Comment 1 George Kraft 2007-12-13 14:28:57 UTC
FYI, Ubuntu and Solaris with GNOME 2.20 have a working gnome-at-session.desktop
file.

Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2008-03-31 15:51:25 UTC
Could you please test the packages linked from:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=540004

If the new packages work, I'll file for an update for F8. The problem is already
fixes in rawhide for Fedora 9.

Comment 3 George Kraft 2008-03-31 16:28:59 UTC
I don't see an RPM to download at the URL referenced in comment #2.  Also, when
I click on the login link at Koji then I get an error -12227.

Comment 5 George Kraft 2008-04-01 14:16:03 UTC
I no longer have an Fedora 8 system to test on; however, I did download the RPM
and looked in it to find the previously missing
/usr/share/gnome/autostart/gnome-at-session.desktop is now there.  Thanks.

Comment 6 Fedora Update System 2008-04-01 14:24:04 UTC
control-center-2.20.3-3.fc8 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 8

Comment 7 Fedora Update System 2008-04-09 05:15:47 UTC
control-center-2.20.3-3.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 testing repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

 su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update control-center'.  You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F8/FEDORA-2008-2937

Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 08:58:36 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 8.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '8'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 9 Bug Zapper 2009-01-09 07:55:33 UTC
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
