power/battery applet shows bad/odd information
I just put in a new battery and charged it. The acpi info (which is correctly displayed by the power applet compared with /proc/acpi/battery is: Acpi Data Design Capacity - 84.2 Current Charge - 88.0 Last Full Charge - 88.5 Now this looks pretty good to me - I have charged it to just over the design capacity and it is at present fully charged: The power applet however has other (odd) ideas and interprets this data as follows: Applet Interpretation Percent Charged - 99.5 Capacity- 0.3% (poor) Huh? -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

If you install the texmaker rpm from the texmaker website - then yum will want to update it - and then the fedora texmaker will want to install fedora texlive ... So if you use the rpm from texmaker - you'll need to exclude texmaker from yum.conf.

Help w. R & texlive install
I'm running F12. I use texlive - however, the fedora version is too old (2007) and since I coordinate with others in writing papers - all of who use texlive 2009 - I have compatibility problems. (e.g. no biblatex, problems with natbib style files etc) So I installed the upstream 2009 texlive - which works perfectly and exactly the same as everyone else! Problem is I also need to install R - it has texlive as a dependency and doesn't see the already installed texlive - what is the right way to install R - but without it dragging in any fedora based texlive ? The only way I could think of was to hand install using rpm all the packages for R and its dependencies with --force but skipping the texlive ones - is there a better way ? thanks gene -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Now - I need to find a clean way - presumably write a short R script - to a) update R itself and all addons b) install a list of addons which are read from a file. Anyone done this already ?

Google mail sent via webmail remains solely within the internal
google mailers ... that is normal - and they dkim sign internal as well
as external bound email.

That is debatable and some say not in clear text. Google does not
show the originating IP in clear text - I cannot say if it is encoded in
some way in the message-id like some webmail clients do.
If the mail is sent using smtp, then indeed the originating IP is
visible.

F12 - nm-applet - enhancement maybe ?
Oftentimes there are mutliple AP's on the same SSID. It can be very useful to see what MAC addess of the AP one is currently connected to - it can also be very usefule to see the strength and info on each AP/MAC for the same SSID. I looked in connection information but did not see the MAC there. Is there a way to see this info in nm-applet or is this somehow available now and I cant see it ? It would be nice if when it shows a list of available SSID's if this could be opened up to show a list of APs available - and of course allow one to choose if one wanted to (like when the one with the strongest signal is somehow broken). thanks. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

pinentry-gtk segfaulting
I use penentry-gtk with gpg-agent. It has been crashing ever since I went from f11 to f12. The passphrase window pops up - soon as i move mouse to be in the window - it tells me in red text 'bad passphrase' .. window flicks and comes up new - then I can type in and all is well. If the mouse is in the popup when it starts there is no crash. Abort was catching these - it stopped aftrer I upgraded to 2.6.32 kernel. /var/log/messages shows this: kernel: pinentry-gtk-2[23746]: segfault at 84 ip 00365b 872a73 sp 7fffcca67be0 error 4 in libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.1800.6[365b80+b6000] kernel: Process 23746(pinentry-gtk-2) has RLIMIT_CORE set to 0 gene/ -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
