[opensuse-factory] Editable location bar in dolphin
by Atri Bhattcharya 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

Hi! Any reason why KDE4 on openSUSE 11.1 has an editable location bar in dolphin instead of the upstream default drop-down menu location-bar? The upstream default seems more convenient to me and it is just an option away in dolphin settings, but I am very interested in knowing why the editable one is the default. (This is from RC1 live-cd fresh installation) -- Atri -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] usb 3g card and networkmanager
by opensourcecat 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

Using RC1 i'v succeeded in using a 3G usb card from Huawei (E220) using Networkmanager and KDE. The process wasn't plain plug and play though. Steps follows. Changed the behaviour of the USB dongle to NOT ask the pin code. Networkmanager have a text box where you can insert the pin for gsm card but didn't worked. Estabilished the connection trough wvdial just to get up a serial connection on ttyUSB0. Networkmanager recognised it only at this point and i set up it after this point using networkmanager. Dropped the wvdial connection Configured the ttyUSB0 connection via Networkmanager. At this point the connection succeeded but nameservers wheren't set so i had to modify MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF_STATIC_DNS to get it resolving names. The connection now works flawlessly. I hope it can help anyone working on this. -- ___ Salvatore Brigaglia http://www.kde-italia.org http://opensourcecat.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] RC1 and bluetooth adapter
by Raúl Moratalla 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

I have a bluetooth adapter that works fine on openSUSE 11.0 but in openSUSE 11 RC1 doesn't work. When I run kbluemon I get the following error: No bluetooth adapter found! Unable to start kbluemon. Check your bluetooth adapter or restart the bluetooth service. The bluetooth service is running and openSUSE detects the bluetooth adapter. This is what I get when I run lsusb: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) What could be wrong?

[opensuse-factory] Failing to suspend - now with beeps!
by Kevin Dupuy 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

OK, so openSUSE 11.1 RC1, I try to get my Sony Vaio FW-190 laptop to suspend, (this is GNOME) instead it locks the screen and makes several loud distressed beeps. It does not suspend the computer. So what do the beeps mean, and how can I diagnose the problem? Before my upgrade to RC1, in Beta 5.x and earlier suspend was working fine. -- Kevin "Yeaux" Dupuy - openSUSE Member Public Mail: <kevin.dupuy(a)opensuse.org> Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays from the Yeaux! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
