CentOS 7 won't boot to GUI after kernel upgrade (CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804)

[linuxnewb]

Hi all,

I had to startx manually from a new console after booting.

I've tried to rollback the updates but get "Failed to downgrade" errors:

Code: Select all

$ sudo yum history rollback 522
[..]
Failed to downgrade: yum-plugin-fastestmirror-1.1.31-42.el7.noarch
Skipping the running kernel: kernel-3.10.0-862.2.3.el7.x86_64
Error: No package(s) available to install

Possibly related, there's failed dependency resolutions reported by yum:
Edit: enabled epel-testing per moderator (avij) comment in another thread and now there's only one dependency error.

Code: Select all

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: kf5-kdeclarative-5.36.0-2.el7.x86_64 (@epel)
           Requires: qt5-qtbase(x86-64) = 5.6.2
           Removing: qt5-qtbase-5.6.2-1.el7.x86_64 (@base)
               qt5-qtbase(x86-64) = 5.6.2-1.el7

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Thanks in advance for any help.

Resolved now. I just removed kf5-kdeclarative and re-ran yum update. Several hundred updates completed successfully and a restart booted normally into X.
