Re: [Utopia] some remarks on gvm

[ChangeModeKernel <cmkrnl speakeasy net>]

Hi,

My CDROM/DVD icons look just right.  CDs and DVDs show up looking like 
CD media.  Plus the context menu uses "eject" not "unmount" for CD/DVD.  
Do you you have a firewire or USB CD/DVD?  All of my CD/DVD drive lock 
the eject button with mounted media -- which I hear is sort of rare :-)

As for my Utopia config -- on Fedora Core 2,  I am still running
gnome-vfs2-2.6.0.j5.hal-8 (which is old but will run on FC2 / Gnome 
2.6)  ** I thought this is were those icons were set..
The other stuff is pretty up-to-date
hal (hal-0.2.97.cvs20040819-1)
dbus (dbus-0.22-4)
gvm  (gnome-volume-manager-0.9.9-1)
udev (udev-029-4)
My system is what I call FC2+ since I've only updated the critical 
things (besides the kernel) to get the utopia stack working. I have a 
couple of other updates like kudzu (so that the fstab-sync is proper) 
but other than that its pretty vanilla.

What  versions are you running?  --- I just looked at a previous post of 
yours saying you are running Slackware 10 -- if that is the case do you 
have a patched gnome-vfs2?  That is absolutely required to get the 
"Computer" items to work correctly with the rest of the Utopia stuff.  
(It also makes the kudzu moot)  If not, Mr. (J5) still has the 
gnome-vfs2-2.6.0-j5-hal-8.src.rpm available, so you can get the needed 
patch there and rebuild your gnome-vfs2 -- just a thought -- or are you 
running Gnome 2.7 soon to be 2.8?

Plus I have to agree, this is great stuff. This is what has turned Linux 
into a real usable desktop.  (Now if I could just get a working kernel 
so that the OHCI driver and usblp with the nFORCE2 chipset will talk to 
my printer. -- but that is definitely Off Topic)
