open with menu empty

2005-09-25 Thread Mike Dobbs

I'm running sid amd64.  In gnome (2.10) natalus right clicking on open
with other brings open a nice window with no applications, only a custom
command option.  Does anyone else have any default applications to open
a file with?

If so how do I go about getting some options other than custom.

thanks

Make sure that your tuner is set to use the proper NTSC/pal and frequency 
table.  This should be in whatever software your using example xawtv.

Re: apt-get vs. dselect

Forget dselect.  Debian has moved to aptitude.  I think it's very nice. 
Take a look at the man page.  Takes about 5 min to learn.  Very handy if you 
run unstable.

Hi all.  I should maybe spend more time in the archives but just
looking for quick responses.

I assume others running Etch noticed the large amount of updates
today.

When I run

apt-get update;apt-get -u dist-upgrade

I get a similar but different set of changes than if I use 'dselect'.

Just curious about this.  For instance, apt-get shows me

245 upgraded, 36 newly installed, 36 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

whereas dselect yields

231 upgraded, 26 newly installed, 49 to remove and 3 not upgraded.

I'm sure there may be as many opinions as colors in the rainbow but
can't help to wonder which is "better".

Thanks,

Paul


Do us all a favour.. and take a look in the archives, or take google and
search for these kind of questions.
It is hardly a matter of "what is better", then "what you find more
handy" or "what you find to work with in a more comfortable way".
