[opensuse-factory] eee-pc hotkey support not up to date..?
by Oddball 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Hi, As i used this page: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_on_the_EeePC#ath5k , to orientate myself to install opensuse 11.1 on eee-pc, i noticed that it is not up to date anymore.. Is it possible to get the hotkey support for 11.1/11.2 in some online repo? F1 to F9 are most important.... ;) many thnx if someone would look into this... (many eee-pc owners on the dutch pda- forum are very interested in opensuse on eee-pc..) -- Have a nice day, Oddball, aka M9.

[opensuse-factory] OpenOffice-3.0.99.3 x86_64
by Markus Koßmann 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Today factories OpenOffice was updated to 3.0.99.3. However the *extensions*x86_64.rpms didn't made it into factory ( these packages are available in OpenOffice.org:/UNSTABLE). That causes nasty dependency problems ( one option is to downgrade to i586 because the i586 extensions are not missing). Is there any problem with these packages or is the problem only that they weren't propagated to the factory repo ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Please Ristretto back instead of Gimp for opening images from browser in 11.2
by Oddball 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi, Ristretto is just plain, simple, scalable, simple zoomable, and for all very fast. Gimp is like opening photoshop to vieuw one picture... To vieuw a pic, you need a vieuwer, not a manipulator.. ;) (gimp takes ages to load, cluttering the screen with unnessesary windows...) I guess you all know that, and it wil be build problems or something, and it will be back soon? -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.) (Now or never...)

[opensuse-factory] I think we have a record!
by Fred A. Miller 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

It's been OVER 5 weeks now, and we can't update our beloved OpenOffice, because the packager can't seem to get the 5 "extension" packages over their dependency issues!! Can we expect that to happen in the near future, or do we have to wait for 11.2?

[opensuse-factory] pulseaudio integration
by Tamas Sarga 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I sent a letter to opensuse@, but I haven't got any reply, so I try here, maybe someone can turn me to the right direction: I don't have the resources at the moment to test a new install, so I ask here. The way how pulseaudio integrated into the system is different with new install and upgrade from 11.0 to 11.1? I did an upgrade, and I had to configure gconf to hear anything from Amarok. Flash plugin doesn't have sound also. I found a good page http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup . I played some hours while I localized the source of problem, which caused a soundless Amarok. So my question is what decision was made about pulseaudio. If it will remain and this non-integration is not the fault of my upgrade, than some work would be nice on this side. Please write your thought, how this situation should be resolved. By documentation or to make it works out of the box? I'll try to spend time to this problem, so I want to help. On the other hand, if Pulseaudio will be removed from 11.2, then nothing to do.

[opensuse-factory] Difference in install behaviour, bug, or intended?
by Oddball 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hello, Maybe, it is not the right place, but i think it is... As i installed 11.1 some 6 times in a few days, on eee-pc-901, i noticed some strange things: Installing from images: to me, very unpleasant installing: lots of noise from dvd-drive. Disabled: very smooth, quiet, noiseless install. When i change to ifup, before trying networkmanager first, there is no internet test, and no updates are done. Additional: there is no sound. When i first try networkmanager, let it fail, and than change to ifup: internet test, and updates being done before first login, and, sound works normaly. And believe me, these things are consistant. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.) (Now or never...)

[opensuse-factory] How to dis/enable a bootloader?
by Oddball 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hi, Since i bought an eee-pc, i am again confronted with XP. Today i exchanged the original 16GB ssd, for a faster 64GB runcore ssd. Now i am able to dual or triple boot on a bigger drive. (sd card does not realy perform) As this os (xp) and i do not realy get along, i used Norton ghost to be able to backup my fully upgraded and tuned XP, to be able to restore the image without any fuss. The whole operation, complete with installing the xp-backup image, took me little less than half an hour. The case is that Ghost does not support bootloaders, but performs great. 1) Is there a way to easily disable/enable grub? As XP is the first on the drive, it would not be difficult to boot when the original mbr is reinstalled, as i allready tried that... (it is in the boot dir, and not in /var/lib/yast2/backup-boot_section/mbr, by the way, as in the release notes from 11.1 is stated...) or: 2) Where should grub be installed for the least trouble? And in case XP would stop booting, which can have many causes, but mostly a virus, i will have to reinstall the original mbr, and restore the backup. After that use an installation dvd/cd, to reinstall grub, or something like that. thnx for a useble answer..

[opensuse-factory] Snapshot 11.2 A0 x86_64 is quite unstable.
by Oddball 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hi, As this is a snapshot, i do not know whetter to file bugs ot not. Strange selecting problems in tbird, ff, and Oo after some time, keybord failure: figures cannot be typed, as if shift is pressed. Selected items, like mail, won't open, scrolling does not work. No normal reaction from keyboard after coming back from screensaver. in this way that you can type, but entering does not return, only mouse works with some comment: wrong password. The second time doing the same, unlocks the screen. Sometimes relogin works, sometimes not. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.) (Now or never...)

I have seen other posts, that if you're getting gimp, then it is likely a user misconfiguration, I disagree. I have a pretty clean install of 11.1 with KDE 4.2 from the stable repo. Download a jpg via firefox then double click on it from the download window and I get gimp. I agree, gimp is overkill for a default image viewer.
