OOo/ZIP Associations
by C Hamel 30 Dec '04

30 Dec '04

I note that on SuSE 9, 9.1, 9.2 the OOo/ZIP file associations are frelled. Out of the box, the *.sxw, *.sxc, *.sdw, etc., all have the ZIP icon and when I edit the file type I find that the OOo files all have the *.zip extension listed, rather than the extension that they actually are. When I correct the OOo extension in the 'edit file type' area and supply the correct icon, all ZIP files replicate that change ...and vice versa when I operate on the ZIP file type and correct it. I am extremely weary of this problem! There just has to be an answer to this... or is it a *major_oversight* on the part of KDE, SuSE or OOo (whoever is responsible)?? -- ..."Yogi" CH Namasté Yoga Studio Closed 15DEC - 3JAN

POSIX Threads
by Jerry Feldman 30 Dec '04

30 Dec '04

I'm planning on giving a talk on POSIX threads programming in the near future. I have just about everything I need, but I would like a relatively simple graphical example, especially one that uses C. I'll probably use SuSE 9.2 with NPTL on my single-processor laptop. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf(a)blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

KMyMoney vs. GNUCash vs. MoneyDance
by Jerry Feldman 30 Dec '04

30 Dec '04

I have been using MoneyDance for years, but my queries to their support email address have not been answered regarding being able to upgrade at their upgrade price. I was going to run a kmymoney test, but for some reason, when I click in import/QIF, no dialog box comes up. I'm currently running KDE 3.2.3. When I went to import a QIF file in GNU Cash (1.8.7), it failed with a parse error, "data for number or date does not match a known format". In any case, I was curious to see if anyone had used both GNUCash and kmymoney and could render an opinion. Or, if someone had converted from MoneyDance to either. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf(a)blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

Another Kdevelop question
by Mike Adolf 30 Dec '04

30 Dec '04

I've managed to configure the my kdevelop project so that I get no undefined references when doing a build. HOWEVER, I do not get an executable. The only message I get is: "Exited with status: 2". What can you do with an informative message like that? Help! Mike

Printing woes on SuSE 9.1
by Pierre Patino 30 Dec '04

30 Dec '04

Hello everyone I originally sent this to the amd64 list but perhaps these problems are unrelated to the kernel/processor. Two hours of RFM and Google and I can't solve these: 1) I can't print from the gimp -> tons of blank pages. Even after turning accounting off in /etc/foomatic/filter.conf 2) No print quality choices (plain paper, grayscale, medium quality color, high quality color, photo etc) on any other application (OO, mozilla, etc) The printer is HP Photosmart P1000 which worked very very very very very well under my old SuSE 8.2 system with absolutely no need to download anything from the web. I've got both a foomatic_hpijs queue and a CUPS-GIMP queue which test well. In a possible answer to #2, do I have to create manually a queue for every single print quality choice? I never had to do that before! Any help from a printing veteran? Cheers and an Exciting New Year

Kdevelop linking question
by Mike Adolf 29 Dec '04

29 Dec '04

I am new to Kdevelop and constructed a C project with multiple subroutines and references to C library functions, like fmod. I am letting the IDE do everything is automake mode. All compiles OK, but a build gives unsatisfied references to all my routines and all C lib routines. To see what was going on, I made a simple C hello.c using the Project New 'wizard' included <math.h> and add call to fmod. Again, doing a build gives a reference error for fmod? I thought the IDE in auto mode would take care of finding the correct libs? Any Suggestions? Mike

Is 9.2 the last version of SUSE Pro we are going to see?
by Andrew Betts 29 Dec '04

SUSE Linux Professional seems to have disappeared from the Novell site as a product. Does this mean support is going to disappear soon? Should I, as a desktop user, start using Novell Linux Desktop? -- Andrew Betts
