Hi all.. I have lost my head (again)

I uninstalled the suseplugger due to apt-get complaining on it. But now lost the hotplug facility. My USB Webcam isnt found as i plug it in..

Where is the suseplugger located? I want it back. (Complete with the nifty little icon in the "systray")

K menu -> System -> Desktop Applet -> SuSe Plugger. Rich -- C. Richard Matson

It a part of the kdebase3-SuSE-9.1 package. Run Yast -> Software Installation and search for it.

Hmmm. I had thought that suseplugger asked "what new stuff does SuSE have?", whereas it was hotplugger that asked "what new stuff does my system have?"

That's susewatcher.

What *does* suseplugger do ?

It looks for hot plugged USB devices or CD/DVD media insertion and launches an appropriate application when detected. -Ti

Some people on the list have stated that you can safely install the kdebase3-SuSE package from the command line with the rpm --force option.

Be warned though that after doing this apt-get (and YOU) will complain about conflicting packages each time you try to install new updates so you may have to uninstall and re-install the package each time you try to use these tools.

Or.... you can add the line: Ignore {"kdebase3-SuSE"; }; to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/apt.conf ie: // with "apt-config dump" all settings can be viewed Acquire::CDROM::Copy "true"; Debug { pkgRPMPM "false"; } RPM { // Hold (do not update) a list with pkgs: // Hold { "k_deflt"; "sane"; }; // Leave list empty to disable Fake-Provides { "" } Ignore {"kdebase3-SuSE"; }; Options { }; Install-Options ""; Erase-Options ""; Source { Build-Command "rpmbuild --rebuild"; }; } and apt will ignore kdebase3-Suse -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos

Is there a way to get equivalent Ignore {} functionality for those of us using YOU?

Please, trim your quotes. Yes, (partially), but it's a *bad* idea. --force WARNING, in *most* cases this is a bad idea and if you did not know about the "--force" parameter, you do not know enought about yast to use it. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
