target ->
/lib/systemd/system/runlevel5.target
ll /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service
(...): No
such file or directory
I've heard of issues with people upgrading from earlier versions,
say
F21, when kdm was the default DM and somehow they upgraded and the
changes were made to point to sddm but sddm itself wasn't installed.
dnf install sddm
Package sddm-0.14.0-6.fc25.x86_64 is already installed, skipping.
Hi Suomi,
try: mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.orig; startx
ls /etc/Xll
total 32
4 applnk/ 4 mwm/ 4 xinit/ 4 xorg.conf.d/
4 fontpath.d/ 4 xdm/ 4 Xmodmap 4 Xresources
I don't have an xorg.conf file.
Some poking around on the web led to:
http://www.systutorials.com/qa/1692/how-to-change-the-display-manager-on-fe
dora-linux
Which suggested
dnf install system-switch-displaymanager system-switch-displaymanager-gnome
Followed by running system-switch-displaymanager. After that I get
ll /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service
0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 35 Dec 21 11:40
/etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service ->
/usr/lib/systemd/system/kdm.service
I'll reboot now. If you don't hear back from, then no news is good news.
Thanks!
