[opensuse-factory] Status networkmanager-kde4 (KDE:Unstable)
by Rolf Offermanns 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

Hi All, can somebody shed some light on $SUBJ? I am currently running a KDE4:Unstable installation on factory. I tried networkmanager-kde4 multiple times during the last weeks, and it surely is progressing nicely. However, I am still not able to connect to a wireless network and even worse, the moment I install the package, knetworkmanager(KDE3) stops working. Is there a bug/blog/whatever, where the state of networkmanager-kde4 can be tracked? I really would like to use it. :) Thanks, Rolf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] YaST2
by Robert Lewis 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

I want to thank the SUSE folks for all their hard work in producing again another release. I am very well aware that this is an exhausting and enormous effort. I especially appreciate the added efforts that go into improving many of the packages that others contribute and therefor improving Linux for tthe community at large. One such example is the audio and other improvements with Impress from OpenOffice. Ubuntu falls far behind in this area. One question is, when I want to see all possible updates available. I notice that I can go to YaST -> Software management. Then click on Package -> All Packages (or "all in this list") seems to do that. But, I don't think I ever get the chance to review what is going to be updated. (I may be wrong by not proceeding far enough.) It seems a bit scary to do this so I aborted. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] [opensuse-kde] openSUSE 10.2 EOL -> no more virtual desktops in supported openSUSE?
by Felix Miata 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

On 2008/11/30 04:46 (GMT-0500) Stephan Binner composed: > the lifetime of openSUSE 10.2 ends today which means that we will remove also > openSUSE 10.2 repositories from KDE:* openSUSE Build Service very soon. The date http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11418 was filed suggests that 10.2 is the last openSUSE version that supports virtual desktops. If this is true, I cannot upgrade. Virtual desktop is an upgrade blocker for me. Anyone else? What can we do? I can't fix 11418. :-( -- "Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain." Psalm 127:1 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-factory] compiz suggestion
by Putrycz, Erik 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

I haven't heard anyone who got compiz working out of the box with OS 11.1. I would suggest letting the installation delete .conf/compiz. Otherwise it doesn't seem to work at all. Maybe also add the SKIP_CHECKS by default? Erik. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Any other time, I have my lap-board that is just big enough for the laptop, a full-length wrist pad, and a regular mousepad on the right. (Also room for a coaster and a scotch on occasion) I don't know if this will do any good, but this is what I have for the touchpad definition in my xorg.conf and the output from hwinfo. With both Toshiba laptops I have, yast/sax has always configured the touchpad so it is useable. The syndaemon was just the icing on the cake.

Hello, My touchpad is too sensitive on openSUSE 11.1 RC 1. I have played with xorg.conf without any luck yet. Any suggestions? Mine is a AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint according to hwinfo.

Is there any way to configure the theme for gdm? There used to be a tool for it but with 11.1 I cannot find it anywhere... Erik. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

MANY Dell sold in Europe and part of Asia with this chipset AND > Linux preloaded.....I think the model was an Inspiron 1520n. I don't have an Intel GFX card but yes if that is happening it is a big mistake. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be anyone responsible for fixing this 'big picture' stuff, or maybe they're only interested in SLED. Even though OpenSuSE keeps making big strides with many things many of these 'Mistakes' are letting the distribution down making it not worth even considering for some people. Imagine if you had only ever tried 11.1, you would go off and tell your friends it didn't even support an intel 965 chip. I for one am looking round at other distro's, I don't want to move from OpenSuSE and I remain committed to it but there are a few things being done that just seem silly to me and not clever business at all. If I'm looking around, so must others be and I'd really like to avoid that cause OpenSuSE has soooo much more potential than other distro's.
