Installation woes

Mon Jul 8 00:13:41 UTC 2013

Hi Ronnie ,

There are something similar happened at my laptop. What i did is , reboot
the system and enter the command line interface , (i.e  ., runlevel 3,) and
use yum group install  command to install both gnome and KDE desktop
environment , then reboot again , and things go well.

I am not sure whether it is an installation bug or not, but it worth a try.

Best regard,

Qingwei
