What does it mean "does not run"? Won't start at all,
stays on console?
Comes up with a black screen? Your machine explodes? That could mean
almost anything.
I'm writing this on the laptop that caused all my problems -
a ThinkPad 61 with nVidia G86M [Quadro NVS 140M] GPU
now running Fedora-23beta KDE.
I tried 4 ways of upgrading to F23beta
first Fedup and 2 other upgrades I found: the recommended method in
<
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade> and
<
http://www.unixmen.com/fedora-23-beta-is-out-upgrade-to-fedora-23-from-fe...;.
These all bombed out fairly early, IIRC hanging in all cases.
Finally I downloaded Fedora-Live-KDE-x86_64-23_Beta-1.iso
and wrote it to a USB stick with liveusb-creator (choosing dd-mode).
This ran well, and I installed F23beta on a spare partition,
leaving F22 as a boot option.
The one serious problem with F23beta is that it sometimes freezes,
refusing to accept any input.
I have found no way of waking it except pressing the power button
for 10 seconds and re-starting the system.
A minor fault is that flashes of graphic patterns appear quite often.
Also there is some distortion of some web-pages,
making it impossible in some cases to enter required input.
However, on the whole F23beta runs better than F22 on this laptop.
