Hello,
With the latest Firefox (3.5) with closed Nvidia drivers providing
libGL, Firefox (or something) segfaults whenever you try to fullscreen
a flash video (try youtube).
Searching around, I've found a fix: simply export this in your environment:
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1

Well, as a slight hack, consider using sudo -u or similar to run a
command as a specified user. You may also be interested in setting
DISPLAY=:0 if its a graphical program that requires X.

Was it a warning or an error? If it was just a warning and thunar did
the right thing regardless, it sounds like it's a missing optdepends
as you say. If it actually stopped working or was hindered in some

I think I might have mentioned this to you before, but if you think
your boot speed is fast compared with SUSE now, put some @s in front
of some of the things in your boot process. Try:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network hal @sshd @crond @avahi-daemon @mysqld @samba
@sensors kdm3)
Note:
- I removed netf
es us feel good answering questions anyway ;)

Don't put "dbus" in your DAEMONS, hal starts dbus for you.

for the presence o

in there also.
If you want to have "the same settings" in both cases, just have your
.bashrc source your .bash_profile.

So this explains the reporter mishaps perfectly then. They take your
e-mails, freely change them, and then write their articles :)

I've personally found yaourt kind of sketchy, but perhaps others' milage varies.
