[opensuse] The security announce list is missing from the lists...
by Boyd Lynn Gerber 24 Nov '06

24 Nov '06

Hello, This list <suse-security-announce(a)suse.com> is missing from http://lists.suse.com and http://lists.opensuse.org I really think this list should either be listed or migrated to the new structure. I have not had an email on it since Nov 10. I just saw that on factory it was listed. So I tried to find the archive to see what posts I may have missed. This list is/was very important to me. I would like to have it searchable as well.

Anyone know of a repo to upgrade to Evolution 2.8 on Suse 10.1? (I found a post that says its not worth the trouble, rather install 10.2, this true?)

[opensuse] "ipw2100: Fatal interrupt" with WPA
by David Geiger 24 Nov '06

24 Nov '06

Hi, I'm using SUSE 10.1 and ipw2100 with a WPA Connection. When I cause a low of traffic (downloading files or using VoIP telephony), the Wi-Fi connection is disconnected every few minutes. The more traffic, the more often disconnected. Have already tried to install ipw2100-1.2.0 with ieee80211-1.2.15, but the problem remains. (Kernel 2.6.16.21-0.25 uses ipw2100-1.1.3 by default.) Before changing the ipw2100 version, I got a lot of messages like "kernel: eth1: NETDEV_TX_BUSY returned; driver should report queue full via ieee_device->is_queue_full. ". They have disappeared now, but the disconnect problem remains. WEP connections work fine. What can I do? Are there better working versions of the kernel modules? I think the firmware version shipped with 10.1 (ipw-firmware 7-10) is current. # dmesg: ipw2100: Fatal interrupt. Scheduling firmware restart.

[opensuse] all threads on one page
by Istvan Gabor 24 Nov '06

24 Nov '06

Hello: 1. How could I make all the threads of this list visible on one page (for the selected month)? Like before on the SLE/suse- linux-e list. A remark: The view of this new list is very ugly in my browser (opera 9.02). The letters are too big and in the case of the messages' body they are ugly too. I haven't changed the settings of my browser.

Fwd: [opensuse] Want To Try OpenSUSE - But Struggling With Live DVD
by Redefined Horizons 24 Nov '06

24 Nov '06

Thanks Ted. The computer is actually a couple of years old, so I don't think I have any really new hardware. (I did but in a new hard drive and DVD drive this last few months though.) All I really want to do is install OpenSuSE on an empty ext3 partition on the hard drive. I'm already running Debian on the computer, and I want to try dual-booting with an RPM based distro. Perhaps the LiveDVD isn't the best way to get OpenSuSE installed. I don't have a connection to the internet on that computer. Should I try to install from CD, or will I run into the same problems?

At this moment, we're just in progress of upgrading the whole GroupWise system from 6.5.5 to 7.0.1, but I can not yet tell you how long exactly it wil take to migrate all the 48 GroupWise - Servers :-( Hope to have this fixed soon, for everybody.

[opensuse] Want To Try OpenSUSE - But Struggling With Live DVD
by Redefined Horizons 24 Nov '06

24 Nov '06

I want to try OpenSuSE, but I'm struggling with the Live DVD I downloaded and burned. First I couldn't load the DVD because I didn't have the required 512 MB of RAM. I got around that by using the shift key trick. However, when I get the "can't find kernel image" message when I try to run the DVD from the text mode by entering "linux" or "failsafe". I read something about OpenSuSE not supporting certain types of disk drives, or something like that. Is there a work-around simple enough for a noobie, or do I need to look at another RPM based distro? Thanks for the help. I hope I'm not overlooking something obvious. I'd really like to get OpenSuSE working. Scott Huey -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] how to change UI language in firefox?
by Istvan Gabor 24 Nov '06

24 Nov '06

Hello all: I would like to set the user interface language of firefox to Hungarian but I don't know how. The system is suse 10.0 with 3.5.3 Level "a". These firefox packages are installed: MozillaFirefox-translations-1.5.0.7-1.3 MozillaFirefox-1.5.0.7-1.3 The KDE user interface is set to Hungarian and the menus are displayed in Hungarian. But I could not find any option in Firefox to display the menus in Hungarian. I googled and searched the mozilla site too but all the hits looked to deal with xml language not user interface.
