I could not correlate or pinpoint the error to anything specific because it has been occurring randomly at random times. I am just curious to know if this happens in the case of fresh clean installations of Fedora 16 also because I have been upgrading my system with each successive release since Fedora 13. As of now, I have enabled the avahi daemon as suggested in the Red Hat Bugzilla Bug 758129 referred to by Jatin. -- 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 Have a question?
