I tried to follow the perfect Desktop howto. I used System>Admin>Add/Rem and checked off the list down to Scribus. It did the usual when adding new programs up until reboot. It does seem the programs installed ok, I opened a couple and they seem to work. Now I have no network devices (wired and wireless were both working before the download) When I open a terminal all I see is bash: /etc/bashrc: Permission denied bash-3.2$ If I su it no longer accepts my root password. CAD no longer brings up the quit/reboot panel. When I open System>Admin>Network I get Errno17 File exists:'///etc/sysconfig Errno 20 Not a directory:'///etc/sysconfig/networking/' Errno 20 Not a Directory:'///etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/' Errno 20 Not a directory:'///etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/' Errno 20 Not a directory:'///etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/' Errno 20 Not a directory:'///etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles//default' Error linking //etc/hosts to //etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/hosts:Err 20 Not a Directory Error linking //etc/resolv.conf to //etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles//default/resolv.conf: Errno 20 Not a Directory Then Network Configuration opens with no devices present (used to have etho-0, etho-1, wlan-0) When I reboot I get a freeze, mouse clicks don't do anything (have to magic key to reboot). or When I reboot it works (except the network, terminal, su stuff). I sure could use some help in fixing this. My tech level is to reload Fedora 10 and start all over, but I'd rather not if there is a way to fix this. Dell D630 Fedora-10 x86-64 BC 4312 wireless with BC firmware installed compiz-fusion installed gnucash and OOO installed Thanks for any help, Dave
What exactly did you do before you started getting errors? Was it something on the command line or in the GUI?
Hey Falko, thanks for the reply. I used the Fedora GUI package installer. I started at the top of the list and searched for each package and checked all that applied down to Scribus (just part of the list). Then clicked apply. On an attempt prior to this I had tried to do the same with all the packages on the list at one time. That did not work, but did not leave me with these goofs. ie I still had network, terminal etc. Dave
That's strange. What you can try is install the packages from the command line: Code: yum install package1 package2...
Ok here is todays events. Boot and login: OK, gnome looks and acts Ok except no network Terminal opens with: bash: //etc/bashrc: permission denied bash-3.2$ I enter su and pw bash: /etc/bashrc: Invalid argument I enter cd ~root bash-3.2# I enter ls anaconda-ks.cfg It allows me to open anaconda-ks.cfg with gedit (I didn't change anything because I don't understand most of it) If I go Places>Computer>Filesystem the GUI shows the typical file structure I'm used to seeing except Desktop is empty (although my desktop shows Computer, my Home, Trash and 2 files I have on the DT Root is empty (I don';t remember root being empty) CAD works now I hope something here helps, thanks Dave
Not really, I have no network devices and can't install them through methods I know. At this time I'm going to reinstall fedora-10 and start over. Thanks, Dave
Sorry to be so confusing Falko. Everything was working fine before trying to install the packages for the perfect desktop. After trying to install, I lost all network connections both wireless and wired. I have reinstalled Fedora-10, and my broadcom firmware (tonight). I'm going to try to install the individual packages that you've suggested using the GUI package installer.
