I used the following to update mutter and clutter to fix the Terminal transparency bug in F15:

sudo yum install fedora-release-rawhide
sudo yum update clutter mutter --enablerepo=rawhide update

And now I can't the Gnome 3 to work. All I get is the wallpaper background the top power bar is gone. Also mouse over to the top right corner will not activate the left icon sidebar or the right workspace sidebar.

I have attempted to remove the previous yum action by:

yum remove fedora-release-rahwide

Which seems to remove the package

and then ran;

yum update

but fedora reports nothing to update.

Has anyone fixed this before?

try this

yum --releasever=15 distro-sync

what happened is the rawhide repo you enabled is for Fedora 17, not Fedora 15. F17 is definitely unstable test code, not even in the alpha test stages yet.

The distro-sync that hadrons suggested is the way to fix it.

And then make certain that the rawhide repo is disabled unless you really wish to break things

Been out of own for 3 days but tonight got back

I tried the suggestion and I got the sync to run, but there was no change in the guy condition and restart.

Thanks though, any other ideas?

When I run the distro-sync yum command I get the following line:

Transaction Check Error:
file /usr/lib/girepository-1.0/Cog-1.0.typelib from install of clutter-1.6.16-1.fc15.i686 conflicts wiht file from package cog1-8.0-1fc17.i686

Do I need to simply erase fc17 version and rerun?
