  1. [ubuntu] Re: university wifi hell (eastern kentucky university)

    Actually, the problem is entirely licensing, which is an unfortunate but true part of the Ubuntu environment today. However, not all is lost.

    Meeting @ Common Grounds, July 26th 2-4PM

    Hello Kentucky!

    Everyone who is available on the 26th (a Saturday, hurray) should show up at Common Grounds Cafe. Caffeine, chat and get to know the LoCo and the BlueGrass Linux User Group.

    Re: Change "Change Desktop Background"...

    That's really a silly request, we usually reserve environmental variables for significant changes in functionality that can't be done at compile-time or to subvert other run-time procedures. It would...

    [ubuntu] Re: Desktop and home are equal

    Unfortunately, the desktop can still be the home dir (really, any dir), even with that setting set to false. That setting is really superfluous since Nautilus 2.20 or so, as we follow the Base...

    [ubuntu] Re: Nautilus Background Bug

    What I meant is that people who have reported it have commonly had Intel video cards, but it's still probably a problem in the way we're using X somewhere (and there's still a chance it's a video...

    [ubuntu] Re: Nautilus Background Bug

    We have no idea on this one, but we know that it's common to Intel hardware, so it's probably a bug in the way that we're using X somewhere down the line (else it's a driver bug and there's nothing...
  10. [gnome] Re: Altering nautilus 'Create Archive...' behavior

    Can't change it through Nautilus at all ;), it's a Nautilus-extension that file-roller supplies. And you can't change it there without recompiling the file-roller module from source.

    But, OTOH if...
  11. [gnome] Re: gnome-desktop-environment depends on gnome-keyring-manager which doesn't exist

    Seahorse does everything gnome-keyring-manager does, only better, and it does more on top of that (provides encryption/decryption inside of Nautilus through a plugin, as a limited example). This is...

  13. [gnome] Re: since 8.04 no windows share (samba) authentication possible

    It's a GVFS-SMB bug, and it's a known issue, and there's a patch you can try (it hasn't been verified by the author of that backend as he's currently on leave, though). It may solve your issues.

  14. [gnome] Re: gnome-desktop-environment depends on gnome-keyring-manager which doesn't exist

    From my understanding, this is just a problem with the metapackage. gnome-keyring-manager was removed from the desktop set in favor of seahorse, and apparently the metapackage is still listing...

    Yes, with a gconf key (/apps/nautilus/icon_view/thumbnail_size) but it won't help this particular issue. This is a bug in our thumbnailing code since 2.22, and it's a known issue. Normally, we don't...

    If nautilus is already running, you should kill it first (nautilus -q should be sufficient), then you can start debugging it.
