[opensuse] OpenSUSE 10.2 in Linux Magazine
by Kai Ponte 29 Dec '06

29 Dec '06

For those who are curious, OpenSUSE 10.2 will be available in the February issue of Linux Magazine. (It comes with a DVD each month.) http://www.linux-magazine.com/issue/75 I used this to load 10.1 on my systems and it came with all the non-OSS stuff you need, such as Java and MP3 playback. I expect that the 10.2 version will as well. -- kai - theperfectreign(a)yahoo.com www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com www.filesite.org || www.donutmonster.com wo ist der ort für den ehrlichsten kuss ich weiss, dass ich ihn für uns finden muss... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] k3bsetup missing kdesu?
by Zhang Weiwu 29 Dec '06

29 Dec '06

Using the newly installed SuSE 10.2 When I start k3b I was told I need to run k3bsetup, and if I run k3bsetup I was told command not found: 'kdesu'. I tried a lot to find which package might contain this 'kdesu'. I installed KDE Utilies package, KDE Extra Utilities, KDE libraries but non seems to have this tool. If I remember well this tool was there in SuSE 10.1 default installation (X system had gnome chosen). I also tried to google it, google result seems to suggest a kdedu package was there for 10.1. I can hardly google further because after the Taiwan earthquake every webpage outside China is very difficult to reach. (I hope this email can reach the mailing list ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Following the instructions I went, as su, to the directory of the CD and entered ./install.wp The return was bash: ./install.wp: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Access denied What can I do?

[opensuse] MIME Certificates available to KMAIL
by Lívio Cipriano 29 Dec '06

29 Dec '06

Hi all, I'm using SuSE 10.1 and KDE 3.5.1. I've some MIME certificates in Firefox that I exported in PKCS12 format. When I imported them using KDE Control Center -> Security & Privatcy -> Crypto -> Your certificates -> Import, I'm asked if I want them available to Kmail, I answer yes and I'm directed to Kleopatra and prompted for the password of the bundle, but I receive the message that it was not possible to decrypted it. What am I doing wrong? Regards and Happy New Year Lívio Cipriano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SUSE 10.2 Repo - ftp.chg.ru - ?
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 29 Dec '06

29 Dec '06

Hi all, I just installed SUSE 10.2. The Online Update config did not find the 'drives' in the URL in Switzerland (TU-Wien) it automatically configured at installation. I deleted the Installation resources and entered those on the openSUSE site: http://en.opensuse.org/Mirrors_Released_Version for the servers nearest to me (Germany). Then it worked. I started the the Yast Online Update (after running the Online Update Configuration) which suddenly went to a source in Russia? http://ftp.chg.ru/pub/Linux/SuSE/suse/update/10.2?alias=SUSE-Linux-10.2-Upd… Why that? Where did it come from? It wants to update a flash plugin ... (which I stopped till I am sure, even if there was a flight of files flying through the Online Update Config with some certificates ??...) Sometime ago such .ru URL's were viewed as risky. Is this source safe? On the official Mirror List above, only ftp://christ4you.ru/ is listed for Russia. ?:-/ Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] No updates?
by Tom Horsley 29 Dec '06

29 Dec '06

I've installed 10.2 from the DVD I made from the iso image. I've configured update sources, yet as ancient (in computer time, anyway) as 10.2 is, zypper always tells me there is nothing to do when I try it: Restoring system sources... Parsing metadata for 20061219-202641... Parsing metadata for SUSE-Linux-10.2-Updates... Parsing RPM database... Summary: Nothing to do. I see it saying it is looking at metadata for updates, so it must think it knows where to find some. A service-list says: # | Enabled | Refresh | Type | Name | URI --+---------+---------+------+-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | Yes | Yes | YaST | 20061219-202641 | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/non-oss/ 2 | Yes | Yes | YUM | SUSE-Linux-10.2-Updates | http://ftp.ale.org/pub/suse/update/10.2 3 | No | Yes | YaST | 20061213-191726 | ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/ Are there really no updates yet from the original DVD iso image? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
