Hi all, I have a lot of problems with my fedora 26 installed on a Dell laptop model Inspiron 15 7000 gaming.
I use KDE so I installed the KDE version for fedora.
I stopped upgrade kernel because it won't work with the new 4.12 So I start with 4.11.11
It was ok until today. I run dnf update, checked that nothing related to the kernel 4.12 was updated, and confirmed all.
Now it boot in init 5 but no graphics displayed after the fedora logo. I was able to switch to the second console and issued an init 3
After that I logged with my user, and startx was ok.
I had some other problems related to Network Manager (my card is not seen), and so on. So I would like to undo the upgrade.
There is a possibility to do it?
Regards Ambrogio

In general, no. The packages you had installed before aren't available now, so you can't go back. You can find out which packages were updated by running "dnf history", take the first number from the list and run "dnf history info 123" but put the number instead of 123.

That's not necessarily true. "dnf downgrade <package>" can undo some updates on a package-by-package basis.

Yes, it will revert to the original release version. But that most likely isn't the previous version before the update. The question was about rolling back the update.
Hi all, I'm sorry for that. I was frustrating cause my pc didn't work well. I had no time to solve the problem... so i wrote my question without to search for a solution.

As it can be usefull for someone else having similar problems, the answer is
# dnf history
dnf can list the single transaction (installation and/or upgrade) ordered by time.
dnf history undo or dnf history rollback can be used to back on time.
The problem is that not everytime this is possible, because old packages are removed from repository. In my case, I had VirtualBox from rpmfusion, and this blocked my rollback or undo.
