Possible nvidia driver

Updated Fedora 30 system with all latest, and latest kernel. Gnome doesn't start, but consoles seem to be ok and it does boot to multiuser....I think. When I reboot down into the previous kernel, 5.0.13-300.fc30.x86_64, everything works fine.

Kindly do NOT hijack threads. Your message is completely unrelated to
the one you are replying to, and changing the Subject line does not
make it OK because the various list-related headers remain the same.

Create a new message from scratch if you want people to reply.

Also, Thanks Patrick O'Callaghan for so kindly informing me of how to ask for help on this user list. Last time I asked for help I was 2 versions behind on the OS and I got roasted because the OS version was too old. Maybe I should try Ubuntu.

You may get roasted here if you ask for help and you're using a version 
of Fedora that's EoL, but you'll also get help.  With Ubuntu, they take 
that bit about "no more support" very, very literally, and will refuse 
to give you any assistance until you've upgraded to a supported version.

Are you using the proprietary NVidia driver?  With the kernel version 
that isn't working, login on a console and run "sudo journalctl -b". 
See if you can find any relevant messages.

He wasn't rude and that wasn't a roast.  It's as much for your benefit 
as everyone else.  If you reply to an unrelated thread, most threaded 
email clients will hide your message at the bottom of that thread.  Most 
people will probably not even see your email because they're not 
interested in that thread topic.  You picked a particularly bad one in 
this case since it was a discussion about Windows. :-)
