CDMA connection via NetworkManager
by Terje J. Hanssen 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Hi, I wonder if anybody has got 'CDMA Connection' to work via NetworkManager? I have a D50 USB wireless modem. The driver package, cmotec-qtmodem 1.6 rpm, installs a program, D50 Modem Manager. http://kickback.no/redirectly/5866/228/2004403?dest=http://www.ice.no/UserF… Network Manager get a CDMA Connection line, but NM doesn't seem to be able to connect with the modem. Trying to start the D50 Modem Manager, also this hang without any connection. Rgds, Terje J.

Yes, that would get you exactly to the milestone release and not to the state of factory - which is the same at the day of the release but moves forward until the next milestone comes out, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj(a){novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

Hi, Is every piece in place to start testing 'nouveau' on 11.3 M4? A simple setup procedure would be neccessary.

Which distribution - how to upgrade to 11.3 M4?
by Terje J. Hanssen 29 Mar '10

29 Mar '10

Hi all, 1. Which developer version is really installed/running? Initially I installed 11.3 Milestone 1 from DVD iso, and thought I had seen later upgrades to M2 and M3 after several upgrades with 'zypper dup' several times. But now I became unsure which distribution (Milestone) I really have: cat /etc/SuSE-release openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 1 (x86_64) VERSION = 11.3 cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.32-3-desktop (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.4.2 [gcc-4_4-branch revision 155802] (SUSE Linux) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT 2009-12-04 00:41:46 +0100 Can this really still be Milestone 1 after all package upgrades? How can we verify exactlly which developer distro (Milestone) we currently have? 2. How to upgrade to 11.3 Milestone 4 ? Looking at http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.3-Milestone4/ there is no 'repo' available, just 'iso' and 'delta' Isn't it possible to use 'zypper dup' to upgrade from a previous Milestone to M4? If not, what is the recommended way to upgrade to M4? The M4 delta DVD iso isn't bootable so that one can run an update installation from there (according to my attempt). Rgds, Terje J.

Ricoh xD-Picture Card Controller
by Terje J. Hanssen 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Hi, From what I can see, the card reader in my hp8710w laptop is a Ricoh xD-Picture Card Controller: # lspci | grep Card 02:06.0 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev b9) 02:06.1 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev b9) 02:06.6 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller (rev 10) Entering a 4GB SDHC card in the reader, automatically mounts fine in 11.3 M3 Gnome (similar like a removeable usb disk). But rebooting the system with the card in the slot, freezes the system before reboot really starts, so that a cold start is required. Any similar experience or what the reason can be? I expect this is a bug somewhere? With 11.2 however, the SDHC card doesn't mount at all. Any tip how this possiby can be done in 11.2, lack of driver or other reasons? Rgds, Terje J.

11.3 NET in VirtualBox
by Vojtěch Zeisek 13 Mar '10

13 Mar '10

Hello, I try to run openSUSE 11.3 M3 NET install in VirtualBox. I have one processor for it, 8 GB disc, 1400 MB RAM, ISO image of the CD and direct access to computer's CD ROM. When I run it I choose 'Install' and pres Esc to see messages. When it goes to stage 'Loading basic drivers...', it stops there. It is still running (=consuming CPU time), but booting does not continue. You can see more details in log and configuration in attachment (I hope it pass through conference filter:-) Any idea how to get it to work?

"Kicker" height
by Felix Miata 08 Mar '10

How does one configure the toolbar at screen bottom to some certain px height. I don't seem to be able to find out how one is supposed to change it by dragging either, but naturally dragging is no way to get a consistent size for comparability across multiple users or systems. -- "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.

As far back as I can remember the cog wheel splash in one form or another has always been an option for login splash.

Milestone 3 KDE resizing of installer screens for netbooks

Hello. I am testing OpenSuse 11.3 Milestone 3 KDE on an Asus Eee PC 701 and I just wanted to say that it is great that the installer screens have been resized to fit the 7 inch screen. It made it very easy to install Milestone 3 since all the choice buttons could be seen.
