Fedora 23: black screen after boot
I've installed fedora 23 xfce desktop on my laptop few days ago and it worked like a beauty.
After few days i did sudo dnf update
. after the update i couldn't change the wallpaper so i restarted my laptop, and after booting up i get two option.. One for the previous kernel and one for the updated one. I tried booth but it keeps taking to a black screen with nothing but a blinking underscore (-).
I can hit e
to edit the booting thing and add a 3 somewhere to get to the terminal. I tried downgrading xorg-x11-server-Xorg
but it didn't fix the issue.
Update
I tried starting x from the terminal using startx and this is what i got.
xauth: file /home........./.serverauth.2093 does not exist.
xauth: (stdin):2 unknown command "some random characters"
