Nautilus and gnome-vfs
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 07 Dec '01

07 Dec '01

I recently installed Nautilus on my Debian woody system ... but it seems to be missing a few pieces. It cannot render html pages on its own. Clicking on Help->User Manual, the html source of the page gets displayed instead of being renderred correctly. Here are the error messages that Nautilus keeps throwing up: ** WARNING **: Can't find description even for "x-directory/normal". This probably means that your gnome-vfs.keys file is in the wrong place or isn't being found for some other reason. ** WARNING **: No description found for mime type "text/html" (file is "/"), please tell the gnome-vfs mailing list. And similar warnings for other mime types ... I checked for /usr/share/mime-info/gnome-vfs.keys and it is in the right place. Since I am using Debian, I am pretty sure that apt has taken care of all dependencies ... What could have gone wrong???

[OT] Pipes & redirection doubt
by Kinjal Sonpal 07 Dec '01

07 Dec '01

Dear friends, While going thru' the chapter of Pipes & Redirection from the *The Unix Programming Environment* (the famous yellow book by Kerninghan, et al) I read that when we use redirection, the system uses some temporary files to accomplish the task. Whereas by using pipes, the overhead of temp. files can be avoided. Can someone throw some more light on it? Like, why shud there be requirement of temporary files, where are those temp. file stored? I tried to find some more details on it in the docs as well as on the net, but the search wasn't very much fruitful. Thanks in advance. Warm Regards, $ sonpal -kj _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

----- Forwarded message from Arun M <arun(a)freedevelopers.net> ----- http://www.keralagov.com/ITpolicy.htm 15. Role of Open or Free Software The Government wishes to encourage the judicious use of open source/free software that complements/supplements proprietary software, to reduce the total cost of ownership of IT applications/solutions without compromising on the immediate and medium term value provided by the application. The Government welcomes research into the use of open/free software in the context of education, governance, and for general use at home, to make IT truly a part of the daily lives of the people of the State. The Government also encourages projects such as the Simputer that is low cost, based on open software, and attuned to the needs of the common man. What about other states ? _______________________________________________ Fsf-india mailing list Fsf-india(a)mm.gnu.org.in http://mm.gnu.org.in/mailman/listinfo/fsf-india ----- End forwarded message -----
