I'm new to gnome-list so hello everybody. I'm from Hungary and working as a young doctor and of course I like Linux. I've recently replaced the OS on our computer of the doctors' room to a Hungarian Linux distribution called UHU-Linux, which is a Gnome-based distro (2.8.3 I think). I try to write briefly the problem: - when a user put an audio CD in the CDROM an icon called Audio CD appears on the Desktop (thanks to the hal integration) - if the user clicks on the icon Nautilus brings up a cdda:/// location showing the music files of the CD - sometimes clicking on these musics causes the gnome-panel to crash and after a loop starts: it crashes again and again and can't be repaired I know - or think - that this can be the distro's bug either (and I think it has something to do with the Notification area) but here's what I would like to ask on this list: This cdda:/// location is rather useless for us because gnome-cd-player handles the audio cds automatically and fine but the appearing icon of Audio CD causes some curious users to click on it and gives the opportunity to trash the system due to the described mediocre bug. So our heart wouldn't be broken if either 1. the Audio CD wouldn't appear on the Desktop at all (while pendrives, Data CDs etc would still do) or 2. Nautilus wouldn't handle the audio CDs with the cdda:/// location. This way users couldn't click on the system-killing WAV files. By the way I'm very curious about what one can do if the gnome-panel crashes and enters in an unfixable endless crash-restart loop. I could manage such crashes ocassionally with different version of Gnome/Linux distros but couldn't recover from it. The only way to fix the system which I know is to create a whole new user and set up all of the applications again. Because of this I thought that the origin of the panel crash is somewhere inside of the user's home directory. So I've already tried to delete/move the affected user's directories containing .gnome settings. But even deleting all of the gnome dirs from home (e.g .gconf .gnome2 .metacity .nautilus etc etc) couldn't fix the broken panel. Only starting over again with another newly created user... So does anybody here know what to do with a broken and continously restarting panel? _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
