[opensuse] Problems with dbus-python
by Torvald Bringsvor 24 Nov '06

24 Nov '06

Hi. I think there is some problem with the dbus python libraries in opensuse 10.2 beta2. I have these rpms installed: python-2.5-11 dbus-1-python-0.71-25 dbus-1-0.95-4 When I try to follow the python dbus tutorial it fails at the very start: Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Oct 23 2006, 17:59:17) [GCC 4.1.2 20061018 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import dbus >>> d = dbus.SessionBus() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/_dbus.py", line 266, in __new__ return Bus.__new__(cls, Bus.TYPE_SESSION, use_default_mainloop, private) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/_dbus.py", line 99, in __new__ bus._connection = dbus_bindings.bus_get(bus_type, private) File "dbus_bindings.pyx", line 1693, in dbus_bindings.bus_get TypeError: exceptions must be strings, classes, or instances, not type However this succeeds: >>> d = dbus.SystemBus() >>> Have any of you tried this?

[opensuse] The dilemma
by Stevens 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

To top post or bottom post, what a dilemma. It is a social catastrophe that ranks up there right beside squeezing the toothpaste tube in the middle or installing the toilet paper roll backwards on the roller. (Backwards, of course, is opposite what you were taught by your mother). Some guys unzip, do their business, zip up and leave. Others take their pants half way down whilst standing. Again, I think it goes back to what was taught by dear old mom. So, the next time someone is offended by the placement of replies to a post, either top or bottom, just chalk it up to improper potty training as an infant. (Either their offense or the placement, take your pick) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

For these filters it could be quiet handy to have something like "keyword" and "period:-7d" to search during the last 7 days for example.

[opensuse] Seamonkey 1.0.6 rpm?
by Daniel Bauer 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Hi, I can't find seamonkey 1.0.6 rpm's for 10.0, only 1.0.5 and 1.0.99 which seems to be a beta version but I'd like to have the stable one. Am I just too blind to find them (then can you please tell me where to look) or do I just have to wait another little while? thanks Daniel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Switzerland professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com Madagascar special: http://www.sanic.ch --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Broadcom wireless and static address under ndiswrapper.
by John Pierce 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

I just installed opensuse 10.1 on a new dell inspiron 9400 and the only way to get the wireless working was with the ndiswrapper. It is a broadcom bc44XX built in wireless chipset. The Knetworkmanager connects to my wireless router just fine. However I run a local network and wish to use a static address and I cannot get it to allow me to set the address of wlan0 to be static and use my personal nameservers. Any thoughts, TIA John -- Registered Linux User 263680, get counted at http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Wireless
by Fred A. Miller 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Is anyone use any of the Intel PROWireless mini-PCI wireless cards? If so, are the drivers good? I recently ended up with an HP nx9010 as part of payment for some work. 10.1 runs VERY well on it, but it didn't ship with wireless. Thanks!
