That's what I thought since it is an OOo question but was told that my distro group would know better. -- The informed Little Helper ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Currently using SuSE 9.0 Professional with KDE 3.1 Licenced Windows user ========================================================================

xorg 6.8.1-15.4 via apt
by Kyek, Andreas, VF-DE 05 Jan '05

05 Jan '05

Hallo, habe gerade mal wieder ein "apt-get update" und ein "apt-get -s upgrade" und siehe da: Er bietet mir nun xorg zum update an. Was mich dabei verwirrt: a) ist das wirklich 6.8.1 oder (wie ich vermute) 6.8.2-RC1? Der Name entspricht nämlich den Namen, die ich im supplementary Zweig auf gwdg.de für 6.8.2-RC1 gefunden habe. b) wenn ich die Pakete anwähle (in synaptic) will er einen Haufen Pakete deinstallieren; u.a. cups, ghostscript, kdegrapfhics etc. Was ist denn hier los? Das sind doch Pakete für SuSE 9.2, oder? Hat die schon jemand installiert? Andreas

Re: [SLE] kscd autoplay

Hi Hans, Other than the fact that it's not behaving like you want it to, this is kinda funny. It's exactly the opposite of a problem I'm trying to solve. I can't get KsCD to autostart at all for Audio CD's. But maybe you could try looking at the SuSE Hardware Tool in your tray. Right click and Configure. Disable autostart. Enabling didn't work for me but who knows... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hans du Plooy" <hansdp(a)newingtoncs.co.za> To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] kscd autoplay Date: Mon, 3 Jan 2005 12:13:38 +0200 > > On Monday 03 January 2005 12:12, Lee Ross wrote: > > I stuck a cd in and up popped the kscd interface.

Broadcom RAIDcore SATA cards.. anyone tried on SuSE?
by John Grant 05 Jan '05

05 Jan '05

Anyone tried one of these on Suse 9.x and/or a 2.6 kernel & care to venture an opinion? I've seen (very) brief remarks like "it works", but not much more. I'm interested in getting one to experiment with (on a non-production box) if it is otherwise working/stable. TIA... ( http://www.broadcom.com/products/product.php?product_id=BC4452 for more info )

arts still broken
by B. Stia 05 Jan '05

05 Jan '05

Hello SuSE people, FYI downloaded a bunch of updated stuff using apt last night for 9.2 on my x86_64 system. That included the latest arts. System sounds then would not work. Reverted back to arts-1.3.1-3 (again) and all is fine now. Bob S. PS Is there a later rpm of the susefaq? I have 0.5-0

Permission problem with rsync -a
by Paul W. Abrahams 04 Jan '05

04 Jan '05

I've run into an interesting problem with using "rsync -a" to back up a directory. Some of the subdirectories I'm backing up have write permission turned off. The result seems to be that rsync can't install the files within the corresponding backup directories. It's logical enough, I suppose, but very inconvenient. I can get around it by not copying permissions -- but is there a better solution? Paul
