Is this with updates repository enabled, or not? I believe I tried it without updates enabled, but I'm not sure now. I was also fighting with getting anaconda to use a proxy (weird office Cisco firewall issue slowing downloads from the Internet dramatically, but a local proxy outside the firewall works fine). It is very unclear that if you use "closest mirror" that specifying a proxy on the same screen has no effect; it has to be done on the boot command line (there's a BZ for this but was closed as WONTFIX IIRC; IMHO there should at least be a warning). > Yeah, if there's a conflict between packages that are all dependencies, > no flags will help. The RPMs need to be fixed. Definitely; the combination of that plus an anaconda bug just rebooting made it seriously frustrating to figure out though. > > Now, when I get to the graphical login, my USB is dead.

I will try to go back and find the conflicting packages, see which was in updates, and file a bug (I made an IRC account but haven't used it in a long time). I did finally get the system going by using the MATE live spin image (and then loading updates) - no USB issue there. I've just always used the netinst image (CD, USB, or PXE booted). Now everything but my Bluetooth works, but I think that's a issue with a near-brand-new chip (Intel 8260 wifi+BT), the Linux kernel driver, and firmware (hopefully F23 will get Linux 4.3 soon and that'll help). -- Chris Adams <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx> -- 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?
