I am running Fedora 11; clean new install on new hard drive. Name : firefox Arch : i586 Version : 3.5.3 Release : 1.fc11 Firefox will not start from the desktop icon but will start from the CLI but only as su. Even then I get the following errors: (firefox:2295): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported. Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.) I tried to follow the gnome url listed in the error but could not find some of the references on my computer. I have performed the following to make sure my system is uptodate: su yum update --enablerepo=rpm*g --enablerepo=u*g --skip-broken -v reboot There are MANY threads on FedorumForum about this with all the same suggestions. I logged this as a bug with Mozilla but they say it isn't and that I need to go back to the packager (fedora). Any suggestions please. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
