On an F8 system that was upgraded from F7, I'm running KDE. I enabled the kde update repository from kde-redhat project http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/ Last week, yum update installed a new package, kdebase-3.5.8-9.fc8. I do not know if that particular package came from the fedora 8 update repository or the kde-redhat system because yum-updatesd grabbed it overnight. Since then, I notice two weird things and need some help. The kicker panel no longer has a battery power indicator. In the list of applets, I don't find one called battery monitor or such. As far as I can tell, that was in kdebase before, but not now. Did it move to a new package? I can confirm that the acpi subsystem of the kernel is working because: $ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/* alarm: 780 mAh present: yes design capacity: 7800 mAh last full capacity: 6959 mAh battery technology: rechargeable design voltage: 11100 mV design capacity warning: 780 mAh design capacity low: 236 mAh capacity granularity 1: 78 mAh capacity granularity 2: 78 mAh model number: DELL YD6236 serial number: 1977 battery type: LION OEM info: SMP present: yes capacity state: ok charging state: charged present rate: 1 mA remaining capacity: 7800 mAh present voltage: 12959 mV The second weird thing is that the key combination Fn-Esc used to cause suspend-to-ram (The Esc key has "Stand by" written in blue, the same color as the Fn key. Know what I mean?) Now it does nothing. I can suspend by clicking the KDE log out button and choosing suspend. But I can't see where Fn-Esc is supposed to be configured. -- Paul E.
