How to know physical hard disk usage?
by Shriramana Sharma 08 Oct '05

08 Oct '05

I need to know which sectors of a partition are occupied with data and which not, like the display on Windows defragmenters. How to do this? (SUSE 9.3 and 10 RC 1) df, du and KDirStat don't help me here. Googled some, but no results. Maybe I was using the wrong keywords. Can anybody help me? Thanks. -- (o- Penguin #395953 lives at http://samvit.org //\ subsisting on ancient Indian wisdom ... V_/_ and modern computing efficiency! :)

I was trying to setup SuSE 9.3 and 10 so as to have https work I tried using Yast2 which seemed to work correctly but soon there after using my public_html directory gives me this. _______________________ Access forbidden! You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server. If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster. Error 403 ____________________________ This in apache 1.3 and it less convoluted http.conf files I could have found it and fixed it. However, in Apache 2 i don't have a clue. I thought I found in /etc/apache2 edited it a restarted apache2 - no improvement Any clue? It did work and now it doesn't. -- 73 de Donn Washburn Hpage:" http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB Email : " n5xwb(a)hal-pc.org " 307 Savoy St. HAMs:" n5xwb(a)arrl.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador LL# 1.281.242.3256 " http://counter.li.org " #279316

favicon.ico for openSUSE.org

Will a favicon.ico be added to the website? I tried to make one as a proposal, but it just looked like green slime. :-( houghi -- You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely.

Konqueror doesn't allow me to delete a file I have full rights to
by Shriramana Sharma 05 Oct '05

Please see: http://home.ripway.com/2005-2/258162/temp/konqueror-is-krazy.png which is a screenshot I uploaded upon the bizarre phenomenon in which Konqueror says that I cannot delete a file which I am the owner of. See the owner column - I am samjnaa. It is a file on my Windows partition (soon to be extinct...) Please advise me what to do? SuSE 9.3, KDE 3.42, Pentium 4, 80 GB HDD. -- (o- Penguin #395953 lives at http://samvit.org //\ subsisting on ancient Indian wisdom ... V_/_ and modern computing efficiency! :)

Feature wishlist: Comment on Gnome and KDE selection
by Andreas Jaeger 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

This is my comment on the following feature: http://www.opensuse.org/Feature_Wishlist#Gnome_and_KDE_selection Such a comparision is difficult to do. We added something since the later betas where we do a rough job comparing them and show the logos instead of the tiny thumbnails. The choice of desktop is so subjective and personal that it's difficult to give a neutral comparison. If anybody has one, I'll appreciate it and review it. Note that we're currently not making a choice for the default desktop, this is a choice that the users have to do. I'll add this comment - and my others for the feature wishlist - on the wiki as well and appreciate feedback, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj(a)suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

Feature Wishlist: Comment on ATI-cards support
by Andreas Jaeger 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

As mentioned last week, I'm going now through the feature wishlist and like to give my comments, here's the comment on: ATI-cards support We're currently testing a solution simila to the Nvidia solution where you download the needed files. Note that the ATI drivers are not open source software, I would love to see both the Nvidia and ATI drivers as open source, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj(a)suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

Menus in GTK aps are black?
by Clayton 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

I updated two computers (both running SUSE 9.3/KDE) to the latest stuff available in the apt repositories - I installed the old cairo in a different directory, added symbolic links to libcairo.so.1 so apps based on the old cairo will still work etc. Everything is working except all of my GTK based apps (GIMP, Gaim etc.) have black menus. They open as a black box and of course.. the text is black as well. Running the cursor over the menus will highlite each available menu, making it readable/usable... but... not practical. Anyone else getting this? Any suggestions for a fix? C.
