I was expecting to find separate lists for Piklab and Ktechlab. I created this message from scratch, so I don't know if it will link to the others correctly... I am using Fedora 11: from dmesg: Linux version 2.6.30.10-105.fc11.i586 (mockbuild@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.4.1 20090725 (Red Hat 4.4.1-2) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Thu Dec 24 16:26:26 UTC 2009 I am running gnome, but I have the KDE libraries installed. Do I actually need to be running in KDE to use these packages? I don't know how that will affect other programs I have installed and in use. I understand that KDE is a different desktop manager, and I do know that I can create profiles that will let me use either, but are there issues to having both installed, and running both from the same account? In other words, how big is this can of worms? I have both Ktechlab and piklab installed. I am experiencing the same issues as g. I had lots of personal stuff over the holidays, so I am just getting back to this. I can upgrade to F12 next week, but not before due to issues I am currently working on. For now I can download the FEL live CD and see if that fixes the problems, providing I can use my current user account. Do you and g believe this will fix the issues? I think missing fonts, and library linkages would not normally have OS updates as the solution, although it may be a way to incorporate several issue solutions in a single shot, but I would like to better understand the lower level connections so I can move forward with documenting and fixing the ultimate solution I need.
