| From: CLIFFORD ILKAY via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | I just followed the directions here | <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade> to upgrade from 24 to 25. | Within 20 minutes, I had a flawlessly working system. I'm very impressed. I've done perhaps four systems that way. Only one got into a problem. That system (my main desktop) uses the proprietary Nvidia driver. The reason is that Nouveau didn't seem to be able to drive my 4k monitor with my curreent GX 650 card and the proprietary driver can. I get the nvidia driver from rpmfusion, all niceley packaged for Fedora. When I did the in-place update, for some reason the rpmfusion repositories were removed. After that, the existing nvidia driver was obsolete, didn't match the kernel, and could not be updated. It took me a while to figure out what was going wrong. Once I did, all I had to do was re-add the rpmfusion repositories and do and update the system. PS: one source of typos in my messages is that my mechanical keyboard, spec'ed for several lifetimes worth of keystrokes, has a failing e key. Of course the actual warranty period (1 year) is long dead. I'm not willing to follow these leads: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadsby_(novel)> La Desparaton by <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Perec> (I found the second link fascinating. Knuth lists another work by the same author as "perhaps the greatest 20th century novel" <http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~uno/retd.html>)
