I think it > may be a GTK problem but not sure . . . Could you start it from a terminal and see if there is any output? Error messages, warnings, etc? Further, could you please try and double click and so on to determine if it is either just pretending to be blank (e.g. white/white for everything) or really not showing anything? -- Regards, Olav

Hi, > Name: tortoisehg Relocations: (not relocatable) Could someone please check if the nautilus plugin works or it does not? i cannot see it working, but i'm not a gnome guru so i don't know if it's a package issue or a gnome 3 one. We could consider not to ship it in the case. Thanks in advance, -- Angelo -- Angelo signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

When you start up Evolution you are being told not to use this version for real work. Evolution 3.1.90 worked here and so does 31.91 under KDE -- Thomas

[Mageia-dev] Making the switch . . .
Hello to all - and to all a Hello! After careful consideration, I have chosen to move away from Mandriva (now that I have seen what has happened to 2011) and moving all of my machines over to Mageia!! It just feels right! I have been doing a clean install and updating to Cauldron (was previously using Cooker) I almost have everything working just right - except that I have a problem with the latest Evolution (3.1.91) - which seems to have display problems under KDE (when I start it in GNOME is is fine) Evolution is my main mail client and I can't love without it - but when I start it under KDE, the message list pane is always blank. I think it may be a GTK problem but not sure . . . Any help would be welcome and I look forward to participating on this list like I used to with Cooker . . . Cheers, R.Fox
[Mageia-dev] hplip update in progress - feedback needed
Hello guys, as i'm writing this, hplip-3.11.7 should have been uploaded by the buildsystem. This is quite a big update, as before we had 3.11.3a, and it was necessary to skip one version, as Mandriva already has 3.11.5 and so an upgrade from Mandriva to Mageia will be blocked by hplip, as hplip requires Perl and upgrade will fail. After there is some feedback from cauldron users this will be submitted to Mageia 1 updates_testing, fixing one upgrade blocker from Mandriva. hplip-3.11.7 adds support for these printers: - HP DeskJet 3050A J611 series - HP LaserJet 100 Color MFP M175 - HP LaserJet Professional M1216nfh MFP - HP LaserJet Professional M1219nf MFP and support for the following was added in 3.11.5 - HP Designjet T790ps 24in - HP Designjet T790ps 44in - HP Designjet T1300 Postscript - HP LaserJet M4555 MFP - HP LaserJet Professional m1214nfh MFP It also brings the following significant new features: - Added LEDM ADF Scan support& LEDM Wireless support Full changelog is available upstream: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/release_notes.html Also note there were quite some issues fixed. Please test and report back!
