I wrote a reply yesterday, which seems to have evaporated into cyberspace; but today's events have rendered it nugatory anyhow. Preupgrade hit me with the old bad problem of boot space. Rather than slog through that yet again, I did a fresh install (from an F15 DVD). This was onto a refurbished IBM Thinkpad T42. It completed, called for a reboot, and took me through the firstboot routine. When I first tried to log into Gnome3, I got an error message which I failed to write down, expecting to see it many more times. (I didn't.) It seemed to be telling me the T42 was not machine enough to run F15. When I logged out and back in, though, all seemed to work -- for a while. But when I let the machine alone for half an hour or so, it filled the screen with cryptic messages and froze. The same happened a couple more times with Gnome, and then also a couple of times with Xfce. Unless someone knows better, I conclude that the T42 really isn't machine enough for F15. (It had been running F14 quite happily.) <sigh> -- 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
