One that most developers don't follow. </div>Hey, I said I would file a bug report! =) As a matter of fact, I was on the way to do it when I found someone already did it: <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=372011" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=372011</a> And apparently there's even a workaround that solved the problem for some people (but, unfortunately, not all): <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=372011#c28" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=372011#c28</a> I am at work now, will try this ASAP and post back here (and at bug 372011) my results. <div class="Ih2E3d"> > I really have no idea just how many have had problems such as this.

Still, I agree that success count should be higher -- but it doesn't "ease the pain" of being one of the unfortunate ones =( Regards, Andre <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> -- fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com">fedora-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list</a> </div></div></blockquote></div> Ohh... The upgrade pain looks HORRIBLE. Isn't it a chance for a newbie to escape :|. At the time when Fedora is struggling to prove itself a Stable Desktop Linux for Beginners these issues should be fixed ASAP.Posting success stories of up gradation aren't necessary. Absence of complain posts itself are success stories. It is acceptable that there are some bugs in "Under Development Technology Area" but a process that is sure to repeat every 6 months should be stable. Are we producing Quantity Or Quality. Is it right to work on the top putting more n more advance stuff when we couldn't keep the foundation Stable. Who will try those awesome features when he's unable to complete the installation peacefully. -- Regards, Mustafa Qasim Lahore, Pakistan Cell: 0321-6614972 URL: <a href="http://www.mustu.info">http://www.mustu.info</a> Registered Linux User# 441709.
