I mean its only logging after all Ask the experts, not me. vt1 hung endlessly, with a black screen once the daemons had finally all timed out, and on vt2+, it was impossible to log in. After typing the password, the system would hang, and then a 60 second timeout would be noted, and hence, no login was possible. I was forced to alt-SysRq-re to kill the remaining daemons, I presume, and then I noticed on vt1 that graphical login was taking place, but on a ro system, hence config files could not be written to, hence each in turn generating an error. It was a total disaster and took nearly 30 minutes on an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

I could not determine exactly which update caused the problem. I downgraded gcc, iproute, rsyslog, libX11 and their dependencies in order to get my system booting again.
