Re: upon starting the desktop, the cursor is an ugly square

I have a similar problem (see Bug 493772).
On my F11b system, with i915 onboard graphics, the cursor
is never visible. It made a graphics install a bit tricky but
most of the install dialogs can be navigated with the TAB key.
I see this message in my dmesg output:
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]

bonjour printer access non-functional in rawhide
by Jack Howarth
Has anyone been able to get rawhide to provide Bonjour printer
access from the printer configuration tool? This was working in F9
but now (with the avahi-tools installed and the mDNS port opened
on the firewall or the firewall completely disabled), shared
Bonjour printers don't appear in the discovered printers of
the printer configuration tool. I am not sure exactly which
component to file a bug report against. I also was puzzled that
cups no longer installs avahi-tools. I filed a bug report about
that in F9 and they changed cups to fixed that issue (which now
seems to be regressed).

Loss of accounts with f11 update
by shmuel siegel
I did a massive (~800mb) yum update last night, apparently in two
stages. My laptop ran out of power in the middle before completing the
transaction. I later ran yum-complete-transaction which removed 173
packages. I know that at least some of this was correct since it removed
old versions of wine and wireshark. Unfortunately, the passwd file seems
to have problems now, the boot process complains that root is an unknown
user. After loading all daemons that will work, the machine becomes
unusable since I don't know any valid login names.
1) - how do I make my laptop usable ( I don't want to reinstall because
I am not sure that I remember how to up broadcom wireless)
2) - what should I look for to help track down the problem

disk order changes?
by Tom Horsley
Anyone know why the ordering of disk devices is apparently
different when booting anaconda kernel? (from F11 beta DVD).
My USB drive becomes /dev/sdb and the 2nd fixed disk winds
up as /dev/sdc.
I know there are no guarantees, but naming removable devices
ahead of fixed devices seems kinda peculiar.
It also caused much confusion when I was trying to do a
hard disk install (which doesn't work even when I get
the names right, but is really broken when I'm telling
it the wrong disk drive for the image :-).

Unable to update Rawhide
by Adam Huffman
At the moment I'm unable to update my Rawhide laptop.
It seems to be an rpm rather than yum problem, because the same thing
happens if I try to update packages manually. Here's a typical attempt
with yum:

updated f11 now running kdm, not gdm?
by Tom Horsley
I installed fedora 11 beta on Friday, and finally got around
to installing the 1.1 gig of available updates today, and the
login screen seems to have switched from using gdm to using
kdm.
Is this a deliberate decision or did some update get carried away?

Fascist sw
by Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX
Okay, but what did the error message say? And what triggered it?
It's really hard to help diagnose a problem if you don't actually
describe the problem - beyond it being "fascist".
-w
The message was insufficient authorization as I reported.
What triggered it was trying to actually install apps
(instead of just selecting them) as I reported.
I reinstalled with today's rawhide. The keystroke beeping
is gone. I was able to install apps.
