Network disconnected popup
by David Bentley
Since yesterdays updates I am seeing a popup saying
that the network is
disconnected but it isn't any idea which component
could be causing this
so that a bug report can be raised against it.

Not privileged to mount CDs
by Paul Dickson
When I place a non-blank CD in my CDROM drive, I get the message "You are
not privileged to mount the volume '<volume-name>'."
What do I need to do to be privileged?
This might be new as google doesn't find anything immediately relevant.

python bindings for RPM documentation
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby
Hi,
What is the ML to subscribe to, to discuss abouut python RPM bindings?
There has been:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/rpm-list/2000-August/msg00256.html
But it is quite old now, and may be things have changed.
My goal is to install-remove a RPM with only python, no shell script.
Obviously, I will try to write a kind of documentation (tutorial or
"long documentation") if I succeed.

Opengroupware, SPIP, Plone, PhpBB, JetSpeed... are good: CPS is better.

Thank you!!!!!
Thats it.
(And I think I like your solution better than disabling the whole
Synaptic driver)
Now that I know what to focus on, I found a wiki entry from Gentoo
that describes some of these synaptic driver options
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Synaptics_Touchpad
I'm going to examine this, and hopefully other docs, to see what
needs to be (or can be) tweaked to get my touchpad back to working
the way it did a few years ago.
For example 'double-tap-drag' no longer works (ie. click'n-drag).

Personally, I find it VERY aggravating when I go to move around on
a web page, and all of a sudden the browser has now moved back 4 pages
in history.
Many thanks for your advise. Its save me from hurling my laptop
out of a 15 story window. :-)

The Latest Power Manager
by Partha Bagchi
The latest power manager is competing with the previous one to be the
silliest one of all. It is getting sillier and sillier to use the piece
of abomination especially when it has no exit button, I do not (which
part of not is difficult to understand??) want to use it. Now I have no
way of telling it to do nothing. Unplugging the power puts it in suspend
mode immediately. Considering that the wireless (Broadcom bcm43xx) is
not mature enough (starts with network disconnected balloon), it is an
immediate pain in the butt to reactivate it. Also, since the wireless is
built into the Kernel, no way to get rid of that one either!!
Please give it a rest and include a button to exit from it so that I do
not have to 86 it every time I start the computer. BTW, in case it is
not clear, I am using this on a laptop.
Sheesh!

panel probs - applets - how to get them back
by David Timms
I get the following two error dialogs as the desktop completes loading
after login:
1.
The panel encountered a problem while loading
"OAFIID:GNOME_Panel_TrashApplet"
Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?
2.
The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_MixerApplet".
Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?
I have been choosing Dont Delete, rather than delete; I'd like them back
(vol icon and trash icon).
I expected first that there was some transient problem with devel, but
now I expect that I've messed something up.
I think I need to re-install rpm -Uvh --force the appropriate package:
but which package contains the things that these messages refer to ?
Perhaps others are seeing this ?

man pages for GLUT?
by Jonathan Berry
Hi all,
Does anyone know why there are no man pages included for GLUT in the
freeglut (or freeglut-devel) package? My school has some version of
SuSE running on the computers that we do OpenGL development on. The
SuSE version of the freeglut rpms has the man pages (specifially, they
are in the freeglut-devel rpm). I've noticed that there is some HTML
documentation included with the Fedora rpm, but nothing quite as
helpful as man pages. If there are not any licencing issues with the
man pages (could there be?), would it be possible for the Fedora rpms
to include these? I have no idea where they come from.

RE: Are mouse gestures permanently enabled?
by any web
hi
if you edit your xorg.conf you'll probably see a section in there called
synaptics
if you rem it out like so
# InputDevice "Synaptics" "CorePointer"
# Load "synaptics"
and restart X you might now see the problem has disappeared,
i've noticed this also on the last few releases of Fedora on my notebooks,
cheers
