GNOME 3.24: Update Woes

The first thing I did after that massive update is to reboot. This
should not affect the reboot process but, here goes.

Big sigh of relief. Here's a list of my woes so far:

First, megasync daemon is failing to work / start at login. And starting
the application with the launcher doesn't work either. It looks like it
has problems with openssl / authentication.

Second, screenshot isn't working, at least not the keyboard shortcuts. I
opened the application - screenshot, and it takes pictures of the screen
but it won't work in practice if it doesn't work with the keyboard
shortcuts.

Third, most keyboard shortcuts I tried aren't working. Not the
screenshots, not the Guake terminal i use. Navigation shortcuts are
working though. Could user shortcuts have been reset by the update to
their defaults somehow?

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:
