[opensuse-project] discrimination in suse irc channels
by Druid 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

Hi fellow opensusers, I was in the #opensuse-project channel and I have seen something very shocking happening: < suseROCKs> Beineri: No I'm an American. We kicked Brit ass 232 years ago and we're still gloating about it. Well, I ask you all, should we put that kind of push on british opensuse users? I kid you not, what should we do? Push them to other distributions more friendly to british linux users? That's wrong, in my opinion. What should we do about it? Best regards Marcio --- Druid --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] SuSE 11 - Monitor missed during install
by Peter Boomfield 20 Jul '08

20 Jul '08

I have just performed a fresh install of OpenSuSE 11 on a box previously running 10.3. The install went fine until the hardware configuration page. At this point no monitor was found to setup. The graphics card, printer, sound card etc were all found, but the monitor was missing. The monitor is a ViewSonic E70f, and the graphics card is an ATI Radeon 8500 series. Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this. Cheers Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

by Martin Schlander 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

I'm just writing to inform that a common nordic irc-channel has been created. #opensuse-nordic on the freenode irc-network. The official languages of the channel are Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. People from Finland, Iceland, Faroe Isles, Greenland, Schleswig-Holstein or other places, who read/write these languages are of course more than welcome to join also. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

I'm not in the position of having the chance to speak with ISVs myself unfortunately. I only relied on what seemed to have been communicated on the LSB face-to-face meeting. It might be good if we had more application vendors (and also open-source project maintainers) speaking up on this issue in the general or the particular proposal.
