Tried to create a data DVD the first time and another surprise. Very slow to write. On a dual boot system, it takes Windows 7 ten times less to do it. When i tried to folllow the ideeas from forums, i couldn't find Brasero in /apps/ with gconftool or gconf-editor. With Nautilus i get the same low speed.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI opened Alt-F2 > gconf-editor > metacity and used command_1 in keybinding_commands. The type was string and the value xterm. I then moved to global_keybindings and used run_command_1. The value was now <Control><Alt><Shift>p. Nothing happens when I press the key combination. I've tried other key combinations also. And I've tried to run root as root and as user. rebooted. Nothing happens. If I change an existing key combination it takes it immediately an xterm pops up.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble removing entries in gconf-editor (GUI).
I have searched everywhere: manpages, internets, forums, can't find anything related.
Here's the situation: I installed Avant Window Navigator and it naturally created entries in gconf-editor for interface, applets etc. The thing is that when I uninstalled it the entries are still there, and yes I have deleted the corresponding folders in home/.gconf/apps. Also did a search of my filesystem for awn, avant widow navigator, avant-window-navigator etc and nothing came up. Looked in /etc, nothing. Looked in /etc/gconf, also nothing.
I was trying to make Gnome display the date in a better format. I tried using gconf-editor as described in the thread at [URL], but I also found that apps > panel> default_setup > applets > clock had no prefs item.
Unfortunately, the solution which worked for quixote (stop running as root) didn't help me as I was running as the only account I've set up on the system, and all of the files in ~/.gconf are owned by that user.
Does anyone know what else could cause options to vanish like that? I'm running Gnome 2.32.0.
For some reason my gconf-editor does not have a ftp entry. (/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/ftp)This is annoying as it sets all unknown urls to firefox. I always liked Nautilus as the default.
I tried creating a %gconf.xml file to $HOME/.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/ftp/ and still no luck.
I use Debian Lenny and iceweasel as my browser on a gnome core desktop. I also use JFOREX (java application) for my trading platform. It works fine. The problem is when I click on portfolio statement in creates an error which states: "Error in launching web browser". I googled the error on the web and read some sites and it says that I should install gconf-editor and modify the URL handlers in order to point to iceweasel.
The problem is I am practically a noob when it comes to gnome and sadly I am not technical enough to understand the values that needs to be changed using gconf-editor.
I have been installing and uninstalling stuff about mouse properties and xorg.conf mouse section... and now I have several "extra" keys in gconf, exactly these:
/desktop/gnome/peripherals
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse

I have changed the default gnome-terminal preference but it is ignoring the default geometry I set using gconf-editor.
It is opening in 80x24 and I have it set at 100x25 under

I can use the gconf-editor to disable the screen-saver lock and set it to activate when its idle. But no matter what I change /apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_delay to, the ScreenSaver UI is never updated and stays at the default 5 minutes. There seems to be no link between the slider bar in the ScreenSaver Preferences and the value that lies at /apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_delay...
The reason why I'm doing it through gconf-editor is so a start-up script I have created can use gconftool-2 to alter settings for certain users on login.
Is this broken in Ubunto 10.04 or am I looking in the wrong place.
Anyone have an alternative to gconf-editor for changing the idle dim time? I have a Vaio, which hasn't exactly been compatible with ubuntu but I've been making it work.What I'm looking for is an alternative, like the the one I'm using to control the back light (nvclock).

View 7 Replies View RelatedOne thing I was disappointed with Fedora 12 was the CD/DVD burning application Brasero. I used this application (version 2.6) on Fedora 11 and every time I created a video DVD, i would get an error 'You do not have the required permissions to use this drive'. Even though I was getting this message, it will burn the DVD successfully and I was able to watch the DVD on TV. But getting this error was annoying. I wrote to the developer Luis Medinas who didn't bother to reply. I posted question in Fedora forums and got no answers.
I came across a note on the internet that they have fixed this bug in version 2.8 that came with Fedora 12, so I installed a fresh copy of Fedora 12. But to my surprise this time Brasero came up with a different error.This time I wrote to another developer Philippe Rouquier and I haven't heard from him either. In next version of Fedora I would be very happy to see a "stable" CD/DVD burning application that won't throw errors.It is very annoying and a big turn off as a user. The only time I use Windows is to author DVD's TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 simply because in Linux there is no program that is sophisticated and stable enough.
I have installed the Wubi version of Ubuntu 10.04 on my Dell 1537 Studio laptop. Additionally, I have installed the GDK plug ins for .MP3 file support. When the installation completed, there was a message indicating the installation was successful, but it was unable to install one plug in. I am able to play .MP3's, but I can not add them to an audio disk project in Brasero. When I have Brasero do a search for the missing software, it can not find what it needs.

I'm unable to find a decent hex editor for GNU/Linux -- let alone a really good one. I don't really care if it is GUI or console based, but it has to work properly, the curses-based ones that I've tried somehow manage to corrupt its own display by merely scrolling through the file being edited.
So, my question is, what is a good hex editor for GNU/Linux? If possible I'd gladly like to know both the name of a console based one and another GUI-based one.
I'm currently writing a little script that gets a random image from the xkcd website and then sets it as the desktop background. I grab the picture with wget, and to prevent the script from spamming by creating a new file for each image the new picture always gets downloaded to "wall.png". Apparently this is a problem for gconftool-2. When I run the following command for the first time, the background changes:
Code:
gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /home/zilioum/wall.png
But if I run my script, and then run the same command again nothing happens. It seems like gconftool-2 does not change the background if the filename stays the same even though the picture changes.
Things I tried but that don't work:setting the backround to a dummy location and then setting it to wall.png unsetting the value first, and then setting wall.png as background
I could always download it to the actual filename, set that file as the background and then move that file to wall.png or delete it. But I'm wondering if there is a way to "smart up" gconftool-2.
