I have the same problem with f-spot 0.8.0 when importing .ORF files from an Olympus E1. The thumbnails in the importer show with date 01/01/0001, and then f-spot crashes when you click Import. If you subsequently try to open f-spot, it crashes with the error message described in bug 636819. To rec

2009-08-14 Thread David Edwards

Obviously this causes an interruption in the availability of NFS, and if you're using an NFS mounted home

[Bug 290140] Re: menu.lst not updated after kernel update

2009-06-01 Thread David Edwards
I think I have experienced this problem upgrading from 'hardy' to 'intrepid'. It seems that the grub update step isn't synchronised with the installation of the new kernel, and the generation of a new initramfs. In my case, I ended up with a menu.lst that listed the new kernel, but did not have a

The command gconftool-2 --type bool --set /desktop/gnome/sound/enable_esd false has fixed seamonkey 2.0 pre A. Firefox is actually improved somewhat, since it works properly after the connect() has timed out. gconftool-2 --type bool --set /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds false has no effect.

I have now found that /desktop/gnome/sound/enable_esd was true on my system. Odd since there is no esd, gconftool-2 --type bool --set /desktop/gnome/sound/enable_esd false has fixed sol. However, firefox still hangs. (gdb) where #0 0xb7fd2410 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb7fa7c38 in connect (
