If the "triggers" described in the journal depend upon Python or Yum, this might explain why the completion fixup had not been made. This was mentioned as a common problem, but is not found in the wiki. There appears to be a dependency gap in the RPM packages for python as mentioned a few days ago. These issues make upgrading less inviting. I just managed to replace the logon images which appear to emulate Leopard mixed with Aurora. Unfortunately, the concentric ovals are not at a reasonable perspective, are unnatural and, well, ugly. The logon image changing colors slightly every hour is hardly such a desired feature to make up for the poor appearance IMHO. -MtView -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
