Tim, logging in a console doesn't solve the problem for a standard
user!!! his/her competence should not require these tricks...I am
running Fedora in a semi-production environment where I have
illiterated users
I experienced same problem that Joe Barnett describes very well.
And I did't follow what perry suggested because I had already deleted
the user and recreated him, recovering all data from backup: and I
hope not to have same problems during next upgrades (one is on his
way...)
In any case I am running Nvidia card but with standard driver (I had
not upgraded to close Nvidia drivers), and plenty of space.
I had a similar problem when upgraded from FC5 to FC6 on a standard machine...

Tnx to all
