I think that was about the time I discovered K3B or maybe I just downloaded the tarball and installed it. :-) Don't recall, as it has been several years. Just that it annoys me that this sort of thing happens... stuff that *used* to run just fine under normal user accounts gets changed without any fanfare or notification that it now requires special privileges to run. I also made a note of it on the boinc.berkeley.org wiki that someone needs to make this warning and work-around (which they publish as well) more prominent if this sort of thing is going to be going on. I figure it's their product and if they are aware of it and/or endorse the policy, they ought to publicize it. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
