It's great to have mysteries revealed. My desktop too got into the weird state where I could not type in my password to lock the screen (as describe by Andre). I also had a few crash-on-resume problems. And the screen saver no longer honoured my request to go all-black: it left a clock on the screen. I've also had these problems on my notebook (but have not used it much). I thought that the problem might be the very recent kernel update to kernel-3.11.4-201.fc19.x86_64. I booted with the last-but-one kernel, kernel-3.11.3-201.fc19.x86_64. Since then (yesterday), I've not had trouble. But the screen-saver screen is still different. Since I don't use Cinnamon, I'll just remove all its packages, reboot the old kernel, and see if life goes back to normal. Trial and error got me this command to remove Cinnamon: sudo rpm -e `rpm -qa | grep -i cinnamon` muffin nemo nemo-extensions nemo-open-terminal -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
