Stories similar to fedora 17 hangs on login screen

Hi,

I hand an older version of Fedora (FC 14) on one of my machines, which works fine. I installed a newer graphics card (Nvidia 660 TI) and Fedora won't boot. The boot process gets as far as the blue/white status bar along the bottom of the screen, which finishes, but from then on nothing happens.

Hello!

I have Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation and Fedora 17, both OS are 64 bit, on dual boot. Windows and Fedora work OK, with one problem - i can not shotdown computer from Windows. When i hit Shutdown, computer begin shutdown, but there is no shutdown, only return me on windows login screen. Restart is OK, shutdown from Fedora also OK.

This problem only appears on dual boot Win8 - Fedo

Hi all,

I'm currently dual booting Fedora and Win XP and my computer is right on the edge of my wireless network. I'm typing this from XP because while Fedora can see the wireless and can connect to it the speeds are so low that I can barely get to Google, let alone browse the internet or god forbid download a file. XP on the other hand can browse just fine.

Help ATI Drivers on F12 3 years 18 weeks ago

Hi guys

I need quick help! I installed the ATI Driver Package following this guide: http://gofedora.com/how-to-install-a...ers-fedora-11/

I bought a new nVidia card, to replace my old nVidia card, and put it in my computer. Now when I boot Fedora 13 it doesnt give any errors but just hangs at boot. (I dont think it finishes the boot process either)

Does anybody know of a solution to this problem or what the problem could be?

I just installed Fedora as a dual-boot (other OS in Win7) on my Dell Inspiron 1750 and, of course, the wireless card is missing firmware.

The wireless card is called Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN mini-card. When I run lspci on Fedora it says that the card is a BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01).
