Subject: My notes on how to upgrade to FC25

Hi All,

Fedora Core 25 just hit.  In case anyone need them, here
are my notes on how to upgrade from 24 to 25:

How to upgrade Fedora Code (FC) 24 to FC25:


Note: as of FC24, Fedup is dead, it's been replaced by

      dnf-plugin-system-upgrade package

see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp (states the transition to dnf )

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade



# dnf update --refresh
# dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade
# dnf system-upgrade download --allowerasing --refresh --releasever=25
# dnf clean packages         <-- optional
# dnf system-upgrade reboot

Be careful if you use Compiz, something with graphics or something else breaks it. Causes artifacts to be left over and other display issues. Not sure yet all details, but heads up.

Also hear Gnome 3 users are having display issues especially using Nvidia cards.

Hi Mark,

My shop FC24 computer updated with only one incident.
After it rebooted from the update, boot would only
proceed up to "Starting switch root", then stop at
a flashing cursor.

Not to panic, <ctrl><alt><f2>, log on as myself,
and "startxfce4" and everything is back to normal.

After about four hours, I checked back with
<ctrl><alt><f1> and the cursor was still flashing.

So, I have time to figure it out.

I saw that on one machine, left it and it completed, upgrade was running but not displaying anything.
