If it is then at the CLI do "service ConsoleKit restart" and try again. Use chkconfig to have the service start automatically when the system boots. The issue was a bug directly related to F7.

Upgrading to F10 will be better, it will take time. ~af -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
