This is unfortunately a side effect of a bug in NetworkManager that isn't entirely specific to XFCE. The fix is here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2011-13742 It should be making its way to stable update repos/mirrors soon but if you'd like to side step that you can run the following command: yum -y update NetworkManager --enablerepo=updates-testing You'll likely need a wired connection to pull off the upgrade, or you can sneakernet the packages in the update link. Hope this helps, -AdamM _______________________________________________ xfce mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce
