Black login screen after upgrade Fedora 42 to 43

Ask Fedora
1

Starting up I receive a black screen with a ‘-’ sign in the top left corner.
Then I can start up with Ctrl+Alt+F3
A login-screen appears:
Fedora Linux 43 (Workstation Edition)
Kernel 6.17.9-300.fc43.x86_64 on x86_64 (tty3)
Activate the web console with: systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket
Localhost login: xxxxx
Password: yyyyy
gaston.verhulst : ~ $ here with gnome-shell --wayland I can start and see the Wayland coloured screen and can work on it as before in Fedora 42, except Exit and seeing Settings, but that is another question.

Please here my question: do I to type that systemctl enable ..... command and not gnome-shell --wayland in order to come to the coloured Wandland screen ?
I am afraid to do it by my own, because I am not sure to do it.
Many thanks in advance for each answer,
Kind regards,
Gaston Verhulst.

Do you have an nvidia GPU and are you using the RPMfusion nvidia drivers?
If so you may need to make sure they have been built for your kernel.

I have check with these commands:
gastonv@localhost:~$ nvidia-smi bash: nvidia-smi: commando niet gevonden... > command not foind
And also:
gastonv@localhost:~$ lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display' µ 0:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon µ E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
DeviceName: Onboard IGD Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] Device 7817 Kernel driver in use: i915

Also I think it is an Intel-driver.
Many thanks for your prompt reply.
Awayting, many thanks in advance,
Kind regards,

Hello,
Thanks for the reply.
I think, the problem is not easy to solve for me.
Because I can startup every day or reboot in the day, the execution is not urgent.
Another point I was thinking: perhaps I can make a new install from Fedora 43 with an installation dvd.
In the past, I was working on Fedora from edition 2, that is many years ago, and sometimes, when it was necessary, I have made a new installation with an installation disk.
Awayting what I am going to do,
Kind regards.

Hello,
In a previous topic from me on 17 apr 2025:
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedora-42-workstation-login-screen-doesnt-appear/148981
concerning a similar problem,
Then I received an answer: Solved by Mark, (still many thanks)
you can install the updated package with this command
assuming arch is x86_64:

sudo dnf upgrade https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/gdm/48.0/3.fc42/x86_64/gdm-48.0-3.fc42.x86_64.rpm  
sudo systemctl restart gdm

Now please my question:
The link of the first line concerns fc42.
Searching, I found something for fc43:
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/gdm/48.0/2.fc43/x86_64/

https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/gdm/48.0/2.fc43/x86_64/gdm-48.0-2.fc43.x86_64.rpm

Please now my question: should I make a change that the similar problem from Fedora 43 can be solved with using this similar line?
Many thanks in advance for each answer,
Kind regards,
Gaston Verhulst.
