drag/drop image from browser to OOo?
by Joe Smith
Does this work for anyone using Fedora?
For both F8 and F9, using Firefox or Seamonkey, if I drag an image from
the browser onto an OOo Writer or Draw document, all I get is the HTML
text for the image.
From discussions online, it seems that these same apps running on
Windows or other Linux distributions give more useful results: you get
the image in the OOo document.
The same drag/drop into Gimp loads the image there, and I can copy/paste
from Gimp into OOo. Drag/drop from gthumb into OOo works fine.
Does anyone else get this result? Have I missed a setting somewhere?
TIA

f8: PC dies while using firefox
by Renich Bon Ciric
Hello,
I've been experiencing, lately, some total freezes. The computer just
dies:
- The mouse won't respond.
- The keyboard won't respond.
- X can't be restarted
The only option is to hard-reset. Once done, firefox looses most of it's
configuration options and sessions. It doesn't loose field history,
history and bookmarks.
I have the following addons:
- Google sync
- Google toolbar
- Google notebook
- Facebook toolbar.
I've experienced problems even without these. Tried removing flash with
no luck...
Anybody experiencing the same problems? Any idea of what's the problem?

Too many mails from mailing list
by emynn hwang
I'm wondering if I could still post to the list while setting "mail
delivery" option disable. I'm fed up with the mail-storm. They just mess
up my mail-box. If that won't work, are there any other workarounds?

Firefox 3 & Fedora 8
by Jorge Fábregas
Hello guys,
I'm on Fedora 8 and would like to try out Firefox 3 (Beta 5) since I'm kind of
tired of Firefox 2 taking too many cpu cycles :( I'm not sure if it's the
flash plugin (latest) or firefox itself. I removed npviewer though but I
still see firefox taking more than 90% cpu usage once in a while.
Is there an rpm ready for Fedora 8? I tried enabling the development repo and
then did: "yum update firefox" but then more than 60 packages were set to be
updated! So I cancelled it... How is this possible?
Thanks

Help Requested in Choosing a Power Linux Laptop/Notebook with Multimedia.
by Sanjay Arora
Greetings from India to all
First of all, I would like to thank the community for the effort it
puts in and users like us get the benefit. I started using linux about
5 years ago and today I personally use Fedora and all other six users
in my SME company use Centos. And, I am proud to say that today we
only a single Windows installation in our small office (for ISP
troubleshooting, even though most of the use is Desktop.
However, I am in a fix now. I need to buy a high end laptop, (4 GB
RAM, 200 GB HDD, 17" Screen, Touchpad, Integrated Webcam and Full
Multimedia, so that the system can double as a Personal Entertainment
Device High End Audio/Video on long trips). I will need to run Centos
& Windows virtualized with Xen or some other hypervisor, for my some
of my office applications
I have browsed lots of sites & mailing lists, even some linux
certified sellers, but all seem to show either outdated hardware or
low multimedia.
I would like to know of such a Laptop which has linux drivers for all
its hardware, even if scattered on the net and someone is using such a
system successfully for similar applications. I could perhaps
outsource the driver compilation & installation to someone remotely,
as I do not know much about compiling & troubleshooting Hardware
problems.
My Windows usage is rare & for only a couple of programs for Equity &
Commodity Trade Charting and works in hypervisor, though I have not
tested it yet.
I do not now want to revert to Windows for other applications like
Multimedia, because I have been quite happy with Fedora Multimedia on
my Desktop. Only issue is choosing the right hardware for which
drivers are available & outsourcing to someone to build driver rpms
for me & others for that particular laptop. After that, at least one
high end model will be available for other people like myself.
Hope the Fedora Gurus will give some guidance about selecting such a
laptop for which full hardware support can be built in the
community....I will gladly pay someone reasonable amount to do it for
me and build it into the Fedora code.
With best regards and my thanks.
Sanjay.

Terminal Emulators: Support for Horiz-Scrolling and Ansi Esc Seq.?
by Dan Thurman
I have been scratching my head on this question and
wondered if there is a Terminal Emulator (TE) program that
supports both Horizontal-Scrolling (HS) as well as Ansi
Escape Sequences (AES).
Via my previous postings, it was discovered that full AES code
worked on xterm and konsole, but not on Gnome-Terminal (GT).
Ok, no biggie as I can use xterm but GT needs fixing or at least
tell me how to get blinking to work on GT. But still, none of the
above mentioned TEs supports HS.
After searching all over the Internet, I had hints that xterm does
support HS, but I could be deluded, or it does not exist, or I just
have not been able to figure out how to enable it.
Can anyone tell me what TE is available that supports HS & AEQ?
Many thanks,
Dan
