Re: problem in Fedora16 with Gnome3

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Well my problem was because I upgraded from F14 to F16. Apparently the upgrade logic doesn't install gnome-shell because it didn't exist in F14 and thus is not in the upgrade.

If you installed from a Live CD, it does not sound like the same problem.

One way to find out if gnome-shell is missing in your installation is to run the following command from a terminal:

$ rpm -qa | grep gnome-shell

Among possible other results you should see:

gnome-shell-3.2.2.1-1.fc16.i686

If you do not see the above entry, then you should login as root and install the gnome-shell using yum:

yum install gnome-shell

If you do see that gnome-shell is installed then there is some other problem. I have another F16 system that will not run in non-fallback-mode. So far I have no answers on that one.

           It seems like you're using fallback mode. This is used when the
           graphics
           card or the drivers are not good enough.

           What kind of graphics card do you have? Can you go to
        system settings,
           system info. Then under the graphics tab you should see if
        you're
           using
           fallback mode or not.

           Else, just post a screenshot.
