by Ciro Iriarte 11 Jan '07

11 Jan '07

Is there any plan to include support for this WLAN chipset?, it's provided by the manufacturer and GPL as i could read. It's listed on http://en.opensuse.org/Wishlist_Drivers for some time now... Is there any newer official channel for feature requests? Ciro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Can't find growisofs
by James Knott 09 Jan '07

09 Jan '07

I'm trying to use KDar to make a backup to DVD-RW. However, as soon as K3B attempts to write the disk, I get an error message "Could not find growisofs executable.". However, that file, wtih permissions 755, is located in /usr/bin, which is one of the directories K3B is supposed to search. If I try a DVD+R disk, I get an error "Could not determine size of resulting file.". The archive file is 4.3 GB, which should fit on either disk (4.7 GB). Any suggestions? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] hplip suse10.0 HP f335 create print queue failure
by Mike McMullin 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

Hardware: HP F335 Printer, Scanner, Copier Software installer: hplip-1.6.12.run hplip version: rpm -q hplip hplip-0.9.4-4 Situation: hp-setup failed to create the print queue, and displays the dialog box "failed to create printer queue, please restart CUPS." and restarting CUPS did not resolve the issue. Scanner is available under kooka, and test scan worked. Printing is not setup. How do I go about getting my print queue set up and defining the correct ppd file for printing. Side question: even though the scanner works in kooka, YaST2 scanner shows it as unconfigured. What's up with this situation, what impact does/could it have on other scanning software? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Synchronise KDE-PIM Data with syncml server (mobical.net) with opensync
by Jörg Spilker 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

Hi, can i sync my KDE-PIM data with a syncml server with opensync? I´ve an account at mobical.net and syncing my outlook data (with the sync plugin from nexthouse. It would be great if i could sync my office data with my private data at home. All the examples concerning syncml support in opensync are only describing the cases where opensync acts itselv as an syncml server (to sync with syncml clients like mobile phones). However in my case i want to use opensync as a syncml client. Do you know if this is possible.

Nvidia drivers cause blank screen loading X
by Chris Forzetting 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

hi all ~ I have an HP Pavillion dv6105us laptop, AMD Turion64, with a GeForce Go 6150, dual booting with Media Center and SuSE 10.1. Tired of no GL or 3D support in the dummy suse drivers, I have tried three different methods to install the real drivers, and they all caused the same problem. I have tried: YAST, 'tiny-nvidia-installer', and a direct rpm run, following the howto that the nvidia site points to, with the same result. I made sure I was in runlevel 3. Each time I installed the drivers, the install seemed to go without a hitch, no errors or crfashes, but after rebooting, X tries to start, and all I get is a blank screen. Crashing X shows an error about no screens being available. I don't know enough to directly configure the X server, and sax won't load. I'm going to image the disk before trying it again, since I have had to reinstall each time (the newbie curse). Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, -- Chris Forzetting, Tech and Trainer _________________________________________________________________ " 'Think as I think,' said a man, 'or you are a toad.'

Re: [opensuse] Boxed 10.2 orders

> I ordered my 10.2 boxed set yesterday, with 2nd day air - but if they take a > friggin week to ship it, I've just wasted my money. Hopefully the message > quoted above is just boilerplate passed along by some well meaning drone - if > not, I'll be rather disappointed in Novell's ability to plan and execute. I recall when I ordered SuSE 10.0 last year about this time (end of November). The retail product wasn't ready for shipment contrary to Novell emailing I had recieved. What I got for my "early" order was a pen in the mail, whoop de doo! I don't recall when I got the actual product via DR, but it was a very long long time... As to the second day air (or even next day order), it won't ship until it is available to ship and then you will get the priority shipment that you paid for.... After that experience, I have not bought the retail product nor have I missed not buying it as there is really nothing in the box that really justifies buying it; any extras that might be in the box you can find elsewhere for the downloading. Documentation is almost non-existent, not the days of old when there were 4 manuals that were over 2 1/2 inches in total thickness. But in openSuSE's defense, this is a community distribution, with very short lead times to release (openSuSE went from RC5 to Gold in a single weekend and then hit the mirrors the following Thursday. Release to Manufacturing, docs and box taking a month or two is not unreasonable and one should expect to wait. As an example, Windows Vista, 5 years in the making (no 6 month release cycle here), went Gold/RTM in November and we won't see it in retail early this coming year. And we know when a product is released to manufacturing from Microsoft, it is hardly a release candidate, usually buggy as ... with patches and service packs are not far behind. The first Service Pack for Windows XP was around 330 "fixes" and Microsoft has deliberiately held up the XP Service Pack 3, probably to assure upgrade compatibility with XP.

[opensuse] What happened to synce, rapi and kcemirror
by Marcel Ruff 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

Hi, with OpenSuse 10.1 i had nice access to my PDA (running Windows CE 4.1). I could copy files and get the PDA desktop to my X11 desktop (similar to vnc). I've used the tools synce, rapi and kcemirror to do this. Now after upgrading to OpenSuse 10.2 all those tools have disappeared, i can't access the PDA anymore. What happened to those tools? Are there some better tools bundled to 10.2? thanks Marcel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
