Description

Here are the results to some additional sanity checks: Runlevel 3: Leaving it in text mode: No problems, screen blanks, any key restores the display. Running X from shell, (i.e. startx) (To Gnome): No problem. Runlevel 5: Leaving it on the GDM Greeter: No problem. Login using KDE: No problem. Login using Gnome: PUKES! Login using Gnome & Logoff to Greeter: No problem. I'm now getting a whiff of rotting F9/10 gnome config files in my home directory. Going to try creating a new account, and see if that makes any difference. Ok... I created a new login account, (& obviously new home directory), logged in, (set screensaver to 1min), after screensaver... I noticed the UPS load dropped down two points. Then the system Crashed. :-( So, it would not appear to be my home directory configuration. It therefore must be what gnome does that's incompatible with my system architecture. Of side note: After these many crashes, there have been several instances of file system corruption. (i.e. Beyond the normally expected simple journal rollbacks.) I'll be happy to help in any way, but I need to figure out a way to just whack power management, so I can walk away from my desk without fear of loss. I guess using KDE will work... 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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 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. |
