All three fedora versions in the grub menu appear to yield the same results. So whatever
the "dnf upgrade" did, it affected all three. The windows-7 boot still works
(this is a dual boot system, a desktop).
My camera died over a year ago, and I have no portable devices. Having been unemployed
for over 2.5 years now, I cannot afford to replace the camera or buy any portable
devices.
I copied the failure messages the old fashioned way (paper and pencil); I'm manually
typing in what I got....
-----
Generating "/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt"
Entering emergency mode. Exit the shell to continue.
Type "journalctl" to view system logs.
You might want to save "/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt" to a USB stick or /boot
after mounting them and attach it to a bug report.

After I type "exit", I get this:
-----
Failed to start default.target: Transaction is destructive.
See system logs and 'systemctl status default.target' for details.

After that, I must manually reset the system.
I tried looking at "/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt". The file's lines are
too long to fit across the screen, and the file is over 1000 lines long. I did not really
understand what I was seeing. What should I be looking for?
I tried entering "journalctl". The output's lines are too long to fit
across the screen, and the file is almost 900 lines long. I did not really understand
what I was seeing. What should I be looking for?
I tried "systemctl status default.target". I got this 6-line output:
-----

Removing the rhgb and quiet options from the kernel command line resulted in lines of
output flying by far too fast.
This system has worked well for about 4 years now. What was in the dnf upgrade today?
