As I said above, to install two DEs to get GNOME working isn't a solution for me.

@sharkcz: Everything (source: media -> Fedora Workstation) doesn't work either. After reboot I got a blank screen with a frozen mouse. I even can't login via ssh (connection refused). On installation I selected ssh root login with password allowed. Alt + Ctrl + F2 doesn't work also.

I hope you insert the line without the dollar sign?

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

Code: [Select]

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.

If I C&P this line from the wiki: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jwboyer/fedora.git --depth 1 --branch kernel-5.5.0-0.rc1.git0.1.fc32

I get:

You only need to copy/ paste the commands e. g.:

Code: [Select]

First --> cd ~
Second --> mkdir git
Thrid --> cd git
Fourth --> git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jwboyer/fedora.git --depth 1 --branch kernel-5.5.0-0.rc1.git0.1.fc32

It really isn't that hard. You only have to read carefully and then C&P

@meklort: Thanks, I will try it as soon as I have bought a 5700 or maybe a 5500

Have you tried installing Server, and then converting to Workstation? This comes up with a text boot, but then you can "startx" to go to GNOME. That's how this T2 is configured.

Still, I agree this sounds like a bug.

Yes, this I have tried, too. On the installer I selected network installation, then selected the Fedora minimal installation. Reboot is successfully. Then I enter:

sudo yum groupinstall "Fedora Workstation", got the following messages:

(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

Then I tried: yum groupinstall gnome-desktop and got this message:

Code: [Select]

No match for group package "totem-nautilus"
But I'm able to proceed with the installation.

After reboot, I enter startx and got the following message:

Wayland or X? If it's Wayland, that might be your problem. See https://www.talospace.com/2019/11/fedora-31-mini-review-on-blackbird-and.html

Thanks. I will look into it. On the installer, I select "Fedora Workstation". After reboot, I got a blank screen without login window. So I can't choose X or Wayland. Even Ctrl + Alt + F2 doesn't work.

Surprisingly, a few weeks ago the update from 30 to 31 worked without any problems. Now neither a Clean Install nor the update from 30 to 31 works. The same error.

I remember using the GNOME Tweak tool under 30.

Is there a bug in GNOME? If I select GNOME on the installer, I don't get a login screen after installation. I even can't switch to the console, mouse doesn't react.

Compare your line with the original one.

Original line:

Code: [Select]

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jwboyer/fedora.git --depth 1 --branch kernel-5.5.0-0.rc1.git0.1.fc32
Your line:

Code: [Select]

git clone git: //git.kernel.org/pub/scm/ linux / kernel / git / jwboyer / fedora.git --depth 1 --branch kernel-5.5.0-0.rc1.git0.1.fc32
@meklort: Thanks for the patch. I have another question, after patching the kernel, will it be replaced in the next update of Fedora or will it remain?

Yes, CPU dual fan config. On the Talos-II it works, on the Blackbird not:
