Well, my point in writing "I ask this since I use bopomofo for Chinese and ibus-anthy for Japanese The tray icon for bopomofo is here /usr/share/ibus-libpinyin/icons/ibus-bopomofo.svg and for ibus-anthy it is here /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/ibus-anthy.svg" Was to suggest that maybe ibus does things in a "non-standard" way. At this point I would probably look at the rpm for one of the other input methods, such as ibus-anthy, and check the post-install scripts to see if they update any icon database or cache. Potentially downloading the src rpm to see if there are clues there as well, may be of value. FWIW, ibus also seems to be using Scalable Vector Graphics for their icons.

Same here: jd1008 appears to not have followed the thread, but yes, I (and others discussing this) have all this done but hibernate (sometimes, quite frequently now) fails. The fact that it goes in and comes back sometimes should indicate that this is set correctly.

I guess I will try and get the potions right. Is there any long-term advantage to install on EFI? I do not have Windoze installed and I do no want it on the machine.

Re: Gnome shell high memory usage
> What version of Fedora are you using? F24 x86_64 (clean install). It doesn't use that much memory for me - I have 16 GB, and after a day or so it gets to as high as 2%, restarting gets it down to about 0.8%. I got into the habit when the machine had less memory and it would get up to around 10%. My original post was just to mention restarting, in case the OP was unaware of it - it's easy to do, unlike logging out or rebooting. Even if it used a lot more, I wouldn't bother changing desktops because of it, unless it got wedged somehow if I forgot to restart. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

installing Fedora 24 on (originally) efi systems
Hi, I have an ASUS R503U which originally came with a Windoze8.1 installation. I have no need for it so I scrapped it. I also, consequently have no need for EFI. I was wondering if it is required for me to install Fedora 24 on an EFI system. I can not seem to get out of EFI so maybe what I am looking to do is not possible. Is it possible to do the same in an old grub setup. Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt.

Funnily this is not a problem for the machines where I did not install Fedora 24 from scratch, but upgraded (from Fedora 23), but it may generally also be a consequence of architecture. However, two machines of the same kind (I think Dell Latitude E6400 or so), one installed from scratch and the other upgraded, have dissimilar results, so it is a strange observation. One my Dell XPS 13 which I also upgraded, I also have no issues. I usually: "kill nm-applet" and start "nm-applet" again from the command line, especially if I need to move from one location to another and need to find new wifis (or the need to use vpn connection from NM). Otherwise, I ignore it. Your solution is one command and thus simpler. Thanks again! Best wishes, Ranjan FREE 3D EARTH SCREENSAVER - Watch the Earth right on your desktop!
