Unersolved issues with FC6?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've still got a few problems with FC6 I'm hoping somebody can help 
me clear up.

1) I get the message "usb 1-2: device descriptor read/all, erorr -71" 
on startup.  My USB flash drives seem to work.

2) I can't enable "Desktop Effects".  Is some special hardware 
required?

3) I get vertical lines when I use the backspace or right arrow over 
text.  It shows up in Firefox text boxes and text in the main display 
window.  It doesn't happen when I backspace over text in Open Office 
Writer.

4) Minimized windows don't show up on the lower panel.  You have no 
idea that you have a minimized window anywhere.  If I hit Alt-Esc 
hidden windows will maximize.

5) Dual head doesn't work but I don't think it has ever.

6) I installed both Gnome and KDE because I wanted to see what KDE 
looked like.  Now if I switch to KDE, it starts with a dialog "I've 
Detected a Panel Already Running and Will Now Exit".  The Gnome 
panels at the top and bottom of the screen are visible along with the 
KDE panel at the bottom of the screen above the Gnome one.

7) cdrecord -scanbus returns the following message.  I did manage to 
write the Zod DVD by right clicking on the file icon.

[root@knute knute]# cdrecord -scanbus

[root@knute knute]#  

I'm serioiusly considering going back to FC5.  I've got it running on 
two other machines with no problems and there were none of these 
startup problems with it either.  I do think 6 is a little faster 
booting and running.

Thanks very much,
