Updated to 6.18.10 and when booting, the fedora loading screen appears then goes black I can get into tty while it’s like this but as I’m quite new to Linux I’m at a complete loss as to what to do.
Any help appreciated.
You should be able to get back into KDE from there with
startplasma-wayland
Then you could run updates again.

All I get is
startplasma-wayland: Shutting down… startplasmacompositor: Shutting down… startplasmacompositor: Done.
Tried multiple times but nothing happens.
Selecting a previous kernel in grub also does the same thing, I tried “nomodeset” on boot but it says cant find command
When exactly did you try nomodeset and on which line?
How many older kernels do you have and have you tried all of them?

Ty, Realised I put nomodeset in the wrong place, put it on the Linux line in grub, but it still loads then black screens.
I’ve tried the top 3 but not rescue, as I’m not 100% sure what it is (although I can hazard a guess).
Well…I have never actually ever had to use the rescue entry.
However, I would try it and see if it brings you into a working environment where you can try updating to see if that fixes some/all of the problems.

Note that kernel 6.18.10 was replaced by 6.18.12 several days back.
As soon as possible you might try sudo dnf upgrade --refresh and see if it updates the kernel.
Just yesterday there was a user here who performed an update using the software gui to update and only got the 6.18.10 kernel while when he then used dnf for that task he then got over 300 packages updated.

Thank you, seems there was just an issue with 6.18.10, updated to 6.18.13 and boots perfect. I initially had trouble updating but I had a VPN kill switch so it wouldn’t connect until I deleted it.
