Dear all,
My Laptop is Dell vostro 1015 where I'd installed Fedora and Windows 7 dual boot.
I've upgraded from Fedora 15 to Fedora 16 November 2011 and everything went good but for the last two months, the disk space of /var was huge (8 Gigabytes).
Today, I searched the web and found this:
http://fedoraunity.org/Members/fenri...pgrade_cleanup and I saved around 4 Gigabytes using these command lines mentioned in the link:
Code:
#DIST=$(rpm --eval '%{dist}'); find /var/cache/yum/ -type f -name \*.rpm |grep -v $DIST |xargs rm -f;
#DIST=$(rpm --eval '%{dist}'); find /var/lib/yum/plugins/local/ -type f -name \*.rpm |grep -v $DIST |xargs rm -f;
Then I started to do the instructions from the first step like this:
Code:
# rm /var/lib/rpm/__db.00?;
# yum clean all;
# yum-complete-transaction;
# yum update --skip-broken;
# rpm -a --setugids; rpm -a --setperms;
# yum install @core @base;
After the last command line, it took too much time to install some updates, so I closed the terminal and restarted the machine.. and the problem appeared:
I can't see the GUI login window!, I only see a black screen with the mouse loading (I can move the mouse) I waited for an hour but nothing happened.
I can access other login screens (Alt + Shift + F2 , F3 etc. ) and login as a root or as a normal user but I can do nothing to enter GUI !
Thanks in advance for your help..
