[opensuse] KDE 4.1
by Phil Burness 29 May '08

29 May '08

Where can I get KDE4.1 for SuSE 10.3? I've looked on 1-click and it gives me KDE4.0, the repositories at SuSE give 4.0.4 for stable and 4.0.80 for unstable. Thanks Phil -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] RE: REXX scripting language
by Hechler Family 29 May '08

29 May '08

Coming from a 24 year mainframe and midrange background and being left hanging out to dry - slowly, why was REXX never made mainstream in Linux? To my knowledge, it is still heavily used In production in shops that still have the mainframe and midrange, as a crossover / cross interface tool with Windows and Linux. In my usages, I did some simple things, like, build a text based horizontal and vertical bar chart report writer converted from BASIC, to my most complicated was to read 370 object code and re-create to 370 Assembler Source -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding Associate Member of the Piano Technicians Guild Reed Organ Society Member St. Louis, MO 63034 (314) 838-5587 dahechler(a)charter.net www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com -- Home & Business user of Linux - 9+ years -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Determining the Version of SUSE
by Rick Bilonick 29 May '08

29 May '08

I just obtained an HP 2133 with Suse. How can I determine the exact version of Suse? I would like to install R (http://www.r-projects.org) which has rpms for SUSE. Can I use yum? I'm used to Fedora and trying to become familiar with Suse. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

It's now lost in a long string of messages, responses, and so forth, but this all started with a completely virgin install of 10.3. Not an upgrade, but completely new install on a fresh partition. Where did you get flash-plugin from? I do not see it in any repository. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I didn't find it, Yast did. And the only things it knows about are OSS, Non-OSS, the original CD, oh, and VLC. Curiouser and curiouser...

[opensuse] RE: Best fit Windows windowing between KDE vs Gnome
by Hechler Family 29 May '08

29 May '08

Preface: I'm planning on starting a program by which anyone that will try it, giving the potential new client a version of the LIVE CD to play with and hopefully be a new convert. I have several in mind already since they've recently gotten burnt by buying a system with Vista. Most are on the fence between MAC and Linux. And not to start a posting war because I know there are pluses and minuses of each .... What version of windowing best resembles Windows - KDE or Gnome. -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding Associate Member of the Piano Technicians Guild Reed Organ Society Member St. Louis, MO 63034 (314) 838-5587 dahechler(a)charter.net www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com -- Home & Business user of Linux - 9+ years -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] AWK -- Strange chars used as separators in a CSV like file
by Greg Freemyer 29 May '08

29 May '08

All, I have a CSV like file that uses the octal single byte char 024 (or cntrl-T) as a comma and 0376 as a quote char and . I need to strip off the last column and discard it, so I thought I could use awk to do it something like. export FS='\024' awk '{print $1,$2,$3}' my_file > my_output It seems to still be useing a space (' ') as the field separator. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I've also tried FS='\\024' FS='\0376\024\0376' FYI: This may be a one time need and it is only about 500 lines, so using vi to manually do it is acceptable, but the text within the quotes can be very long, so it is hard to work on visually. The good news is that cntrl-T (\024) should never appear within any of the actual fields.

[opensuse] 11.0 w/Gnome....how's it stack up to KDE 4.0?
by Fred A. Miller 29 May '08

29 May '08

Since I'd be playing with 11.0 with KDE 4.0, and it's not gone well, I thought I'd at least give "equal time" to 11.0 and the most recent Gnome. I've always disliked Gnome. For those who haven't taken a long good look at the most recent Gnome....you should.

That's what I searched on, along with "Linux". There's enough there to search Google on, since that's how I resolved the issue. I just don't recall the message now as I've updated the kernel and resolved the problem on my laptop.
