I have a lot of machines running Fedora 8 / KDE and none experience the issue you are talking about. I suspect there is a problem with your installation because that is not an issue with Fedora 8/KDE.
not an issue for you, yet in a couple of past post, i do believe there were comments to similar problems with f8. in 1 box, i have 2 installs of f8 and only difference is with minimal install in that kde locks up and even wedges when it goes to 'crt power down'. many times i have had to use power switch to reboot as reset switch will not work. with fuller install, it is only on an occasion that system will lock up and need a reset switch reboot and seldom i have to power switch it off. both are troublesome when it comes to 'log out'. minimal install will not 'log out' from time to time and <ctrl+alt+bkspc> will not even work and requires a 'kill' from a vterm. a few times i have not been able to switch to a vterm and had reset or power down. with 2 other boxes with f8, kde will occasionally lock up and wedge with reset or power switch to restart. but no where near like it is on this one. on all 3 i have reinstalled several times to clear problem, but to no avail. hardware problem? maybe. but i do not think so because fc6, f8 live installed, f8 fel live installed, mandriva 2k8, knoppix 5, have worked with out problems. a bad dvd burn? not likely as checksum shows burn to be good.
As for the notion of you get what you pay for...this is essentially a

likely to spend much time on a problem that is in F-8 but not in F-9.
i do wish to participate and will when i get to f9. i see no need to bother developers with 'old problems'. they have enough to do with getting f9 working better. my intent is to have a friend with cable internet to burn me a respin of f8 and install it with hopes of getting a better installation. and yes, i have been updating. i do not have all installed as yet, as i am wading thru updates to what i have on system instead of just letting all updates be made. i did not intend to drag this out as far as i have as other post was just to make a comment. and as stated in another post, this thread is kde 3.5 in f10. -- tc,hago. g . in a free world without fences, who needs gates. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
