From steven at lebruns.com Mon Aug 3 04:56:12 2009 From: steven at lebruns.com (Steven F. LeBrun) Date: Mon, 03 Aug 2009 00:56:12 -0400 Subject: Problem with .gvfs or .gvfs* in Fedora 11 Message-ID: <4A766DEC.1040000@lebruns.com> First, Emacs froze when I tried to list my home directory, then "ls -a" froze from command line. Through trial and error, it appears that there is a file, directory, or special file in my home directory that begins with ".gvfs". Any attempts to list the contents of the directory that should include .gvfs* fails and locks up the program that issued the command; emacs, ls -a in bash shell, etc. The close icon in the upper right hand corner of the frame will cause a pop-dialog to appear that allows the program to be "force quit". Any ideas on how to resolve this problem? Can I safely do a "rm -rf .gvfs*" or will that delete files that my system needs? The command "ls -ad .gvfs*" also locks up which leads me to suspect that .gvfs is a special file, such as a device, instead of a directory. -- Steven F. LeBrun Quote: /"One day a peacock.

Looks like that laptop comes with a gforce 9200M GS and if you are using nvidia drivers from rpmfusion repo and you didn't installed kmod/akmod packages for your kernel the nvidia driver should not be able to run when the kernel upgrades. You should check you have installed these packages in this case: - akmod-nvidia - xorg-x11-drv-nvidia - kmod-nvidia (kmod-nvidia-PAE for PAE kernel) 2009/8/6 wander queiroz > Hi All, > > I have a hp pavilion dv7 and everything was working fine until i upgrade to > kernel 2.6.29.6-213.fc11.x86_64. > Now the system does not boot.

A possible fix is: add "noacpi, acpi=off" to the kernel line in grub. If you don't know how to edit the line in grub, when you chose the kernel to boot:: press 'e', write the things I've mentioned before,save the stuff and then hit 'b' to boot. Hope it will work ;) Valente On Thu, Aug 6, 2009 at 3:00 PM, wander queiroz wrote: > Hi All, > > I have a hp pavilion dv7 and everything was working fine until i upgrade to > kernel 2.6.29.6-213.fc11.x86_64. > Now the system does not boot.
