Description Jure Repinc 2012-05-19 12:03:34 UTC

Description of problem:
When I boot Fedora 17 Beta from USB key it is loading just fine and then graphics turns on and I can see the KDE's splash screen with icons appearing in the lover left corner of screen. After some time loading the graphics just freezes and only the mouse cursor is moving. Keyboard is also frozen, can't even toggle Num Lock. Four icons are shown in lower left corner and the fith one (bigger KDE logo) is only partially visible. At this point I have to use the reset button on computer to restart machine.

Comment 1 Meister 2012-11-16 20:15:44 UTC

I have kind of the same problem.

I'm new to fedora and just installed Fedora 17 via USB-Live -> Hard disk
everything went fine untill I had to reboot.

Now:
- it boots
- I log in
- after 1-2 minutes everything except the mouse freezes! - everytime!

I found https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=494999 which nearly sounds like this problem, but it didn't help me so far and I'm not able to fix this.

Any ideas?

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-04 04:25:38 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '17'.

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 17'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 17 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  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

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.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-08-01 13:30:47 UTC

Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 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no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 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.
