I AM using a desktop PC. After this, you run Yast --> Network Devices --> Network Settings to manually enable "User Controlled with NetworkManager". You then select the Hostname/DNS tab, and type in the "Hostname" field opensuse When I log out and restart my system, it should switch to opensuse. It DOES NOT in openSUSE 11.3 RC1. However, in openSUSE 11.0, 11.1 and 11.2 I CAN RENAME the hostname. Any thoughts? => Rename the hostname is fine in my laptop, and I still a little confuse what's the relation that the hostname setting with 'Hardware ID'?

[opensuse-factory] KDE SC 4.4.5
by Mariusz Fik 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

KDE SC 4.4.5 has been released today. It's the last update for 4.4 series. We ship KDE SC 4.4.4 with oS 11.3 and it can't be updated now due to features/version freeze (done some time ago). And I'm fine with it. I hope other are fine too ;) But... Will KDE SC 4.4.5 go to update repository for 11.3? Similar story has a place for 11.2 and we got KDE 4.3.5 (the final update for 4.3 series). The main target was update for SLE and thanks to that oS got this updates too. But now, what about 11.3? -- Pozdrawiam / Best regards, Mariusz Fik, openSUSE Community Member

[opensuse-factory] KDE touchpad configuration lets me use only one finger
by Michael Schmuker 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

I can't enable two-finger scrolling in the touchpad dialogue in systemsettings. In the panel "Touchpad-Informationen" (german localization), it displays that my touchpad recognized only one finger. I can't change that value. But my touchpad can do more and two-finger scrolling works perfectly when I enable it via synclient or xinput. So probably this problem is due to insufficient detection of hardware? I'm on a Lenovo Thinkpad T410s. Anyone else having this problem? Cheers, Michael P.S.: Already a while ago I submitted bug 612834 and updated it today accordingly: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=612834 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Re: [opensuse-packaging] 11.3 is not factory
by Peter Czanik 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

Hello, 2010-06-29 16:37 keltezéssel, Stephan Kulow írta: > If in doubt, please ask me in IRC and don't worry :) > A libnet related problem came up just this afternoon on the syslog-ng mailing list. It is an UDP checksum calculation bug, which renders a syslog-ng function useless and might also have security implications. The libnet version used in openSUSE (1.1.2.1) is affected, version 1.1.4 is not. I guess, it is too late for a version update, but I was told, that most distributions use this simple fix: http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/89/384197/30/90/threaded Can I still create a patch from the above fix and issue a submit request?

[opensuse-factory] Two Huawei modems fail the same way

I have Two Huawei sticks, E169 and E160. Both work fine in 11.2 (already got them to work in 11.0) When plugged into 11.2 VBox host they both work fine, both in XP and W7 guests. But in 11.3 factory guest they both fail.

Hello Listmates, In previous versions of openSUSE (by default), enabling the NetworkManager switched from "hardware id" to "Host Name". Hardware ID: CPE0xxxxxxxx-CM000xxxxx Host Name: opensuse In openSUSE RC1 it no longer works. It still uses the "hardware id" !! Can we please fix this now? Cheers!
