I assume an issue with the graphical interface. Change the systemd

Which GPU do you have and which driver is installed?
I added that to the longest line in the f-41 grub editor presents, and
booted.

It got me to a console login.

While there, I attempted to find 2 key boot log lines.  Using grep,
redirection, and windows-7's ext2explore, I brought the results into
windows-7.  Here are those log entries.  I don't know a way of getting
all the formatting codes out.

The graphics card is nvidia GeForce GTX 660.

The driver is the one from the RPM Fusion repository.  Last attempt to
update was this morning, just before trying the f40 to f41 upgrade.
According to Google, you need rpmfusion's akmod-nvidia-470xx for the
GeForce GTX 660 drivers.

Can you confirm the package is installed?

Jeff

1. akmod-nvidia-470xx

From the f41 console login, I grepped the dnf logs, and then grepped the results for todays's date.  Here are the results:

------

But it's not clear to me whether the driver is properly installed.  I recall that in a recent thread, George referenced a web page "linux-hardware.org".  Based on that, last week, I installed hw-probe and ran it.  A short while ago, from the f41 console login, I found that this morning's f40 to f41 upgrade lost hw-probe.  I re-installed it and ran it, piping output via "tee" to an output text file.  Here is that output:

------

Probe for hardware ... Ok
Reading logs ... Ok
WARNING: failed to detect EDID
Uploaded to DB, Thank you!

Probe URL: https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=7fa74ee631

------

I looked at the web page the the output referenced.    It's complaining about the driver.

a. dnf logs show the driver installed.

b. hw-probe shows no graphics driver.  but I ran it in the f41 console.  does that make a difference?

c. The upgrade did lose something: hw-probe.  I wonder what else went wrong.

d. iffor this thread, anyone is wondering what hardware I have, the web page referenced in the hw-probe output above should answer.

My final answer is that I don't know if the proper graphics driver is properly installed or not.  It was just before this morning's "dnf system-upgrade reboot".
