No desktop
Booting the Live DVD gets me to a blue patterned desktop with no way to interact with the OS. The only options I have are a Right Mouse Click that gets me to Settings, and Ctl+Alt+Del that gives me the option to Restart/Shutdown. There are no icons etc with which to do anything, so how do I use Fedora, or instal it to the hdd, or add programs etc.? I have the latest LIVE version and burned the ISO to disk. I have also used LiveUSB Creator to install the LIVE version to a USB HDD, neither of which get me a usable OS when they are booted.
Does https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeShell/CheatSheet help?
Thank you, that will be useful. Still doesn't help with my problem. When I say there is nothing on the desktop, I mean nothing. No Linux equivalent of the Windows Taskbar or Start Button (I am not expecting a Windows equivalent OS, just saying). No Icons on the desktop. No clickable area around the edges of the screen, No way to use the OS at all except the right-mouse click to shut it down. There is no way to add, or remove anything and no way to start anything. Just a pretty blue background.
Frustrating. Trevor
Okay, I just wanted to make sure the bar on the top was present; it doesn't sound like it. By default, there are no icons on the desktop; you activate the menu by pressing the win key, or moving the mouse to the top left corner (if it's working properly, that is).
fedora 21 is another choice. you can download the beta version now or wait for 20 days and install fedora 21 final ;)
