Hey guys, im really new at fedora, i was trying to upgrade my fedora 14 to 15 then to 16. i went to couple of trouble (in upgrading, errors and such) but nevertheless i ended up getting it going (the upgrade) using yum releasever=bla etc from the fedora website to 16. now whenever i boot it just freezes after fedora logo and before the login box shows. i cant even click anything or go into ctrl+alt+f2. help... the only thing i can do is press shift when its booting and pick fedora 14 and log in from there using kde (gnome doesnt work, gives the "oops something gone wrong" message) i've been searching for solution and trying out stuff for 2 days but no luck.
oh yeah, i also tried pressing f2 while it boots and everything seems ok except dropbox failed to load and "failed to start LSB: starts and stops login for ISCSI" service or something...
any1 pls help!!!
sorry if things doesnt make sense, cos im typing this in a hurry...
Pls help and thanks in advance!
I've tried what u told me to do. going to run level 2 seems fine but when i try going 5 (init 5) same problem happens again .. desktop shows up with the clock etc (Wed 11:14)
but theyre frozen and the login box doesnt show. help!
how do i do that ? my internet doesnt seem to work too im getting mirror errors "couldnt resolve host" (at runlevel 3), where do i get this nvidia closed driver thing?
before this whole problem thing .. i had fedora 14 and i just upgraded to 16 so everything shouldve been downloaded and updated? i feel that the problem lies somewhere else instead of all these updates/drivers... maybe you could give me a more specific instruction on what to do? im pretty frustrated i havent got this working for 5 - 6 days now.
yes, when i installed nvidia's driver it asks me if i wanted to blacklist the nouveau module and i clicked yes.
ok ill try yum update using the 14 kernel cos i cant connect to internet with that runlevel 3 on 16 kernel no idea why...
EDIT:
ok i finished updating, and now i can see the login screen (doesnt freeze anymore yay) but it looks like a fedora 14's login screen. my screen has now gotten smaller (black borders around) graphic looks really bad and i dont see the fedora logo anymore instead i see a bar (blue and white loading bar). and whenever i tried logging in with GNOME this "oops something gone wrong" error pops. so i can only log in to KDE workspace. What should i do next?
