[Bug 330635] Re: Kbibtex hangs and crashes during online search

2009-02-26 Thread Tom Jennings
(15 minutes after that post I realized it was xubuntu). Even after RTFM I cannot puzzle out which KDE services are the problem here. I can say this: kbibtex search works more or less correctly the first few times it is run after boot (possibly after X restart, have not tried that obvious test

Here are all the details in one place. First, you need to enable the evil SHMConfig for the touchpad. xorg.conf below. Restart x. Then -S option (not in the man page for syndaemon, but visible with -h) works. $ syndaemon -i 0.5 -t -S -d works. Section InputDevice Identifier

Cefn, Can you give a more cogent description than 'Applications=Settings=Settings Manager=Sessions and Startup'? My gnome desktop has no 'settings' item in the 'applications' pulldown (oh how I hate gui's sometimes). Is this a setting managed by gnome- settings-daemon? No luck searching for a

Sorry. Forgot to add, rebooted after $ rm -r .gconf* .gnome* All custom settings lost of course (background, fonts, etc), desktop_is_home_dir still unchecked, but nautilus still shows ~/ as desktop. Sorry for the 2nd post. Any workarounds? -- nautilus does not respect desktop_is_home_dir

OK, the redhat folk found a workaround, that is probably a hint for where the bug lies. gconf-editor doesn't change config file which is at ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs edit that, restart nautilus https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=251301 here's mine: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat

Metoo. Hardy Heron 8.04 here, gnome, mtpfs. I have to manually $ mkdir foo ; mtpfs foo then my Creative Zen V mounts OK; single files seem to copy OK but drags of directories in nautilus queue up a lot of data or something (progress thermometer gets to about 30%) then nautilus reports failure
