Having : Internet = 5-7 submenus = 1 app entry is IMHO clearly suboptimal. ( ie, 1 step more to get application , on a total of 3, that's a lot ). Does it happen ? In a default Mandriva KDE installation I already have more than 10 internet applications. I do not use kde, but that doesn't sound good. What are the entries ? Are all of them really needed ? I prefer 3 quick steps rather than 2 long steps. This would requires some testing and measures to see which is faster, which is more confusing. Fcrozat did some tests, but I think the report were not published :/ I hate submenus, I always fail to navigate them properly (move the mouse out and switch to other higher level menu and have to go back and go down again in the submenu) Having submenus will usually make it 5 or 6 quick upsetting steps instead of 1 long one.

Re: [Mageia-dev] Problem with monitor brightness
Hi all, I'm experiencing a problem at the login: the monitor brightness is too low and I can see window ghost only. No keyboard keys combinations (Fn+Brightness[+/-]) works. Restarting kdm (service dm restart) seems to solve the problem, but after a restart I'm still at the starting point. I'm on a hyunday as26 laptop, video card Unichrome S3 shared memory. Any tips? -- Matteo () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments hi matteo, why don't you open a bug report and give the link here? thanks cheers, Marcello

Since all mirrors sync their tree from tier1, and we don't have the hand on tier1 servers, we cannot provides rsync share as we want... Well, the question was to ease tier1 admins in this regard. But we might as well just provide guidance and ready-to-use script for tier2 and others. Romain

[Mageia-dev] Bugs mailing list, new bugs Subject line
At the moment when a new bug report is filed bugzilla adds the string New: to the subject line of the email, this is removed in subsequent emails (once the bug is not new any more, i.e. more comments were added... etc). This is a sort of an unofficial poll about how many people out there find this useful (or not). -- Ahmad Samir

[Mageia-dev] xserver-1.10
Hi As xserver-1.10 has just been released, I offer to do the upgrade like I did the xserver-1.7 - xserver-1.9 upgrade in Mandriva : - wait for most drivers to be compatible - test xserver+basic drivers - upload xserver-1.10 + rebuild drivers into core/testing - wait for more test coverage - fix issues - wait for fglrx+nvidia to be ready for 1.10 (thx to Ubuntu, they should support it fast enough) - move packages from core/testing into core/release (expecting rpmctl or something equivalent to be available or spamming sysadmins) WDYT? See you
