Sometimes problems with the visibility of threads in thunderbird
by Joachim Backes
Hi all,
I'M running thunderbird-24.6.0-1.fc20.x86_64. Sometimes (rather often,
but not always) having problems with threads in thunderbird: After
opening a thread, all opened sublines are unvisible, until I move the
mouse pointer over them (without click): then they will appear.
This happens both with ati and nvidia video cards.
Anybody has this effect too?
Kind regards
Joachim Backes

Well that answers one question I had and reduces the manufacturers list
by one.
I *won't* be looking at a Garmin.

Question for Fedora users of Garmin nuvi GPS
by Steven P. Ulrick
Hello, Everyone
I know that I can just go drive to a computer that has Windows
installed on it and get this over with, but I shouldn't have to do
that...
I have new Garmin nuvi65LM GPS and of course the "GarminExpress"
updating program that they force you to use only runs on Windows and
Mac. I tried installing the Windows version using Wine, with no luck.
I then successfully installed GarminExpress in a virtual machine of
Windows 7 that I have installed on Virtual Box. When it tries to
detect my device, it says that it can't...
If they would just let me/us manually download and install updates, I
wouldn't care if I can't use their Windows based application.
So, if any of you have succesfully updated any Garmin GPS that forces
you to use "GarminExpress", please let me in on your secret.
Thank you,
Steven P. Ulrick

SImple amp for F20
by Robert Moskowitz
I am looking for a simple amplifer program.
I have looked at audacity, but I would have to be 'recording' to get
'playthrough'. There is supposedly a .vst plugin, but I have not found
it yet.
This is for my wife to be able to have a simple amp (using my little
Asus Eee900) for when she is playing her guitar and needs a bit of a boost.

Make .desktop file show up?
by Tom Horsley
I was figuring out how to install an app, and made the .desktop
file for it and put it under /usr/share/applications, but it
didn't show up in the gnome 3 search till much later (maybe
after logout/login or reboot, I forget when I noticed it
was there).
Is there some magic incantation to make gnome-shell notice
new app .desktop entries right away?
Just curious.

You are the "bridge" between the two galaxies, so you are the most "relevant" among all.
