Hi, I'm running GNOME as desktop, and my ~/.thumbnails directory increased to 40 Mbyte. Is there a utility to remove unused/unneeded entries? Regards Joachim Backes -- Joachim Backes <joachim.backes(a)rhrk.uni-kl.de> http://www.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~backes

udev messed up again
by Aaron Konstam 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Well I see someone messed up udev again. I can no longer play Audio CDs automagically in F11. No icon shows up when the CD is inserted and no program is launched. I know . File a Bugzilla. Well the last time a Bugzilla was filed on this nothing was done about it but to break the solution that was found by someone who was not developer , I think. Aram Agajanian, correct me if I am wrong. When is this problem going to be dealt with, or has it been dealt with and I missed it? -- ======================================================================= This generation doesn't have emotional baggage.

When will totem play Apple.com/trailers again?
by Andre Costa 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hi, it's been 2 months already[1] since Apple has changed the way they stream trailers from Apple.com/trailers, and ever since totem chokes on it. According to the last comment[2] on that post, this issue has already been fixed on gecko-mediaplayer. Any plans on implementing a similar fix on totem as well, considering it is the default media player plugin shipped by Fedora? For the record: I blame this totally on Apple, and it sucks to play catch up, but it's not the first time this happens, and it won't be the last either... BTW: I know there's a workaround involving wget and a custom user-agent id, but it's somewhat cumbersome, and it's annoying that this is taking so long to be fixed (even considering it's not a totem bug per se).

nautilus-sound-converter in F11
by Ranbir 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hi Everyone, I have nautilus-sound-converter installed so that I may convert selected audio files to a different format from within Nautilus. In this case, I want to convert from flac to mp3. However, the drop down list box doesn't let me choose "mp3" as a format to convert to. If I edit the conversion profiles, I can see "CD Quality, MP3" in the list. The profile is enabled, and I have lame installed (which does the actual conversion). Does anyone know why the MP3 profile isn't available in the drop down list? This used to work very well in F10.

Can't edit text -
by Bob Goodwin 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

I have two completely updated F-11 computers in which the OpenOffice word processor is nearly useless because I can't edit anything? I can open a document and copy it to a new file but it doesn't trust me to change anything, a matter of permissions perhaps but I can't see where to change it. Am I alone in this, can anyone tell me what I need to do? Bob

Fedora PPC for oldworld Mac?
by Tony Nelson 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Does Fedora PPC work / install on oldworld PCI Macs, such as a beige G3 desktop? My impression is not. Otherwise I'm going to try Debian Lenny, which is said to work, but about which I know nothing. (The machine has 416 MB memory and I'll install a 40 GB hard disk for Linux, so other than speed it should be good to go.) -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@georgeanelson.com> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>

Phoronix Test suite in Fedora is too obsolete :(
by Valent Turkovic 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=pts_22_beta1&num=1 Currently there is a Phoronix Test Suite version 2.2 beta. Even if it is in "beta" it is much more usable than current version that is in Fedora repository because the version that is in Fedora repos it so obsolete that most of test suites even fail to download and because of that is is not too useful :( There is a RFE request for update one month old but it got no reply from package maintainer :( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=526852 Cheers! -- pratite me na twitteru - www.twitter.com/valentt http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/ linux, blog, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.
