Konqueror Image Preview - JPG
by PerfectReign 25 Oct '06

25 Oct '06

I messed something up on my 10.1 laptop. I changed the default behavior for .jpg files to open with KView instead of whatever the default was. Somehow I now can no longer preview jpg images. Prior to this, I would be able to see a small thumbnail of .jpg files in konqueror. Also, when I mouse over them, the thumbnail is enlarged. Now - for JPG files only - I see a picture-type icon. I still see a preview for other image files such as png or gif. What do I fix? -- Kai Ponte www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request

The supplied version of KSynaptics on the cd/dvd (0.2.4) is broken in that respect. If you add: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/cboltz/SUSE_Linux_10.1 as an installation source you will find a functional version (0.3.1). Alternatively, you could use the commandline configuration utility synclient (which comes in the x11-input-synaptics package) to discover which options are available for the device and which values you need, then put them in your X11 config file. ---------------------------------------------- I've taken the second route. Adding synclient calls to my .profile seems to have got this under control. Only remaining thing is that I can't see how to disable the edge scrolling feature. That said, I'm not really bothered by that as it doesn't seem to be causing any trouble by itself. Many thanks, Simon "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers.

[opensuse] FreeNX On 10.2 Alpha 5 x86_64
by Scott Alan Chaffin 25 Oct '06

25 Oct '06

I'm running SuSE 10.2 Alpha 5 x86_64 on a Sun SunFire X4200 (two dual-core AMD Opteron CPUs and "uname -a" produces: Linux seneca 2.6.18-9-default #1 SMP Mon Oct 2 23:27:41 UTC 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) and most things seem to work fine, but I can't seem to get either the NX that comes with 10.2 to work or install a newer version of FreeNX on this system. I have FreeNX installed and working on several other computers runing SuSE 10.1, but none of them are running the 64-bit version of Linux. Has anyone had success running FreeNX on a similar platform? Is this a 64-bit or SMP issue or is it something about 10.2? I have tried this with both AppArmor and the firewall disabled and it makes no difference.

The supplied version of KSynaptics on the cd/dvd (0.2.4) is broken in that respect. If you add: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/cboltz/SUSE_Linux_10.1 ---------------------------------- Hmm, this isn't doing what I expected yet :( I downloaded the RPM from this site (ksynaptics-0.3.1-6.1.i586.rpm), and it installed without error. However, I don't have anything in my menus, the toolbar, nor on my desktop, and when I search for it, I don't find anything either. Asking RPM what this file provided just shows me a bunch empty directories and a large number of files that appear to be localized messages (they're all under some directory called LC_MESSAGES, which in turn is under a directory named for a locale). Running find from the root doesn't show anything up that looks tempting either. Did this install correctly? And, if so, how do I run it?

I'll admit I haven't investigated in detail the torrent mechanism, and so can't tell what will happen if the main torrent server changes the base files mid way through a torrent download. I do know what I was seeing. Torrent uploads & downloads were continuing and the files were unusable. The status of the files wasn't showing an error. The torrents were started about a week before the change, and I noticed the problem about a week afterwards. Can you explain what would have been happening in the week when everything looked OK but wasn't? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

mplayer on a dual head setup
by Primm 25 Oct '06

25 Oct '06

Hi everyone. I've a laptop I've which I dual head at home with an lcd monitor. It works fine apart from videos (of any type). The laptop alone plays them fine but I can't see them on the lcd dual screen under M-player. the strange thing is that Avidemux plays them no problem at all. Under M-player I get sound but a blank blue video screen. The lcd plays them fine too when connected directly to the server. 10.1 There's some stuff on google but not quite what I'm describing. Any ideas anyone? Cheers, Steve.

Are Nvidia drivers worth the effort?
by Phil Burness 25 Oct '06

25 Oct '06

To install the nvidia drivers I need to upgrade my kernel (apparently), currently using 2.6.16.13-4-default. To upgrade my kernel I have to download it and presumably the src code for it. Not a problem in itself, but I then have to get my wireless card working with the new kernel (It's a D-Link G520) not supported as standard. This means I have to obtain and compile / install the madwifi package as well. Once I have done all this and re-booted and re-configured my wireless network card I can get access to the net again and then download and install the drivers. So the question is - Is it worth it? Are the nvidia drivers so much better than the standard x-org ones? I guess if your running fast games etc. then it probably is, but what other advantages will it give me? Phil

The new driver -- 1.8776 -- fixes a security hole in the drivers which has been around since 2004 and is now available for download from the NVidia site. Cheers. -- This morning my administration released the budget numbers for fiscal 2006.
