[opensuse] Setting up NFS with Suse 10.2
by Tim Erickson 28 Dec '06

28 Dec '06

Hello I'm looking to set up Suse 10.2 to share files between several computers in my home via a wireless router. [Linksys WRT54GL] The router is the connection to the internet btw. I would like to use NFS but having never done so before I'm looking for some advice and/or links to how-to files for SUSE. Currently I have installed the NFS software for client and server on the main machine and my laptop and have tried to get them to talk to each other with no luck. All my attempts at configuration have been done with the YAST2 modules since I figure that is the most fool-proof method. Q: Do I need to have NIS server setup? The machines get their addresses from the router's DHCP. Is this relevant? Q: Is there a special configuration I need to do within the router? VPN? Q; Is there a better way? Samba, iFolder?

It seems that configure > can "see" some of the files within the jar but not all. I do not think configure even looks at the content of the jar - this is java compiler's job. Most likely you do not specify all necessary jars to the compiler. But it's hard to tell anything specific without knowing what exactly you are doing and what errors you are getting.

[opensuse] Comparisons
by Stevens 28 Dec '06

28 Dec '06

After installing both Suse 10.2 and FedoraCore 6 and banging around on both of them a little, my impressions are: Both installations went very well, no surprises. FC-6 uses Gnome; KDE is available but not installed. Gnome is better than I remember, but still sucks in comparison. FC-6, in its distributed form, is less capable than Suse 10.2 but is still adequate for many home users. FC-6's update tools are un-intuitive and clumsy to change. Once mastered they work well, but the mastering is a pain. I could go on but the point is that Suse 10.2, for me, is a better distro. YMMV -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Kweather
by Matthias Titeux 28 Dec '06

28 Dec '06

Hi, Since OpenSuSE 10.1, I noticed that Kweather don't work properly. I am able to install it (package Kdetoy I think), and launch the applet in the tray. However, when i select a weather station (anywhere in the world, USA, France....), Kweather say that the station is off. On OpenSuSE 10.0, the same station works and Kweather reports the weather nicely. It is not a big problem obviously, but still, the problem persists in OpenSUSE 10.2 and I don't understand what's wrong. What is odd, is that kweather seems to be able to fetch informations because when I am in the menu where you configure the stations - and I do a refresh - the icons associated with the stations change to display the weather (sunny, cloudy...). Is anyone have any idea ? Thank you. And Happy X-mas hollydays Matthias -- ___________________________________________________ Matthias Titeux, PhD Departement de génétique des maladies epithéliums INSERM U563 - CPTP Pavillon Lefebvre, 5ème étage CHU Purpan 31059 Toulouse cedex 03 __________________________________________________ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] VLC, succes, let it be known...
by Verner Kjærsgaard 28 Dec '06

28 Dec '06

Hi list, - please foregive me for this post as it is not a question! - the last defence of lots of my friends just came down this morning - as I was made aware of VLC for SuSE. It's a FINE media player that imidiately turns SuSE10.2 into an excellent DVD/film player. - so, this mid day yet one more friend of mine, a hitherto ordinary wdooze user, was turned into a SuSE10.2 addict. SuSE10.2 and VLC did it. - check www.opensuse.org, type vlc in the wiki search and off you go. - I made this post as I thought that this application is a real killer app., one that everyone should be aware of. -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard ------------------------------ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
