My Fedora shitware works great... until the 1st time I boot it up :(

"I installed Fedora 16 on a Toshiba A100-LE1 and everything was going

I'm firstly getting a scrambled screen and if I do a Ctrl+Alt+Backspace,
I get it unscrambled, but I can't click anything. It is like it gets
locked up!

Is there anything I can do to fix this?"

The fix? Just keep rebooting and rebooting and rebooting. It may take
4 hours but eventually it will "just work". Trust them.

BWAHAHA!!!!

Too fsckin' funny!



Homer, didn't you work on Fedora 16....

Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux!
What baffles me is why these people, those having problems like
this, keep going at it for weeks?

Ok, so maybe the install went sour. It happens and it can happen
with Windows or OSX as well but once you've tried a different
approach with the same results, why punish yourself?

It's time to move on.

Sure, but the hobbyware didn't say so: "everything was going amazingly
until the initial bootup."

Probably a hardware issue anyway...

Someone else's problem.

Someone that never asked you to speak for them.

Someone that never gave you permission to speak for them.

Someone who's words you are likely misrepresenting.

It's hearsay.

"Altruism" has nothing to do with it.

But I have had several direct experiences with Linux failing to boot
after the supposed successful install. Therefore, not hearsay.

But even if hearsay, so what? You claiming the victim is lying?

It's you shrugging it off because it doesn't affect you.

And advocacy is not technical support, as the trolls well know.

Being an advocate doesn't preclude one from /also/ offering technical
support though ... in the /correct/ forum.

Of course, the trolls are well aware of that too.

But if DooFuS wants to crapflood COLA with technical support issues, he
should have a look here first:

I've told DooFy before, if he wants to play the "problems" game, he's
going to lose badly. Windows lost the technical argument years ago. In
fact it was never even a contender to begin with. All that's left of
Windows "evangelism" is boasting about how much money racketeers extort
from their victims - like that's something any decent human being should
be proud of. To witness such people talk about "altruism" is laughable.

I did whine about them.

The sucky "advocates" on cola ran away or said I was lying.

And I've told you before, you're too stupid to adjust for the number of
users when you start drooling with Google results or problem reports
about Windows.

Windows has approx 90x as many users as Linux, but I have NEVER seen a
problem category in which Windows shows 90x as many Google hits.

Nor have I EVER seen a Windows complaint involving /*6 to 13 major
issues*/ like I've seen in the Ubuntu forums.

Linux just works.

> Windows lost the technical argument years ago.

In your deluded mind.

The primitive, bumbling, amateurish Linux system requires a victim to
spend years learning hundreds of manpages, apps and utilities just to
duplicate the immense functionality found in two point-click Windows tools:

1. Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc)
2. Security Policy Editor (secpol.msc)



Not to mention the hardware system requirements for a modern distro are
nearly identical to Windows 7:

Ubuntu Desktop Edition

* 1 GHz CPU (x86 processor (Pentium 4 or better))
* 1 GiB RAM (system memory)
* 15 GB of hard-drive space (or USB stick, memory card or external
drive but see LiveCD for an alternative approach)


Win 7
* 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
* 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
* 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
* DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver


https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/system-requirements



Then there are the usual user-friendly obstacles that relegate Linux to
hobby status forever:

- any old hackjob "developer" can contribute
- poor documentation
- pre-1.0 releases are sent out for years on end
- 170+ "desktop" distros that have no reason to exits
- distros derived from distros derived from distros derived from distros
derived from distros
- entire distros developed and maintained by anonymous user names
- distros with 6-month fixed date release cycles
- cryptic config text files scattered all over
- no central store for config settings
- case-sensitive file names
- command line absolutely required at some point, and sooner rather than
later
- rude adolescent "community"
- 30 different file systems
- not one good native game
- ridiculously poor audio/video apps
- apps that have to be started from the command line
- learning how to install apps not in the repos
- theftware of ideas from Windows and Mac
- hidden .config folders
- device lists that include extremely obsolete technology
- package managers that give you no install options whatsoever
- majority of desktop users glom onto one distro Ubuntu
- desktop copy/paste gives different file modify dates from command line
copy/paste
- requires much more effort to learn and administer than Windows or Mac


MS is doomed.

The population is much better served by having an /enormous/ ecosystem
of apps, dev tools, games, hardware, 3rd party support, and
documentation for one OS.
