A user running gnome came in this morning, clicked on the application menu... and it was much shorter than he expected. He could get to firefox, and googled about refreshing that... and found something that told him to reboot.
And that's it: I cannot get X up, at all. I just get the "oh, no, something failed, please log out and try again".
Fully updated CentOS 7, [AMD/ATI] Oland [Radeon HD 8570 / R7 240/340 OEM], and, like most of us, he uses two monitors. . I've tried removing the xorg.conf, and renaming /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-fglrx.conf, which was there (I didn't put it there when I built the box a few months ago.)
What if you boot into runlevel 3 (that is no gdm or kdm...), log in into virtual console, rename all X related stuff in /etc, and from command line execute
startx
? What do you get spit on console, and what do you get in xorg log?
So far, I've force fsck (and I DESPISE systemd, oh, no, we *can't* let you use /forcefsck, we'll ignore it, you need to change the grub2 command line....), brought it up in runlevel 3, and no difference - startx gives me the idiot screen, and hitting exit gives me a live screen - monitor's not in power save, but black, blank, and it won't accept keyboard input. And I can't make it let go without a reboot (at least doing what I've been trying).
Yum doesn't seem to have a group-reinstall - I was going to try to reinstall GNOME desktop. <snip> mark
