Hi
I thought I should reply to this one due to the fact that I think that
no one else is going to work it out... Would be useful to leave this
in the Fedora Users archive....
I did a dnf update on my F23 workstation. After rebooting to make
sure that the updates were working properly I find that I can't get
to the login screen. I see the blue Fedora logo for a split second.
Then the command line appears with a message to do Ctrl-D or login
as
root. Nouveau drivers for the graphics card. I can login as root
and
use a text editor. After the failed X startup I can see the
following error message on the screen
Error getting authority: Error initialization authority: Could not
connect: No such file or directory (g-io-error-quark, 1)
If I have a look at the log in /home/user/.local/share/xorg it
says...
Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 1
(Permission
denied.
If I try startx as as a user or as root I can see.. for example...
in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log...
dbus core: error connecting to system bus:
org.freedesktop.Dbus.Error.FileNotFound (Failed to connect to socket
/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory)
Can anyone suggest how to fix this ? I can't send in lengthy logs due
to the fact that I can't ssh into the machine or run a second or
third console. Access to one console only.
The answer this one is....

“ Add the option nofail to the failing mount point or all the mount
points that are not required at boot time. “ That fixed it. Working fine
now :)
Thank you.
