gnome-session - Linux Command - Unix Command

gnome-session - Linux Command - Unix Command

My Ubuntu sessions were freezing up when I logged in and it took a while to figure out what was up, but the only consistent item was that certain files would attempt to start. However, if I started in safe mode all would work fine, or if iI started in Kubuntu that would work as well. So I searched for info on the Fail-safe mode and found the above linked article.

The useful piece for me was:

gnome-session uses the contents of the ~/.gnome/session file for starting up as specified by the "Current Sesssion" key in the ~/.gnome/session-options file. Various default values are provided in case the file entry does not exist.

If the session file does not exist, gnome-session will use the contents of the
/usr/share/gnome/default.session file.

With this information I found the session file and edited it removing the ids of the files that I believed were causing the problem, logged off safe-mode and then back on in regular Gnome and it was fixed. :o)

More Ubuntu Notes and Thunderbird

I've had a bug in Ubuntu the last few days with Gnome-Panel. The panels would freeze up after selecting an item. It seems to be related to the more customized versions instead of working with the existing items, so I reverted back to the originals and moved all my launchers ( After getting them prettied up and moved just to how I liked them...oh well not a major loss all is working again and I can move on to bigger and better stuff).

As mentioned in an earlier post, I tried out several blogging tools to make posting easier, so that perhaps I would get more entries up. After trying the 3 and only getting 1 to really work, I figured I would go back to this method of posting via email. This is a much nicer and easier way to post.

Although I've been a long time fan of Firefox, I hadn't given Thunderbird its fair chance to prove itself. What I have seen so far these last few days, I've been very happy with the add-ons are great to work work with I just haven't figured out a way to get the tool bars to share icons between the editing of an email and the inbox, more to play around with later. Using Freepops as well has really been a great addition. Although I am mixing it with YPops at the same time and seems to work alright.

Finally got Juice working and I like the music player Exaile, but I am being tempted to try out Songbird... I looked at it briefly the other day and looks as clean as iTunes or perhaps RealPlayer with the home page info.

How about a picture attachment

If I recall correctly attachments won't work.

Putting in a smiley here to test this:

Testing blogging from Thunderbird

I know that I can email into my blog, but I would like to test the formatting. My default settings for emails are blue comic sans.
