YAST2 and SUSE 10.0
by Joseph Loo 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

I do not know if this was happening in the previous versions. I found out if you start up YAST2 (graphical version) and minimize it try to logout. I found out that the system keeps on waiting for Yast2 to terminate. Problem since it is minimize, you can not bring it up to close the window. The desktop is basically locked until you terminate Yast2. One way I closed it is to go on another system and login into the system as root. Kill Yast2 and then the system will logout properly. Is there another possible alternative to do this? -- Joseph Loo jloo(a)acm.org

LOL! No, um DOS 3.3 and/or ProDOS, IIRC. The thing is up in the garage somewhere. The thread just started me thinking how I never use floppies anymore. My laptop - running 10.0 - has no floppy drive. I either use my USB key or burn a CD/DVD or just email/ftp stuff on and off the computer. Right now, the laptop is hooked up to my corporate LAN and sharing my local comptuer's hard drive, thanks to Samba. (Let's hope the new CIFS doesn't cause all heck to break lose, when that gets released.) -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part

preventing programs from creating thumbnails
by Istvan Gabor 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

Hello all: Is there a way to prevent programs (kuickshock, who knows what else) from creating thumbnails at different places? I just discovered that my .thumbnails folder contains ~ 30000 thumbnails (png) occupying over 600 megabytes. This is horrible.
