Re: Fedora 12 Extremely Unstable
I reinstalled Fedora, and also checked the cd I installed from to see if that would fix the problem. I believe the issues I had previously may have been caused by putting /home on its own lvm, which I did not do when I reinstalled. I wanted to do this so I could install future releases without having to erase the home folder. Unfortunately, I don't have the time continue to reinstall Fedora over and over to confirm that putting /home on its own lvm is the source of the issue, but maybe someone else can replicate this? Before reinstalling, the programs that crashed when I tried to edit their preferences were all of the ones I tried: Thunderbird, Empathy, and Mozilla. The automatic bug reporting tool crashed the system when trying to report some of the bugs too. The system was fully update when I was experiencing the crashes. Reinstalling solved all of my problems except one. Keyboard shortcuts are still not saved. However, this issue is trivial compared to the frequent crashes I was experiencing before. Brad.

I'd be awfully surprised if this were the root cause. The suggestion to run the failing application from a console, and look for errors on the console and the X log, sounds like the best plan of attack to me.

Hm, odd. -Eric I just got keyboard shortcuts to work by enabling compiz. Compiz was disabled by default. Brad.

Re: fedora 11 worst then ever release
I wouldn't say Fedora 11 is that bad, but it has certainly has been problematic for me as well. I have to agree with Alan Cox that all of your issues were caused by preupgrade. The best thing to do is to create a separate partition for your home folder, then replace the operating system for new releases, and redirect Fedora to where your home folder is in fstab. However, I unfortunately have to say that since Fedora 9, user experience has been decreasing for me. Installing Fedora was a nightmare since trying to do anything other than replace the existing Linux Partition caused anaconda to crash, connecting to computers across my internal home network is precarious, and multimedia support is the worst I've ever seen it. I'd rather see nothing but a significant increase in reliability in F12 than to see any new features at all.
