Re: [Test-Announce] Fedora 22 Alpha Release Candidate 3 (RC3) Available Now!
I don't know how to express correctly in computer English. As I used YUM previously from Fxx to F21, for installation of YUM I went to the software tool in Gnome, put into the search line yum and then install. Afterwards there was an icon YUM amongst all the other application icons, which are displayed, when You hit the Aktivitaeten Button (F22 German language version), and then the icon at the bottom there. I could use this simple way to display the yum menue in the window and in not too complicated cases it was not neccessary to go via command line. In F22 it is not possible even to find YUM in the Gnome Software Tool, but there is Yum (or Yumex, I don't know the difference) as command line tool. -Ursprüngliche Mitteilung- Von: Michael Schwendt mschwe...@gmail.com An: test test@lists.fedoraproject.org Verschickt: Sa, 7 Mrz 2015 6:19 pm Betreff: Re: [Test-Announce] Fedora 22 Alpha Release Candidate 3 (RC3) Available Now!

Right click on the application launcher on the taskbar and select Edit Applications and nothing happens. 2. From the application launcher, go to Applications -- Settings and select Language and you get an indication that something is startingbut nothing happens.
