Fedora 22 Upgrade Part 1: tanukimario

Started off with the guest room computer as it’s the least used. If things go pear-shaped there’ll be less complaining. fedup had a complaint about the one of the dependencies of the Dolphin Emulator. I just uninstalled it for now. I’ll worry about reinstalling it later. Often during these upgrades it appears that the biggest source of issues are badly written dependencies; badly written in the sense that I end up having to remove the offending packages only to reinstall them post-upgrade without any issues.

When it loads up, for some reason I don’t have a GUI. I can startx with root and I see that Fedora has taken KDE’s psychedelic kaleidoscope and made it monochromatic.

Let’s see if a reboot gives me a GUI with the normal user. Good thing I didn’t try this on my main computer yet.

I have a feeling this may have something to do with a display manager change. Plus some KDE packages, like Settings, are missing. So I do a

dnf groupinstall “KDE Plasma Workspaces”

I’ll post later with the results.
