Polarizer question again
by Jim Sabatke 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

I've got an old linear polarizer that fits my 8080. It seems to "mostly" work, except some shots don't focus right. I keep hearing 2 opinions on polarizers and digital cameras, on is that only SLRs need a circular, and that ALL digital cameras need circular. Is there a definitive answer? -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

I recall seeing an interview with Nat that talked about blending the best of both worlds. I can't imagine them scrapping KDE altogether, however, I can see Gnome becoming the default in the installer. In other news.... http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/04/08/02/1427243.shtml?tid=163&tid=143&tid=1 02&tid=218 -----Original Message----- From: Steve Kratz [mailto:steve@townnews.com] I'd like to see the press announcement too... If SuSE decides to not provide all the KDE goodies OOTB, other distros will start looking nicer...

[SOLVED] SuSE 9.1 K3B burn cd as User
by burgeke＠HQ.VerizonWireless.com 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

I know we have been going back and forth about how some can't burn CDs as a normal user but rather, only as root. I did post a workaround in an earlier thread some weeks ago. It was to simply upgrade cdrecord from packman's site and set perms on cdrecord and cdrdao to run as root. That solved all my problems... Anyway, thought I would dig into the root of the problem instead of taking that route on this new install I just did. Same external Iomega CDRW (predator) USB drive. I had the same problem with a fresh SuSE 9.1 pro install with all patches from YOU applied; I could only burn as root. Here was my fix: ** In /etc/fstab add "users" to the options for /dev/cdrom ** In /etc/resmgr.conf add "scsi" to the "add /dev/cdrom" line to look like this "add /dev/cdrom desktop paride scsi" Worked like a champ after that. Note: Not sure if the fstab mods were needed or not. The modification of fstab alone did not resolve the problem. It wasn't until I fixed up resmgr.conf and booted that I was able to burn as a user. Hope this helps someone else with external USB burners. Regards, Keith Burgess P.S. I dug the net like crazy for documentation on resmgr and came up empty. Might look at the source shortly to see if I can understand the options in resmgr.conf and what they do.

I think I screwed up glib
by Jim Sabatke 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

SuSE 9.0 Pro install. OK, it started innocently enough. I wanted to get an add-in for gimp2 to compile. The libraries were screwed up. So I downloaded, compiled and installed glib 2.4.5. Then GTK apps started complaining: (Gecko:31584): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "qtpixmap", Most apps seem to run, but have a funky theme that's annoying me. But more important, what did I screw up? In trying to fix this, I also compiled and installed: librsvg 2.5.0 atk 1.6.1 gimp 2.0.3 gimp-print 4.2.7 gnome-themes 2.6.1 (rpm from usr-bin-org) gtk 2.4.4 pango 1.4.0 QtPixmap 0.28 Geramik 0.26 gimp-devel-2.02 (rpm from usr-bin-org) gtk2-engines 2.2.0 (rpm from usr-bin-org) gimp 2.0.3 and I can't compile: gimp 1.3.2 I see this message on google, but most are queries that were never answered, and the ones that were are not helpful.

CD question
by James Hatridge 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

Hi all... When I first started burning CDs (about a year ago) I used very cheap blankos from "Real" here in Germany. They seem fine for data, but I noticed last night that the mp3 and ogg files that I made are now very hard to hear. It's like someone turned the volume way down. Is there anyway that I can fix this? (My wife is very pissed at me <G>).

Re: [SLE] MP3 Player recommendations for Linux

I am no pro but I I use Xine because it is usually installed on SuSE/Red Hat by default. Has always worked well and should be Open Source??? My problem as always is getting my damn sound cards to work under Linux. ;-) Go to: http://freshmeat.net/projects/xine Here is the writeup from that link: About: xine is a free multimedia player. It plays back CDs, DVDs, and VCDs. It also decodes multimedia files like AVI, MOV, WMV, and MP3 from local disk drives, and displays multimedia streamed over the Internet. It interprets many of the most common multimedia formats available--and some of the most uncommon formats, too. All those features come in a reusable library (xine-lib) which can easily be embedded in your applications. --------------------------------------------- Jonathan Hughes Technical Support Specialist Goodyear South Africa --------------------------------------------- MCSE / MCP Registered Linux User # 362669 ============================================================================== When my parents finally realised that I was kidnapped, they snapped into action immediately: they rented out my room. -Woody Allen ============================================================================== The information in this e-mail contains confidential and / or proprietary information and is intended solely for the addressee.

Ximian2 - Need the monkey out
by Alfredo Cole 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

Hi: I am running SuSE 8.2 Pro, and installed Ximian 2 using instructions posted on Novel's site. The install went fine, and Ximian runs fine also. The problem is that installing any new software using Yast results in numerous dependency problems, to the point that I can not install nor update any packages now. Is there a way to uninstall Ximian and get my system the way it was before? Thank you. -- Alfredo J. Cole Grupo ACyC www.acyc.com - www.clshonduras.com
