I feel like screaming at it, "I've already told you 5 times what the f-ing key is". The only solution to this I have found is to re-boot. (Even ctrl-alt-backspace, forcing a new login, does not work.) Admittedly this only happens about 1 time in 10. As far as I can see, NM is completely devoid of any documentation that could conceivably help if it does not work. The NM developers suffer from the delusion that their toy is infallible. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
