Fedora 24

[Dave Pawson]

Thanks.

I'm still no wiser as to why the Fedora upgrade failed.
However, I'm now running using Nouveau, so I'm happy - I do not
need any fast graphics (not a games user!).

The bugzilla asked me to submit a log using ..
nvidia-bug-report.sh

which is not on my system, so that is going nowhere.

Odd no other users have reported it as a problem.

Ah well.

Thanks for the help

regards
