I noticed awhile ago that there were two different applets for updates and just tried recently to explore them. Before posting questions I clicked on the help button but no help content was provided.

Anyway, right clocking on the orange star allows you to pick up installing security updates automatically which is a decent feature for a wider variety of non-technical users. (nothing, all or security were choices) Are we supposed to have two icons or did something not get removed on my system?

I like the interface for the orange star over the upside down hat. I am just curious.

The orange star is part of PackageKit, it is the default (should be only) package system for F9 now. The other is puplet, part of pirut. You do not need pirut any longer. You should be able to rpm -e pirut. Although system-config-printer depends on system-install-packages and thats being put into PackageKit so it might not remove easily yet.

I disabled the update daemon for pup right now. The newer update mechanisms for PackageKit is a lot nicer to use. As Rahul replied, I might remove pirut since it is no longer the default for FC9.


The kernel breaking poweroff really is a repeat episode from three previous times in the past and is getting a bit tiring to resubmit bugs on the issue. Is this a common problem or did I just get lucky?

My systems seem to work.

I'm currently running 2.6.25-0.113.rc5.git2.fc9
which is the latest kernel that works for poweroff for me. I'll file a bug for later kernels if kernels later than .121 do the same failure on poweroff.


This looks like it will be a good release if the speed improves on load and multiple applets get refined.

Also SEtroubleshooter oes wild on my system and I had to disable it. Once an episode is encountered it should not bring up a balloon for each policy infringement. After several thousand denials the system gets a bit overloaded like a DOS condition. I hope it can be reformed to not put up a balloon with every episode.

With the new version it should have an option to keep the notification from showing when you've got setroubleshoot open already. I haven't checked whether that is in the version in rawhide yet, but John Dennis got that added after an RFE bug I posted for it.


Thanks!
Jim
