I guess I don't understand. The start up process has stopped, systemd says something about 'waiting for plymouth graphical boot screen' to end and then stops. X is not running at this point. I can press ALT+CTRL+F2 to open another terminal session and log in to look at /var/log/messages, /var/log/slim.log, and /var/log/Xorg.0.log. I don't know if this helps, but I tried it again a few minutes ago and saw this in /var/log/messages: Aug 31 13:17:24 badboy systemd[1]: prefdm.service holdoff time over, scheduling restart.

slim started up fine when this machine was running Fedora 14. I installed it from for Fedora 15: slim-1.3.2-8.fc15.x86_64 It doesn't start any more. I get this in /var/log/slim.log: slim: unexpected signal 15 sh: /usr/bin/xauth: Permission denied
