Fedora 20 shutdown
I have just Fedup'd Fedora 19 to F20 on a Dell 1520 laptop and it works well, took about 4 hours to complete still has the same php error message about /usr/lib64/pdo-mysql.so but all works well. There seems to be no way to shut own the system other than going to a terminal and entering shutdown as root. I vaguely remember other Fedora versions had the same thing and we had to install some app to provide the shut down menu. What is that has to be installed to get a shut down in Fedora 20 please? Why would a shut down or reboot menu be missing? Some folks do still switch off for the night or while they are away. Puzzling.

When another process requires memory in excess of what is immediately available, the unreferenced file(s) in /tmp can be paged out to accommodate the request. If memory pressure is absent, no paging will occur. There is no pressure here. (I only wanted to correct the claim that placing files in /tmp would encumber main memory to the detriment of other processes. That is not so as long as the system can page out unneeded memory.) > Disclaimer: this is not a rant against having /tmp using tmpfs.

Obviously this has somethign to do with the permissions on the .thunderbird folder, but I do not have the knoweldge to rectify the problem. Could somebody kindly nudge me in the right direction? Since fedup doesn't muck with user files, it is doubtful to be a permission issue on your ~/.thunderbird directory. Everything under that directory will be owned by your username. Certainly you can ensure that the files are owned by your username by doing chown -R username:usergroup ~/.thunderbird(using the appropriate values) You'd be much better served to actually post the actual error messages you are getting as opposed to people assuming what you're seeing and then making suggestions based on assumptions that may not be valid. I checked the backup copy I made of .thunderbird before upgrading and the permissions were not the same. I then changed the permissions on the upgraded folder using info found on mozilla forums, etc... with no change. The solution seems to be to delete all the folders, sub-folders, and message filters and rebuild them. I also was extremely pressed for time, and sent in the email extremely quickly before I could include the exact message errors.
