Dolphin can remember settings for each folder. It can also be set in a mode where it sets common properties for all folders. You can choose the later option, and then set view properties of a folder to 'details' from toolbar. Close dolphin and next time when you open it, it will open in 'details' mode. I guess this is what you are looking for.

So for a little more explanation, say you have a directory tree /database, and you want to sync only the files that were changed in the last ten days. You should be able to do something like the following: rsync -av REMOTEHOST:'$(find /database -ctime -10)' /local/database/mirror which would be about the same as rsync -av REMOTEHOST:'$(find /database -not -ctime +10)' /local/database/mirror The difference between using find's ctime and mtime options: mtime will only change if the actual file data has changed, whereas ctime includes both file data and metadata--permissions, ownership info, file name, etc. Hope that helps! -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
Firefox croaks trying to launch evince
For some reasons Firefox can't open .pdf files by default on one of my machines. On the first machine, after clicking on a PDF file, Firefox pops up the usual "What should Firefox do with this file?" dialog, with "Open with: Document Viewer (default)" setting. Clicking OK downloads the PDF file, then opens it inside Firefox's window. On another machine, after doing the same thing, Firefox downloads the PDF file, the croaks with this error dialog: "/tmp/ could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences". I can manually open /tmp, and launch the PDF file, which opens in evince normally.

There's a good deal of overlap, in that they are both oriented to marking up documents according to high-level elements (paragraphs, lists, headers, figures etc.) and leaving the final appearance to a compiler. LaTeX (and TeX) are focussed on high-quality printing. Docbook is an SGML style that allows variant versions of documents for different output media (e.g. printed versus Web page). Both are cross-platform. IMHO in Linux LaTeX is more mature and probably better supported by editing tools, while SGML editing can still be a bit painful. Of course you can also generate LaTeX output from a Docbook source file. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Here's some reasons for either: The DVD gives you a disc that you can do a very full installation from, the live CD is a smaller disc, so will come with less to install from the disc. The DVD is a larger initial download, but both will require updates to be run, post installation. You'd be downloading more updates for a bigger initial installation, than a smaller one. You may as well download a smaller install set, and update less, then do installations of extra stuff from the net, with the newest versions, rather than install and update the same software. You'll be downloading those extras just once, not twice, that way. The DVD can be faster to install from, simply due to data transfer rate from the medium. It might spin slower, but more data comes off it during the spin than a CD. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ uname -r 2.6.26.6-79.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

knotes on KDE not start automatically
Hi all, I used knotes on fedora 8 (kde 3.x) and everytime I started the desktop, knotes started, with all my notes on the desk. Now I installed fedora 9 and KDE 4.1 I copied all my notes on the new system, and started knotes. Everything was ok, but knotes doesn't start at DKE start. Other applications starts (pidgin and Kgpg for example). Someone known how to make knotes startable at KDE start? I think there is a way (like autostart), but I would like to know if it is the only way to obtain knotes started.

How about the other way around? What if you want to, say translate unicode characters to english? I have song files that have unicode characters and some for which I have no idea what it is supposed to represent. For example, some song files have this image of a box with binary numbers in them, supposedly a unicode character, and I thought of simply deleting them, but I'd like to know what they really are and if they can be translated into english?

In that case I'm non-plussed. When you click on an attachment in TBird, my asumption is that it would be saved as a file in /tmp and OO would then be opened with that name. Perhaps if you post the name OO is trying to open, copied from the error dialog, someone might be able to decipher what's going on. Plus the "proper" filename of course. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

He doesn't have the X-Fi cards, but has been working with folks that do have them, and have been acting as testers for various patches that Takashi has suggested as trials for resolving problems with the card. All in all there has been much success in getting the X-Fi cards to work. The thread on the alsa development list started on 2008-10-11 (probably before that). See link below to access the alsa development archives. http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel You have to wonder if Creative folks have been viewing the posts to the alsa-devel list, and because of what they've seen there, have decided to release the driver, along with the source code.

You are stuck with LVM, but you still should be able to set up for a dual boot. Problem 1 is /dev/sda1 is set up as your /boot partition. You will probably need to share this which means some manual editing of /boot/grub/grub.conf. Resizing of an LVM logical partition can be accomplished via the system-config-lvm graphical LVM utility. Or you can use the nonm-graphical commands, such as resize2fs and lvm.
