Perform Upgrade
I followed following guide:
https://fedoramagazine.org/upgrading-from-fedora-22-to-fedora-23/
sudo dnf upgrade
sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=23 --best
The only thing that I did different from the article is that I hit error that mention nvidia drive from rpmfusion cannot be upgraded. So I did following
sudo dnf erase *nvidiaand then redo
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=23 --best
sudo dnf system-upgrade rebootAfter that, I am able to successfully update.
However, after the update is complete, when I tried to install nVidia proprietary driver, but facing following issue:
nVidia Driver is not compatible with Fedora 23 as Fedora 23 includes X.Org 1.18 release candidate version
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/77564/fedora-23-nvidia-proprietary-driver/
To overcome it, I following article
http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1598
sudo dnf --allowerasing --releasever=22 downgrade xorg-x11-server-Xorg
sudo cat exclude=xorg-x11* >> /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
Follow the article to install nVidia
http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia
sudo cat exclude=xorg-x11* >> /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
sudo reboot now
However, after reboot, I found the GDM screen shows up, but no user login prompt. After some research, I found following article
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/77555/fedora-23-gnome-login-issues/
which seem to indicate that GDM not working with nVidia driver (it seem true, if I remove all nVidia package, the GDM shows up correctly).
As a workaround, I use lightgdm to login
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/37728/unable-to-login-after-upgrade/
On the login screen, press
ctl + Alt + F2Login as a user that have sudo previlige
sudo dnf -y install lightdm system-switch-displaymanager
sudo system-switch-displaymanager lightdm
sudo reboot nowAfter that, it should have lightdm to prompt login and one should have Fedora 23 + nVidia proprietary driver.
Please note to remove the change on
sudo cat exclude=xorg-x11* >> /etc/dnf/dnf.confOnce there is an offical X.Org 1.18 release and offical nVidia release to support it. (Also switch back lightdm to gdm if it is fixed.)
I did use nVidia proprietary driver because my nVidia card did not support by open source driver and only have software render, which is too slow to use on Krita.
