xdg-open not working for directories
by Suvayu Ali 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

Hi, I am on F14. exo-open or xdg-open keeps opening directories or unknown mime types with evince. Earlier the application associated with application/x-directory was empty; setting it with "xdg-mime default ..." doesn't help in anyway. $ xdg-mime query default application/x-directory Thunar.desktop Can anyone suggest what is wrong? -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.

Terminal is missing its dependencies
by Todd And Margo Chester 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

Hi All, In Scientific Linux 6, Terminal mashes certain letters together. On investigation, I found that Terminal's RPM had no dependencies. I reported this as a bug to Xfce, but they declined it as it is an RPM problem and not theirs. https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7706 Over on the bug, I added a graphic to show the overlap problem: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/attachment.cgi?id=3726 And, if you install nautilus-open-terminal, one of its dependencies solves the Terminal overlap problem. I have documented nautilus-open-terminal's dependencies over on the bug report as well. Would whoever maintains the SL 6 RPM for Terminal please take a look over at the dug and add the proper dependencies into the RPM? Many thanks, -T

In-Reply-To=%3CBANLkTimFzrXU1rPHN%3DYgfkUD%2BVNvcQ3GwA%40mail.gmail.com%3E Hi, It works for me with Thunar. Maybe you broke your configuration. [raphael@lokalhorst /]$ xdg-mime query default application/x-director [raphael@lokalhorst /]$ cd [raphael@lokalhorst ~]$ xdg-open . method return sender=:1.10 -> dest=:1.126 reply_serial=2 [raphael@lokalhorst ~]$ cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 14 (Laughlin) [raphael@lokalhorst ~]$ rpm -q Thunar Thunar-1.0.2-3.fc14.x86_64 > Hi, > > I am on F14. exo-open or xdg-open keeps opening directories or unknown > mime types with evince.

Terminal cursor missing
by Orion Poplawski 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

I'm doing some more testing of the XFCE 4.8 packages in EPEL 6 and have just noticed that I don't have any cursor in the terminal window. If the cursor is over a letter, it gets highlighted (green in my case) but is otherwise invisible. How can I get the block cursor back? Thanks! -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA/CoRA Division FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion(a)cora.nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.cora.nwra.com

Floppy on desktop problem
by Todd And Margo Chester 26 Jun '11

26 Jun '11

Hi All, Apparently SL6 and FC15 do not automatically support floppy drives anymore. (I had to put a "modprobe floppy" in my rc.local to get my /dev/fd0 back.) Problem, my floppy disk still does not show up on my desktop even with the modprobe in the rc.local. How do I get my floppy disk to show up on my desktop again when I insert a disk? Many thanks, -T

Video thumbnails using tumbler-freeworld (Reviewer wanted!)
by Christoph Wickert 25 Jun '11

25 Jun '11

As you might know thumbnails in Thunar are generated with tumbler. The tumbler package in Fedora however cannot include the tumbler-ffmpeg plugin. By popular demand I now rolled an add-on package called tumbler-freeworld. If you are a packager in RPMFusion, please review the package at https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1823 Fedora's Xfce users will appreciate your help. Regards, Christoph

GDM and language selection
by John Obbele 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

Hi everyone, excuse me if the solution was already given but I can't find how to work around GDM non-language selection. F15 common bugs list[0] says to look at System settings > Region & language, but I can't find this menu on XFCE. The trick from the GDM documentation [1] doesn't seem to work. Setting ~/.dmrc to chmod 644 and <<< EOS [Desktop] Session=xfce Language:xx_XX.UTF-8 EOS doesn't have any effect :( [0]: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F15_bugs#Cannot_select_language_or_ke… [1]: http://projects.gnome.org/gdm/docs/2.24/configuration.html#userconfig How do you work around this issue ? regards, /John
