Gnome Mime Types
Hi, I've just installed Woody from scratch, and am finding that changes to the File Type handlers section of the Gnome Control Center (e.g. setting up jpeg files to be opened up in GIMP by default) don't seem to flow through to the Gnome file manager. Any clues as to why? The file manager seems to recognise the files correctly (i.e. as image/jpeg), but displays the wrong icon (i.e. not the one I setup in the Gnome Control Center), and when I double click on the icon, it brings up a dialog asking me what application I wish to open it with (ie. not automatically in GIMP) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tobias, >I'm just migrating from RedHat 7.3 to Woody and got te following >problem: >when I try to dial up to the internet wvdial does everything alright >and pppd starts up.

Also user is member of dip and dialout. Did you install diald? If so, the solution may be simpler than you think... 1. Run 'ps -ef | grep diald'. 2. If you find it running, kill it, then try dialling in again. I had a similar issue when I installed Woody recently. I installed diald, but was used to using "pon" and "poff" to dialup. So when I came to use pon/poff, it dialed in correctly, pppd was running fine, but I couldn't "see out", (ie. mozilla, ping, email, etc wouldn't work). Diald seems to have a stranglehold on the networking. You can use diald, of course. All you need to do is fire up mozilla, and start browsing (or attempt to browse) and your modem will automatically dial-up.
