Re: [gentoo-user] gnome-panel

2005-06-20 Thread Tres Melton
I use enlightenment 16.7.2 but have a gnome panel running. I am experiencing the same issue of about a ten second delay as that which was mentioned on the list. I didn't used to have this problem until the recent upgrade. So Antonio, add one more to your list. On Sun, 2005-06-19 at 22:05 -0700

[gentoo-user] Gnome-config question

2005-06-14 Thread Tres Melton
I'm trying to port plextor-tools.ebuild from ~x86 to ~amd64 and have encountered a problem. The Makefile sets CFLAGS=`gnome-config --cflags applets` $(SCFLAGS) but "gnome-config --cflags applets" returns "Unknown library `applets'" even though I have gnome-base/gnome-applets installed.

Yea, but if he sends it to the list and then the list sends it to him won't he get it that way? If not then you're right, very annoying! On Fri, 2005-05-06 at 14:13 -0700, Steven Susbauer wrote: > Gmail will not send you your own messages. It's both "smart" and annoying. > > On 5/6/05, Jan Han X

I have the same issue on my machine. It's strange since my alsa sound is working just fine. Gnome's alsa-mixer can adjust all of the inputs but alsaconf insists that there is no device found. I have an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and am using onboard sound. On Tue, 2005-04-26 at 11:24 +0100, Francisc

No, xorg.conf just configures the way that the X server talks to the video/screen/keyboard/mouse. It does NOT effect the way other X applications run. In fact you can be on a machine w/ X running and ssh into another machine w/o an X server and still run X programs. They will open their windows

Can you see 'the file' or can you see a whole shitload of files and directories? If you can only see one file, ?.iso, then you didn't burn the CD correctly. The iso is an image file that needs to be burned onto the CD without anything else. If you drag and drop in Windoze then it will first

Change the order of the boot devices in your BIOS. You might make sure that you can actually see the CD from Winblows so that you know it is readable. If this is your problem then you might want to try a distro that is geared more towards new Linux users. On Wed, 2005-04-20 at 14:12 +1000, Nanay
