Beartooth: I have seen a lot of emails saying there were issues with FC13...I am running FC13 - 64bit under Virtualbox on Windows 7/64bit without any problems. Maybe you should open up a problem with the Fedora support people. I also don't know aht kind of hardware you run. I have working OPSYS for 40+ years and have seen a lot, Not everything, but hardware can definitely cause issues. I had one with a video card and fedora many moons ago. If I can help let me know.

It's one of those fuzzy boundary things, almost certainly at least 99 44/100% my error -- and not reproducible (nor deducible, despite having occurred three times, alas!). I've asked repeatedly, in several places, starting here on this list: no response. I tried both the LUGs I follow; nobody on either had seen it. If it was (or is) on Gnome's on RedHat's bugzilla, I missed it. Concluding it was some aberration of mine, I started trying things, especially "yum update" and "yum remove" followed (after taking note of other things being removed) by "yum install." Last of all, as I mentioned in my first post, I tried preupgrade. So now I propose to wipe the offending machines, or at least tell anaconda to use all space -- and start over with F 12, which has never had the problem, reconfigure it, and try preupgrade again (or else a fresh install of F 14 next month). On an affected machine the most conspicuous symptom (to me, at least) is that I can't use the workspace switcher. > If you must feel you have to fetch F12 and reinstall, here's one > mirror of the CD and DVD ISO images: > > http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/12/Fedora/x86_64/iso/ > http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/12/Fedora/i386/iso/ > > Just wget whatever ISOs you need.

I've downloaded F12 from two of the sources posted here, and am burning DVDs as I type. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is. -- 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 -- 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
