Re: Are you using LXDE?
by Steven I Usdansky 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

Using it on my Acer Aspire One. I like the fact that it's lighter weight than GNOME, both in terms of disk space and memory usage. I'd really like to see it on a Live CD. The presence of XFCE is irrelevant when running from the Live CD, and removing XFCE has got to be easier than removing GNOME. .

rhythmbox software is lacking
by Aaron Konstam 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

I don't know about F10 and F11 but of F9 rhythmbox is the only CD reading software that refuses to load CD information like a playlist. Can someone explain how to make it work properly.? -- ======================================================================= Don't look now, but the man in the moon is laughing at you. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam(a)sbcglobal.net

Bluetooth rfcomm -- enabling serial stuff for a cell phone
by Jud Craft 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

Hey there. I'm trying to use BitPim for one of my cell phones, but BitPim seems to only work well with COM ports. From an article at Ars Technica [1], I read how to map a Bluetooth channel to a com-port using /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf. (Under Windows the mapping is done automatically, but you must specify it in Linux, I guess). Here's the deal: Bluetooth doesn't map the channel automatically at startup, even though that's the purpose of rfcomm.conf. Ars Technica mentions that in the Bluetooth properties in GNOME, you must check the "Enable Serial" option to activate the rfcomm mappings. However, I know that the Bluetooth stack in GNOME has been changed from Bluez to something new (just the generic gnome-bluetooth, I guess), and it does not provide this option. That article was written before the new Bluetooth stack, so I can't find an option to enable the rfcomm mappings. If I manually issue a command from the console (like "rfcomm connect /dev/rfcomm0 [MAC address of phone] [channel number]") I get a "permission denied", and if I do that as root, BitPim can see it but not use it. So I can't do it on my own manually; the correct workflow and permissions to do it elude me. Does anyone have any ideas? 1. http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2007/12/using-a-bluetooth-phone-wit…

Audio problem in fedora 9
by ADITYA KRISHNAN 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

Hello, I use fedora 9 with 2.6.27.21-78.2.41.fc9.i686 kernel. I have the Intel 82801H (ICH8 family) HD Audio Controller sound card system on my laptop run with the ALSA driver (1.0.17) on f9. The sound works perfectly fine until I hibernate my laptop and turn it on again. On turning my laptop on from the hibernate mode the sound drivers dont seem to work, however, I found that if I switch to a different virtual terminal (ctrl +alt+f1) and then back to the default x window terminal in f9 (alt+ctrl +f7) then magically the sound of the system gets restored back. It seems completely wierd that switching terminals solves the problem. Could some one please enlighten what could be happening and why the sound isnt restored after I hibernate. Thanks. Aditya

OT: Pushing back Time
by Chris 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

Greetings, Every few days to a week I check the project site for the release of 11. It cracks me up to see the days just seem to be counting in the wrong direction. For example, a few days ago it said 7 days. Tonight, we're at 11. Might I suggest the tag line say something like: It will be release when it's released. -- Best regards, Chris () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments "There's no place like 127.0.0.1"

I get the gnome desktop but I am not able to set my keyboard type to Swedish, which is the hw I have. Please advice /Bengt
