I installed F10 this afternoon as an upgrade from F8 using preupgrade. That process went well.
I ran the F10 KDE Live all morning. I didn't encounter any problems with it, but I have lots of issues with F10 now that I have it installed.
Here is a list of the problems I am having:
1) Evolution is asking for the passwords for all my mail accounts every time I start it. HUGE PAIN. BTW: Evolution uses a new db. It took longer to re index my emails than it did to install F10 !
2) No spell checking in Evolution. Rather spell checking is marking every word as mis spelled. Every word I am typing in this post is underlined in red.
3) The synaptic touch pad configuration tool I had installed in F8 doesn't work in F10. I can't turn the touchpad off on my laptop and every time I brush my sleeve over it, the cursor moves when I don't want it to.
4) Folder view is crashing/freezing my computer and I am getting Plasma errors. Something is messed up.
5) Neither Konqueror nor Firefox nor Opera will view a youtube video due to complaints about needing to install the latest flash plugin. And I already have. Firefox works once in a while.
6) Ark won't extract a single file from an archive.
All this and I've only been using F10 for a couple hours.

What architecture? What version of flash is installed?
What does about:plugins on firefox say about flash? Where is your plugin installed?

$ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Tue Nov 18 12:19:59 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

$ rpm -q flash-plugin flash-plugin-10.0.12.36-release.i386

Firefox is now working.
Where is your plugin installed?
Wherever the rpm puts it...
$ rpm -ql flash-plugin /usr/lib/flash-plugin /usr/lib/flash-plugin/LICENSE /usr/lib/flash-plugin/README /usr/lib/flash-plugin/homecleanup /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flash-plugin/setup /usr/share/doc/flash-plugin-10.0.12.36 /usr/share/doc/flash-plugin-10.0.12.36/readme.txt
Thanks.

Are you using KDE? If so, do "pkill gnome-key" before running Evolution. On startup Evo will just ask - once - for your Gnome keyring password (if different from your login password). It's a PITA but there it is.
I'll give this a try. I'm OK with the keyring password. Putting them in one by one every time I start Evo is a pain... I have 6 email accounts.

See http://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2008-November/msg00135.html (BTW Evo 2.24.2 is available from updates-testing).
Selecting a current language in the email fixed my problem. Thanks for the heads up.

It really bugs me to see this bug, because it was also present during the summer of 2007 and now its back.
Hi,

I had something like this. For me, the solution was a broken "login.keyring" in ".gnome2/keyrings/". After deleting that, I was asked only once and never again after that.
Perhaps that helps?

I fixed this problem by
1) shut down evolution 2) rm ~/.gnome2/keyrings/ 3) pkill gnome-key 4) run evolution
