Thank you everybody for your help. One more question please. If I later choose to remove cairo-dock, with it not showing in the package manager, would it just be a case of deleting it from the /home/.config directory, or is there a better way?

Excuse my ignorance, but when I pisi list-components PardusUser I get a long list of programs followed by - FIXME. There are programs that I might like to install in the list, but they are not available. When I pisi list-available PardusUser there is a list of just fourteen programs. How do I make components available? |

I think I may have found the answer in the ArchLinux Wiki, I suspect this also applies to Pardus:
"HAL mounts your volumes under /media/some_folder. To determine what some_folder should be it uses the label of a volume or, if the volume does not have a label, it uses the volume's type (eventually followed by a number if the directory already exists), for example: /media/disk, /media/disk-1 ..."
Since the last batch of updates my system automounts all my drives, where previously it was necessary for me to do this manually after each boot, therefore there would be no need for HAL to create the folders.

Previously my media folder contained links to my other drives. I have an NTFS drive which I had named WindowsJ (from an earlier setup) that contains mostly music and video files. When I used the Dolphin file manager the drive appeared in the pane to the left along with the other drives and partitions. If I clicked on WindowsJ in this left hand panel it would open the folder /media/WindowsJ. This folder no longer exists, and I am getting errors from JuK and KTorrent telling me so. As I said, it's not disastrous, I simply redirected them to /mnt/sda1 instead.

Assistance / Pardus for beginners / SOLVED Problem with hal

Yesterday, Pisi alerted me to the fact that there were 81 upgrades available. I had a quick look through the list and decided to proceed with all upgrades. Whilst the upgrading was taking place I loaded a word game using wine and proceeded to play as I have done hundreds of times before. When I finished playing I clicked the button to exit the game and found myself with a black screen with just the cursor showing. I tried to restore the GUI using what little knowledge I have, but eventually had to Ctrl-Alt-F1 to a command line and log out of Pardus. Upon reboot I discovered that my /media folder is empty except for an empty document ".hal-mtab".
It's not a major problem at the moment, as I can access all drives and partitions through /mnt.
Is it something that ought to be corrected, and if so how?

Welcome David, I am a relative novice myself, but since I started using Pardus and KDE4 I have felt no need to boot into any of the other distros that still lurk on my system. Hope it all works well for you too.  |

Assistance / Pardus for beginners / Positioning widget SOLVED
|
on: November 01, 2009, 20:04:44 PM

Sometime recently the time/date widget changed appearance in my taskbar. It used to sit nicely in the corner, but now centralises itself in the available space. I tried opening new panels, but am unable to position the widget to the right. Can anybody help? This is how it looks at present. Do you like my Pardus leopard background?  |

General / General topics / Kernel upgrade

I'd just like to say that the kernel upgrade went without a hitch.
To whom it may concern: Thanks for putting the graphics drivers into the repo at the same time, unlike the last distro I used. That was a sure fire guarantee that a novice like myself would end up with an unresponsive blinking cursor on a black screen.
