Does anyone know which component of the GNOME desktop is responsible for interpreting the media buttons on my keyboard? I would like to run this component in KDE, because KDE doesn't handle the media buttons correctly. I am not talking about the icon in the system tray.

I recently upgraded from 11.3 to 11.4 using the "zypper dup"-method, because I have made good experiences with that approach with my last upgrade. However I have some strange visual artifacts throughout the system now. When a button is in its pushed state, then at the left and top edge, where normally a drop-shadow would be drawn, is a white bar, as shown in the picture below.This also applies to progress-bars (for example when starting eclipse but also for all other applications)Also the systems feels slower than usual when switching between applications. Can't tell if this is important, but I have a Nvidia Quadro NVS 160M graphics card with the latest driver (version 260.19.44).

I just installed Ubuntu Ultimate, and I found a theme I really liked that goes by the name "Azenis". However, I like the button arrangement on the default theme. Is there anyway to get the buttons on the left side of the screen, but still keeping the same look? I uploaded two screenshots just in case there is any confusion on the topic. (The blueish theme is Azenis, the default looking one is well, the default theme.)

Now everything works perfect in Gnome, but when I switch to KDE, the 3 audio buttons don't work. I can't seem to figure out why and get them working. Does anyone have a solution for this? Again, they work in GNOME but not KDE.

There is a question about this in this thread but the thread title did not have any of the above words in it and since most "new" folks don't think to use the "posts" option, I thought I'd make a new titled post.
This seems to be a big irritant of a lot of people around the net with Gnome 3 so I'm going to confirm what other people have said about how to fix the situation.
In "add software" enter this search term:
gconf
You will see quite a few returns, you should click the following:
A process-transparent configuration system (G Conf1-2.3 yada yada)
Graphical Gconf untilities (it may be pulled with the above however).
Install it/them.
One can then type "Gconf2" in terminal and it will open but then close when the terminal is closed, or one can go to activities/applications/tweak advanced settings( the symbol will be the same as for settings in Gnome 3).
In the "Shell" button one will see "Arrangement of buttons on the title bar". Surprisingly, "All" will already be apparent. One need merely verify that it is on "all".
Close gconf.
Nothing will have happened in terms of new buttons even if one closes and opens, say FireFox.
Then reboot.
After the reboot, all three buttons will be present.
There are not a LOT of configuration items in gconf2 but this one seems to be of paramount importance to a lot of people.
One can also do it from command line, and if someone wants to post that please feel free it won't hurt my feelings.
Debian Squeeze 6.0.0 on a Thinkpad T43, sound volume is not synchronized between the laptop volume buttons and GNOME's Volume Applet. So if I turn the volume all the way down with the physical buttons, the volume applet may still indicate 75%.I did not have this problem in Debian Lenny. Pressing the volume buttons used to show a volume bar on the screen, as did pressing the mute button.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm running SuSE 11.2 and I have Xine, Kaffeine, and Media Player. They can play DVD's (I got the libdvd packages from the repositories recommended by Novell on their page). However, Xine (and therefore SeaMonkey and FireFox) cannot handle .avi's. What codec handles it? I was sure that I got them all (win32codecs). My previous SuSE version was 10.0 and it played .avi's fine. The version of Xine that I installed was not from the pacman repository and when I just tried the "Switch version" (as shown here: ImageBam - Fast, Free Image Hosting and Photo Sharing) Yast gave me all sorts of error messages such as Mozilla XUL runner being broken. I of course don't want my packages broken.
My other media packages are K3B, Kino, Amarok, XMMS, Audacity, and Audacious. So if I had to switch these to a certain repository, it might end up being a nightmare for this total n00b.
I usually use VLC because of its reliability.
Today, I need to play some WAV files. But VLC plays the WAV files silently.
Gnome Media Player also plays them silently.
Movie Player, on the other hand, plays them correctly.
how to get VLC to play WAV files?
in Gnome, every applet has an ugly handle to its left, some themes have it more ugly than others.Where can I find an option to disable the handles? in the theme rc file? if so, where exactly?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure if this is a Linux standard, but I've always understood that Linux restricts usage of ports below 1025 to root-user only. My question is why was this method developed?My theory is that it's to reduce the possibilty users who may not be as knowledgable with Linux from getting hacked. This is probably wrong though as ports 1025-66535 are available to any program as any user.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out how Make handles directories.
How can I modify this makefile so it will put all of the .o files in a separate build directory?
Code:
But make ignores this and still puts main.o in the base directory. And if I refer to the build directory in the dependencies for bandit, make complains about "no rule ..."
I want to keep main.cpp in the base directory, all other sources in the src directory, and all object files in the build directory.
Overnight, I upgraded from KDE 4.5.1 to 4.6.3 and had a rude awakening this morning when I found that KDE had managed to, once again, break the Task Manager "force rows" behavior which had been fixed a few major releases ago. I found this lovely patch that had been applied:
[URL]
And thus broken the functionality, and I want to recompile that particular plasmoid with the patch removed. However, I am completely unfamiliar with CMake or building anything at all, for that matter. All my programming is done in PHP which means I'm pretty much completely lost. I'm in the midst of pulling down the kde-workspace tree with git, and already downloaded and modified a separate copy of the file in question to look the way it is supposed to. I don't want to rebuild all of KDE, just the one module.
I am a bit confused with MPM. I read one the article here: [URL]. Still have few very basic doubts:
1. What exactly is a MPM, a module has a specific function to do whats the specific function of MPM?
2. What are the "multi processes" it handles? Is it connections?
Quoting from the articles:
"The main difference between MPMs and normal modules is that only one of the former can be used and multiple ones can be loaded in the latter".
3. There are multiple MPM but aren't they operate differently and may cause conflict when more than one is loaded and operating?
I am really looking for concept of MPM
I just bought a new hard drive so that I could convert my XP-only machine into an XP-Ubuntu-Windows 7 triple boot machine.Since the drive is absurdly huge (1 TB) I wouldn't mind throwing ReactOS into the mixtoo.I just found out that master boot records are limited to 4 entries, meaning 4 primary partitions. I had Windows XP set up on my old drive as a boot partition, a program files partition and a media partition. Since I really didn't want to install XP from scratch, I cloned this setup on my new drive.
This leaves me one MBR partition entry for installing Windows 7, Ubuntu and ReactOS. I'd like to avoid having to install XP from scratch like the plague, partly because it's supposed to be a safety net in case things go wrong with my other OS's and because I've invested a lot of time getting it set up exactly the way I like it.Here are the options I've considered and why I don't like them:Install Windows 7 on my media partition. This would work, but I prefer to keep my media partition completely separate from any OS, so that I can reformat an OS partition without affecting my media partition at all.
Use wubi or something to install Ubuntu in the same partition as something else. Again, this is brittle.Move all my media to a logical drive on an extended partition. Create another logical drive on this extended partition for Ubuntu. The problem here is that extended partitions are rather brittle--if you nuke one, it renders the rest useless.Just put the old drive back in my computer and run XP off it. Use the new one for the other OS's. The problem here is that the old drive is slower and uses extra power, generates extra heat, etc.
I had a RAID1 array with two disks. I wanted to remove one of the disk and replace it by a new one. I first expanded the array from 2 to 3 components and let RAID rebuild completely. When this was done I used Gnome disk utility (palimpsest) to remove the component on the disk I want to get rid of. It looks like palimpsest did mess up somewhere because the array is no displaying as degraded. How can I get rid of the "removed" entry (was /dev/sdc1) in the RAID array (and hopefully have it come in Running state)?

I am trying to pinpoint which component of my machine is dying. Here's what I get when I try to install Windows 7: The specified I/O operation on DeviceHarddisk0DRO was not completed before the time-out period. I have tried changing hard drives, swapping memories (running them in single and parallel), changing BIOS settings, etc. When I run a live CD with Fedora, it will come up fine but when I try to install it runs like a snail. It will never complete.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI had to reload my openSuSE 11.1 and reloaded KDE 4.3.4 from KDE Repositories and did an unconditional update on KDE Core and Community to ensure I got all the current versions back.
I am now having an issue with at least two plasmoids that is regularly used. When I attempt to add them to the desktop, I get the message "component not found". This happens to at least these two, yasp and yawp for system status and weather. It may happen to others, I haven't tried.
They are both loaded and both are present in /usr/share/kde4/services. I removed them using YaST, then rebooted, then re-added them, then rebooted and still get the same result, component not found.
how to cross-reference it but searching on 'Could not initialize the browser's security component' will find it. Then look at the last 3 entries. Me and two other users have been unable to use Thunderbird since yesterday's update.

My friend had an old Dell Dimension E251 lying around and I said I'd help him turn it into a media center of sorts. The old 52" HDTV he wants to plug it into has a broken vga input and no HDMI, so our only real option is component or (heaven forbid) S-video. He can afford to get a new video card if it's relatively cheap, and I'm not really sure what would be our best option. Does anyone have a card in mind that would be relatively hassle free? I considered getting a card with HDMI output and using one of those HDMI to component converters, but my research suggests that that won't work. Are there old cards with component out, or is there a card that makes this relatively easy to achieve?
