[Bug 395314] Re: gdm 2.26 appears on wrong monitor

2012-01-08 Thread sanktnelson
How can a bug that was reported almost 3 years ago and affects many people reproducably still exist? Then again, GNOME developers probably consider it a feature. Yet another case of GNOME (and Ubuntu) breaking stuff that worked fine for a decade, and then making a point of not listening to the

I have now given up on using evolutions native caldev and google interfaces. gcaldaemon works great as a workaround and comes with evolution-specific setup instructions: http://gcaldaemon.sourceforge.net/usage16.html The instructions seem a bit complicated at first, but for me it ended up taking a

Didn't try with other calendars than primary, because in addition to refusing to sync for offline use, with caldev I can't even write to the calendar, every attempt at modification results in a "au

Update: It works _only_ with the primary calendar, and _only_ if I give the calendar in evolution the same name as my google login (and primary calendar name). I'm guessing somewhere the code uses "$Calendarname" and it is actually using the evolution name where it should be the evolution one. On

Here's a radical idea: since nobody seems to be doing anything about this, and since I've never had a use for that codec installation thing in _any_ program, I just got rid of it completely: sudo rm /usr/bin/gstreamer-codec-install There. Problem solved. :) -- Rhythmbox keeps trying to install

really annoying. I set rhythmbox to use my standard mp3 directory for its database, since I don't want the files taking up space twice. It asks me several times if it should download codecs while it scans the directory for new files. I can't turn it off and I can't identify the offending files, at
