Unofficial personal Gutsy2Feisty backborts repository available

I've doing some tweaks and found out that disabling the Multimedia Keys plugin on Rhythmbox allows me to use the Volume Up/Down hotkey without crashing Rhythmbox.

So, there seems to be a conflict between the Multimedia Keys plugin in Rhythmbox and the volume control on GNOME.

Any ideas?

BTW, here's Pidgin for Dapper: http://download.tuxfamily.org/pollyrepo/dapper/ but it's not a repository, just debs to install (dpkg -i *.deb)

It doesn't work!

It says

error while loading shared libraries: libnm_glib.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

picpak, I upgraded from dapper to edgy then to feisty without problems. If you're worried, image the disk first.

That's great, but I seem to be one of the unlucky ones as almost all of my upgrades break, including my mom's from Breezy to Dapper. When I explained to her the upgrading process, she said "Well it'd be quicker than trying to fix this!" (referring to the broken Gaim). She then decided that she didn't feel the need to upgrade just for a messaging program, so now all is well.

does anyone know of a cnetral web site with links to all these handy bacports and extar repos rather then doing a google search and spending your life trying to find them.

a central place like a distro watch but a repo watch would be awesome

There's always the big repository list compiled by my friend Treviño, a well known packager himself

Could you please backport Tracker? It is lots faster than Beagle and it's enabled by default in Gutsy, now.

Do you have an up-to-date list? Wine 0.9.41 was already officially back ported to Feisty. Deluge is now 0.5.4 with an official Feisty deb and Pidgin is 2.1.0 (although you have this one updated in your repo). (Note to everyone else: you can simply check out http://download.tuxfamily.org/pollyrepo/feisty/ to see the software versions before adding the URL to the sources.list file)

Sorry if I sound harsh, just making sure you're on top of things

I am extremely appreciative of your work, especially for Kino and Rhythmbox, Gimp. Thank you OH so very much!

May I ask what you have to do to backport software from Gusty to Feisty? It seems like some of the packages may be tedious to do.

Oh, and what about gEdit? Feisty = 2.18.1, Gusty = 2.19.3
