Other possibility is incompatible graphics card or incorrect graphics card detection. Make sure that the system has 512 MB of memory (bloating requirement for all Gnome and KDE desktop installations since Fedora Core 6). If you do not have or can not install a minimum of 512 MB of RAM then do not bother with installing Gnome or KDE. Use XFce desktop or a run text only. Second, no point in doing an upgrade of FC2. Go straight to and perform a new install of F11 over FC2 . Too much has changed between kernels, file systems (LVM and ext4), and applications (Xorg-x11, open office, Gnome, KDE, etc.) since FC2. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
