Cheese Application Locking Up.
by Randall Berry 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Has anyone been having Cheese lockups under Xfce? Every time I take a picture Cheese locks up. I've noticed this for a while now. It takes the picture and saves it but all the buttons lock up afterward. Even the control buttons in the window are locked. Video still goes on. I've filed a bug[1] but unless they get enough complaints from Xfce users and the problem doesn't happen on gnome they probably won't bother to fix it. So, if you're having the same problem please add your comments to the bug. Thanks... 1) https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710445

media mount point question
by ToddAndMargo 25 Oct '13

Hi All, When you install from the live CD, all your automatic mount points are in /run/media/user A bit of an irritant, as I expect them to be in /media is there a way to move the mount points back to pain old /media ? Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners. They malfunction when you open windows ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Xfce default session workaround
by ToddAndMargo 25 Oct '13

25 Oct '13

Hi All, Scientific Linux 6.4, 64 bit. Xfce 4.8 As I am running several KDE apps. (Krusader, Kompozer, K3B), every so often after an update, I get booted up into KDE (sometimes GNOME). If happened again this morning. Pain in the neck. As Red Hat is dragging the feet fixing the various GDM bugs that cause this, I have developed my own work around in the mean time. If you are having the same issue, I hope this helps you as well: 1) log out of KDE or GNOME desktop. If you are using Automatic log on, cancel it. 2) open an alternate command prompt and log in as root <cltr><alt><f2> 3) # cd /usr/share/xsessons 4) move or rename all desktops, except Xfce's. Note that KDE has two (kde-plasma.desktop kde-plasma-safe.desktop). You should look like this: # ls gnome.desktop.orig kde-plasma.desktop.orig kde-plasma-safe.desktop.orig xfce.desktop Note: I have been known to just delete the .desktops I don't want 5) # reboot -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners.

F19 --> F18 feasible?
by Beartooth 17 Oct '13

17 Oct '13

My old Thinkpad T30 (on which I ran fedup from F18 to F19) is beginning to seem like more effort than it's worth, even if eventual success of the effort were a sure thing. Is there a FedDown lurking out there somewhere? Will an install DVD for F18 (preferably one with gnome as well as xfce4) let me treat the installation as if it were an upgrade, and preserve my data and tweaks? Failing both of the above, does anyone have any experience running CentOS on a T30 or comparable? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
