suse window theme/style
by Istvan Gabor 27 Nov '05

27 Nov '05

Hello all: I sent this question to suse-kde list before but did not get any answer so now I'm posting it here. I like(d) very much the default kde window and color style/ theme that was included with suse 9.0/9.1/9.2. In 10.0 the default style is different that I do not like as much. How could I install the style/theme of the above versions onto 10.0? (Currently I'm runnig 10.0 x86_64). Thanks, IG ______________________________________________________________________ KGFB 2006 - Garantáltan a legjobb ár! Nyerje meg az új Swiftet + garantált 10,000,- Ft értékű ajándék.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all: I'm sorry is not the correct list to make this question but I don't know where find some information about the differences between the version of any app I have on my alpha3 and the new version I see on the apt server,packman or suser-guru... For example if I exec smart upgrade I see 246 apps to change,from aaa_base to OpenOffice,all kde, Xorg and yast2... If I don't know that the diff are for security or any other reason... why to change? I don't know if I explain myself with clarity? cheers - -- Chema Ollés Usuario Linux: #198057 Linux 2.6.14-rc3-smp #7 SMP Thu Nov 17 01:00:40 CET 2005 i686 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDiNDG65SpD7GhbzoRAgcYAJ95sUfgeVyTy83M09v+5f507QBaowCfdn4/ wvN4SoKWvdUgeOtsy64EdZ8= =xUT+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Hello, I have a fresh installation of opensuse 10. My motherboard is asus A7N266-VM. Although yast configured the sound card using alsa drivers, all I got was silence. I installed compiled and installed the nvidia oss drivers. I then replaced the contents of /etc/modprobe.d/sound with the foll wing entry. alias snd-card-0 nvsound When I run nvmixer, I get "Nvsound: Unable to open the Mixer" error.

[OT...sort of]Hardcopy or electronic books?
by Steven T. Hatton 26 Nov '05

26 Nov '05

I'm curious to know what people think about hardcopy documentation verses electronic form. For most purposes, such as simply looking things up, I prefer electronic form. For books which are intended to be read from start to finish, or at least large section are intended to be read as a whole, I prefer hardcopy. I find that e-books tend to collect e-dust when I have only an electronic version. Anybody else have a similar experience? Steven

It's usually used for ornamental brassware. It would stop those sauce cans from rusting which they will eventually. For the cardboard Pringles tubes, ordinary yacht varnish would work.
