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-fedora-22/>. 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. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
