[opensuse] Problem with SeaMonkey and a site...
by Boyd Lynn Gerber 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

Hello, My son is a Harry Potter(HP) and a site is giving him problems. There are two problems The site has a popup that get's bye the blocker and it hangs SeaMonkey. I wonder if someone could check the site and see if you have the same problem with the latest SuSE version of SeaMonkey? If I click on anything in the site Seamonkey locks up hard. http://www.mugglenet.com/ It is OK till you click on any link in the whole site. You can choose open in a new window the link and you get the link, but if you try to go back or do not open a new window with the link it hangs SeaMonkey. The site owners seem to think it is a SeaMonkey bug and will do nothing to fix the problem. I want to make sure it is not just my systems. I have Mplayer as a plugin. Where should this be reported?

[opensuse] System clock traveling back in time
by Sven Jacobs 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

Dear mailing list, for months now I have strange problem with my computers system clock. Every time I boot openSuSE (10.1) the clock is set back some hours into the past. With every reboot the clock more and more is traveling back in time. First I thought this was the result of a faulty mainboard battery and replaced it but it didn't help. Then I recognized that the hitch doesn't occur when I boot Windows XP. The kernel version is 2.6.18.1-1.3 but this problem already occurred with several older kernel versions. The system clock is set to local time in the YaST configuration. Any idea? Thanks! -- Sincerely Sven Jacobs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] NVIDIA Ge Force 7300GT
by Sergey Mkrtchyan 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

Hi List, There is a problem with NVIDIA Ge Force 7300GT, my friend has downloaded and installed a driver for it from Nvidia's official web-site, though the resolution remains to be very small and web-sites are not shown normally (letters are getting on each other). The preferrable resolution is 1400x900, and it used to work under it with SuSE, but he can't make it work now with SciLinux. There is a configuration file XFree86 there with lines in it _________________ Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection ________________ Is that the Modes where it should be changed to...what "1400x900", "1280x1024"? Don't knock me for topic which is not directly related to SuSE, but I guess that should be the same for different Linux-systems. Thanks in advance.

[opensuse] USB permissions screwed after last online update
by Martin Mielke 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

Hello everybody! I just noticed that I can't access my digital camera or my scanner as a non-priviledged after the last online update... The only way to do it is, as you guessed, being logged in as root... which is not what I like... Is there any place I should take a look at or a way to fix the permissions?

[opensuse] 10.1 terminally ill
by Peter Cannon 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

Hi All I'm not really looking for a fix persay more an explanation of why if possible as I intend to wipe it and start again when 10.2 is ready. I run OpenSuse 10.1 with KDE as the default however I've been using Gnome session over the last month or so I also was happily using Beryl with XGL. On Sunday last after messing with fstab (Which cant be related) my system started playing up. 1. Try to login for Gnome session: It looks like its working then jumps back to the login screen. 2. Try to login for KDE session: Error message dcop (might have spelt that wrong) server not running. 3. Try to login for FVwm session: All OK desktop comes up fine. 5. After running a FVwm session I can login to either Gnome or KDE weird or what? 6. .ICE authority permissions keep changing of their own accord: get an error message "Could not write to .ICE Authority" (I know how to sort that but not how to stop it changing on its own). 7. Beryl dead it was working before but now cannot use beryl window manager: It says compiz-manager is selected but thats dead too if I try to start beryl-manager from command line it says XGL not installed... But It Is!! The really strange thing is my daughters can login in fine although xgl/Beryl isn't working for them either. -- Regards Peter Cannon "There is every excuse for not knowing There is no excuse for not asking" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

But as you talk about NW3.12, there was no NSS available at all. NSS was introduced with NetWare 5.x on additional volumes than sys, and 6.0 was (IIRC) the first version to support the sys volume as NSS too.
