Fools walk in...recently, I upgraded Kubuntu from Gusty Gibbon to Hardy Heron. Wanting to take advantage of this rare window of spare time, I decided to upgrade everything that had upgrades ready. All at once. How could I be so stupid? Uhh!
(I guess you know where this is leading.)
I didn't expect that the group upgrade would download any beta programs, but, I ended up with Firefox 3.0b5. This is not a problem, because, the only glitch I've seen is a very minor problem with radio buttons requiring an extra click. However...
problem 1:
A few days later, I noticed that my sound was gone. I suspect that it's been gone since the upgrade. Somtimes I hurry and don't notice things and wasn't working with sound files during said few days.
In System Settings, advanced tab, System Servies, alsa-utils is set to not start at bootup and is shown to be not running. I'm guessing this doesn't matter, but, I'm not sure.
problem 2:
In Dolphin and only in Dolphin (not on the desktop, not in Konqueror), when I mouse-over an html file, I get the following prompt:
Quote:
The desktop entry file
/usr/share/apps/d3lphin/servicemenus/amarok_addaspodcast.desktop
has an invalid menu entry
addAsPodcast.

Following, are the contents of said file:
Quote:
[Desktop Entry]
ServiceTypes=text/html,text/xml,application/xml,text/rss
Actions=addAsPodcast
[Desktop Action addAsPodcast]
Name=Add as podcast to amaroK
Name[de]=Als Podcast zu amaroK hinzufügen
Icon=amarok
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=desktop_dolphin
|
I can't open an html file from Dolphin. I'm stuck until I clear away the prompt window. They open just fine when using Konqueror.
I really don't know what to make of this. I don't know what is the invalid menu entry. Given that the offending file has amarok in it's name and in it's contents, could it be that problem 1 and problem 2 are the same problem?
It's a home built box, xfx mobo, 3 GHz Pentium D, xfx nvidia graphics card, 2 GB RAM, 500 GB Seagate hd, on-board sound, DVD ROM and floppy drive.
Any suggestion would be greatly welcome.
