SuSE AMD 64 bit supports Intel "Core 2 Duo" ?
by Jean-Lin Pacherie 20 Aug '06

20 Aug '06

Is it politycaly correct to ask here if the new "Core 2 Duo" processors will be suported by SuSE 64bit ? I planed to build a server with AMD 64 x2 processor and / or Opteron 275 but the announces of the "Core 2 Duo" chnaged my mind. In any cases, I will keep SuSE on this new workstation but I need the best processor power. Any clue ? Thank's Jean-Lin

Screensaver not working...
by Tom Corr 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

All - I noticed my KDE screensaver has quit running. I can go to kde->configure desktop->screensavers and select any screensaver that i want and they all appear to work from there. I can even right-click my desktop and "lock" my screen, and the screensaver kicks right in. I've even tried to manually run the "kdesktop_lock" program, and it starts my screen saver right up. However, my screensaver does not start automatically after its designated time has lapsed. I have tried this with and without DPMS enabled, with no luck. I have it set to start after 3 minutes. Does anyone have any idea what went wrong? I'm using SuSE 10.1 64 bit with all of the latest updates, on an AMD Athlon 64, with a NVIDIA graphics card. Its a compaq r3000 series laptop.

updates for 10.1
by Rene Salmon 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

Hi list, I am trying to mirror the suse 10.1 distro locally to make it easier for me to install and update all our suse x86_64 boxes. I have managed to use rsync to get a working mirror of Suse 10.1 which I used to install on a bunch of x86_64 servers. I can do this with this rsync line: rsync -avP --delete rsync://suse.mirrors.tds.net/opensuse-full/ /scratch/ The updates directory for updates to 10.1 don't seem to be in this rsync module. Does anyone know where the suse 10.1 updates are located and what the rsync line to mirror it would be ? I found this on the suse site but can't seem to get my servers using yast to check for updates there any ideas? http://suse.mirrors.tds.net/pub/suse/update/ thanks Rene

KDE Icon themes not appearing in Kcontrol
by Joel Wiramu Pauling 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Hi there, I am using amd64 version of opensuse 10.1, and the kde 3.5.3 repositories. I can not no matter what I do get icon themes to appear in the kcontrol icon theme manager settings. I've tried copying the /usr/share/icons dir from working ubuntu installs, I've tired installing via the kcontrol with tar.gz 'd themes. When I do it the latter way everything appears to go ok, unpacks into ~/.kde/share/icons/ fine, but the iconpack just does not show up. What could be the problem here? Is there any way of manually regenerating the icon caches or setting the icon theme path manually. I have thought about just replacing the currently referenced theme SVG-Crystal with my pack of choice, but I know that it will screw up inheritance among other things. Kind regards JoelW

Did you specify a DNS server while configuring your network adapter before attempting to do the install?

Hallo Herr Koch, Ihre letzten Emails an die Liste sind alle wegen eines Verschlüsselungskeys nicht lesbar (zumindest für mich). Das betrifft die Email von 12.12 und von 13.41. Vielleicht wollen Sie das umstellen? "Dieses Element kann nicht geöffnet werden. Der Name ihrer digitalen ID konnte im zugrunde liegenden Sicherheitssystem nicht gefunden werden." Was das auch immer heißen mag :-( MfG Dieter Jurzitza -- ________________________________________________ HARMAN BECKER AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS Dr.-Ing.

Plugin Library Configuration
by Jan Mussche 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

Hi, Since today when I start Suse 10.1 a window is opened like on the picture in this mail. I can't do anything with it, I can't hide it, close it, I can't choose anything, can't type anything in the empty fields: nothing. Because it is on top of all other windows it is a pain in the butt. Does anyone know what I can do to make it not start when I boot the computer, I don't want it, I don't need it. Thanks in advance. Jan Mussche

Puzzling inability to use YOU
by Sheo Shanker Prasad 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

I am using SuSE 9.3. I had always had a very good experience with YOU. However, I am now totally unable to use YOU. It started with the arrival of the update OpenOffice_org:Security fix for Macro execution problem. The update was downloaded successfully. Unfortunately, in the actual installation stage the machine completely hangs up after 3% of the installation. I tried giving the update a time up to 1 hour. It just remains hang up. During that I cannot abort YOU. THe only thing that I can do is to manually turn-off the computer. Several days later, an update for the Linux Kernel arrived. The same problem. The update process hangs up after 36% of the installation. Please help with suggestions about what to do. Thanks for your help Best regards. Sheo (Sheo S.
