Upgraded Fedora 20 to 21 with Fedup

Posted on Monday Jan 25, 2016 at 06:29PM in Linux


Fedora LogoSuccessfully went through a workstation upgrade  Fedora 20 --> 21 using fedup instructions at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp

The only issue I had (and expected ) was an nVidia driver problem that was easily fixed.
F21 installed version 346 but my GT9600 based card needs the 340.


<ctl>-<alt>-F2


sudo yum remove xorg-x11-drv-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-devel kmod-nvidia


sudo yum install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx akmod-nvidia-340xx kmod-nvidia-340xx


rebooted


Success!

rm -f /etc/systemd/system/default.target;ln -s /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target

rm -f /etc/systemd/system/default.target;ln -s /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target
