Hello all, I upgraded from FC3 to FC4, wiping everything except for my /home and /usr/local paritions. Ever since the upgrade, I've had stability problems with Gnome, and it's driving me batty. Here's a list of apps that are locking up: - Evolution - Firefox - BMP - Gnome-Terminal - Gnome Panels (can't click any launchers or access the Gnome menu) These were locking up, but haven't in the last couple of days (no idea why): - Volume Applet - Volume Control On top of the lockups, the amount time between them is all over the place. Sometimes, right after I've restarted X, I open Evolution and it locks up within 2 minutes. Other times, it runs happily for hours. The other apps exhibit similar issues. Thinking that perhaps it was a use prefs problem, I backed up my home directory, and deleted my user name. I added myself as a new user again, and selectively moved data into the new home folder. The bits I didn't move were .gconf* and .gnome*. For a little while, this appeared to clear up the issue, but then lockups returned with a vengence. I went through the whole backup/recreate process again. This time, I was even more selective and didn't move over my .evolution folder. I recreated my email accounts, configured my preferences for Evolution, and manually imported all mail. But, the random lockups remain. I'm quite frustrated at the moment because I had a perfectly stable, and excellent FC3 system. I knew that FC4 had issues, but I wasn't aware of any that would overly affect my day to day use of it. Man, was I wrong! Has anyone experienced similar problems? I've seen threads about Firefox lockups and constant panel restarts. But, I haven't noticed anything about the sound apps and Evolution. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone what their experience has been so far. Also, if anyone can provide some suggestions on where I can begin troubleshooting, that would be great. Note: - I haven't seen anything of interest in the logs - the system is up-to-date, as of today - a memory test will be performed shortly (but I doubt there's a hardware problem) Thanks in advance.
