[opensuse] NetZero
by Art Fore 31 Dec '06

31 Dec '06

I sent my sister my old laptop, a Dell Inspiron 8500 w/Suse 10.1, and she is trying to connect to NetZero. I got it partially setup before I sent it to her, but we are still having problems, but I am sure it is just setup, but I am in Taiwan and She is in Albuquerque. Does anyone have any of the setup info for NetZero such as DNS servers for the dial on demand setting in the modem setup, or any other setups such as for email pop and smtp servers, etc. Any info would be much appreciated.

[opensuse] Fwd: Microphone quit working
by Robert Lewis 31 Dec '06

31 Dec '06

I was hoping someone might advise how I could go about trouble shooting a microphone that has stopped working. I have tried 3 sound mixers. I have other machines that are working. The microphone worked with 10.1 and the initial install of 10.2 but quit working after, I suspect, a software update. It won't work using krecord or skype. Maybe I should enter this into the SUSE bug system but I thought I would ask first for help here. It is a dual boot machine and if I boot (rarely) XP then it works fine.

[opensuse] Opening image links from KDE apps broken
by Jeffery Fernandez 31 Dec '06

31 Dec '06

g'day I have come across this problem on Opensue 10.2 where when I click on a link (url) of an image in any KDE related application ie. kmail, Konversation, etc., it says it opening it and opens the image in "kuickshow" (which is another kde app) but the image is completely black.. I cannot see it at all. But if I manually copy the link and paste it into a browser, I can see the image. Anyone experienced this ? here is a link to reproduce: http://www.catscratch.net/pix/luv_logo.png -- Powered by openSUSE 10.2 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.18.2-34-default KDE: 3.5.5 "release 45" 11:34am up 2 days 18:20, 3 users, load average: 0.31, 0.30, 0.27

[opensuse] Mail from FireFox.
by Fred A. Miller 31 Dec '06

I'm sure this has been "covered," but I can't find it. In openSUSE 10.2 and FireFox, how does one have FF send a link in email via KMail? I've spent all the time, and more, I had to try and find the "hook" to do this. Thanks!

It would be interesting to know how Distrowatch collects it's downloads statistics. I could just be click throughs or downloads from the 'watch page which may or may not be complete or even close to accurate. > It is interesting that Knoppix, IMHO by far better live CD, is not more > popular. This is possible with Knoppix too, but than you are on your own for > updates from Debian. Pre-Ubuntu, Knoppix was the LiveCD of choice and there were many customized versions available that were based Knoppix. But since Ubuntu, such activity has significantly slowed and it appears that its community has shrunk. The long promised Knoppix 5.1 was just released today and I will be very curious to see how it performs. 5.01 was a bit on the slow side in performance. > It seems that many go for a solution that is Live CD, but offers installation > and support. Having a live CD is nice to see how well a distribution will run on a particular computer but the rubber doesn't hit the road until you install it. In my LUG, I have seen many times, including Knoppix, where the distro would run "Live" but not install and run without some significant tweaking. My two cents worth.

[opensuse] how to install usb external disk
by Primm 31 Dec '06

31 Dec '06

I have a zaapa usb external drive. I thought I could simply plug it in and write to it. It does not show up under the kde 'my computer' as I expected it would. Running evmsgui it shows as /dev/evms/sda but I've no idea how to write to it. Why doesn't it simply show as /dev/sda? How can I get to use it? thanks.
