where is the gedit dictionary?

I'm running FC13 with a gnome desktop. Does anyone know the name of the
file for the dictionary used by the gedit spell checker and where it's
stored?

gedit uses aspell for its spelling checker

Actually, the easier way is to do the following:

yum reinstall NetworkManager*

and it will replace the existing NetworkManager.

I actually don't understand the issue you are facing.  Your machine has
some OS installed in the harddisk or are you working entirely off of a
liveCD?

Harish


Actually, I think it's a hardware problem with the Dlink PCI wireless card.  Reinstalling NetworkManager was the first thing I tried. I've done two cold reinstalls with the same results.  The Puppy Linux is a live CD. By now, there are no remaining traces on the Puppy Linux. I'm going to remove the Dlink card and have a look at it.  Once in a blue moon, even reseating a card makes a difference.  I don't believe it's a Fedora problem because on both the reinstalls the Wireless-G USB dongle works just fine.  To me, it's just gotta be a hardware problem.  I expect to fix it today.  Will keep you updated.

F14 New Installation: Unknown Monitor

Hello Fellow Users,

after installing F14, the monitor resolution defaults to 960x600,
whereas my BenQ FP 757 has 1280 x 1024. There must be some
interface (or driver?) problem, since Preferences->Monitor does not
allow me to change to the desired resolution. I did not find any hints
on how to proceed in the docs.fedoraproject.org F14 installation guide.

Any help to a linux learning user would be appreciated.
Burkhard

mplayer doesn't like me again

It doesn't  tell me my computer is too slow,
it just gives me a rather pixelated image.
People look like there made of burlap.

The output from mplayer has two things
that look like error messages to me.

> Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared
> object file: No such file or directory
> [vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 1

and

> [VD_FFMPEG] DRI failure.0.051 ct: -0.030   0/  0 ??% ??% ??,?% 0 0

I don't even know why it looks for VDPAU.
I have a GeForce card.
Presumably things would go badly if it found libvdpau_nvidia.so .

Once upon a time, I  knew what DRI failure meant,
but I've forgotten and googling turns up questions but no answers.

/var/log/Xorg.0.log includes, among other things:

> [ 86356.565] Dac detection success
> [ 86356.565] (II) RADEON(0): Output: DVI-0, Detected Monitor Type: 0
> [ 86356.565] Unhandled monitor type 0
> [ 86356.565] (II) RADEON(0): EDID for output DVI-0

from mplayer -V, the last lineis

> vo: x11 uninit called but X11 not initialized..

Any ideas?

That depends on *which* GeForce card you have.  vdpau will only help you
if you have a GeForce 6 series card or later *and* are running with the
nvidia driver.  The more later, the more it can help you.  If you are
using nouveau or nv, you can't benefit from vdpau support.

DRI = Direct Rendering Infrastructure.  It is the main support for 3D
acceleration in X11 these days.  In the video world, DRM is the Direct
Rendering Manager.  Wikipedia is your friend.

Whoa!  This looks like you have a Radeon card of some sort.  Radeon is
made by AMD these days (used to be ATI).  GeForce is made by nVidia.

Yeah, I get this message from both my laptop and my desktop.  The former
has an ATI chipset, the latter an nVidia one.

What is in your /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf file?  It should show the vo
options it will try and use.  Mine uses:

vo=xv,xvidix,

and I don't have those problems....  The man page for mplayer for video
output options.  You can override by using the -vo command line option.
See what works best for you.

Do you have an old config file hanging around in ~/.mplayer ?

Try renaming ~/.mplayer and start mplayer again.

The problem did turn out to be the wireless PCI card.  Took it out, cleaned it, put some Pro-Gold on the contacts, reinstalled it and we're off to the races.
