[opensuse] Wireless AP or not?
by John Pierce 25 Nov '06

25 Nov '06

Hello, I no this is probably not the best place to ask this one but here goes. I have network laser printer and I need to relocate it, where I am wanting to move it to cabling would not be practical. I have a wireless broadband router/network switch. Could I use a wireless AP to connect to the printer and then allow network access to the printer through it? I seem to recall seeing a Wireless AP with one RJ45 port included.

[opensuse] Fwd: Dell D820 & Suspend to ram on SUSE 10.1, SLED or SLES
by Bjørn Kelsen 25 Nov '06

25 Nov '06

Hi, I've had Suspend to ram work on my Dell D820, by using "s2ram -f", this was running 0pensuse 10.1 However when I moved up to SLED I've gotten a problem where it seems to work but after a few minutes my keyboard start writing multiple characters when pressing the key only once, and typically my Firefox will freeze. Switching to console Ctrl-Alt F1 everything looks just fine, but my X windows environment is frozen. Resetting it by moving to runlevel 1 and back to 5 doesnot fix it - only a full reboot brings me back to normal. As explained these problems ONLY occur after a suspend to ram and a return, never after a complete shutdown - so it has to be a suspend problem - I just cant figure out which one. I have gone thru all the different options that S2ram has - and none of them solves the issue. Somewhere I've seem postings hinting that it may be an APIC related issue, but why the subtle difference between opensuse 10.1 and SLED then ? Any ideas ?

[opensuse] 10.2 RC1 feedback
by Janne Karhunen 25 Nov '06

25 Nov '06

Hi, Just my 2 cents. 10.2RC1 is ready to go. Really, really smooth release. No matter how you shake it, this works. Both KDE and GNOME just work and look polished. This is from completely different planet than the 10.1. Great work folks. -- // Janne -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Internet installation of 10.2beta2
by A. den Oudsten 25 Nov '06

25 Nov '06

Lectori Salutem, I burnt openSUSE-10.2-Beta2-i386-mini.iso on a cd with Nero Linux, as well as with K3B. With both it was impossible to start. With the internet disc of 10.1 it went flawless. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, André den Oudsten -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Network/Subnet Calculator
by Rob Wright 25 Nov '06

25 Nov '06

Greetings, I've been trying to find a good graphical network calculator to use. I have ipcalc, and it's a good tool, but it doesn't do hex output. I'm trying to learn more about TCP/IP and I'd like to be able to convert from hex to decimal to binary and basically just play around with the numbers to see how they work. I can do conversions in the KDE calculator, but it won't allow me to put in a network address, or at least I haven't been able to figure out how yet. Any suggestions?

Thanks > > this is explained on the wiki > jdd > > Which you have to dig a lot in to find :-) Since the OP doesn't appear to subscribe to opensuse (at least he doesn't post there), here's my reply from there (with caveat spelled properly this time): http://en.opensuse.org/Updating_SUSE_Linux Essentially you are just adding the new version's installation repository as an installation source, and updating everything for which a newer version is available (which of course will be everything you have installed already). If you have installed anything from an external repository, eg. from Packman or the opensuse "additional" repositories, you will also have to amend those entries to point to the new version's packages. Anything which cannot be upgraded must be removed. Caveat emptor -- there is a strong warning at the top of the page that this procedure is not supported, and I suspect the overwhelming majority of the list's members would strongly recommend against it. -- The best way to accelerate a computer running Windows is at 9.81 m/s² -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Re: OpenSuSE and MS-Novell deal. (moved from opensuse-amd64)

I don't feel Mr Leopardi represents "open source people" per se. There are a variety of opinions. OTOH, you could answer his questions.

MS will talk about whatever seems to be to its advantage. What it then does is somewhat independent. That's normal for companies. It's called marketing. I'm not clear about what your concerns are. That Novell will enter into an invalid agreement and be subject to legislation? That MS will?

MS can bring many cases, but once a couple fail they've had it, AIUI, unless they can keep coming up with unique situations (which seems unlikely). The only way to make use of this is as a threat, making companies hope they won't be singled out. But it can only happen once or twice unless the case has merit (which it seems not to). The rest of this seems like FUD. IBM and Novell are not the only parties who make use of open source. It is possible for companies to organise. And when has a software patent violation where prior art exists stood up? Can you give an example? Russell Jones Volker Kuhlmann wrote: > On Sat 18 Nov 2006 18:10:06 NZDT +1300, Paul C.

[opensuse] Is this list obsolete?
by Chris Carlen 25 Nov '06

25 Nov '06

Hi: With the new NNTP based support forums, is this list obsolete? Ie, are all the messages here correlated with one or another of the forums? If so, which ones? It can be disadvantageous when there are so many sub-categories of NNTP forums, because each one carries only a subset of the community, and thus the probability of having one's post read by an interested party is less than with a less subdivided arrangement. For this reason, perhaps this list is still advantageous? Hmm, browsing the Novell site, I don't even see this list mentioned anymore. It appears to all have been transfered to NNTP/HTTP. Is there a link for subscribing to email lists anymore? Thanks for comments. Good day! -- _____________________ Christopher R.
