get rid of GNOME 3 recent items ......

Posted 07-02-2011 at 03:37 AM by dEnDrOn

Tags gnome3, privacy, recent items, restart, windows

when u press windows key and search for anything.......some recently used items too pop up and they may sometime really risk the privacy.....
all you have to do is just delete this file--->

Code:

.local/share/recently-used.xbel

and then restarting computer(or ALT+F2+r+ENTER) removes recent items but they are again visiible......to help you again
could have been much simpler...

this bluetooth bug in fedora 15 GNOME 3 troubles in bluetooth file tranfer.
u can't actually turn the visibility ON and hence none of the devices can see your system to transfer a file via bluetooth.
you just have to run these commands to sort out the problem....

Code:

systemctl status bluetooth.service
sudo systemctl enable bluetooth.service
sudo systemctl start bluetooth.service
