About time too, I was foaming at the mouth when the BBC announced their iPlayer, I pay my license fee just like everyone else, I should not be discriminated against because I choose not to support a monopoly that the govenrments of this world have allowed to happen.

for KDE you could use kdocker. maybe check out their website for a gnome equivalent?
Edit: Apparently, kdocker works with GNOME too; see http://kdocker.sourceforge.net/
That's not quite what I was getting at, or at least I don't think so. The apps in question already have a system tray icon, I was wondering whether there's a arguement, like a gnu switch or similar for gnome, that could force the application to minimise to the system tray.

Hey guys, not really specific to any distro, just gnome. I have a couple of programs that start up when I log in to gnome (transmission and pidgin), but ideally I would like them to go straight to the system tray, rather than see them in the immediate workspace. Anyone know how to do this (if possible) through gnome sessions, other than saving the last session?
Gnome version is 2.18 with compiz 3.6, all running on Fedora 7
Cheers (and there's a
for the first to answer) -
Well done!

If it is just using the file system you wont need apache, check the example I put above for a reference.
I wasn't aware of the method you shown, so I agree, you don't need apache :D (might try it out myself later
) -
I have both, but only use livna for kmod-ntfs, kmod-fglrx and livna-config-display, everything else comes from freshrpms. To keep things safe, I edit /etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo (after you installed the repo.rpm) and set enabled to zero. Therefor I only use livna when I need it like so
yum --enablerepo=livna install kmod-ntfs
-
This link may help you: http://tqmcube.com/repo.php
From what I can see, createrepo only creates the headers, it will not configure yum for you, which will be obvious if you run
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/
to which you will see that your newly created repo isn't there.
In addition, I suspect that you may need to have apache running as well, and the repo in the right place.

err .. no
$90 USD
Better get clicking then (j/k)

Neither of those provide a "live" environment running off the media, you need to Download Mandriva One in order to achieve that.
-
That's why GNOME has a front-end to these files: gconf-editor. Although I rarely have to use this myself...since my GNOME apps hardly ever break... B)
Although, lets be honest, it's not quite embracing the GUI philosophy of user friendliness.

Remix your Fedora 8)

Ooooh, papa's got a brand new toy to play with :bounce8:

I missed out some of the stuff in that guide, whilst I was trying to fix what I borked with using freshrpms and livna at the same time.
I only use livna for kernel modules, it is always disabled in the repo file, and manually enabled by passing --enablerepo=livna as and when it's needed.
As for the speed, to be honest, I don't find it to be that much faster than FC6, there is an improvement, but I haven't seen a significant difference.
-
You want stability? Stick to the cli.
There's no denying the truth!

Who uses system-sounds in Gnome? It is so Window-ish... :P
Umm, I do/did :unsure:
ex-kde users that come to the better DE...... :unsure: (/me puts on flame resistant suite.) -
Anyone installing this but not watching the fedora forum or bugzilla should be careful when enabling system sounds on gnome, as it basically breaks gnome :(
but that's easily fixed by editing the following line in /etc/esd.conf
default_options=
changing it to:
default_options=-nobeeps -unix -as 2

Ian, try bittorrent if you can, it only took me 4 hours, like I said above, I only have a 2 megabit connection,
-
It's as good as June now, but i'll post this anyway:
Brand new Fedora 7 Desktop
-
Incidently, finally downloaded, quite impressed that it only took 4 hours (2Mb Down, 256Kb up) over bittorrent for the full i386 dvd (looks like it was well seeded), will install later though when i'm a break things mood
-
Would someone be kind to move this topic to the news forum?
You should know me by now dexter, it is my belief that news about other distro's do not belong on the portal page of a Mandriva (ish) site, this is why I posted it here.

Howdy, cousins! Welcome to our little Fedora hollow, where we've
brewed up some mighty, mighty Fedora 7 Moonshine for your enjoyment.
Here, I'll help you pour that ... and some for me ... *cough, cough*
Smoooooth ... sure does taste good. It's been sitting here in the jug
for almost a whole month now! Go ahead and help yourself to some
more:
http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora.html
What's the most important thing to do if you are upgrading your Fedora
version? Why, that's easy! Read the release notes, it prevents
hangovers:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes
What are new things to do with your Moonshine?
* Mix and remix this Moonshine to come up with as many flavored drinks
as there is Joe-Pye weed in the Appalachians. Want an OS to
send home with the students or staff? Add packages, remove
packages, spin it any way you like. Let a thousand distros bloom!
* Bottle up that custom mix and call it an appliance. ISV building an
appliance product? Make an RPM, identify the minimal number of
packages needed for an appliance around that RPM, then build a
distro and a live image. Easy as moon pie.
Gol' darn, but this is good 'shine. *hic* There, is that enough? No?
Here, let me pour us some more, and we can toast the most important
part of this Moonshine -- the makers. You thought I made it? Oh, no.
No special elite brewmaster here, I'm just a bartender, and this log
is my bar! Ha ha. No, really ... see ...
Fedora 7 is the first release where the development was one hunnerd
and one per-cent in the community. How? It's simple, cousin -- all
the code was merged into a single external repository. Why? Same
great distribution quality, even more high-quality developers able to
work directly with the code and improve the flavor of over 7500
packages.
Grab that jug, look inside, and you find:
* KDE? Yep, with Moonshine, Fedora and KDE are gettin' downright
friendly with each other.
* Laptops? A tickless kernel means better power consumption for
laptops; extended wireless functionality, meaning more chances
hardware will Just Work. Yee-ha!
* Get those Live images, burn CDs or DVDs, and share them with your
friends and neighbors. This is the first Fedora distribution with
full Live CD/DVD capability.
* Interoperability? Let's start with resizing and reading of NTFS
file systems. How about those Liberation fonts, d'you like how they
just slip right in where other fonts were used?
* Why stop with just one fruit jar of virtualization? This release
includes support for KVM and overall more virtualization capability.
* As always, tasty new graphics for the Fedora 7 desktop, as well as
an updated Website look and functionality, including a new build and
package update system.
More? Read up at:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-note...n-OverView.html
Oops, looks like we drank up all that jug. Guess I'll just make a
trip over the torrents to get me another. All right, then, we'll
see you. Y'all come back soon now, ya hear?
= Want Fedora? Get Fedora =
Without fail another Fedora release announcement that makes me laugh (for the right reasons).
-
Should be a good one, i'm hoping that the merge of repo's isn't too late in the process, but I have confidence in their developers ;)
Give it a try I say, only you will know if it works for you, if it does, great, if it doesn't, it's not the end of the world.
-
I share the same opinion as Ian, don't expect an official update from Mandriva, that's not likely to happen, although they will probably backport any necessary security updates.

dexter11,
this has been an ongoing issue for as long as I can remember, too long for excuses. Long before now the question should have been asked, "why can't our customers get in touch with us?" That question should have been asked and dealt with a long time ago, again this is how real companies do business. Let's face the truth, Mandriva (the company) is only supported by fans of the 1998 distro that is now long gone and those that know no better! Nice little niche market there, as long as they can hold on to it.
-
I encourage everybody who doesn't get response from their customer service to write on the club forum. Your problem won't be ignored there at least.
But why should they? If there is an established and formal channel there, they should expect a response from it with no additional effort, that's how real companies do business!

You can't kill the audit trail in one fell swoop
guys like me have nightmares about that ;)
This might not be the solution you are looking for, but say after you reconcile your bank accounts to the end of the year, you could simply print off your trial balance and journal in the figures as opening balances for the next year in a new file, and archive the old one. Just a thought.
