I started with an evolution configuration error, and now a Firefox/Mozilla configuration error, so it appears to me that this might be a system level error. Maybe some file or directory permissions issue, or perhaps a generic configuration error. I tried using the Firefox ProfileManager to create a new profile, but that lost me all my bookmarks, as well as not changing a problem getting my home page to load at startup, in spite of that being the selection on the preferences page, even after creating a new user profile with the profile manager. Java won't run, even after reloading from the software add/remove manager. Next I went to the Java website to get the new package, and retrieved the jre-6u23-linux-x64-rpm.bin file. when I attempted to source that file I get: $ ./j*bin Unpacking... Checksumming... Extracting... UnZipSFX 5.50 of 17 February 2002, by Info-ZIP (Zip-Bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx). replace jre-6u23-linux-amd64.rpm? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename: y inflating: jre-6u23-linux-amd64.rpm error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock (Permission denied) but the file appears to uncompress and be present as: jre-6u23-linux-x64-rpm but I am unsure of loading it with the prior error in existence. There may be other configuration issues as well, that I just haven't stumbled onto the situation where they will show up yet. Is anyone else having these kinds of problems? I haven't had this much difficulty since maybe my first Fedora installation. I know that this is all 64 bit, and that there may be some teething issues for me, but these kinds of errors, and the issues of moving all the configurations under a new umbrella with little background on why, where, premissions, access, and guidance doesn't give me much to go on. I know just enough to be dangerous, and apparently not enough to be able to find and fix the problems. Any further help would be appreciated.
