Three bollocks! Cool! :D :D

The new box may not be configured correctly e.g. the DNS servers may be incorrect and the MTU settings may be wrong. Do you have instructions supplied by your ISP to configure the box or would you...

What did you upgrade re your internet connection?

The command to launch the two applications simultaneously would be...


sh -c "evolution & empathy"

To launch them minimised/iconified is more difficult. You'll have to try cariboo907's link...

Er... isn't that what we have already? :confused:

Speaking as a professional non-technical idiot, I have enjoyed the sometimes frustrating 5 year learning curve it has taken me to get comfortable...

Right-click any avi file. Select Properties. Set vlc in the Open With tab.

I'm not sure if this helps but in Grub Legacy if you booted sdb that would be hd0 and sda would be recognised as hd1.

Gee, you're assuming I'm quite intelligent. ;)

Does Mandriva use Grub Legacy? There's probably a conflict.

Does this help?...

Have you run sudo update-grub? This should find other operating systems and put them in grub.cfg.

Well yes and no. I suspect that IDM gave you the "illusion" that it was downloading at a constant rate. If any of the issues pointed out by lisati cropped up you wouldn't necessarily have got...

There's Drapes available via Synaptic. Once installed run drapes from a Terminal and it will put an icon in the notification area from which you can configure drapes.

Edit... oops, perhaps this...

Wow! you worked out the settings to change in your theme. I'm gonna have a go at that with my Human theme. Thanks. :grin:

Well I'm not sure if I can fathom Microsoft's licensing conditions but I think you have to install Windows 7 by the process mentioned in the link and then you can make a copy of the ISO. Does that...

I'm not sure if there's a definitive list of what goes where but if your /root Home is pristine you could do...

This will give you a list of the basic configuration folders.

Yes, but doesn't the link explain how to make the ISO copy?

Backing up and restoring... such a big subject... so many solutions.

Is it just Firefox with the problem? How does a pdf open from Nautilus?

Right click any pdf document. Select Properties. Choose and/or Add Foxit in the Open With tab.

Edit... Er... I posted while you edited so my post is now irrelevant! :)

This behaviour does depend on your theme.

For example the Human theme always highlights an item in a context menu whereas something like Traditional doesn't. If you don't release the mouse quick...

They won't always appear automatically in the Menus.

If it's a command line application it generally won't appear in the Menu.

Sometimes you have to Log out/Log in or reboot.

You may have to...

Well that's exactly the same as my current "mouseless "xorg.conf so it's not that causing your problem.

Try running without 3D Visual Effects (Compiz) and see if that solves the problem.

I had a similar problem when I had my mouse unnecessarily configured in my xorg.conf file. Please post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
