Description Rolle 2011-11-14 18:46:28 UTC

Description of problem:
The new release Fedora 16 of the Gnome LiveCD (x64) reported, that something going wrong. The only available option is to logout. When I login all works fine. No report to "Something going wrong". With Fedora 15 LiveCD it worked accordingly flawless. No "Something going wrong". Maybe the gfxcard is the reason for this:
Display controller [0380]: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 secondary [Sapphire X550 Silent] [1002:5b73]

In Fedora 15 the Gnome works as expected. But during a lot of working with Gnome sometimes it occurs a bug (reported in #706761).

Maybe it is the same reason for the bugs? Is the graficssystem the resean with the ATI X550 (V370), the fault, or is this live-cd-bug another bug?



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 16 Gnome LiveCD (x64)


How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Computer with ATI X550 (RV370)??
2. Boot Fedora 16 Gnome LiveCD (x64) and wait until the Gnome-Desktop appears.
3. Immediatly the "something going wrong" message appears.
4. Logout
5. Login the "Liveuser" and all is going fine.
  
Actual results:
"something is going wrong" after booting the LiveCD (Gnome-Desktop seems loaded fine in the background)

Expected results:
Gnome desktop load without the "Something going wrong"

Additional info:
Maybe Bug #706761 in combination with ATI X550 (V370) is the same reason for the bug.

This bug happens also on Fedora 17 LiveCD beta. But here I the workaround (Logout
and then Login the "Liveuser" and all is going fine.) doesn't work anymore.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 16:24:18 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '16'.

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 16'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 16 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, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

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 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 20:00:54 UTC

Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 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.
