I cannot seem to find a Preferred Applications menu anywhere in GNOME, nor can I find updated documentation on it in the GNOME website. Could someone please explain how to find it?

I'm trying to set Desktop-Webmail to be the preferred Mail Client in Preferred Applications in Natty, but Evolution is the only selectable option.
Purging Desktop-Webmail didn't help, nor did trying other such apps like gnome-gmail.
Any ideas on how the list of Mail Clients can be set?
I recently installed opensuse 11.4 on a remote server. It has GNOME installed as a desktop. The problem I am experiencing is that when logged in through VNC, most of the GUI apps are not functioning, especially ones that require root privs. Example: The Add/Create users context does not function. After you supply root pw, nothing happens. If you launch it from a terminal, you see this:
jjmuw@g01:~> xdg-su -c /sbin/yast2 users
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display "::1:1.0".
No protocol specified
No protocol specified
[code]....
(y2base:4872): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: ::1:1.0
Followed by a hang. This is also affecting things like the Xen configuration contexts (creating/managing VMs).
Hi
I'm using Gnome 2.3 under 11.3 x64.
Whenever I minimise an app, it disapperas from the taskbar. I've fixed it by installing the window selector; however, it only works for apps running in my main monitor. Anything on the external monitor doesn't show.
How do I fix this?
And a Merry Christmas to all!
When I go to Computer, Control Panel, Sound and look at the Hardware tab, nothing is there. In the Output tab, 'Dummy Output' is the only item listed. In Sound in Yast2, the device shows correctly as Card Model - Thinkpad X61, driver snd-hda-intel.I click on "Play Test Sound" through there, it works fine. Mplayer (from a terminal session), Gnome Mplayer, Banshee, and Totem all don't play sound
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just installed openSUSE 64 bit and have it up and running. Great looking OS. I have four questions, not sure if I should post four threads, or ask all in here. I'm familiar with the Gnome GUI, but this is my first experience with KDE. Want to learn something new.
one: I installed the benchmark bonnie, and now can not find it. I've looked in just about every folder and can't seem to locate it.
two: I looked for the benchmark Hardinfo to install and the installer was unable to locate it. How do I find it, it is not in the package manager.
three: I install the bubble monitor desktop applet and can't figure out how to bring it up, the setting menu is in the upper right on the desktop. How do you turn on the display?
forth: Where do you set your signature in this forum? I went through the setting and couldn't find it.
This is the forth Linux OS I've installed and this was the cleanest and smoothest install yet, Debian could take some lessons at least on the install app, 5 out out 5 stars on the install package. So far I've been able to configure everything the way I want with the exceptions above. Below is my system info just in case that matters. openSUSE 64bit KDE,LMDE 64bit Gnome,Squeeze64bit Gnome - HP Compaq dc5700 MT desktop w/ Intel Core 2 Duo 6400 2.13GHz, 3.6GB DDR2 SDRAM, Intel 82Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controller
games, specifically solitaire and gimp both have started returning a floating point exception fault.

View 5 Replies View Relatedit was difficult for me to get it set up. So, when Squeeze became the stable release, I strayed. Tried Ubuntu, Mandriva, PCLOS, Mepis, both KDE and Gnome, and after using Lenny for several months, they all sucked. So I'm back, and although it took me several hours, over a few days, and 50 searches, I have Squeeze set up just how I want. I love how fast and stable it is!!
I've become a big fan of Gnome over the past year, because of how simple, fast and stable it is. But, there are a few KDE apps I prefer over the ones available for Gnome. I want to install K3b, KTorrent, digiKam/showFoto, and probably Amarok (although I haven't given Rythembox a fair chance). I realize this will install the KDE base, but other than the space taken up, is there any disadvantage to doing this? If there's a chance it will affect the speed and stability of the system, I'll learn to live without them.
Is there a way to extract the MD5 SUM from a .iso I download in Gnome?? K3b does it automatically before the burn. Does Brasero do this and I'm just missing it?
I've tried using Transmission a few times before to download torrents, but never with success, yet with KTorrent, I just click on the file and it starts downloading it.
I use some kde applications in gnome such as k3b, basket notes, kover kreator and amarok. These pull in a large amount of dependencies and need the occasional tweak to get them running smoothly. Although I prefer the gnome desktop would I be any better installing the kde desktop and then running the applications from the gnome menu? Would there be any advantage to this rather than installing them individually into gnome?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am about to install Linux Mint 8 and Fedora 12 along with Win7 on my Thinkpad T500.
I will mostly be using the following programs:
-Firefox
-Thunderbird
-VLC Player
-Amarok
[code]...
Which desktop should I go with? KDE or Gnome? I used Gnome on Ubuntu so far and I like it. I am just wondering if Kdenlive and Amarok might run more smoothly on KDE?
I downloaded rpm so far but my only problem is I don't know what apps there are for it?
View 14 Replies View RelatedEver since I upgraded to 10.10, I've been having problems with running KDE apps under my Gnome desktop.Problem one: Apps start in full screen. With Amarok, I was able to set a shortcut key to un-fullscreen the program, which worked. BasKet does not have an option for setting such a keyboard shortcut, and it's pretty much just stuck in fullscreen. Since I'm running Gnome, I do not have an option for un-fullscreening it via the window list bar/right click window menu.
Second problem: My KDE apps seem to use my GTK theme/color settings, but only partially. This results in a situation where I have black text on gray background, which makes it pretty unusable unless I change the GTK theme to something more black-on-white. Before 10.10, KDE apps used to run with what I assume was some sort of a KDE theme, completely different from my GTK theme. I was OK with that, and if possible, would like to remove whatever Gnome-KDE compatibility thing that is causing this.
I use a few KDE apps in gnome, and I like them to look as in KDE with elegant qt style buttons and controls,however they look like whatever but what qt applications look like.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Ubuntu 11.04 with Gnome 2 (a.k.a. the "Ubuntu Classic" shell) and the "New Wave" theme from the official repositories.
This installation started out as 10.04, and was then immediately upgraded to 10.10. I had to do that because 10.10 wouldn't install directly because of some bug.
It worked fine until I upgraded to 11.04, now I've got a bug whereby Qt apps don't render properly.
See the image here:
Now if I open the "Qt 4 Settings" tool and set it to Cleanlooks:
As you can see, it works correctly with Cleanlooks, but with it set to "Desktop Settings (default)", it is impossible to see the current selection, dividers etc.
This affects all Qt4 applications.
I have tried installing the package including the theme from 10.10 and that didn't help so I'm inclined to think it's not New Wave that is at fault here. Perhaps it's something that was changed for Unity?
(I'd rather not switch to a different theme, this one works for me. And I'd switch to Linux Mint but I've got all my stuff set up on here )
I have 4 workspaces set up and they appear on the bottom menu bar. Usually I can switch to each and see what's running in each, even if the apps are minimised. Now I can only see what hasn't been minimised, and I can't see or return to the ones that are minimised... System Monitor shows the minimised apps are running... I was poking around gconf editor late the other night and I must have altered a setting but I have no idea which. I've looked through docs etc but can't find a solution.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a keyboard&monitor damaged laptop which I've converted into a media server/HTPC with a large external monitor. I've installed Ubuntu 9.10, and attached an external 1TB HDD with my video collection. As a media player it works perfectly fine. I can connect to it through my home network, both with VNC and with SSH. I can use VNC on my current laptop to access the player's desktop and play video files. However, this is awkward as the screen resolution of the playback monitor is 1920x1080 - much bigger than the laptop's screen - which means I either end up scrolling the viewpoint around, or scaling the virtual screen down to make reading text very difficult.
What I'd like to be able to do is to trigger Gnome applications - specifically the Totem video player - via a SSH session, on the current Gnome desktop. The idea is that I'd like to be able to browse the directories which house my video collection in SSH, launch the player in the session, and have it appear on the monitor. Ultimately, I'd like to be able to invoke this from a PHP script - thus allowing me to create a (simple) web application on a LAMP installation which would allow me to browse & play my video collection. Currently, when I try and invoke totem, it seems to want to connect the invocation of the software to the SSH session, which - of course - it can't do. Where I might start in trying to set this up?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of re-DL-ing the ISO as the checksums didn't match.
Mind you, that was with a shell extension in Win-Lose. Who knows.
Anyway:
I have the ISO (that I had previously) on a USB courtesy of UNetBootIn. All appears well until, quite quickly, I receive an error after the loading process which goes something like:
Code:
Error: cannot find disk at [hash-code - looks like 0ace5f etc etc, is about 12 char's in length.]Something very similar (but not same error I think) happened when I tried to do the same with my OpenSolaris or Fedora install. I.e., gets as far as the very beginning of the loader and then: bork.
At least one of them said "will reboot in 120 secs". Saves me the trouble!
fedora 13, Gnome, with the exception of Kdenlive... I need to change to match my gnome theme... I work in a dark environment so I use a dark theme... nearly impossible to use kdenlive as is...
If I remember correctly there was a utility in KDE to make gnome apps look nice, but can't find anything like that for gnome, can't find kcontrol in safe repos for some reason, maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing
Just upgraded to Fedora 15 this afternoon, and for the most part there weren't any serious issues with it (except for rpmfusion lagging on a F15 yum repo). I installed the XFCE spin, and a lot of GNOME-specific apps don't respect my GTK+ theme at all. Screenshot: [URL]... On the left are two "XFCE" apps (Mousepad and Task Manager), on the right are two GNOME apps (gedit and the NetworkManager "Connection Information" window). Is there an easy way to fix this? I have a custom Murrine theme set, but the problem is still there using the built-in themes such as Glossy too.
