This might be useless but: I have updated many times successfully until F31. My desktop just wasn't working the same after the F31 upgrade and my oft used productivity shortcuts including Super key weren't working. I spent lots of time checking Tweaks tool etc.
Then I checked the settings (cog) on the login screen. F31 and switched me to use Gnome Classic be default!! I had never made that switch myself. So I switched to Gnome, logged in, and all the familiarity and productivity of Gnome 3 returned. I'm embarrassed by how long it took me to figure it out. -William On Mon, Jan 6, 2020 at 2:25 PM Stephen Morris <samor...@netspace.net.au> wrote: > Hi, > I have just upgraded to F31 from F30 using dnf system-upgrade > download --releasever=31.
