It requires a restart of the application, and a reboot of the servers is unnecessary and takes much longer. If you need me after hours, you should be able to call or text me on my mobile number. One of the SUSE employees or I can PM you the phone number. I am taking responsibility for this issue (plus I am in the on call rotation for web) so please don't hesitate to call. I only ask that you don't give my number out :) By the way, did I mention that it's fixed for now? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-web] what 12.1 installation instructions?
by Felix Miata 20 Feb '12

20 Feb '12

There don't seem to be any. http://en.opensuse.org/Category:SDB:Installation_12.1 is missing from http://en.opensuse.org/Category:SDB:Installation but that matters little as there's practically nothing useful on it. I would think that an instructions link could be found somewhere in the contents on http://en.opensuse.org/Product_highlights or anywhere on http://www.opensuse.org/en/ but no luck did I have finding any. The reason I went looking is on i865 keyboard fails and screen goes black when the installation GUI is supposed to start, and I don't see anything specific anywhere about need for nomodeset being absolutely necessary to get a GUI installation started on this video chip. I haven't found a Bug filed about it either. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-web] Wiki automatic capabilities for keeping localization up to date
by Stathis Agrapidis 17 Feb '12

17 Feb '12

Hello everybody, Hope this is the appropriate list to ask. In Greece we are trying to figure out the best way to organize the lokalization of the wiki. We are currently translating pages and we have already translated a lot but there are two things we need to figure out: 1) Is there a way to interconnect the translated page to the original one, so that the wiki knows when the original page changes and therefore automatically print a message on the translated one that it might be out of date? Tip: I have already found out how to list the greek one at the bottom left box, which shows the translated pages for it. Question is: Is that enough? 2) The translator knows if the original page changes when it chooses to watch the original page from the "watch" button. Is there a central place where all the outdated pages are indicated? I am asking this because we want to formulate a quality assurance procedure for the translated wiki. That's all for now :) Many thanks in advance for your time, Efstathios Agrapidis (efagra) -- en.opensuse.org/User:Efagra -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-web] Interwikilink zh:openSUSE:Specfile_guidelines
by Wolfgang Hahnl 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

Hello openSUSE friends in the English wiki leads the interwikilink [[zh:openSUSE:Specfile_guidelines]] to the right place. If I use it in the German Wiki on page http://de.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Richtlinien_für_Spezifikationsdateien the entry stays red and doesn't show up on the left side. Does someone know why ?

[opensuse-web] [Wiki] posting images.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Content-ID: <alpine.LNX.2.00.1202151238280.12834(a)Telcontar.valinor> Hi, At <http://en.opensuse.org/Help:Editing> it says: ············· [edit] Adding an image Images can increase the clarity of an idea better than text alone. To add an image simply link to it with [[File:Someimage.jpg]], save the page, click on the red link and use the Upload file form to upload the image. ············· When doing that, I get to a page that says: ············· [[File:File.jpg]] to use the full version of the file [[File:File.png|200px|thumb|left|alt text]] to use a 200 pixel wide rendition in a box in the left margin with 'alt text' as description [[Media:File.ogg]] for directly linking to the file without displaying the file ············· I'm using the second version. However, the image does not appear on the left margin, but a small image inside a box that covers the entire width of the column. Is this right? Are there more posibilities, like an image with text flowed around? (I'm writing <http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Offline_upgrade>) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse-web] HCL namespace needs FalggedRevs
by Rajko M. 09 Feb '12

HCL namespace needs FalggedRevs. Although it is not much used it will be better of if it is equipped with revision control, so that volunteers to maintain it have tool to provide dependable information on such pages. Here is a bit dated request, but it is better ever then never :) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=683964 -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner(a)opensuse.org
