Re: F7 aarrghh : how get gnome back?
Beartooth wrote: I have an oldish (four or five year) machine, which I thought had major mechanical failure -- it would boot from any live CD, but not from the hard drive. Then a young friend who speaks hardware came and ran tests on it. He concluded that it just wasn't up to F9. So I DBANned it, and installed F7 from a live CD I still had. I've been tweaking the install with pirut -- and frequent reboots to be sure I hadn't broken anything. On the last one, logging in as user, I decided to make sure it not only brought up Gnome, but had Gnome as the default session. I got a little hasty and careless, hitting enter to soon -- and *very* inadvertently made the default session KDE, which I happen to be intensely allergic to. I can't remember the exact name of the app that lets you change -- and KDE is acting as if Gnome either didn't exist, or were taboo. What do I do to get Gnome back onto the login session menu?? switchdesk? Get it from yum.

I thought this thread was dead and deleted all the messages. I could resurrect them from the archives if I had anything to contribute I suppose but ... I messed around with whatever applications are available for F8 from a desktop computer until I somehow destroyed the the Magellan 3100 GPS. I thought I was being careful but it turned into an idiot and refused to boot beyond the opening screen. I tried the reset button on the gps to no avail, if anything that made it worse. My daughter returned it to where she bought it last Christmas and exchanged it for a newer model [Magellan 3225] which I have not had the courage to fool with. It works fine out of the box. I could try the provided software with a Windows computer but have not done so. I believe I saw some sort of back-up function which might permit restoring it to operation if used? I thought it would be convenient to set a destination address from my desktop before leaving rather than mess with the touchscreen, that's about all, that and curiosity 'cause it was there and came with a usb cable. There's a user manual at [from Google]: http://www.magellangps.com/assets/manuals/Maestro_3100_Manual_EN.pdf which I found of little value.

No need to do anything drastic. gpsbabel is simple, command-line, and can't possibly do any harm to it. what gps are you using gpsbabel with? A simple Garmin eTrex H, but I know the same program is used for very many gps systems, not only Garmin ones. Anne Perhaps I will work up courage and try it again. I don't think I did anything that would account for the problems I had but it became erratic in operation, I pressed the little reset button and then after that it would bring up the initial screen , sit for a moment and then reboot itself.

Removing and reinstalling a package rarely has any effect on Linux (barring dependancy issues), since any personal configuration options you changed are stored in your own home directory.

No matter what I do I can't get this to look like a normal plain text message! I've set Options Format Plain text Only on this one.

Earlier I would try to delete mail and it would do nothing until I stopped and restarted Thunderbird, it is not doing that now. Other times Thunderbird would just stop responding to commands at all and I would have to do xkill and then remove a lock file to restore operation. So far none of that has occurred.

F8 and a GPS -
I have a Magellan 3100 GPS device that came with a USB cable and a collection of Windows software on a CD. Is there an application for F8 that will permit me to communicate with it. At first I thought I would just plug it in and extract coordinate information for my present position but it's not that easy. It would be even more convenient if I could list a destination address from the computer keyboard instead of using the little touch screen which doesn't really seem designed for normal human sized finger tips. It does show up on my XFCE desk top when plugged in and I can list some files, none of which seem to be usable in Linux. Can I do anything with it via Linux?

Pretty please. My interest in this project is pretty casual and if it requires Wine or Windows software I wont bother. This computer will boot Windows XP but hasn't done so in a long while and I have never tried it with the GPS.

How to show password at boot -
I boot my computer every morning usually before 04:00. The room is dark, the only other critters present are two large dogs who have little interest in what I do here. I've been doing this for more than ten years and have never had anyone in the room when I enter the password, much less looking over my shoulder. I rarely make an error but it would be reassuring if the password would be displayed rather than just a blank line on the plain text screen that I prefer. Is there a way to display the password? How can I change that? This is F8 up to date ... Upgraded from F7. Thanks.
