fedup My Way To Fedora 22

Fedora 22 was released May 26th. You can get the torrent here. It's my preferred method of getting the ISO image of the distro I want to install. If you want to install it "fresh" then create a USB image you can use to install fedora.

I am running Fedora 21 right now and it happens that fedora has an official upgrade tool called fedup. Install fedup by:
#yum install fedup

I'm using fedup for the first time since using Fedora Core. So I started by:
#yum update fedup fedora-release
to update the existing system.

Then start fedup by:
#fedup --network 22
which tells fedup to create the necessary repo links to fedora 22 and the boot image.

What's so special about my case is that my Internet connectivity is limited by a data cap. I know that I won't be able to run fedup in one sitting. So I had to stop the upgrade process along the way and continue the next day. fedup is happening in the terminal. So just stop the process and fedup remembers where to continue.

So far no glitches, no problems in the logs.

Appindicator In Natty Ubuntu 11.04

Previously ranted about the blind alley Ubuntu 11.04 seemed to be leading us when it comes to some applications not being ready yet for the dropping of system tray. What I should have done is press on. There are posts about editing a white list with a recommended GUI tool to help us out here , here and here . Like everything in Linux, there's a configuration file for it, if you can find it and if you have the inclination to go ninja. If not then there's dconf-editor. Download dconf-tools from Software Center. Navigate to desktop>unity>panel. Add your application in the white list. Then close the window. No save button. mmm. So far I have added Shutter, Dropbox and Keepassx in the white list. Before... After.

Evolution Mail on GNOME 3.26

There's a slight change in the user interface. A To Do column now appears to the rightmost after the GNOME 3.26 update. Also there's a noticeable stability increase, what with goa-daemon stopping its RAM usage creep. I don't have to kill it every couple of hours.

New Converge ICT Plan Max with Sky Now

I pulled the trigger on Converge Max plan 400Mbps with Sky channels. I went to their sales office and asked for the upgrade. No charge at all and they didn't ask me to return the old modem. It looks like they will pull it when they install the new modem.e It came with a black box for the TV. The configuration is easy but it took me 3 days to figure out the Wired connection. It should be fine except I have to jiggle it in the config (GUI). Turn 802.1x on and off to finally connect. Here's the speed for the Wired connection:
