Only desktop wallpaper after login F15
Yesterday, I installed F15 from Live CD (downloaded around May release of the version). The first run was fine and I was able to install all usual applications - Chrome, Audacious, VLC, gcc, gcc-c++. Next morning, when I started the machine, I could reach up to the login menu and login successfully, thereafter the screen only had the default F15/Gnome3 wallpaper and the mouse cursor; nothing else would appear. Not even the task bar. Only keys which were being responded to where Ctrl+Alt+Del giving a logout dialog. I formatted and reinstalled. Again it worked fine the first time. But next boot gave the same problem. Moreover without being able to access the desktop, I am short of ideas to do anything to resolve the problem. Any workarounds?-- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Re: Only desktop wallpaper after login F15
No. There no response for either of the keys that you mention. Only dialogs that turn up are - 1. Logout: On CTRL+ALT+DEL and 2. Wifi Password Prompt else nothing. BTW, Just before shutting down the computer I installed the latest google chrome download (from website) and VLC (from yum) and on clicking shut down I got some alert about crash in Nautilis. However, I could not read the details as the system proceeded with shut down process.

Does ALT-F2, then r enter do anything? This should reload the Gnome desktop. -- -- Steve-- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Re: Only desktop wallpaper after login F15
I am Fairly comfortable with CLI. Just that I do not know how to skip Gnome and log directly into CLI. I tried to edit the systemd to multi-user target by booting from the live CD and accessing the hard drive where the file is stored, but things did not work out and still it is Gnome. If I can reach CLI, I can try removing a couple of packages I have installed and see if they are the culprits or as you mention try desktop installation. Is there a way I can skip Gnome and go directly into CLI (barring systemd). Win 98 had a wonderful feature that allowed direct entry into CLI by pressing F8 at boot and selecting appropriate option. Sadly neither XP nor Fedora seems to provide such an option.

Any workarounds? I'm not sure what's going on, but if it happened twice, the third time's not likely to be any better. However, I take it you're not comfortable enough with a CLI to try to work out what's going on that way. Why not try installing at least one other DE, such as KDE or XFCE along with Gnome? Then, when (not if) it happens again, you can try your secondary DE and have a chance to do some forensics, such as groveling through /var/log/Xorg.0.log.-- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Re: Only desktop wallpaper after login F15
I tried reinstalling the third time today and faced the same problem. This time however, I was able to get into command line directly (Ctrl + Alt + F2). I have managed to install XFCE and it seems to be running fine. I am almost sure that the problem is with Nautilus. On all three occassion Nautilus crashed and post restart the desktop would not work. It seems to have some allergy to FF8 or Google Chrome. Though I am not sure which and it well could be neither. I am saying because after installing these packages the alter came up. (SELinux gives an ABRT message: /usr/bin/nautilus was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)). The Xorg.0.log seems to have nothing interesting either. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Re: Only desktop wallpaper after login F15
In my case, I could never log onto the new F16 install, graphically. Just got that crappy oh no graphic, with no way to get any further. However, I was lucky in that I could CTRL+ALT+F2 (or one of the other terminals), and log into a command line. I let a yum update do its thing, and after that I could log into a graphical system. That sort of thing would be one of my first things to try if a new install wasn't working right. Certainly not reformatting and re-installing, this isn't Windows. If the install seemed to work without any errors, the first time around, then I'd be fairly sure that the install had worked. And that another attempt wouldn't be any different. #yum update does it for me as well Gnome 3 is now working fine.

F15 - 640MB RAM Requirement Issue
Hi, I have been using F15 Beta for almost a month now. I currently have 512MB RAM and I must say, it has been working fairly normal (in fact the experience) was better then when XP was on the same machine. I was a bit surprised to know that installing F15 Final requires a minimum of 640MB RAM and what was more surprising that the installation will not proceed. Moreover, F15 Final running from the Live CD was working quite usual and there was little impact on performance, of course, besides the typical Live CD performance constraints. I was just curious why was this (blocking of installation) done on the F15 Final Release and more so why is it not allowing the installation instead of, lets say, giving some kind of warning and proceeding. I was also wondering if there is some way around it?

Re: F15 - 640MB RAM Requirement Issue
Hi, Thanks! For the reply. But yum itself is horribly slow on F15 beta. I rarely get above 7 Kbps, which makes online upgrade very frustrating. I even tried a lot of suggestions over the web for changing mirrors, configuring name-servers etc., none helped. But, things seem to be working fine on the Final Release Live CD.

Thanks! My guess would be that an upgrade using yum (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq) would be such a workaround. Anaconda is not involved, so there is nothing to check the minimum RAM requirement. --Leonid Podolny +972-54-5696948 PGP: 0xB156B9F0-- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
Re: F15 - 640MB RAM Requirement Issue
Hi, It does not seem that the slow speed is due to high load on F15 servers, I guess it is a problem with the beta. I have got decent processor and I don't think simultaneously downloading and processing would be an issue. I guess, I will try with presto and see how it can help. But, I hope that further installers do not discontinue the installations when minimum requirements are not met. -- Saturday, 28 May, 2011 10:24 PM From: Kam Leo kam@gmail.com To: Community support for Fedora users users@lists.fedoraproject.orgOn Sat, May 28, 2011 at 1:43 PM, Joe Zeff j...@zeff.us wrote: On 05/28/2011 01:22 PM, Kam Leo wrote: It's a trade-off. If you have a fast internet connection but a slow processor you might actually be better off downloading the full rpm instead of waiting for your processor to decompress and/or merge the deltas. True. However, I inferred from what the OP wrote that the download time was an issue. And, if you stop and think about it, it probably is. F 15 just came out; lots of people have just upgraded to it and are sucking down whatever updates have come out since F 15 was finalized. This can be slowing down the downloads until things stabilize. If so, presto can be a big help. The OP stated that he had problems with the F15-beta updates. His download speed improved when F15 reached final. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
