usb Datatrasfer only 20KB/s
by Raimund 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

Hi there, on my System (OpenSuSE 10.0) is the Datatrasfer to my usbstick very slow (aoubt 20KB/s). Die device is automatically recognized and mounted. mount returns the following: /dev/sda1 on /media/usbdisk type subfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,fs=floppyfss,procuid,utf8=true) On the usbstick is a fat filesystem. On other Systems it works very well, the same the oher direction (from stick too hd. is ok.) Does anybody know what could be the reason of this slow datatrasfer? thanx a lot.

Programming Resources
by Rajko M 27 Feb '06

27 Feb '06

Hi, There is missing something that is useful for advanced users and would be developers. That could be named "Programming Resources" as Linux is really rich. Where to hook that in name space, logical place would be under: http://en.opensuse.org/Developer_Documentation Please let me know your opinion. -- Regards, Rajko.

opensuse.org frontpage lift-up/redesign
by q uestion 25 Feb '06

25 Feb '06

I don't know what's going on behind the scenes, but where is the marketing side and the Novell/SuSE knowledge involved? OpenSuSE has important goals and at the moment the frontpage it THE portal to openSuSE. Current subject acknowledges there is demand to improve the frontpage (or even the site) to better match the goals. Since Novell supports the project and it is in both OpenSuSE and Novells interest to make the project succesfull by using all resources provided. So far I have only read vague plans to start the lift-up / redesign and mainly targeted to hope to get some ideas/help from the starting community. This sounds nice if the project was started by the community from ground up, but this is OpenSuSE. We already have a large user/knowledge base from the corporate years besides the fresh open community. The SuSE website was very good for years, build to attract. Novell/SuSE adapted the concepts and there it is still strong. Novell and SuSE have done a good job so far to make (open)SuSE attractive by use of their very well designed websites and their marketing knowlegde. It is not hard to imagine why there is demand for a lift-up/redesign with this in mind with the current wiki look-and-feel and where to get some solid startup help for this? Maybe this sounds not-done from community perspective to make it really a community project, but OpenSuSE needs a good and solid start with help from both sides. Greg Mancusi-Ungaro should be available for the marketing perspective for the lift-up and there must be some talented Novell/SuSE design staff.

page naming and translations
by jdd 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Hello :-) The translation guide (I beg, not verified) say that the names of the pages should be translated. This is nearly impossible if we need a consistent localized wikis. This is a proposal to cope with this. * the need of translating the name localized wikis are done mostly for people not able, not willing or not wishing to read the english one. Such people will probably be upset to see english title bars. Don't forget that the page name is also the main title of the page (and displayed so). So we need to translate the name. * the need to keep the english name It"s mostly for easy the interwiki links process. If any name is translated, interwiki links become a one by one control process. If ever an, said, spanish page is done from the english one _after_ I already translate the french one, I will never know and so fail to link it. However the solution is pretty simple: It's to keep the english name for a page only containing a redirect. There are two ways of doing so. first create the english name page, then move (rename) it, the redirect is done automatically. or second if the localized page is already there, create the english name page and fill it with #REDIRECT [[localized page]] Then in all pages, translated or not :-), add [[en:englishname]] [[sp:english name]] [[de:... [[fr:... (all the localized wikis) so as soon as the link will be created it will be activated in the sidebar. Is not active, it will be shown as a red "see also" link at the bottom of the page, wich if not really disturbing. jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

Proposal for the (German) Starting Page
by Sven Burmeister 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Hello! I intended to create just a page for the categories of articles available in German, yet ended up with something like a start-page. It uses the arrangement of the German wikipedia frontpage. Since wikipedia has been around for some time, people are used to it and I thought there was no need to re-invent the wheel. It is not finished yet, but before I put more effort into it and the page ends up being rejected, I wanted to ask whether this looks good as a proposal for the German startpage, or whether I should just stick to categories-pages. http://de.opensuse.org/Startseite Sven

categories in template
by jdd 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

I made a small change in the IW template, I think is interesting http://en.opensuse.org/Template:IW http://en.opensuse.org/Templates remember that this template, inserted at the end of a page, setu the interwiki links for all the localized wikis. I added a category in the template; Attention, this don't show, you must edit the template to see it (and it's why I make this post) the result is that as soon as a page with this template in get edited it show in the http://en.opensuse.org/Category:IW page. jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

OpenSUSE_Style_Guide
by jdd 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Why do the style guide don't comply with the wikipedia way of life? http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Style_Guide "Start with just one = and not the double ==. For example:" http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Section#Creation_of_sections "Please do not use only one equals sign on a side (=text here=); this causes a title the size of the page name; which is taken care of automatically." the wikipedia one seems more logical. jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos
