Hi Dan,
thanks for register.
I'll start at the beginning. I had Fedora 30 "Workstation" installed. After Fedora 31 came out, I did the update through the GNOME Store, all without any problems.
A few days ago I wanted to try something different and I deleted Fedora. Then I reinstalled Fedora 30 and did the update via the GNOME Store again.
Then I had the problem that after the update to 31 no login window appears, only a blank screen.
If I now install a minimal Fedora and then Fedora Workstation (--allowerasing or --skip-broken does the job) on top, then after running startx I get the message that an error occurred and I have to log out again.
As MauryG5 wrote before, another DE can be installed without problems. In my opinion it must have something to do with GNOME and or in combination with ASpeed.
I used the "netinstall.iso" and then the "Install-over-network" option. But I can also try Everything.
What surprises me is that the first time the update worked through the GNOME Store. Not the second time. The only difference was IIRC, that the first time I used the two snippets and the GNOME Tweak Tool. The snippets were "Xorg crashes or is laggy with the AST VGA GPU" and "Low Resolution".
The previous error messages can be found above.
I can use the workaround with the other DE, but that's not really a solution for the problem.
Actually, one last thought: any difference with
dnf install @workstation-product-environment
? Or any of the suggestions on https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/switching-desktop-environments/ ?
Sadly no difference. Same error messages/ problem.
