Menu: System->About this Computer Without getting into what's installed or how it was installed on which machine, try this: Disable SELinux or lower its protection. I've had it cause more problems with various Fedora versions that now I disable it. I'm not running a server, just a one user desktop, so two firewalls (router and system) and being careful has kept me uninfected since Fedora Core 3. Anyway, see if Firefox works. If not and since it apppears that your last update "broke" firefox, do a 'yum update' on both systems, then 'yum remove firefox', and after that completes, 'yum install firefox'. This should install any firefox dependencies. In my opinion, the easiest thing would be to do clean installs (no upgrade) of F12 on both systems from a newly downloaded, burned and checksummed DVD. Yes, it's a pain, but it will take less time than trying to find out what's currently the problem, and fixing it. Just back up your data, etc. before doing it. FWIW, I've always had problems with upgrading between versions even following the instructions explicitly. I've always ended up with a system that is a mix of the two versions, which ultimately causes problems. Maybe this link will help with your install and configurations. It's a very good reference. I've been using it since FC3 or 4. http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/ B -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
