[opensuse-factory] Life with OpenSUSE Factory?
by John Lange 21 Nov '08

21 Nov '08

I'd like to run Factory as my day-to-day OS so I can help test, report bugs and even fix them where possible, and yes I'm willing to live with the consequences of running the bleeding edge. At the moment I've installed OpenSUSE 11.1b5 x64. I assume that the correct thing to do is to change my repositories to the factory ones? http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss/ http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/non-oss/ http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/debug/ Then run an online update? -- John Lange www.johnlange.ca -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] status factory
by Stephan Kulow 21 Nov '08

21 Nov '08

Hi, We split out openSUSE:11.1 in the build service to generate the RC1 isos out of the official tree (with correct rpm headers and the like). Due to this openSUSE:Factory gets less build power and factory updates will happen less frequently till after 11.1 release. Just so you know.

[opensuse-factory] flash-player with wmode in firefox
by Silviu Marin-Caea 21 Nov '08

21 Nov '08

For the majority of the people reading the list, a short introduction: Many sites nowadays have banners that roll over the text of the article. In Linux you might have noticed that after the banners move away, they leave blank space behind that cover the text, making it impossible to read the page. Also, the same problem is the cause for site menus that open behind flash animations instead of in front (example: http://www.adobe.com ) This problem is caused by a missing feature called wmode (windowless mode) in the flash-player for linux. Well, the latest flash-player 10 RC is supposed to have the feature. There are a few problems though: 0. Flash is still 32 bit. So, to make it work on x86_64, it needs 32 bit libraries of stuff, besides the nspluginwrapper hack Do this: zypper in mozilla-nss-32bit 1. Flash depends on libcurl.so.3. This can be solved by installing libcurl4-32bit ("zypper in libcurl4-32bit") and making a symlink cd /usr/lib/ ln -s libcurl.so.4.1.0 libcurl.so.3 2. Firefox 3.0.1 has a bug that crashes it when running with flash 10rc. Firefox 3.0.3 is supposed to have that bug fixed If you want to try it, get Flash10rc here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html Put libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/browser-plugins/ Run as root (one line): nspluginwrappper --install --verbose /usr/lib/browser- plugins/libflashplayer.so Here it's a small demo for the wmode feature. http://www.communitymx.com/content/source/E5141/wmodetrans.htm Unfortunately, it still doesn't work well with Firefox 3.0.3 from Factory. I don't know why. At least site menus open in front of flash. I think I'll try Firefox nightly builds (Minefield). I think that 11.1 should be released with Flash10, because wmode is an important, functional feature for browsing the web. We should be prepared in case they release flash10 before we freeze, or include the latest RC. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] File save Dialog is a Travesty! This must be fixed.
by David C. Rankin 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

Of all the things I think of that can wreck a desktop, none can surpass that thing that you use most of all -- The file save and file save as dialog. In KDE4, I think I first saw this mess in konqueror when I went to save a web page. I had already saved a similar page and my thought was to choose the previously saved filename and then add -01 at the end of the name and save. As soon as I chose the filename, the dialog immediately closed, selecting the original filename and then immediately proposed to overwrite the very file I wanted to keep. This is the nuttiest half-Gnome bastardization of the very core of a desktop that is wholly unacceptable. A save as dialog has two purposes: (1) allow the user to select a previous file name to 'save as', or to change the name and then save the file contents under the modified file name and (2) to allow the user to type in an arbitrary name and then save the file contents under the new arbitrary name. KDE4's file save dialog has been rendered incapable of preforming this, the most basic of desktop task by some stunning stroke of incompetence. If there is anyone that understands the meaning of a complete and utter show stopper, this is it. Mark this as the number one issue to make sure it is fixed before 11.1 goes any further. I have tried, but try as I may, I cannot fathom in my wildest dreams why anyone would cripple what heretofore had been a perfectly good flawlessly working file save dialog. Shame, shame on you. -- David C.

[opensuse-factory] new variable Background brightness
by John Lange 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

Can someone explain to me how the changing background image is supposed to work? In OpenSUSE 11.1 b5 (gnome), I believe I have the default background (a kind of green 3D-ish look). I've noticed that it appears to change each time I login. I originally was under the assumption that it changed depending on the time of day (Like the Playstation 3 and I'm sure others) but now I'm not so sure. In the morning it was the normal green brightness and didn't appear to change much through the day. Now at nearly 7pm the display is very bright. Last evening it was dark, almost blue. What is the expected behavior? On a related topic, can the background be anything? Maybe video or a terminal, or web page? -- John Lange www.johnlange.ca -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

On 11.1b5, KDE 4.1, I have no mouse control. I'm running the beta under Virtual Box. I also ran 11.0 under VB and currently run Vista under VB. I can move the mouse on the screen, and hover over items. (When I hover, the appropriate behavior occurs in that a pop-up help item will show.) However, I cannot seem to click on anything. Clicking or double-clicking or right-clicking does no good. I get no response back from the GUI. Any ideas what this might be? -- kai www.filesite.org || www.perfectreign.com Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it. - Dee Hock -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
