(1/4) > >>

HPC GUY:
#1 xmms will no longer stream online radio
what the fuck?! none of the drivers want to work now.

#2 K on CD is shit. i have had nothing but trouble trying to burn right. 7.3 didnt seem to have this problem.

#3 No kill app command on on right click.

#4 cannot ctrl+alt+delete in gnome

#5 Cdrom now absolutely refuses to eject unless the drive is manualy unmounted and god forbid K on cd fucks up. then you CANNOT get your cd out unless you reboot.

#6 Mozilla dominates all browsing and it doesnt come with java plugins. so several pages come out fucked up.

Master of Reality:
your a pussy!

1. go to www.xmms.org and read the first fucking thing on the page (if that is whats wrong)

2. use xcdroast

3. what the fuck are you talking about? I dont have that button on rightclick

4. use KDE!

5. do you have it setup to automatically unmount CDs?? and use xcdroast

6. Konqueror, Galeon, Netscape, Lynx,and Links (are you expecting internet explorer or something!?) come with RedHat. Or you could just download the fucking plugin for mozilla!!!!

HPC GUY:
1) no thats not my problem, STREAMING INTERNET RADIO
2) i intend on using xcdroast
3) in 7.3 you could kill an app by right klicking on  the window
4) i shouldnt have to use KDE but it looks like ill have to (or downgrade)
5)see 2
6) i just dont like the fact that mozilla is default instead of galeon

voidmain:
7.3 used Sawfish as the Gnome Window manager I believe. RedHat 8.0 used a new window manager called  metacity in the Gnome side. You can set limited number of keyboard shortcuts (even to CTRL+ALT+DEL if you want) by clicking "Preferences">"Keyboard Shortcuts". Now there doesn't appear to be a way to add more commands from that shortcut tool. I've also browsed around "gconf-editor" and found where you can add shortcut commands but I haven't actually gotten it to work. KDE should still work fine and you should be able to configure the keyboard shortcuts as you always have. I find the Gnome side to have far fewer features than KDE but I sort of like the simplicity of it.

"ALT+F2+xkill" always works for killing an app with your mouse. I don't know about koncd as I don't use it and I actually don't use Xcdroast either. I've always preferred to burn CDs (and most everything else) from the command line. You might also try the "eject" command which should unmount and eject your CD in one swoop.

You can change your default browser by clicking "Extras">"Preferences">"Preferred Applications".

Hope this helps. For what it's worth I was extremely dissatisfied with RedHat 8.0 when I first started using it. But within a couple of weeks I have learned to like it more than any other version of RedHat and more than any other distro period.

Also could you give me an example of an internet radio site that does not work with XMMS in RH8 that did in XMMS with RH7?  I would like to explore this. Danka.
