Sorry, but after a reboot (and the last update!), again, the numeric pad does not work with nedit,
what ever is the value of mouse key.

AcrobatReader under Fedora26.
by Ger van Dijck
Hi all,
I got a little problem : I did an upgrade Fedora25 to Fedora26.
Everything seems to functionate perfect ; Except one application.
The Acrobatreader does not react anymore and trying to install it with
AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.rpm is not succesfull.
I can open the .pdf files without problems by using p.e. the
documentviewerand other Fedora26 utilities.
Is there a solution for this problem ?
Kind Regards,
Ger van Dijck.

I have seen that occasionally. I'm guessing that it hit a bad server or
a bad connection somehow and retrying it works.

Hi Mike,
You are right, it works, but what the the link between the mouse keys and the numerical pad?

Works just fine for me.
Maybe you need to define "doesn't work".
But, what Rex has said it true and easier. And, the reason the developers made the
changes have nothing to do with "you". :-)

anaconda rpm?
by Tom Horsley
After installing to disk from a fedora 26 workstation live image, I
notice I have anaconda installed.
Can I get rid of that without hurting anything now that I'm
running off disk (I'm guessing it is OK to remove, but
you never know what sort of strange side effects something
might have, so I thought I'd ask :-).

Upgrade path from LXDE to LXQt
by evade.
Hello,
Does anybody know the best way to upgrade from Fedora 25 LXDE to Fedora 26 LXQt? I've not found an upgrade path documented anywhere.
I'm not concerned about leaving configuration data behind, but would like to clean up unnecessary packages after the transition.
Rebuilding with F26 LXQt and restoring from a backup isn't a viable option for me.
(FYI: I recently asked this question in the Fedora lxqt mailing list and while there were two responses, nobody was sure and it was suggested I ask here.)
Thank you,
Evade

nedit
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
In fc26, nedit does not recognize the numeric pad.
Actually, only the "5", "+", "-", "*", "/", is recognize because it does not have
any function in non numeric setting.
I tried different french keyboards setting.

What is this DNF nonsense?
