Here's a post from Fedorazine expanding on the XWindows problem that plagued those of us with integrated Intel Video this week. It tells you how to find the RPM files for the old, working version of Xorg-X11 and reinstall them. It also notes that the problem has been fixed.
What's not told is how a novice user will:
- Figure out that the problem was in X,
- Figure out how to get into a machine that won't boot and change the /etc/inittab file so that it will boot to console mode (Answer: Knoppix), and
- Figure out that there are text browsers such as lynx which will let you access the information you need.
That seems to be a pretty tall order, I'm afraid.
Note that call L&T in the middle of the night is not an option.
Actually, the useful thing about this article for me is that it tells you where the update utility yum saves the RPM files it installs. They go in
/var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages
