Monday, the 10th, my provider was offline once again. Some repairs were needed at Bell/Microsoft's CO. So I thought it was time to write a letter which I had postponed. Two hours later, the service was back and I did some research. When I came back to my text, I saw it was blank except for the date and the recepient's name and address. I closed AbiWord and was asked if I wanted to save the text. Of course, I... didn't, but most newbies would have: man, you've got to save whatever is left of that file! Whatever changes I later made were never saved: the text always came back to the previous version. I had to finish the text offline. Thereafter, it's with video that I had problems. At Radio-Canada/Microsoft, nothing would play. I checked Edit, Prefrences, Applications in Firefox and the settings were all wrong. I closed/restarted Firefox, everything was back to normal. But soon, the list of applications was shortened by half and, for whatever was left, the usual defaults weren't available to select. I even had Windows Media Player for playing Windows Media files! Yesterday, the service was off for close to 24 hours at my ISP: the equipment at Bell/Microsoft's CO was really antiquated and had to be changed. That's after they came to repair my line twice in the last 4 months! You can see that Bell/Microsoft really dig that Linux users don't care about market share: they give top service! So, I desinstalled/installed the MM applications and, after some playing around, everything almost "seemed" back to normal... with GNOME-MPlayer for playing ASF/WM files by default. For ASX, I believe Amarok was still suggested :) Since it's impossible to see the properties of GNOME-MPlayer -- a default which looks rather weird, since it's supposed to be only an interface to MPlayer --,I chose /usr/bin/mplayer, but I'm still asked to install MPlayer. Does anybody know the PATH to their default application for ASX files? I really want to give that Bell/Microsoft service another try ASAP.
I want some of whatever you're on, or maybe even lots of it. -- Paul -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
