Volume up and down work as expected. xev just says nothing while pressing this key. I reported this here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=460564 However, I can't remember if the mute key used to generate an ACPI event or was monitored by thinkpad-keys!? Dear Lenovo T61 users, do you have a working mute key under unstable? I think I saw some lenovo thinkpad acpi discussions on LKML a few days ago involving the mute key. Might be worth looking that up. I know it was sometime in the last 4 days. http://groups.google.ca/group/fa.linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/9336308b2f32816e/fbf3c13bad7f8231?lnk=stq=lenovo+mute+acpi+linux#fbf3c13bad7f8231 I searched for 'lenovo mute acpi linux' on google groups which found it. It appears to be a change in 2.6.23 that causes the problem. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: nvidia-glx not updating

I tried to capture the profile as the default and restarted my normal login... No Improvemnt Well, this tells us that, most likely, the problem doesn't lie with gnome-terminal itself, but rather with some other application that's running in your session. The next step would be to try to log into a failsafe gnome session and see if it works there. That'll just start up gnome with none of your personal settings applied. If it works fine there, then it's time to start really digging. At that point, you can try the strace approach that Jurriaan mentioned and see if it helps. If you have a conflict with another program the strace should show you where the problem lies (if you can read the output that is. It's a bit of an acquired skill...) p.s. I'm subscribed to the list so you don't have to do a Reply To All when responding. As it looks like you're using Evolution you can just do Reply to List (Ctrl+L is the default, I believe), and it will take care of the rest for you. Hi, Alex Tried the failsafe Gnome-Terminal, Terminal is fine when I login as alternate-user, but when I login as myself it continues to fail...8-( Tried the strace procedure the Jurriaan suggested. and the diff returned a null output. so it seems that starting gnome-terminal does not give a traceable error.. unless I screwed up again...8-) I hope I'm not interfering with your day...

Thanks for your efforts and guidance Ok, let's do a quick refresher so I can make sure we're both on the same page here: 1) Launching gnome-terminal through a failsafe xterm session works fine 2) Launching it as a different user in a regular gnome session works fine 3) Launching it as yourself in a regular gnome session or even a failsafe gnome session causes it to fail? 4) Using xterm or any other terminal emulator works fine And of the following, which have you/haven't you done already: 1) Removed all the gnome-terminal gconf settings 2) Done a purge of gnome-terminal followed by a reinstall (apt-get remove --purge gnome-terminal) Now, come to think of it, can you give some more details on what exactly is happening with the window? I know you said you can't close it, but does the terminal work ok otherwise? After you open the terminal, can you actually type commands, get output, etc? Do the drop-down menus at the top work if you click on them? If you click the close button at the top of the window does Gnome give you the force quit dialog? If you can provide a screenshot of the terminal in the hung state that would also be helpful. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY! Encrypted mail preferred.
