I get the same "No volume control elements and/or devices found" after a fresh install, but not after an upgrade from FC3. I have not found the cause yet. -----Original Message----- From: Colin Paul Adams [mailto:colin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 11:05 PM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: Re: FC3->FC4 upgrade hangs whilst installing kernel-smp package >>>>> "Colin" == Colin Paul Adams <colin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> writes: Colin> There WAS a slightly older version of the 2.6.9 smp kernel Colin> installed (two versions in all - no UP kernel), and the FC4 Colin> smp kernel had been written to disk.

So I suspect I shall end up without a 2.6.11 Colin> kernel installed. This indeed seems to have been the case. I was ALMOST able to complete the install. The process hung with remaining time at two minutes, whilst attempting to install (or having just completed) fonts-xorg-truetype. But now I was able to reboot with the FC3 kernel sucessfully, and do an rpm -e nodeps on two kernel-smp packages marked as installed (one was the FC4 kernel, another was an older 2.6.9 kernel) but not physically present. Then I rebooted the FC4 Install option (i.e. I restarted the upgrade process), and kernel-smp, firefox, fonts-xorg-truetype, and a handfull of tiny packages, were all upgraded, and the post-installation now ran sucessfully. So my conclusion from all this, is that before I upgrade my production system, I should ensure that rpm -q kernel-smp shows only one entry, that of the current running kernel. When I login to GNOME, I get a dialog box displaying an error message: No volume control elements and/or <something - I can't read my scribble> found. What does this mean? Is it harmless? How can I make it go away for next time I login? -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list ********** Confidentiality Notice ********** This electronic transmission and any attached documents or other writings are confidential and are for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) identified above.
