Running F8T3, last night I did a "yum update" after not having done so for a while (to give an idea, I had to yum update rpm* yum* to get past yum update balking on the nodoka-gnome-theme dependency issue). After a successful update, I tried logging in as my regular user only to block for an indefinite amount of time with the background screen loaded and the panel all grey. After fiddling around with the system from a virtual console, I found out what might be the problem. I have $HOME/Music mounted from an NFS exported directory (via /etc/fstab). It seems as if the session startup process blocks, prolly stat'ing the filesystem. The odd thing is this used to work prior to my updating the system. Now, from gdm, I notice that the ethernet connection that went up via the old rc network script had gone down, prolly after NM started. My question is, what should I do to fix it? Can we now remove starting network interfaces at bootup via the old RC scripts and use NetworkManager now? -- Richi Plana -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
