I allowed the automatic update on the netbook last night. All seemed to go well up to and including the message that it was finishing off the install. When next I looked I had a black screen with a white square cursor. I left this overnight, in case something was still running in the background, but it wasn't.
A reboot brought the same display. I was able to get a level3 login, both as user and root. Can someone advise me where to look now? Thanks

What happens in lvl3 when you run startx?
After I close the box previously reported I see lines that include
Is GTK+ supported: no Is Qt supported: no #which probably explains something :-) .... kstartupconfig4: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory FreeType: couldn't open face /usr/share/fonts/cjkuni/ukai.ttc: 1 Warning Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset
Waiting for X server to shut down Dropping master
So I guess this explains what's happening. Now I presume I have to install additional packages to correct these. Can you tell me which packages? Thanks
Anne
How did you upgrade you're system? If you used yum, then what happens when you run yum-complete-transaction?
Eli
Updating the metadata was one display that seemed to go on a long time. I now find that it is still trying to update from the F10 repos. How/where can I get the release packages to change this?
Anne
Depending on your installation
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/11/Fedora/x86_6 4/os/Packages/fedora-release-11-1.noarch.rpm
or
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/11/Fedora/i386/ os/Packages/fedora-release-11-1.noarch.rpm
I grabbed that on this laptop and put it on a pendrive, but so far haven't figured out how to identify the pendrive and mount it.
One other thing.. You should make sure that you're *.rep files under /etc/yum.repos.d have not been configured so that they are only able to get things from the Fedora 10 repos that is
where on the line baseurl and / or mirrorlist where it should read "$releasever" it says "10"
No, they weren't, but that made me think of temporarily changing the repos to 11 instead of releasever. That didn't work. Presumably the url has changed (urlopen error). I thought I had vi'd every repo, disabling everything except fedora.repo and fedora-updates.repo, setting them to use '11', but no joy - I'm still seeing F10 packages found. I don't mind using the command line but there is simply no quick way of finding out which repo is still enabled.
I hate being beaten, but this is wasting a huge amount o time. I think it would be quicker to download the DVD and start afresh.
