Re: A few minor issues in Squeeze with Gnome
Thanks, everyone -- I've successfully resolved both these questions! -PT On Sat, Jun 5, 2010 at 2:28 PM, Peter Tenenbaum quar...@gmail.com wrote: I just migrated my new workstation from Lenny to Squeeze (the workstation is all relatively new hardware, so Lenny was just a bit too old to have correct drivers for everything). Most things are working fine, but I have a couple of minor questions. 1. In Nautilus, I can't figure out how to make the navigation bar the default when looking at folders (ie, the window in which one can type a location). I can make any particular window give me a nav bar by hitting Ctrl-L, but I would like that to be the default. 2. On Lenny, there was a menu app which, amongst other things, did CPU speed-testing. I believe it also showed the properties of the various hardware (processor, memory, hard drive, etc). Is that still available? I can't find it on the menus (alas, I can't remember the name; I only had Lenny for a few days). Thanks in advance for any advice, -PT

I can't find it on the menus (alas, I can't remember the name; I only had Lenny for a few days). It's called hardinfo and you can check whether it's still there by trying to run it from a terminal. If it's been discontinued, you can always use the CLI standards: lshw, lspci, lsusb, but there are other similar tools you can find in your repositories (just search for related keywords in synaptic). -- Regards, Klistvud Certifiable Loonix User #481801 http://bufferoverflow.tiddlyspot.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

It's there. But worth thinking about is the System Monitor app. It can put 6 customized graphs in your panel. Then some nice extended info and System Monitor itself is a right click from there. Then there is cpufrequtils, which has a nice panel app. I used it to extend my battery life by around 10% without any drop in performance that I have noticed. -- Kind Regards, Freeman Microsoft is not the answer.

If you open the gnome configuration manager (gconf-editor), go to apps - nautilus - preferences, and check the box next to always_use_location_entry, it might work. In my 90-seconds of testing, it seemed to work. Hope it helps / johan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
