Hi, I just upgraded a perfectly fine F9 installation into F10-beta. And the experience was not too good! Please find issues below 1- Right after anaconda starts, I switched back to tty1, and noticed the following somehow scary messages "DB4 error database envrionment version mismatch" "Cannot open packages database"! Please find a screensot attached "rpmdb-ver-mismatch.jpg" 2- Anaconda does not start in the correct wide screen resolution 1280x800. Nothing major, but still looks bad 3- At the end of the upgrade, the tiny message window before the reboot button appears kept flickering very heavily for 5 minutes+. I took a video snapshot if anyone is interested! 4- After the first restart, noticed so many file system and sendmail notes of "File modification time in the future .. fixing" ?! 5- Then a major bumper, X startx, the mouse is there with the circles running around it, however GDM does not appear ... I wait and wait ... nothing. I log into text mode, and find this message "Oct 7 19:48:01 kamal-lappy gdm-simple-slave[3100]: WARNING: Could not spawn command: Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/gnome-session" (No such file or directory) Oct 7 19:48:01 kamal-lappy gdm-simple-slave[3100]: WARNING: Could not start command '/usr/bin/gnome-session --autostart=/usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow /': Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/gnome-session" (No such file or directory)" I am primarily a KDE user, and I did check and gnome-session is not there. Don't know why it is in this endless loop though as F9 was working fine. Anyway, I logged into text mode, switched to runlevel 3, and used startkde to start KDE and it worked fine 6- Once KDE is started, its fonts look extremely jaggy and bad! Perhaps this is because I am now not on the closed nvidia driver! 7- Another major bumper, firefox does not start. Starting it from a terminal, and I get this [root@kamal-lappy ~]# firefox Couldn't load XPCOM. Nothing more!! 8- Well, right now I am writing this in konqueror, the arrow keys are not working as well ! Perhaps because of the way I started X I upgraded to beta in order to test since the devs requested such tests. I did not expect so many issues though! And I really wouldn't mind quick fixes and work arounds to get myself back in shape :D All the best of luck
