graphics tablet
by Primm 28 Oct '06

28 Oct '06

Hi everyone I've a Genius 5"x4" graphics tablet with a pen which I can't get to work. The mouse works fine. I've tried yast but to no avail. There is no documentation as to which parameters I should type into the extensive Yast pen setup dialogue and whilst Genius have not refused Linux help it has not been forthcoming. Could anyone help me with getting this tablet to work or failing that, recommend a model which *will work? OpenSuSE 10.1 TIA Steve.

[opensuse] RE: /temp diretory
by Intrusion Detection Account 000 28 Oct '06

My /tmp directory is growing with various logs and contains many other files - Ordinarily I would have NO hesitation in periodically deleting the contents of most /tmp directories however as I relatively new to Linux I am concerned if this will cause problems. I ask the same question about the /var/tmp directory which grows and grows with significant impact to the amount of space its taking up. There are a massive number of sub directories below /var/tmp as well as an abundant number of files in that directory.

Something wrong with the mail
by Basil Chupin 28 Oct '06

28 Oct '06

Something is wrong with the mail in this mail list--I received just one solitary message about 45 minutes ago posted by Matthias Hopf and that's all there has been all day. No mail in this list nor in the OT list. I just looked at the archives and see that my post timed 06:44:44 25/10/06 (thanks John for your evaluation) got through and John Anderson responded to it (and someone else had a good laugh as well) but none of those messages have arrived here as yet. Those who are not having trouble getting mail from this list, would you please check if there is some sort of a problem with SUSE's server? Thanks. Cheers. -- I'm dangerous when I know what I'm doing.

[opensuse] automatic printer configuration changes?
by Janne Karhunen 28 Oct '06

28 Oct '06

Hi, I've now seen it several times that for some reason SUSE automatically changes printer configuration. And most times to something that does not work. How is this possible? This seemed to happen yesterday to my HP Color Laserjet 1600. This printer seems to require using foo2zjs (http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/) instead of foo2hp recommended by linux- printing.org. I had that installed, but yesterday printer stopped printing -> it appears that now system was trying to use non-working foo2hp. How can this happen? -- // Janne --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Cron reports, even though I don't want them!
by Anders Norrbring 28 Oct '06

28 Oct '06

I'm a bit puzzled, I have this in my /etc/sysconfig/cron: SYSLOG_ON_NO_ERROR="no" SEND_MAIL_ON_NO_ERROR="no" My "problematic" script is updating my AV, the cron script is this: 49 */2 * * * root /opt/eset/nod32/sbin/nod32_update 2>&1 > /dev/null Still, I get a mail from each and every update, successful or not. If I run '/opt/eset/nod32/sbin/nod32_update 2>&1 > /dev/null' manually, I don't get any output whatsoever to the screen, so what's going on here? -- Anders Norrbring Norrbring Consulting

easy way to enter this symbol:￥
by 张韡武 28 Oct '06

28 Oct '06

This symbol is very important to me, it means Chinese money, RMB or CNY. I use it everyday on OOCalc. How do I enter this symbol? The old way is to keep it in tomboy (a memo application) and copy & paste it to OOCalc when I need it. Windows (Chinese version) has a special feature to enter this symbol easily. Other symbols I don't know how to enter in Linux are: 1. 、 2. 《》 These symbols are very frequently used Chinese punctuations. They are all available in Windows as 'software keyboard' that when enabled, each key is replaced by a Chinese punctuation. Thanks to this interesting feature, currently no Chinese keyboard actually implement these punctuations as separate key. P.S. I tried to look for them in char-map but is not able to find them easily. The way I keep using is google-for-it-and-copy&paste. P.S. Use UTF-8 charset if you cannot see my example punctuations correctly. If your font doesn't include these punctuations, try use GNU Unifont or check the screenshot I made and attached to this email. -- 锐业软服（国内业务） http://www.realss.cn Real SoftService http://www.realss.com 销售咨询(Sales Department): 0086 592 20 99987 (Chinese, German, English) 国际业务(International Sales): 0086 10 8460 6011 (German and English) 联系：厦门大学科技园，嘉庚二号楼6楼邮政：厦门大学2312号信箱（邮编361005）

[opensuse] RE: verification of files
by Intrusion Detection Account 000 28 Oct '06

28 Oct '06

In DOS there was the ability to verify a singular files integrity by using chkdsk c:/file.dos......The result indicated if the file integrity was so. There was also the ability to set in the Autoexec.bat set verify=ON - which made sure that EVERY file that you copied you did not need to use the verify option C:\file.dos C:\temp\file.dos /v My questions are 1. Is there a global set verify=on in Linux? 2. Is there the ability to verify a single files integrity as above with a similar command such as chkdsk The reason I ask is that I recently lost my home directory and I had KDAR backing up the /home directory every week to an NFS drive. When I came to restore the archive the files header was reported to be corrupted. Also as a backup I copied with Konqueror the /home directory to an NFS drive and some of the files are aslo now not readable due corruption. I have made an Enhancement report to both Konqueror and KDAR that they include a verify option like most backup programs. Over many years I have seen backups unable to be restored because verify was not turned on. Now its happened to me.I understand the file system in Linux is far superior in its disk I/O but I dont want to waste time backing up if I cannot ensure the files are intact.
