One day I woke up and had a new kernel.*** There is a dialog to make the facility passive but for some reason, it does not show up when I am logged in as user. I log in as root and there it is. There are two dialogs: (1) show history (2) control packagekit I set mine to "do nothing" so I still get alerts down in the panel! One that day I started getting a dialog after logging in as root saying one should not run packagekit as a privileged user. AND I didn't even ask for it! Recently there was an update to packagekit that reset my settings to automatic...do updates silently...and some stuff sneaked in! I always watch my yum update output -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
