They've probably gotten better since my experience with them (SiS), but once burned badly, I tend to not try something again. I don't have time to mess around with something that has been so problematic in the past. > I've found some others as well, when building systems, but I'm not one > to go after the absolutely latest thing out either.

AMD has a golden opportunity to propel ATI to the forefront in graphic boards, chip sets, and support - IF they will simply do what's in their best interest and open up the firmware code! I don't expect to see that happen, but certainly would welcome being wrong. Happy New Year!

[opensuse] Evolution:sending email to two addresses
by Toshi Esumi 31 Dec '06

31 Dec '06

Hi, I'm looking for a better way than manually typing the second email address for one person in cc. I set two email addresses for the person in Contacts as Work and Home. But once I chose one of them into To: list, the other disappears from the selections. The version is 2.8.2 w/ 10.2.

[opensuse] Xen: trouble with network access within Dom0
by Stephan Hoffmann 31 Dec '06

31 Dec '06

Hi, list! I just installed OpenSuSE 10.2 on my brand new AMD-Athlon64X2 4200+ system, everything with default settings, only added xen. I thied both x86 and x86-64 architectures. Running the system without xen works fine. As soon as I boot the xen-enabled image I cannot access my ethernet-port any more. I tried several oprions (DHCP, fixed setting, configuring with ifconfig from within dom0) but without any success. Of course I disabled the firewall as one of the first measures and I also didn't forget to enable IP forwarding. Then I thought that there might be a driver problem with my onboard ethernet (ALi Corporation ULi 1689,1573 integrated ethernet (rev 60)). So I tried a usb-to-ethernet adapter (pegasus), and that worked. Fine, so I seemed to be right with my assumption. No, I was not. I installed an old PCI-ethernet adaprter (Davicom Semiconductor, Inc. 21x4x DEC-Tulip compatible 10/100 Ethernet rev 31) and that one works as bad as the first one. So has anybody any idea how to get the internal ethernet interfaces to work? Many thanks!

[opensuse] sound....
by Michael Comperchio 31 Dec '06

31 Dec '06

Happy New Year !!! I was wondering if anyone might have an idea what could cause the sound output jacks on my laptop to stop working.... The internal speakers work fine, but really s***k for listening to music while I'm coding... The jacks did work at one time, but after upgrading to 10.2, they seem to have stopped. The maching is an HP dv2120us, Turon 64x2, 1 gig ram, 120 gig hd, NVIDIA graphix (and everything else it seems). I'm using NDISWRAPPER to make the wireless work, SuSE 10.2 - 86_64. The machine & OS work great other than that.....oh yeh, except that I haven't yet got the built in Camera working.... any suggestions on that would be greatly appreciated... thanks Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

In Firefox - which is the, or one of the, browsers under discussion the default place where files are downloaded to if nothing is deliberately set is the Desktop. Check it out for yourself. If you do NOT have any file associations set in FF and you come across a pdf file *for the first time* and click on it, FF will give you a menu where you have a choice of what to do with that pdf file. If you simply choose to download it then FF will do this: - if you have set a download directory for *any* downloads (Edit/Preferences/Downloads) then this pdf file - which WILL have a specific name, and not a random name as you mention above - will be downloaded into the set download directory; - if you do NOT have a set download directory then FF will download the file to the default destination which is Desktop. > The OP is asking how to change that destination to be somewhere under his > home folder instead. All one has to do is set the damn destination in Preferences in FF! :-) .

[opensuse] SUSE 10.2 in South Africa yet?
by Hylton Conacher(ZR1HPC) 31 Dec '06

31 Dec '06

I went to the shop.novell site to obtain SUSE 10.2 and navigated to EMEA region where I see that only 10.1 is available. It was available on the Americas and ASia Pacific link so I tried that instead but was not able to order a box set of 10.2. When I proceded to the checkout after selecting 10.2 and my country for the $10 DHL fee,I was greeted by the following message despite repeated tries from a 512kbps ADSL line. 'Redirection limit for the URL had been exceeeded. Unable to load the requested page. This may be caused by cookies that are blocked. [OK] I have used the web to order many things ie Amazon, Linux Journal, Linux Magazine, and never had this problem. A web developer at Novell needs waking up so he can correct the site for EMEA or aren't we supposed to get it? :) Hopefully the Novell customer research centre will reply but if not, where can I obtain a new boxed set 10.2? :( -- ======================================================================== Using SuSE 9.2 Professional with KDE and Mozilla Mail 1.7.13 Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org ======================================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I asked because I wanted the answer primarily for SUSE systems....mine and others. I made the comment about the 'Bloze version of FF simply because of sites where I HAVE to use their equipment, I use Portable FF and Thunderbird on a USB MEM stick. And, NO, it DOESN'T work.
