>I need it for our product QA purposes. Maybe you can ask from your clients then...? Otherwise SUSE 8.1 will be harder to find than Windows 95. NOTE: please use "reply to all" instead "reply" to reply to the mailing-list instead of me.

font problem in any browser
by Sunny 08 Oct '06

08 Oct '06

SuSE 10.0 x86_64. The behaviour described below can be seen in any browser I tried so far - firefox 1.5.0.7, Opera 9, Mozilla, Konqueror, even IE under wine: Looking at this page: <http://www.testprepreview.com/modules/basicoperations.htm> the 3rd and the 5th box are not displayed correctly: the misplaced character is the division sign, i.e. the 3rd question should look like: (9 : 3) x (8 : 4), but instead the division sign, something like comma is displayed ",". On windows all is correct, both in IE and firefox. So, I downloaded the .js file, which generates the boxes: <http://www.testprepreview.com/modules/basicoperations.js> Reading it, shows that they force Symbol font for this signs. So, I copied from my windows installation this Symbol.ttf font and installed it on SuSE, using ControlCenter/FontInstaller/Administrator mode. Now, I see the font, I can use it in lets say OO, it is listed with fc-list, but ... this still does not fix the display of that page in the browsers. And yes - I did restart tne browsers. Actually I did restart X as well, just in case. Any idea what should I do next? -- -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap.

by vinayan K.P 07 Oct '06

07 Oct '06

Hi all suse gurus, Hope someone could help me in problem with my RAID1 setup. I am following Jason Record's article on Novell Cool solutions. I followed the article and could set up my RAID1 but when I restarted the system I could see that only one meta device has both the submirrors active and the other two has only one. Before restarting, my # cat /proc/mdstat was as follows --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md3 : active raid1 sda3[1] sdb3[0] 210571904 blocks [2/1] [U_] md2 : active raid1 sda2[1] sdb2[0] 29366720 blocks [2/1] [U_] md1 : active raid1 sda1[1] sdb1[0] 29366720 blocks [2/2] [UU] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Before restarting, my # cat /proc/mdstat was as follows ======================================= # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md3 : active raid1 sda3[1] sdb3[0] 210571904 blocks [2/2] [UU] md2 : active raid1 sda2[1] sdb2[0] 29366720 blocks [2/2] [UU] md1 : active raid1 sda1[1] sdb1[0] 29366720 blocks [2/2] [UU] ======================================= Why did this happen and how can i fix this problem? Is it something to do with /boot/grub/menu.lst file? I would be really gratefuly if someone could help me out. Further it would be really nice if someone could send me the email id of Jason Record so that I can directly ask him. Regards Vinayan k p

Notebook X setup.
by Peter Nunn 07 Oct '06

07 Oct '06

Hi folks. I've just finished installing opensuse on my notebook and have it all up dated and going with Xgl all happening with the NVIDIA card, which is fantastic... BUT... it will only work on an external monitor. If I try and boot to the machine without the external attached, I get a blank screen. According to SAX its setup for an LCD, but it seems to turn the LCD off and function key switching does nothing to help. Any ideas? Ta. Peter. -- Use Computes?.... ...Think IT!

KMail composer, Attachment -> View with OpenOffice.org...
by Johnny Ernst Nielsen 07 Oct '06

07 Oct '06

Greetings. SUSE Linux 10.0/Kmail 1.8.2/KDE 3.4.2 b (all shipped versions/no changes from my side). When attaching an odt document (OpenOffice.org text) in KMail's composer, and then right cklicking the attachment and choosing View, I would like OpenOffice.org to start and show the document. How can I tell KMail to do this? The correct mime type is automatically set by KMail in the attachment properties. In general, how do I tell KMail what programs should be used to show different document/data format attachements in the above situation? Best regards :o) Johnny :o)

RE: CF wireless issue
by Martin 07 Oct '06

07 Oct '06

Hi expert, I'm having difficulty to find out why all of sudden my CF wireless card is not being recognize after reboot. I need to run Yast2 to get it working again. Also, I can't mount FC memory card due to /dev/hde1 is not valid device error message. This one I can fix by loading ide_cs module but it is always missing after reboot. Would anyone give me advice what should I do to fix both issues? Thx, Martin
