When I try logging on after booting up FC15 for the first time... oh no! It's extremely irritating to get a cute message that offers no useful information whatsoever. My impression from cursory scanning of this list is that gnome 3 doesn't work with a lot of hardware configurations. Is this likely the problem, and if so is there a way I can log on to KDE, which presumably still works? Any suggestions as to how to proceed would be appreciated. Jerry ----------------------------------------------------- Jerry, I have had the same problem with my first new F15 install. So far there has been no solution, and I am close to giving F15 a burial. I am not sure whether to use a different platform or just use F14. Take a look a this bug link for the details. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=705078 If you have KDE installed you should be able to use KDE at least I could on mine. If you did not install KDE you will have to get to a terminal interface and install KDE with yum. If you need more details just let me know, and I will try to give you a hand.
