Hi Leslie Can you break down your problems into bugzilla at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ for tracking purposes, and describe how to reproduce the them. 2008/6/17 Leslie Satenstein <lsatenstein@xxxxxxxxxxxx>: > My configuration: disk1 IDE (Windows XP and PCLINUXOS with multiple > partitions) > disk2 SATA (UBUNTU with multiple partitions) > disk3 Fedora9 64bit LVM > RAM 3 gig > CPU Dual Core intel D930 > My problem system Gnome2.22.2 with Fedora9 (also my preferred Bootable > System). > > 1) > a) When I create a new account (Fedora9 64 bit or even 32bit) with Gnome > version 2.22.2, the desktop is clear, except for the home directory. > If user clicks on Places, and clicks on a unmounted disk partition, the > partition is mounted, and unmounted when user logs off or when an unmount is > requested. This is the normal and expected situation. But when the user > has sudo ability and does a sudo su command a few times, at every logon all > the disk partitions are on the desktop, and do not follow the "new user > logon" functionality. > > b) Given the problem of a) above, if one clicks on Places again, and choses > a drive that is already showing on the desktop, that drive is remounted. > Then, there is no way for the user to exit or shutdown the system normally. > The system message appearing is "unable to unmount the partition". > > c) there does not appear to be a method to restore to the default action > where no disk partitions are mounted at logon time. > > 2) > Occasionally, a successful Gnome logon opens up with an empty desktop. The > drives and everything are mounted, but not visible. The only way to recover > is to have the user logout and log in again. Somehow I think it is a timing > or race condition between Fedora's HAL and Gnome. If HAL is late, gnome > opens the user desktop empty. Perhaps it is just a Gnome problem. How can I > detect this? > > 3) > When the other drives are always showing up on the desktop, and I click on > Places, for any one of "Home folder, to ... Download", instead of opening > the directory to show contents, Gnome starts a music program (XMMS). This is > indicative of a corrupted pointer. No indication given about how to restore > the correct pointer(s). > > 4) > Evolution bug. I cannot copy from an evolution email to an email opened > with Firefox. It just does not paste to Firefox. BUT, if I paste to > OpenOffice or to any text editor, I can then copy from the OpenOffice text > to the Firefox email (My target is from evolution email to Yahoo.com email) > Why do I need to pass via an intermediary? > > 5) > Evolution address / Contacts list has room for 4 addresses. The list ends up > with email addresses that are not available anywhere in the contact > management window. Currently, to fix, I unload the contact list, and with > an editor, I remove the faulty entries, I clear out the entire existing > contact list and reload my corrected version. (export-->correct-->import). > > 6) > This pertains to the Gnome website. I have a Canada French multilingual > keyboard, but my languages are english. When I chose to visit the links for > documentation, all is in French, with no ability to switch languages. I am > advised to visit the firefox settings. The settings show English as > priority. > (This is a web problem, I don't think it is a Gnome problem). > > > Leslie in Montreal > > > _______________________________________________ > gnome-list mailing list > gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list > > _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
