gpm broken
by meister＠netz00.com 26 Oct '05

26 Oct '05

Hi, I just recognize that copy and paste with gpm between virtual consoles did not work anymore. I press CTRL-ALT-F3, mark some text, press CTRL-ALT-F2 and click with the middle button of the mouse (press the wheel). It only inserts the first marked char and some spaces... On Alpha1 this worked AFAIR. -- mdc

inst-source-java and inst-source-extra for EDGE
by Robert Schiele 25 Oct '05

25 Oct '05

Hi! Are there any chances we get inst-source-java and inst-source-extra for EDGE in the near future? Especially without the second one the EDGE distribution is not really useable on many machines because of the missing *-nongpl modules.

Tomcat 5.5
by Frank Steiner 25 Oct '05

25 Oct '05

Hi, since there isn't a inst-source-java for 10.1 alpha2 yet, I can't check myself: Will tomcat 5.5 be included in 10.1? 10.0 still features 5.0.30 which is way too old for our needs :-) Is it already known, which tomcat version 10.1 will contain? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.

Useable mirror of SL-OSS-edge (post Alpha2) ?
by Hans-Peter Holler 24 Oct '05

24 Oct '05

Hi, ftp.opensuse.org has too many users. I don't expect something else. Directory of http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-edge/inst-source/s… takes 45 minutes to load. No chance to get a single rpm in valueable time frame. ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-edge has a timestamp 2005-10-23 05:59 (something new ?) but permissions drwx------. ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-edge (the nearest, I live in Erlangen) is open and fast but outdated.

Alpha2: myComputer opens amarok
by meister＠netz00.com 24 Oct '05

24 Oct '05

Hi, if I click the myComputer icon on the kde-desktop, it opens amarok. If I open a konqueror and enter "media:/" it shows my partitions/disks. In myComputer.desktop is written: URL=media:/ If I create a new icon pointing it to "media:/" it also opens amarok. In kcontrol->KDE components->filetypes I changed the order of apps for media/hdd_(un)mounted to show up Konqueror as the first entry, but this did not help. BTW: all entries in media have amarok as first entry... How to make the myComputer-icon show the partitions/disks in konqueroro rather than opening amarok? -- mdc

by Peter Czanik 23 Oct '05

23 Oct '05

Hello, I can't find boot.ppc.iso any more. I use rsync to mirror inst-source, and I saw from the logs boot.ppc.iso to disappear. Why? Will be there one? Bye, Peter

23 Oct '05

Hi, every time I login to Alpha2 as user (kde), the "Welcome to SUSE Linux 10.1 Alpha" shows up. I click "close", but on next login, it is shown again. Anyone else with this problem? How to disable? -- mdc
