Hi-
Am just now getting around to upgrading a secondary HP laptop from
FC39 -> FC40.
The post-reboot upgrade process for FC40 appears to display a
sterile windoze-style GUI progress-indication now. It initially sat
there at 0% for a long, LONG time, which scared the [bleep] out of me.
I don't launch my Linux systems into GUI-mode by default,
preferring text-mode until/if I decide to manually 'startx' - so the
new silent upgrade process (with no indication of progress) probably
looks slick to new users, but is a loss-of-functionality from a
developer point of view.
Is there a way to request the upgrade process revert to the
(comforting) noisy/verbose text-based mode?
Press the ESC key.
;) Hilarious... I was afraid to do anything that rude for fear of
leaving things in an indeterminate state.
The progress indicator is provided by Plymouth, just like the normal
bootup. You can use ESC to switch between the text output and graphical
view. ESC is generally safe. It's CTRL-C that can interrupt things.
But I don't think there's anything you can do to interrupt the upgrade
(or bootup in general) other than doing CTRL-ALT-DEL.
