On a Lenovo Thinkpad running F31 Mate, fully updated, I'm presently running the Binary Ring screensaver. It works fine; this is just a question, not a problem. Whenever that screensaver begins to move toward a change, I see or think I see images inside the ring. Most of them look vaguely Indian or Maya, and seem to include human or at least bipedal figures.

But I'm pretty sure they're really there (not like the poetic little man upon the stair). What are they? Is there a setting for that screensaver that makes them more apparent?

rescue mode needs rescuing!
(stand-alone home workstation; f30; Gnome) Well, as I noted when I closed the "prep. for upgrade." thread, I'm getting hints of hardware trouble. I thought I'd start by testing memory (memtester). My understanding is that it's best to do that with as little else as possible running. So I re-booted. In the grub menu, I chose the line "Fedora (0-rescue-[32 hex digits]) 30 (Thirty)" which is the 4th line in my grub menu. A thick line of various shades of a bluish color appeared at the bottom of the screen, with "Fedora 19" at the right end. The line turned white starting from the left end, working slowly towards the right. Then in the middle of the screen, the message "NVIDIA kernel module missing. Falling back to nouveau" appeared. Nothing else happened for over 5 minutes, at which point I did a manual hard reset. 1. The grub menu entry and the boot progress line contradict each other. 2. The rescue mode fails to completely boot. My preference is for the rescue mode to use the most recent release practical up to and including f30 (not 31!). I do now have Fedora live on a USB stick, but as I noted (in different words) when I closed the "prep. for upgrade" thread, it's glitchy. So I'd like to have this second fall-back.

Samuel has already answered your question to your satisfaction, so this is just for future reference. At this point you could have used man mount to see how mount works. With your background you are fully capable of resolving simple errors like this. Mount doesn't create the mount point, so my memory was faulty and the mount point didn't already exist. Samuel got around this by using plain /mnt, as that always exists, but if there is anything else trying to use /mnt/[some directory], that will cause problems (unlikely from an ISO, though). > This might be easier if we make this more concrete.

Something that has worked for me in the past is to chroot to the installed system as you already are and then run dnf update to bring the system fully up to date. Often that will resolve a problem.

Twice, very early in boot-up, before the grub menu appeared, a warning about the cpu being hot appeared.

=> reboot
Odd thing: the grub menu font looks about double size . .
"Probing EDD . . ." - also in double size font
"Probing EDD . . ." - then changes to normal size font
but still not other text on the screen till the F31 login prompt . .
Thanks,
Phil.
