Re: [R] Ubuntu Linux and X11
Good point. But on my systems , the upgrade only affected Emacs which 'looked ugly' but still worked. In other words, nothing failed after the After I updated to Edgy 'convert' of ImageMagick stopped working as well as its 'display' API command and also nedit stopped functioning -- all because of X11 fonts. And in fact, I now recall that I had for while no test in my R plots, I thought some R options were set wrongly. But correcting the paths in xorg.conf solved all these issues.
