RE: libdvdcss [quasi OT, quasi not OT]
I don't see where anyone answered youI am wondering the same thing.

I have always religiously installed it. Does this mean that it will no longer be possible to play DVDs in Fedora? I don't rip or copy DVDs, just watch them, so would I actually need libdvdcss? Do other programs now provide the functionality formerly provided by libdvdcss? -- 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 -- 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
RE: F8 vs F9
It sounded like a reasonable question to me. Who knows if this guy is new to this group (or even Linux) but non-friendly answers are a good way to send a newbie packing (and perpetuate the rumor that Linux is non-friendly to a new user). Mike...in the FWIW department, I have F9 running on 12 machines and have had very little trouble.

Script to add launcher to menu panel?
I need language to create a script that will create a launcher on the top GNOME menu panel. I have read a ton of stuff and it seems to do with gconftool-2 but I can't find the exact way to do it. Any ideas? Thanks! Arch -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

in Gnome via right clicking on a menu item and picking Add this
launcher to the panel.
desktop-file-utils-0.15-1.fc9.i386
eg from an rpm spec:
desktop-file-install --vendor fedora \
--dir %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/applications %{SOURCE2}
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Desktop_files
nautilus shows a .desktop file with the icon that it mentions, and
doesn't show the actual extension.
gedit one to see an example
they can be copied where you want eg desktop

Network manager wireless control works great in F9!
I have rarely used network manager in F9 or in previous versions. One of my goals is to get wireless to work with our infrastructure which uses RADIUS and PEAP. Over the last couple of years, I have read and read and tried and tried as I had time to do so but have never been able to get a connection to our wireless. Before last week, I primarily used WiFi radar as the means to connect to a non-secure wireless device but with F9, it got flakier and flakier. I have no idea what made me try it but last week I tried enabling Network manager's control over wireless. In short, it is awesome! Inside our office, it immediately popped up asking for the required credentials and BANG! It connected. Ditto with every wireless hotspot I have tried. Also, it is much easier to explain how to use to an end user than the methods I was using. Ironically, I also dual boot many of these machines and the Network manager means of connection is much easier and more intuitive than the native control offered by XP and/or the utilities that ship with the NICS/laptops (Dell for instance). I have read where many people have had problems with Network manager but I just wanted to say thank you to who ever made it.

Upgrade from F8 to F9 failed with libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I have tried upgrading two different machines from F8 to F9 but both failed. One I tired just upgrading from the DVD and the other I tired the preupgrade route. In each case, the upgrade acts like it worked. Once it was finished and rebooted was were the trouble started. In each case, the gui does not work and almost anything you try to run from the command line gives you this error: There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly. It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is: 2.5.1 (r251:64863, June 15 2008, 23:59:20) [GCC 4.1.2 20070925 (Red Hat 4.1.2-33)] With the first machine, I just did a new install and ignored it but this time I thought I'd like to see if it is fixable. Any ideas? Thanks! Arch -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
