I was upgrading my kids' computer from f25 to f28. I went from 25-26, 26-27, but when I went from 27->28, there was a power outage due to bad weather. I don't know at what stage the interruption occurred, because I was not following the install process. Upon reboot, it still said fedora 27 and I rerun
dnf system-upgrade reboot multiple times, even attempted the 27-28 upgrade from scratch. Every time, the system reboots straight into the usual f27 login prompt (I'm not running gdm). On the system I now have a mixture of f27 and f28 packages. dnf check shows things like xz-libs-5.2.3-4.fc27.i686 is a duplicate with xz-libs-5.2.3-4.fc27.x86_64 xz-libs-5.2.3-4.fc27.i686 is a duplicate with xz-libs-5.2.4-2.fc28.x86_64 yajl-2.1.0-8.fc27.x86_64 is a duplicate with yajl-2.1.0-10.fc28.x86_64 zlib-1.2.11-4.fc27.i686 is a duplicate with zlib-1.2.11-4.fc27.x86_64 zlib-1.2.11-4.fc27.i686 is a duplicate with zlib-1.2.11-8.fc28.x86_64 255 in total. I tried installing f28 from a usb stick, but the display is messed-up and, after all my efforts with a crippled display, it crashed. Trying to install via VNC did not work either - neither the direct or connect method. Any way to get out of this mess? _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/7VA45DXUDSXIH4XUUKGRHOFN3I3EEBFC/
