Hardware accel is checked for capabilities to run gnome 3 toys. So far, no virtual system can really pass muster on that. :( I have a Radeon HD 3100 laptop (Toshiba Satellite) that is pretty happy with this.<br><br>Use the netinstall or DVD iso to install to a vm. the live CD, due to space considerations, is limited in the hardware it can work on for the install.<br>

I have been trying to see what I was doing wrong with the
Fed-15-live/install disk. I have gone through installs from the
live media 3 times on virtualBox. Fatal error booting from the
virtual hard drive when the install is over and I reboot. My
install media is an iso of the CD (Not DVD). I cannot emulate
hardware video acceleration even though I checked 3-d video accel on
the settings page for this vm and gave it 128M video ram, so Gnome3
is still falling back to 2.5.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

Ubuntu 11.04. Libreoffice is nice, but Unity isn't doing it
for me on the Ubuntu end. I want to try Gnome 3 to see how it
is, but my only other machine that I have that might support
that is a Macbook Pro. Unfortunately, Virtualbox doesn't seem
to have what it takes to support Gnome3. A good option is to
get Gnome 3 on Ubuntu 11.04. My limited research seems to
head in the million-headaches-to-suffer-through direction.
There is too much other work to be done right now for that.
It'll be far easier to swap in a new hard drive in the new
Toshiba and install Fedora, despite my dislike for RPM. Does
still have the 10 CDs or 2 DVDs download? Since when did
things become so....complicated? My grandfather would
probably start giving his speech about too many cooks in the
kitchen right about now.<br>

<p>Upgrading laptop to fedora 15 and noticed that
openoffice was replaced with libreoffice. Oracle
really pissed off a lot of people.<br>
Also I actually read the fedora docs and realized that
gnome3 effectively requires a two handed user. The
active spot to launch applications requires both alt
key and left mouse simultaneously to use. What was
gnome devel thinking?</p>
