by Nelson Seto 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hi, I am trying to locate the base development rpm for an i386 machine in opensuse.org. On the following link http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/suse/ I am able to see i586, i686, ia64, noarch, setup, x86_64 supported. does one of these subdirectories support a i386 machine?

[opensuse] How do I control power management CPU frequency scaling in OpenSUSE 11.1?
by John Lange 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

My Laptop CPU frequency scales even when plugged into AC power and I'd like to disable that feature. How do I do that in OpenSUSE 11.1? The "Power Management" tool in "Control Center" only has options for the display and suspend settings, nothing for the CPU (It used to be there didn't it?). The CPU frequency widget in the toolbar also does not have an option to disable scaling. I know I can probably echo something to /proc but I'm looking for the desktop GUI way, not the command line.

[opensuse] News Article - Re: Novell and openSUSE
by Kai Ponte 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-10173667-16.html Novell's $340 million lifeline from Microsoft appears to be losing its potency. Although Microsoft originally gifted Novell $240 million to help fight Red Hat, and later added another $100 million to the pile, it doesn't seem to be enough to revive Novell's fortunes, as the company reported disappointing first-quarter earnings and a slide even in its Linux business, which had been growing fairly well. "The pipe fell apart," declared Novell CEO Ron Hovsepian, as The Register reports. That's an intriguing statement, as other open-source companies with which I work have seen their pipelines grow tremendously, as enterprises look to open source to save money and boost productivity through the downturn. Novell now plans to cut prices aggressively to increase its market share, according to Hovsepian. Part of the problem, however, is that Novell isn't really an open-source company, and it doesn't pretend to be one. Most of its revenue comes from proprietary software, and that software didn't deliver in the first quarter. -- kai www.perfectreign.com | www.ecmplace.com www.twitter.com/PerfectReign -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Is this still the case with openSuSE kde4? [Fwd: Re: [Quanta] upload profile passwords]
by David C. Rankin 03 Mar '09

Listmates, I had asked earlier if fish was working under KDE4.2 and everyone said yes. Has anyone gotten it to work with quanta??? Here is the discussion from the quanta list recently: -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Quanta] upload profile passwords Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 15:23:25 +0100 as others said, fish won't work. alternatives: - use sshfs - put your files in a revision control and update on the server instead of uploading Niko On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 2:51 PM, Sasha Andric <sasha(a)goldnet.ca> wrote: > Recently I switched to kubuntu and kde 4.2.

[opensuse] Simple mail server
by Manne Merak 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

We need a simple mailserver: POP3, IMAP, Simple web interface for off-site reading. Simple Web interface config (our Win IT guy must be able to use it :) Active Directory integration (not a deal-breaker, but again the Win IT guy will love to have it) I like Zimbra, but its a bit bulky and they decided to drop support for OpenSUSE in the future. Others looked at but either to complex to maintain or no useful config interfaces: KoLab, Scalix, OpenXchange, eGroupware Did I miss some? Im sure I did.

[opensuse] ctrl-alt-backspace in 10.3 vs. 11.1
by Henrik Schmiediche 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hello, I realize the ctrl-alt-backspace behavior changed in 11.0 where you need to hit ctrl-alt-backspace twice to kill the X server. In 10.3 when I ctrl-alt-backspace the X-server/KDM is killed and restarted, but in 11.1 when I hit ctrl-alt-backspace twice the X server/kdm just drops into console mode no X-server/kdm restart. Does anyone know how to get the old behavior back (X-server/kdm restart on ctrl-alt-backspace)? Where is this configured?

[opensuse] Error downloading new theme for plasma...
by Mukul Singh 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hi, When I try to download a new theme, I get the following error : "Could not load data providers". I think it is something to do with the company firewall blocking the access. Can anyone please suggest a way to overcome this issue? Regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

On my son's laptop, I went to reboot this morning. (I was trying to see why I couldn't connect via ssh.) On boot, I got a message that /tmp was full and that the desktop manager would not start. What do I do? It won't let me login. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com || www.filesite.org XCJNaWNyb3NvZnQgaXNuXCd0IGV2aWwsIHRo ZXkganVzdCBtYWtlIHJlYWxseSBjcmFwcHkg b3BlcmF0aW5nIHN5c3RlbXMuXCIgLSBMaW51 cyBUb3J2YWxkcw== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
