Tips and suggestions:* Always shut down your system under software control, rather than using the reset or power buttons. You can shutdown using the GUI edit these pages! Please feel free to fix typos or with the <code>poweroff</code>, <code>reboot</code>, <code>init</code>, or <code>shutdown</code> commands. '''Shut down your virtual machines before shutting down your main system.'''* If you get a message about the gnome-power-manager configuration at the login screen, you may have run out of disk space. Take a look at the available space (with <code>df -h</code>). If the <code>/</code> filesystem is full, delete some files (such as unused VM images in <code>/var/lib/libvirt/images</code>) and then reboot the system.* Fedora 13 Slowdowns: If your system is becoming very slow from time add links to time, it is probably due to a known issue with the Intel video driver, kernel, NICs, storage system, and hardware detection software (!). See [https://bugzilla.redhatadditional resources.com/show_bug.cgi?id=523646 Bug 523646] on the Fedora Bugzilla system. A fix for Please use this problem is apparently in the works -- update your system regularly so that you get the fix as soon as it is availablecapability responsibly.** '''Workaround:''' Type this command as root (be patient, it will take a minute or two for the system to return to normal speed): <code>killall hald devkit-disks-daemon</code>
